Tblisi, Georgia.

It's funny that we're comparing our roads to that of a 3rd world nation. Not

a huge difference really.

Geez,

Next stupid Qs (by me)...

What side of the road do they drive on? Any probs with a RH-drive if driving on the RHS?

I hear the Ministry of Road Bldg in Tblisi is something to be believed!

you cannot compare australian roads to the roads here. You aussies have no idea how good you got it back home.. i cannot wait to get back home!

Everything in Australia is perfect and organised. Including the roads. That today tonight thing, man they broke cheap rims made in china. thats even happened to me before.

We drive on right hand side of the road and there is no restrictions on driving right or left hand drive cars so whatever goes.. its just a little hard when trying to overtake and when merging onto different roads but my driving skills are sooo much better then everyone here its pretty easy to get used to.

When i mean bad drivers, they do not even look when they change lanes. they just pull out next to you and you must move over, if there is no room to move over you have 3 choices.

1: hit him

2: hit whatever it is on the side of the road, (tree car or person)

3: hit the skids and hope for the best and beep horn at him.

Usually you can beep your horn as you see him merging over and he will look then swerve back into his lane, that system actually works. (option 3)

Has taken me quite some time to get used to driving like they do, i feel really bad everytime i cut someone off, but it comes in handy when your in a hurry.

even if there is a car comming down the road at 100, you can pull out infront of them and its just normal driving here! its just amazing.

I swear, 10 NSW high way patrol units enforcing aussie law in this country with aussie sized $ fines would fix this problem QUICK smart.

Hate to say this, but NSW police are champions and they do their job for a reason. If they did not do their job the place would end up like this country and really its not safe.

actually its very very hard. I need to change my licence...

I have been trying to learn and take the english translated test. Impossible. The questions are pretty much riddles with incorrect questions and answers.

There was one question asking to choose multiple choice between 1 and 2, i selected 2 but it said I selected wrong answer... answer was actually 3... but there was no mention of 3 anywhere on the screen!

Here are some pics..

This one is the one that said answer was 3 when there was no 3 options you can see the Georgian language up the top it says "incorrect answer, the right answer is 3"

Itook this test 50 times and failed every time. The questions are just incomplete puzzles and i figured there is no point to do the test.

The biggest problem is because this is corrupt country, everyone got their drivers licence by walking into the police department and ofering $50 which pretty much got you your full licence on the spot. Parents wold go in there and get drivers licences for their kids 14 years old because they got a car for 13th 14th birthday and the drivers licence comes with the car so the can drive it.

It has changed now and its harder to get drivers licence but the drivers on the road are driving in a manner of danger every time they start their cars,

the horn here is used more then the brakes. for me it sounds like "beep beep beeeeeppppp" = "i am a idiot"

beeping the horn does nothing but make noise. but its used toooo much

i actually went for 1 year before installing a horn in my car

Time to stick on a KLAXON! :/

At least it sounds different > people take notice.

It's a bit like a mother screaming at the kids all the time > they take no notice.

Once she changes to saying very little and means what she says, the little brats behave... LOL

      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
