weather would be worse for you if you lived way out north - salisbury/elizabeth as im sure theres alot of trees there and also up towards norwood into the foothills.

i didnt catch the drift on sbs, i was there. =D

yes im sure everyone wants summer to come asap. but then when it does come, we will all be complaining how hot it is and how much car is overheating/struggling. hehehe

any stop overs on the way to ny andrew? how many hrs to lax btw?

The USA, the land of pimped out mercs, slammed beemers, and 24ich shoed SUV's....... oh and that dipstick named bush!!!!

Finals of the drift rocked... good on layton for killing em on the day.. oh and yup must agree some nice girls their too :P

Come on SUMMER!!!!!! WOOT beach and Bikini's

nah, you will never, ever hear me complain about summer - love it! :P

We fly from here to Sydney, have under 2 hour stopover, then it is 13 hours and 20 minutes to LAX from Sydney. We have a 1.5 hour stopover in LAX, then a 5.5 hour flight to JFK. All up just over 20 hours flying time. I love flying - free booze, individual LCD with unlimited movies and sitcoms, free food and drink, etc etc. We leave Adelaide at 6:45am, arrive in Los Angeles 7:10am - then arrive in New York 6:02pm - all on the same day - weird!

yes weather is awful atm. sam, did you get your alternator issue fixed yet? mine hasnt been fixed yet, doh!!!! oh, if you are getting a new (second hand) alternator, mind if i try yours to see if mine is dead. its been sitting in the shed ever since.

    • 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.
