So you were running about the same power as my car which would have 0% traction loss with 8kg rears and less suspension work...

 

Yep, but your power came in way later. I have 4KG rears with helper springs, a Nismo 1.5way diff, running -1deg camber and AD08R's which were up to temp and running 30psi hot.

Not saying it's the best setup in the world, but it's not like it's a slammed 15KG rear springed 2 way on stretched 195 nankangs that cost $4 each :P

Yeh the other thing that I gotta keep in mind is the falcons are sensitive to diameter, like if the fronts have 650mm diameter and the rears have say 600mm (an example) traction control light just goes nuts thinking its spinning all the time, which is annoying because the 265/30 is cheaper than the 275/30s but the diameter is slightly smaller and don't want to have those annoying ass problems.

So I stick to tyre sizes I know look good and work

True, I mean I just copied pasted the emails but yeah. Finding sticky tyres in 19s with the right sized sidewalls, a lot of makes just make them big sidewalls which I don't really want (like a 245 / 40 as oppose to a 245 / 35) Invos / RS3 / NT05s / AD08s much harder to find them in the sizes I want, and if I do sometimes the prices are just stupidly high compared to the 'thick side wall' of the same tyre. Anyway seems st george are probably my best bet

Go with the more common one. remember sidewall is a % of the width too, not a direct measurement

Lack of PT from the airport is balls

I'd be happy to give up the most liveable city title for a year or two to get this done

 

yet neither liberal or labor will do it.... 

we need Kennett back... Kennett would have done it if he had time

    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
    • 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
