We were asked/ordered by SAPOL to take down the thread about the cruise, the subsequent thread and all references to the event. Even they don't like how the news/ACA grab hold of these things and publicize the hell out of them - it actually makes more work for them. Various media outlets were hounding them daily for more details, and they were browsing SAU constantly for info. Best solution for all import owners is not give them any ammo.

and on the note of ammo, I just deleted 2 stupid posts from the "Spotted Thread"

why give even an inch to the law makers and media when we're trying so hard to keep up appearances (so to speak)

An off the cuff post (that may seem innocent) can have long term efects as to how all of your rides are viewed by Sapol & the media

If you have 1/2 a brain in your heads, engage it before posting :wacko:

Figured as much. Probably wasn't the smartest thing to post on Youtube. We had an event in WA on Sunday called 'Rising Sunday' - similar to All Japan Day. WAPOL camped out near the exit and defected around 20 cars..... things aren't much different over here to SA!!

Skip to 55 secs for the 'Hoon Report'!

dont you guys realise that no matter how you play this. which high road you take.. that the cops and not to mention the pollies and poweres to be have already mapped out how its going to play out.

they are talking about putting in a recommendation to the magistrae that the cars be forfieted.. all because of some public f**king image.

i dont care what opinion you all take on the guys that did the tunnel runs but this is just a f**king bullshit abuse of power/governmant.

thats my rant for the night.

so by your definition Simon, doing the opposite (ie run a muck on the roads and put all sorts of shit on Youtube) wouldn't make any difference then

We all need to be wary of what ammo we give Sapol & the Media.......to say it won't make any difference is not realistic unfortunately

      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

      300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
