lately ok....

Around the good old streets of melbourne i've been seeing a LOT... now i mean HEAPS of dead stock R32's (right down to the exhaust) floating around and middle-older aged men driving them.

Now... they are all either grey or black and is worrying me a little bit...

Only because the R32 seems to be turning into what the celica's of the late 80's turned into a few years back where every middle aged bloke with a mid-life crisis is driving them because they are cheap enough for these cheap pip daddy's to afford, and go alright...

And what's worse is they thinkg they are the ant's pants and try and hoon from the lights!

just thought i'd comment on that and see if anyone else is noticing this lately?

never seen an old guy driving one.. 95% are driving stockies driven by p-platers if u ask me

maybe they've gotten wise after getting the doors of their new SS being ripped off by these young guys in skylines :D either that or it fell apart and they can't afford to replace it.. lol

I'm getting sick of all the 33's on the road......

We rarely see 32's over this side of town.

I can still remember back in the olden days (about 4 years ago) when you could see a 33 and get excited about it....

now its just "*meh*"

Noticing a lot of 34's around here now, see at least one every day.

Todays one was white with a big T wing.

well damn i have had my r32 for i dunno about a month now, and i have seen 2 r32s since i have had it!!!! i think i fanything they are rarer than 33's in melb.. but i just can't believe i havn't seen any lately? weird shit lol

wait for them next year.. all those new 89 cars on the road there is going to be an explosion of 32's.. esp amongst P-platers. Worries me a bit actually.

Will put R32's into the class as S13's :rofl: which i know all you R32 boyz will luv

To me the excitement of a R33 isn't in looking at it, but driving it.. so to me i couldn't give a crap whether anybody called it "common".

In fact i couldn't give a shit what a car looks like there is many of any car on the road (except maybe Ferraris and those super cars) Even GTR i see a bit around enough to go...hmmm, GTR, yeah, seen lots of them.

In order i would rank (most seen to rarely scene) or at least around my area and city:

->R33 series 1 (F!@#en heaps of em)

->R32 stockies (most of em thinking they are GTR's)

->R34 begginging to c heaps of em. heaps...especially after 2f2f

->R33 GTR (aaaawwww goshhhila)

->R32 GTR

->R33 Series 2

->R31

not being biased in anyway cause i have r33 s2. but seriously i have seen more r34 and r32 gtr 's over r33 s2 on my side of town.

and i would even toss up between R34 and R33 GTR (ranking wise)...lately i have seen a fair few r33 GTR's. goshhhila.

but lets not get into this conversation involving other turbo performance vehicles. ie: s13, 14 15, rexies, 200sx, 300 zx etc.. etc... we will be here forever. as long as i dont have a rexy as being the most common turbo car on the street ill b happy. not dissing them but every every tom dick and harry has em. Including 80 yr olds! lol.

R33's are becoming very common in Melbourne, especially in the west side. As Champinco mentioned, R34's are coming in as well, but surely , they aren't more common than R33 GTR's.

Lets not forget the GTSTS with GTR kits and badges. BTW, whats wrong with P-Platers owning Skylines?

      This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.

      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
