Yeah Jeremy, dont go all out yet.

Because big power costs a lot to get but..... thats only half of it.

You will need other things upgraded to make it useable and safe.

What some people do is work out a final goal, and buy things that will work for that goal. You dont have to have it all at once.

Brakes, maybe wheels and tyres, clutch, possibly driveshaft, diff centre, better suspension, instruments, etc.

Try and write a list of everything and add up the cost, its not cheap. Its almost not worth it when you look at it that way.

For example if you get a computer, get one that will accomplish what you want before moving on to a better car.

Would you bother spending that much on a gtt or just save for a gtr one day?

This can take a while to figure out, and the more you know the easier it is.

And, yes, google is the only way you will ever find out enough. :yes:

Awww, nice.

But look closer, it has old 32 syndrome, a hit in the front has pushed the headlights in a bit at the centre. (Not as bad as mine)

GTSTs and such were not pampered and looked after like some GTRs.

Also a reminder that some of us are heading to sdma tomorrow for some quality queanbo hillclimbing - http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/446214-sunday-at-sutton-rd-hillclimbs/

You know the deal! The more the merrier blah blah :P

    • 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.
