I'm thinking about another Evo... might grab a 9 this time.

They are great cars man. They just need a good 230+ AWKW

Skylines have ruined 2 litre engines for me

It's fine after you get used to the 2 litre

But then you get back in a Skyline and man do you notice the 500cc you're missing

I'm constantly surprised by the low end torque the 4g63t has, even before it's come onto boost (which happens very early, compared to the highflow on the 2.5)...

But it's still not a car that really makes you moist and love driving, especially at what I estimate to now be about 160awkw...

SR's are great and all... but fark the GTiR and its shims. whats the difference between a noisy GTiR head and a quiet one? apparently 2 thou (0.07mm) of shim.

i found that out this afternoon. $71 and 6 shims later. prick even charged $2 packaging and handling... i f**king picked it up.

Don't underestimate 2L.

The later focus and Mazda MPS 2L (or 2.5's for that matter) are basically built for down low.... It's just up top they waver (from factory)

Rather have the extra .5 giving torque everywhere

Maybe it's my turbo and engine combination but I love my RB25, it does so well everywhere

Lol, 334HP 230KG aussie built superbike and it's in production

that's insane

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
