Anyone ever heard of these guy's?http://www.slideindustries.com.au/product_p/tk-ni-rb.htm

He claims the turbo's and manifold are not made in China.

I've heard of them... Tats too... wouldn't know about the made in China thing though.

Not sure if coincidence but there used to be a place called Sliding Performance in Brisbane that used to sell performance parts.

I'd be wanting to know if they're the same place cause those guys stuffed me and a lot of guys around on orders before they were removed as SAU sponsors.

THE CAR IS READY!

Finally! :rolleyes:

I think you need to chuck a sickie and go get it.

Not sure on insurance as I'm Old, but Shannons works for me.

Who is the 33 insured thru? Hit them up.

THE CAR IS READY!

Going to hopefully pick it up Friday or organise someone to pick it up tomorrow.

Now suggestions for comprehensive insurance for a 23 year old male with no crash/suspension history?

Have you organised someone to pick it up for you? where is it located? If you need a lift tomorrow let me know

Nick was nice enough to sell me his R34 GTR VSPEC II NUR model kit. So got some things to help me out and build it !!!

I'll be going a Bayside blue (Redbull blue) instead of MJade as they didn't have the colour :(

So I got to see/drive the car for tonight. Staying at my Aunty and uncles and it's parked out the front.

I was filled with excitement and the car looks amazing, the paint is great and I love the pearl in the dark. First impressions when I went for a drive was that surprisingly enough my 33 feels 10x better to drive.

I think the coilovers are shot so they will need pulling out and replacing with some nice springs & shocks. The clutch feels a lot different because I'm so used to my heavy duty clutch and my loose gearbox.

Right now the rims are rubbing on the guards and have cracked the paint under it, similar to what happens when you try roll them without heating them.

No backfires or anything but I took it easy because it's got no insurance and needs a good service. Wheel alignment is needed and probably all the suspension looked at.

Very happy with the purchase though and I can't wait to get into some modding when I get back from NZ.

    • 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.
