I did Sydney -> Adelaide (lunch stop) -> Perth in 27 hours..got delayed for 6 hours on the Nullabor waiting for petrol station to open!

That was in a beat up Tarago..wonder how quickly you could do it in a 'line?

PS - Nullarbor has the longest straight stretch of road in Australia, around 180km.. :rant:

I'm NSW born and breed but Sydney sucks! May I'm saying that cause 2 of my cars were broken into within a short space of time but I've had enough of the city. I'm looking to move out of the city.

Melbourne has a certain charm to it but I can't bare the winter there. QLD is fun but maybe that's cause I've only been there a few times and there is so much more to explore.

Next place to explore is Adelaide. I'm going to get tanked up down there on nothing but red wine.

Queensland rocks my jocks like a hot blond on a summer day...

Maybe cecuase I've had soooo mcuyh fun up there than any other place (cept maybe Great keppel Island) every time I go there... its like topical, sunny most of the time, easy goin people, on average most of the owmen are better lookin than melb or syd, and have the best mix of cultures... all the ones I love anyways :D

Well after a few months in Melb, have to say for the likes of me, Sydney is by far the better city. If your into coffee/cafes/art then you may prefer Melb, but i miss the weekends on the harbour on my brothers boat having a schooner. :D

And the Waratahs...well i cant thinko fany excuses for their pi55 poor form, other then why would you go to training when there are so many other better things to do in Sydney, notice how its the Brumbies that are winning the Super 12s, repeat Canberra !... get the drift :)

Yeah, lived there for 4 years. Lucky I was at Uni or I would have had stuff all to do.

Hated living in Sydney. Darwin was nice lotsa beer drinking and Backpacker (grab a Helga). Townsville is alright but small. Melb is just miserable, nuff said. Adelaide shuts at 8 pm weeknights unless you go to Crazy Horse. Perth you always end up with sand in your Latte.

My heaven will be in Bris within earshot of Lakeside when they reopen it and staggering distance from a pub (make that uni pub) with a good pool table and 24 hour rugby on a giant plasma tv.

i got my lil retreat in Koolangatta at my unlces beach house... I go up there to unwind n shit...

go up to surfer's and party away, pass out on the beach then catch the next bus back to koolangatta in the morning...

I stayed up on my uncles apartment on the GoldCoast. Man how things are so relaxed there. The peesp are all so relaxed and fwendly where as in sydney everybody is so busy busy. Also forgot to lock my hertz car up for like 5hours and came back with it still untouched. Give it the same time in sydney and your car would have been broken into, stripped and bonfired. :wassup:

Still i wouldnt live anywhere else.

cef.

Don't forget the Summernats, only been twice and im hooked. I think it has something to do with out of control v8's doing monster burnouts from about thursday afternoon through until Sunday afternoon *droooool*

Hey, no baggin Canberra. We've got porn and fireworks and.....well that's about all.

I wont knock Canberra, two of my best mates worked their for 18 months, and some of my best ever nights out where in Canberra.... you can get away with murder and no lining up to get into places... :D

If im going to dream of living anywhere, it has to be Biarritz.. i so desperateley want to go back :)

that's the other thing that shits me up the wall and then some about Sydney... the c0cky f**ks that run nightclubs and the fact that you have to wait HOURS regardless of if you have women with you or not. What's with that? Its changed progressively these days where it just ain't fun to go to commercial clubs these days... better goin to underground ones, low key bars and pubs. Never had that sort of thing in any of the other states i've visited

I have to say my fav spot in Oz is Cairns. Try and get up there once a year. Got some great roads up there that I'd love to tackle in something more powerfull than the Metz I usually rent! lol.

And the nights are full of generally hot locals to try your luck on and ****ty English Backpackers as a fail safe to fall back on if things aren't going well!

And Roy we'll change your mind on Melbourne when we get you onto Sandown and Phillip Island.

    • 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.
