Hey all,

I just got back from 2 weeks in Townsville. Damn good vacation.

Only saw about 5 Skylines up there which was a bit of a downer.

If that was anyone here I just wanted to say "hi". All the Liners I saw were mad. Especially a reddish one which cruised past the Exchange Hotel last Saturday nite, that was one bad arse wing.

Oh and the silver R32 GT-R was was damn nice

Cheers guys.

i used to live in mount isa, and you wont see one out there.

someone got a silvia and everyone was WTF is that! (it had vielside bodykit on it)

the only downside is that you cant drive outta town and in town its shit also. tahts why i couldn't have a sports car there.

townsville is ok, but the strand is a big place to get your car keyed or damaged in some way, too many chicks with excels and XF falcons and they dont know how to drive. I seen 4 acciedents one night with people reversing into people or someone cutting into the wrong lane.

just move to brisbane :D

Yeah, I used to live in Townsville.

Now in Brissy.

I have driven the line up and back once.

Not a pleasant drive.

Yeah the strand is like 1/100th as good as BWCP.

WRXcels everywhere, with badboy/badbitch or No Fear stickers on them.

I only saw a coupla lines when I went up.

    • 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.
