coparts - I'm assuming the second meeting point (for the westsiders) is the car park at Yarra Junction Reserve??? and what would be the best time to meet (best case senario according to Google Maps is around 12ish)..

Is anyone bring Walkie Talkies??

Sorry to throw some rocks on your road...but are you sure about the route?was checking it through Google (long story short ,the miss has problems with mountain roads so I checked first...)in your second map you are following the yarra river course ...don't know just asking,Thanks.

11.30 / 12.00 sounds good to me ,area no 2 as mentioned is approx 800 meters through Yarra Junction on your left (it is the old highway before the realignment ) and yes most of the route follows the river and winds up through the hills to the Dam, bitumen road is good as we traversed it in the opposite direction the last cruise

What time do you guys anticipate arrival and departure of second meet point? I'm hoping to join you guys there. Actually thinking of selling my V36 Coupe and buying a Stagea!

Chris

I might meet you guys at Lilydale.

Anyone else from the North/North East want to meet me somewhere then hook up with the main bunch @ Lilydale?

Well, my Mrs has just informed me that she won't be out that long in the morning and she's booked us in to look at a couple of cars for her early Sat morning so I'll probably lob at the meet point and shuffle off with everyone but at some stage zig when you guys zag and head home.

So, who's heading to Monash from the north/north east?

well you can meet up with me at maccas bell street if you want

It's a bit of a shizen place to get to, but it'll be early on Saturday so traffic should be pretty light.

I'll meet you there at 9am.

    • 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.
