yo guys.

its 12:30am (just got back from a wedding) and im pumped for this morning... i hope someone has a size 17 socket so as i can take my wheels off, otherwise i'll be using some very ordinary brake pads!

as duncan repeated, meeting point will be BP/Hungry Jacks on King Georges Rd, Lakemba at 7am- allbeit i feel as though this post is too late...should be on the track by 10am.

i know of 3 other cars making it down. unsure of who else...

Great day at the track yesterday. Woulda been better if their were no bikes or v8 auscars but oh well you get that on an open day I guess.

Highlights of the day for me were:

* Stock Camry with the *beep beep* down the main straight

* White R33 GTR who couldn't help going sideways (smoke or no smoke)

* Franks R34 GTT screeeeeeaming past heading for turn 1

* Franks forgetting the directions back to the Hwy :D

Looks like an interesting track, can't wait to get out there (hopefully on an SAU Private day)

    • 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.
