Forgive my ignorance but how is drink driving whilst doing 200 clicks cool?

in south africa things are different to here,

i doubt he was drunk tho, 6 was just a dramtic exageration, maybe 1 or 2 is more like it.

but 200 is seen on most guys clocks almost everyday, even delivery trucks do 180+

Australia's traffic moves so slow, I remember on a holiday to Japan myself and 2 friends all crammed into a 300ZX at about 7pm to see the sites. On the highway we were doing around 180-200km/h and cars on the right lane were flying past us going at least 280-300km/h it was crazy.

i never saw this when i was in japan.... only happens very late at night.

yes australias tarffic is very slow compared ot teh rets of the world, but there rd deaths are the lowest in the world

in south africa 500+ ppl die on the roads over the 2 week easter period

It was 12 here in Australia this year... Are the laws ever likely to change to reduce the road toll Neil?

Well firstly WOW dem south africans are, well interesting, foolhardy maybe the right choice of words, YES WOW it is AMAZING you got that little beast of yours up to that speed, I cant say the same thing about my car, but you have to understand drink driving is considered a very big no no here in AU, and a lot of people do not like to endorse it, I am one of them, but it is all about culture, SA have a different culture, not that we should persecute this young guy for wanting to show off, just kindly inform him that us Aussies do not like endorsing that kind of behaviour, simple!

OMG :thumbsup:

simple answer

Never, Not a chance, NO

there is so much corruption there that u can buy your way out of anything,

you can buy passports, Id books even drivers licenses,

unroadworthy cars can buy roadworthy certificates without the road worthy place even seeing the car.

the new governament has no control over anything,

ppl will do anything for money

everybody and everything has a price

carte blanche (a magazine tv program) took a scrap, smashed fu(ked car, that had to be put on a trailer, no engine no wheels nothign just a shell and they got a road worthy certificate for it.

the country is heading to be like zimbabwe

thats why south africans who can afford to leave the country come to places like australia

:thumbsup:

I've seen Barina's (in front of me) shake as a truck zooms past them on the highway

No offense Eug, but you obviously have not seen Neil's old Barina, I reckon you or I would be hard pressed keeping up with it, until we hit a long straight :)

    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
