haha, well i trust SAU members not to be stupid on the cruise, even if they arent entered. I dont think non entrants will be allowed in the gates, cos it says on my form i have to display both stickers etc, but anyone is more than welcome to join in i guess, they just have to behave :D

Cant wait, should be a good turn out! Anyone else want details just let me know

I lived in the Unley area, and was on greenhill rd. yesterday about 7ish, and it was quite the sight as all the people going to that cruise drove along Grenhill Rd. towards the hills.

Lots of cars revving their engines hard, to make themselves noticed among the big crowd, even a few 'involuntary wheelspins' were heard and seen by the many unexpected pedestrians. :happy:

I wonder how the cruise went in the end, and it there was some issues with the boys in blue, (defect stations and the like)

because Sporting Car Club of SA is a proper club and this is a paid for event they have to submit the route to the police and in turn enter a gentleman's agreement that if we behave then there is not trouble

unfortunately SAU went down just as flick sent me the PM so i didnt know the start point but funnily enough i stumbled across the tail end of the cruise coming back from work. so i followed on, was pretty well behaved on the streets, had a nice run up windy's until i realised i had to slow down and pull over to get back behind them at the top as i didnt know the route :happy:

pretty typical route, was hoping for some more spirited hillsy roads but overall pretty good.

      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.
