Hi all.

It was a damm good day.

Beautiful cars, Beautiful food and Beautiful people.

It was really good to see so many damm

fine examples of skylines.

The food at Amandas was to die for,

The view from Amandas was breath taking, the

view of Amanda could have been better,

she could've "" flashed for us""

My skyline is now owned by Moanie and Frank,

but saying that I also OWN theres.

But the best was the drive home

with franks, moanie and the xzotik1 owning that slow arse

ferrari.

Moanie and Frank: Thanks for the fun drive back

IT WAS REALLY GOOD.

Love cam..

i had fun on the trip up the old road, though i think the section between berowra and peats ridge could've been better - we went up pretty far!? it wasn't the "usual" old pac run i do...?!?!

anyways, as Cam mentioned, the drive back down the freeway was awesome - its a real pity we met up with the 550 Maranello at the end of the freeway!!!

dark, go back to page 8 and you will see a link to my gallery of the cruise, and im keen to see other photos too...

and the "flash" was gold :)

Hehehe... Maybe I did, maybe I didn't... :P

As for my pick-up attempt, well, your reaction said it all. :(

Good work Tosh, was a fun day, the food was great, the only thing lacking for me was that I didn't have a Skyline of my own to be thrashing. I must admit I felt very left out in that regard! If I wasn't so set on sinking a stack of money in to the Riv I'd have bought one about two weeks ago...

That said, the upside is that I got some pretty good video footage. I don't want to promise too much as far as that side of things goes, but I do intend to get at least a highlights clip together in the near future. When it's available I'll post the link on here for you all. Oh, and it will be for cable users or very patient dial-up users only. :)

What pick up attempts Tosh!!! :P That kid was such a cutie though :)

Cam...good to see you had fun! But seriously, i dunno how you could have possibly owned me!!! ;) That ferrari was so ready to give us a go....and then we had to go and run outta freeway :(

Hahaha...Tex you kill it!!! If it had been possible I would have fallen outta my seat from laughing so hard...and even then i was still giggling a good 10 mins after :)

Hehehe, good stuff. :) I thought for a moment I may have actually endangered you, due to the fact you suddenly weren't looking at the road anymore, but in the general direction of the floor of your car... :P Too bad I didn't get your reaction on video! :)

Great cruise, I enjoyed it. I've got some B&W footage from my mini camera - only a prototype setup at the moment but I'll dub some of it to audio and put it up when I get a chance.

Mona got quite a workout on the dirt section, don't have much of a tolerance for up and down do you? Shame :mad:

Incidentally Mona, my arse featured in the "other" film so don't worry about it.. these things happen :)

      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.
