Troy your 32 was born to drift, they love it. I think drag is for people who can't drive (personal opinion) I can't drift very well but its heaps of fun. We should try and orgainise a day. Also nice shot of my car spinning it up over the top of the hill. Will anybody who took photos be at the meeting on tuesday beacause I don't have many pics of my car and I wouldn't mind some. Also troy do your spacers for your calipers have the holes opposite the old ones or are they offset?

Opposite or offset...?

Dont really get the question. The holes have the same centres, same bolting face as the std bolt holes, only they are 26mm further out. By same bolting face i mean the caliper is at the same offset relative to the rotor as std.

Meh, Drag racing is not as bad Gonorrhea, its more like herpes...it can be treated but there still doesnt seem to be any cure for those that love it:)

Hey guys, great day at the track..

I was talking to a guy from the WRX club today and he told me they compile a video each year of stuff from their track days, he asked if anyone has video footage they could contribute (especially things like andrew's flames which we all love).

Let me know via PM / this thread. I will post his email address as soon as i find where i bloody wrote it down!

I'm encouraging the old man to come down to the club meet. I may not be there. I'm sure I can find him a minder for the night :D

I've also given him the heads up about Winton pics too.

The next drift day, I may see if I can organise a photographers pass or something, and if the old man can't get out there, I'll get trigger happy instead.

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      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.
