Couldn't agree more, and frankly, here lies the exact reason why many old school members no longer attend.

If a bunch of you want to get smashed every month and take pics of each other to post on the internet, then how about organising your own seperate monthly pissup rather than taking over and destroying the SAU northside dinner tradition.

That's basically what I think in a nutshell.

Why are the dinners all about the drinking these days... got better things to do then babysit someone who is vomiting on their shoes again like last SAU event i went to.

News flash not everyone wants to get drunk every SAU dinner and if they were at resteraunts like they originally were then people would have a choice. Having a nice night out with some people with mutual interests or getting smashed with a bunch of random strangers from the internet.

On another topic the great northern is great venue for the FOOD :blink:

Hey I really like the Great Northern for food.. :huh:

They have really nice sundried tomarto pasta :P

maybe we can please all punters and make these events the "monthly pissup"

and then we can go back to having the SAU dinners of old where the goal was to try a variety of different restaurants, a variety of different types of cuisine and to enjoy a few beverages and talk about cars?

I guess I've left the last two early enough not to see them as piss ups. I do think the last two venues were a bit lighter on food than drink but they also let you move around a bit versus a strict sit down facility.

>_<

I've never drunk at a monthly dinner to get drunk, and the car conversation is always happening.

That isolated incident that you guys are talking about was a once-off and it seems to have clouded your perception of the subsequent events.

In my experience it's mostly been what you described it to be.

Some people do go out there and have a few drinks, but it's hardly amongst "strangers from teh interwebs". We know most of the people that come to these personally (and welcome any newbies) and if you guys gave it another chance instead of getting scared off by one incident, you might too.

Anyway, i'll be there, wherever it is.

the man has a valid point.

Can I point out that that last event you went to was actually a dinner that Nick organised......and you cant control peeps that have to much to drink :/ .Then the second was the japanese and then you guys didnt come again :(

The dinners I organise are not all about getting smashed..... just most liked Pub food and a few drinks with there meal....I did try and suggest a restuarant on numerous times but the majority always seemed to prefer pubs...which isnt a bad thing (they do have a great and relaxed atmosphere).There is nothing wrong with pictures??? All it shows is that we are having a good time and makes more people want to come cause they see what fun we have!!!!

You guy have never come to a dinner that I have organised which is a shame cause they are always great fun and every one has a good time...

But this will be the last dinner I organise and im sure some will be happy about this but I think its a bit hard to have 2 dinners every month .. :thumbsup:

I know I had a good time organising them and hope to do it again some day.. :happy:

      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.
