I was in Belair National Park over the weekend, and up the back it looks like they've recently done up the "Karka" area, pretty damned nice and a good BBQ spot.

It's $7 per car entry but that'd hardly break the bank.

The SAU Vic Club has pretty full calendar (incl. cruises) so it'd have to fit in there.

Also unless we went the whole way, I'm not really sure how good the routes would be from on our half, the GOR only really gets good between Lorne to Apollo Bay, and simply doing the direct highway drive isn't exactly riveting (trust me I've done it a dozen times in the last few years).

There were rumours of a Oz wide "Skyline Muster" earlier in the year, but it didn't gain enough traction, damned shame as I would have gone for sure!

Edit: Could always hookup with some Western Vic people?

They seem to have a couple of events on the horizon: http://www.wvcruiseclub.com/forumdisplay.php?f=63

They seem fairly organised and mature, despite a high percentage of Falcadore drivers, and they have a disclaimer. :D

That would have been awesome! My girlfriend was only saying this the other day that we should get a group and drive interstate. I'd definitely be up for it, even if it's just a small group, possibly Christmas time

6 months notice?!

If we were only going half way to Melb you could do it all in 1 weekend, I'd just need a few weeks / a month, personally.

Sure if it was some big muster you'd need a lot of notice but then I'd drop a LOT of things to be there regardless.

Me and my girlfriend did the Sydney to Adelaide trip in a day. Was a nice drive too, took it in shifts, one drove, one slept. Stopped for a couple drinks/meals on the way as well. As long as you are sensible about it, it's good

yeah well im not made of money ive been meaning to go to sydney for like 1.5 years and just havnt gotton there my mate would be willing to put a few of us up not sure how big his property is but we could bring tents :O

Vic would be good if you get down on the great ocean road. Need a bit more time that just the weekend to do that maybe.

As for a drive to Sydney, it's not really that exciting. I've done the trip several times in the last 5 years & I never look forward to it.

Only reason I'd wanna head up that way is to head to for something like the Canberra summer-nat's.

    • 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.
