It's so strange for me. Where I'm from every weekend a car club would cruise up the main street along a foreshore and park up near a light house. I'm talking imports to 1960 hotrods With blowers out of the bonnet and everything in-between and there's alot more cops down there.

Is everyone just paranoid around here or what cause I've never even been breath tested in 6 months since being here!

I think it's alot less sus driving slowly through a public place early Sunday Arvo and getting a feed, then meeting in some boring cold ass carpark at 10:00 on a Saturday night. Gotta remember we are still human beings and meeting up isnt illegal... I don't know what the difference is between you driving by yourself or with 15 people.

Newcastle people are paranoid for a good reason. When the local cops do a blitz, they are extremly thorough. And unfortunatly it's a small few that constantly attract police attention that brings on a bad name for the rest of us (same story as everywhere..).

But i agree a mid-day social meet is alot more sensible.

Was the 32 for sale?

Spotted a yellow 34 southbound on the F3 this arvo

Guessing it was yours as can't be to many around

Can't remember if the 32 was for sale or not.,,

Nah wouldn't have been me on the f3.. Haven't driven the car all week.. Was it a yellow gtr? Don't know of many others?.,,

theres a 34 gtt that i see on the f3 with a kit on it he lives on the coast

theres a 34 gtt that i see on the f3 with a kit on it he lives on the coast

Probably that one then

Didn't have time to see if it was a GTR or not as I was travelling northbound

Also spotted a dark blue 33 this morning southbound just out of Muswellbrook and a black 33? With white front bar yesterday near Terrigal

Would be happy for a meet in newcastle, maybe even monthly/ ever 2 month meets or something if there is enough interest?...

to many coppers in newy and they hate jdm cars that may be why theres not much interest,id be keen to join this cruise but probly wouldnt recommed cruising into town though cause the boys in blue would love that.just a thought to keep everyone clear from any trouble

We used to meet up EVERY sunday, thats how i met all of the HT.net boys, they seemed to be the only local guys around that i could find at the time.... Now being on SAU for ages i have noticed a bigger presence of Newy cars BUT majority do avoid Newcastle due to Defect/EPA blitzes they have done... When we would park out at Newy on the foreshore we would have around 10-12 nice imports with Silvias/Skylines and we would check a frisbee/footy or whatever... It was the young dickheads in commodores coming out and doing 1st gear single legger lauches and burnouts which not only ruined the scene but aggrovated the cops, so we ceased our weekly ritual... Its been years!!

Now that my car will be complete very soon i plan to re-establish the weekly/fortnightly cruise and meet-up just with a few mates (once again Silvias/Skylines and now Evos too) BUT to avoid any drama i want to do it on the other side of the water at Stockton as its a nice area to drive through and its basically the same scenery.... So if you guys are interested in doing the same let me know.... Probably not in this thread but either PM or i can start a thread in events (I assume that is the right place)...

Less negative attention if we do the right thing and a good chance to meet new people :)

I like it

Spotted a maroon 33 with carbon bonett (I think) near the shell at Erina then saw a white 34? I think it was at Gateshead this arvo. Took off from the lights nice and slow, if was down a gear in the truck I would have passed them

Then spotted a white 33 on green Ps waiting at the lights to turn onto Lake road late this arvo

Spotting quite a lot of 32's and 33's around the Raymond Terrorist area lately..... Possibly because my car will be ready soon and i am actually looking......

White 33 at R/T pub last night, looked and sounded OK

Silver 32 with purple wheels :unsure:

South as in down the back end of Vincent St sorta way? (haven't been here for too long!)

Yeah basicaly from aberdare RD back towards Kitchener Way till the train Line :P what about your self

    • 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.
