OMG! How awesome was the food... I loved it!!!

And I do have to say a HUGE thankyou to Kat for helping me out. While I started organising this dinner, Kat did so much work for me behind the scenes, checking restaurant availability, booking it.

And a thanks to everyone who turned up, I know I had a good dinner!

Me -> cheers.gif <- Everyone else

I wanted to talk in the events section but it looks like someone's locking down the threads. I was reading fresh comments, then they all disappeared as I went to reply unsure.gif

It was a good meet everyone, and the track day on Saturday was also awesome, and I think I am severely addicted now. So many new faces, if I start shouting out names I'm sure I'll leave someone out. So I'll just thank Eric and Kat for repeatedly boosting my car!!!!

So get this guys: when I didn't take the turn off towards Sydney, and accidentally followed Kat we pulled over and then my car died again just as I was going to turn around pinch.gif Kat, AKA basically working for NRMA now, heads off the source some jumper leads. An Irishman pulls over and he starts looking over the engine bay. I ask him if he's got cables, but he doesn't. Now, the bracket for the negative terminal is totally stuffed, so I assumed this was the problem, or some electronics inside the car grounding out. This guy freaking wiggles the positive lead and the car jumps back to life! Full battery, ready to start. That little red box on the positive terminal (contains a fuse, I guess?) was loose. FML! I was sitting there for a long time trying to roll start the poor thing. All is well now! Thanks everyone for a great weekend.

/End of novel.

LOL, I've done that before - changed my battery in the car and still had issues, so me and my old man ran a second cable for the negative terminal, and the problem wasn't solved... Turned out the positive terminal was not getting enough contact. >_<:rolleyes:

Damn you and your hot Canadian female friends! :(

      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.
