Wow..VERY nice work!!

Just a quick question- having recently got a line of defects in my close to stock 33, how the hell do you avoid police attention in something as awesome as that??? Surely its a problem for you especially with those plates??

havent been pulled up yet .... exept once buy the pig on a bike on his way home tried to tell me he was trained in estimating speeds after i laughed at him he opened his wallet and coins fell down the side of my car ... thats police hospitality 4 ya .... i then proceded to argue how he could estimate my speed when he was a kilometre away and on a road bike ... after he told me the good old, i am in a good mood tonight so i will lwt u go .. not i dont have a radar and my wifes at home probably with another man so i cant stay and argue routine he then called me a hoon i said to him in a closing sentence ..... i am an enthousiast does that make me a criminal ......he then replied the number plates leave much to the imaginationand away he went.....

god bless him for just doing his job......

Hmm...maybe its reverse pyscology then, get the most modified car around, with plates that say "pull me over, i street race" ( :lol: not that i'm saying you do :) ) and they stay off your back.. interesting :)

Guess you've been lucky..or i've been unlucky...or a combination of both :P

Anyways back to topic - awesome car. 'nuff said B)

thats before i put 19k into the engine finished it a month ago, 13sec out of the stock engine i had in it before the rebuild and running 19inch wheeles that day who wouldnt do a 13 now thats history... but thanks for reminding me...

Plans on a brake upgrade at any time at all perhaps? :lol:

That was the first thing i did when i got my car, slotted dba 4000 n 'track' pads

Mate awesome car, wat mod plates u have to get also wat engineers certificates u got?

no mod plates or engineer certificates but yea i had hopes of a 10 sec at jambo but of coarse just when you think everythings ok the gearbox lockes up and when it did go i couldnt get second so with thAT in mind i bought a 6 speed dog box going in this week i am just waiting for the other wastegate and turbo from jap land so soon it will be twin turbo tdo625g and twin 48mm trust external wastegates with screemer pipes its gonna be loud as fu*k...i want to put a 4 inch straight through exaust..

i understand y people say how come so much money on a gtst but once i start building somthing i can stop ... but year i no i need the big brakes soon .....

I need a lift back from Willowbank when I destroy my box so you should come out. I can't be seen in anything that does slower than a 12 now. It's an image thing.

BTW, nice car....I am kinda the same....the only thing that stops me from spending more money on mine is the lact of it. I pretty much did what I could afford the the engine internals but I would have liked to do some other crap. At the end of the day I will be happy if I do an 11 on an engine I built.

I also admire your large wallet with the worn out edges.

    • 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.
