Ah seeing those Manley H-beam con rods takes me back. . . way back to my small block Chev days.

The days of the 80's when a set ( or similar, Carillo ) for a small block came in at $2100 and that was a big hit to the wallet for what I was earning back then !

Ah good old dinosaur days . . . . .

Isn't it a pain how many inputs DBW takes up!

If we remove the safety/redundancy features of it then you would only need 2x inputs. However having the safety features are a must to avoid throttle control issues.

Would be nice if Haltech released a new firmware for the Elite to support canbus keypads though :)

when I bought my car, I was deciding between a 135i or the R34.... sometimes I wish I went the BMW...... However when I see the 135i I don't look at it and go, man I wish I got that. but if I got the BMW I know I would regret not having the Skyline!

Haltech spent all their time/efforts on the Nexus which has that and PDM out of the box. It is a tempting upgrade however the price point is not right for me and I have no need for the PDM - not to mention it can't support fuel pumps or fans on PWM (current demands are too high). 

At some stage I still would need an I/O expander if I decide to go to DCT or ZF or sequential as I'm out of digital and analogue inputs for gear position, etc.

Yea but when you see M2s with just tyres only in stock form doing 1m5s around Wakefield you wonder what we are doing wrong LOL

meh, the gtr or an evo9 does 1.06 there with just tyres too, and they are 30 years old....

but they're AWD/4WD lol

I know, plenty of Euro haters here - but then again it is SAU :)

I'm just a closet Euro fan lol... still don't own one (not referring to daily) after all this talk.

I started with 1m18s (1st time), then a few goes later into the 15s, then suspension changes into the 12s, then tyres into the 9s. This was over a few years too!

    • 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.
