Got a couple of more deliveries today, steering rack was done and dropped off for coating, should be good to get the front subframe in the car in the next couple of weeks. Be good to actually start putting it back together.

Must be nice to have forward progression 

Just getting stuff done/ ready, forward progression will be when the front end is back in. Active we’re really good, got the rack turned over in 24 hours, wish all the shops were that efficient

Absolute bastard 😤

If that was under 2k I'm impressed. The old man is bugging me to change our white 32 back to stock but everyone wants a pound of flesh for them 😡

I paid $2700 for it, I remember when bonnets were under 1k, some are asking 4K+ for them. All you can do is put the feelers out and see what pops up, I did a WTB add on the FB GTR groups, got about 4-5 responses, so they are out there, but like you said, pound of flesh, some want 2 pound! Lol

Twin scroll manifold, with pulses split to the gate, looks the business!

Silly to go single scroll these days, not sure why go many big setups still do this when you have beautiful manifolds like that!

Only reason is because a lot of turbos aren’t available with twin scroll housings any more 

Blame Murica, they're too busy doing twin turbos on everything they can find.

And from an educated guess, they're the world's greatest consumers of turbos and soon RBs lol.

Well with a 7675 strapped to it, I’ll need all the help I can get to get it on boost.

That is all suitable, They can even do plastic parts, he showed me a fuse box cover from a VL he did, looked brand new. I’ve given him a few plastic parts, I’ll post them when I get them back. 

Thanks for the info.

Received my first batch of Cerakoted parts today and they look so nice and OEM.

This will become an addiction. Bye bye bank account balance.

    • 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.
