I have finally made it over to Sydney and I'm looking to meeting a few of you aussie tuners. Are there any car shows, night events coming up.

I also need to know where to find a good skyline dealer, any help you guys can give will be great!

Friday night on George street - thats where the sik people meet up......they waste around a tank of fuel every friday night going up and down george st hoping to get chick's nunmbers and show off their half assed rice boxes

Auto Salon Show- thats where all the mega expensive, excessively powered cars with so much bling under the hood you'd be crazy to drive it. In short, lots of show cars, lots of go cars, uunfortunately, they all sleep in the garage and never gets used the way its built for. Don't know when the next Auto salon is but should be around feb or maybe march (don't have a clue)

Race Track - This is where the big boys play!!! You won't see chromed wheels, you won't see dark tinted windows and you certainly won't see mega horse power cars sitting in the garage all day. This is where you'll see how these cars are MEANT to be used. Thrashed within an inch of their life and limp home for rebuilds.

SAU monthly dinner - this is where piss heads get together for a meal and booze. You won't see many good cars, just fun people.

    • 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.
    • Wow! how times change 2017 $15k seems expensive... now $30-$50k is the price.
