Yes mate I know. That was my first time I've tracked the car and also first time on south circuit. I went to learn the car and have some fun. I definitely have alot of learning to do but I think I did ok for my first time, not the easiest car to learn on haha

I got a 1:09, i know not very good, I think I'll run less boost next time and focus on track work. A few guys there were great support, I appreciated that!



Hey Ben did the boost controller give the error again after we had a look at it??
Did really well mate once you get comfortable with the car times will drop

Hey Nick,

Thanks again for the pointers and help. Funny enough it went back to normal, no errors came back but then came the next issue. I was running 23psi that day but in my last session it was constantly spiking to 30psi. I noticed from the sound of the gates and the power increase. I backed off and brought it in. It made some funny noises momentarily and I drove it home. I'll need to get it looked at

Who do you guys recommend for an honest Sydney tuner that deals with track cars? I've been told about the bloke up the coast but I'd like to know if there's anyone else local

Pulling 1:09 on your first track day is pretty good man. I thought you were doing well. See you next time hehehe.

Was going to ask how that noise went.
Hopefully it's nothing major.
But, if it is.....
Still get tp drool over just looking at your car.[emoji7]

    • 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.
