Any further posts gloating about who people have chopped/thrashed/gone sick on/etc on public roads will be removed.

Hahaha 'gone sick on' that one got me laughing. Where did you pull that one from? Still trying to think exactly how one can go sick on a public road.

Some sayings these days just have no logic when it comes to putting it into practice...

incongruous, i got an idea,but NO more big words thanx!

i kept with a v8 VK the other night, we spoke,nice guy, said its a 215 injected,something bout 450 diff ratio said he ran 13.1 on slicks.)does this sound right?..

how much difference do slicks make?

i was kinda proud 4 keeping up.

he musta seen me teasing the 4door Lexus & MR Lancer with Monster Tacho HAHAHA

I find it incongruous that we laugh and share kill stories but we don't take to P platers or speeding too well...

Anyway onto the important topic of Skylines chopping other cars...

There are some very fast FTOs around... even with turbos.

T.

Yer Tony, I've still got a FTO and go into the FTOAUSTRALIA forum every so often and there are guys there that have transplated VR-4 Engines into them (at least 2 that I nkow fo, probably more). but they usually change them to singel turbos.

just heard today there was a FTO with racelogic traction control today getting 13.2 quarter and 2.0 60ft time. Not bad for a FTO.

    • 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.
