Flat tyre yesterday... Nail goes in, Nail comes out... big hole and dropping 10psi in 2 minutes. Was running on the sidewall for a few km's, and it was only feeling mildly sloppy on the road... pulling slightly to the left. Only realised something was properly wrong when I booted it hard from the lights and the rear end started walking to the side.

Liam came and rescued me with a socket set and breaker bar, because top bloke.

The tree is HUGE. Cutting it down will be a full day with people in the air with chainsaws and it goes across 3 properties.

The council here LOVE fining people for cutting them down.

Guy up the road got dobbed in by some nosey f**ker and the council were there handing out fines before the tree was even down.

That would make sense but I was actually ahead from the get go. Maybe shit reaction time from him but AD08Rs are great at launching.

He did show me his launch at the next lights and it moved but not impressively so. Seen GTRs move quicker off the line.

When you do your fast and the furious antics on this street, how far do you go? Are we talking 0-60 here or full quarter miles at a time?

Just curious as to what interval to live my life by

    • 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.
