Blast from the past indeed... Trav33 (PM Replied)

To everyone else; I learnt a very important lesson from that incident - always be vigilant about where you leave your car; what you leave in your car and most of all.... HAVE INSURANCE!!!

ztuned; thieves that leave your car there are usually oppurtunists - most would not even have the IQ to open a can of baked beans let alone unwiring a radar detector. When I got broken into; the idiots broke 2 windows to open unlock the passenger door, they ignored all the expensive items in the car and just went for the face plate (of which I had a spare, lucky for me).

Anyways, keep your guard up peeps!

Your car has beed keyed NINE times?!?!?!

You've definitely pi55ed someone off. There's no way that a car randomly gets keyed NINE times out of random jealousy attacks. You've either driven like a hoon (to put it lightly) around your neighbourhood one too many times and it's an enraged neighbour, or it's someone you know who absolutely loathes you.

Well since this thread was raised from the dead anyways I guess I might as well reply to this hehe. I didnt see this until now, dont post much these days :P

Yeah Andrew what your saying might be true. But my car wasnt keyed in my neighbour hood actually I live out in the sticks so there is no where to park except my own garage. On top of that I live in a semi rural area and there are little animals, children and elderly around the area and I know better than to hoon on my own street.

It was keyed 8 times at unsw car park on two seperate occasions. Ie keyed in 5 places first time and 3 places second time including a massive one on the bonnet.

Then the ninth time which was on the boot was in front of Hyde Park near the old amex building. The car has also been egged and people have spat on it all in different locations and different times of the year.

Not only that some f*cking prick smashed the drivers side mirror and keyed the passenger door of the Hiace I am currently driving around in last week, probably some drunk idiots on their way back home.

I think its just pure bad luck on my part.

As for driving like a hoon, no im not gonna deny it cause we are all guilty of driving like that at least once, some more frequent than others. But I dont purposely try to piss people off with my driving or cut them off dangerously. My definition of hoon is going over the speed limit a bit and revving out in lower gears when its not really necessary. Everything else I keep it for the circuit :P

Well the car hasnt been touched by vandals for almost 18 months now (touch wood).

    • 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.
