A least I will build my own car and I will also drive it, although it might not go as fast but it would have to be more satisfying than just employing people to do everything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Maybe PAC PERFORMANCE can help me.

I understand its anyones right to have their say and view their thoughts on matters,but I think its time that I set the record straight about mario and his involvement in HIS GTR700 project,Comments on the forum about cheque book racing etc.Its fair to say that Mario has paid for the project and owns the vehicle in full

Its not fair to say that thats all his involment in the project is.

Mario has been very heavily involved in the development of the vehicle .Componentry ,combinations,set up.Those who have been involved in a project of this caliber will undestand what its all about ,for those who havent I hope you understand when I say that ,building a vehicle with the potential that marios has

is never as simple as FLEXING YOUR MASTERCARD.Who in their right mind will SELL you a combination that will ultimately challenge them.Mario spent most of his spare time reserching

possible combinations and ultimatelly had the final say.Mario definately didnt just buy myself (CRD) or Andrej the driver.

Its a full team effort to build and all involved have a purpose and their place. Understand this first then comment.

Eastern creek doesnt allow unregistered vehicles to run,

Heathcote is out the middle of nowhere.It allowed us to concentrate on the vehicle and not the crowds.also a top track to test on.

Then how does rotor master run there 7 second blue S6 there is no way in hell you could register that thing.

I think that is a terrific effort, just ignore all the people trying to drag you down. I know if I had a car that fast I would want the best driver possible to run it, if the car is possible of the 8's then you should choose a driver capable of getting this. Hence the reason most drag cars in Japan are driven by the same guy, Kawasaki.

Keep up the good work to all involved.

See'ya:burnout:

The amount that eastern creek charge for private testing and also

the possibility of interuptions we thought the

quieter the location the better.Guess I should ve mentioned I meant the wednesday night meetings. sorry guys

We also found we could gather so much more data and alter the

combo and test with out waiting in line for another pass

They run that RX7 on a wednesday night meet.

But i can understand not wanting 1000's of ppl around etc etc..

Funny that .I wanted to run my honda MRDMGE but was told

it had to be registered and engineer approved.???+the time

away private testing also helps. cheers

congrats on a great time mario.

i've been waitin to see this car see its full potential for ages :(

i was the one who said the first thing about cheque book racing, but i dont see mario that way in that he has a lot of input into the car, does a lot of research and he seriously knows his shit. looks like all that engineering has paid off, so good on him.

The good news is I dont think Mario gives a rats arse what we think! Thats why he will probably not even read this thread.

I like the idea of someone with deep pockets spending money on a quick GTR. I would like to see more people who aren’t trying to get you to buy a product, spending time developing a car they obviously love.

Mario's car is a simple statement that Skylines are a good thing.

    • 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.
