Because he wouldn't let him merge in.

No it's not, the guy in the right lane who isn't over taking is actually the one in the wrong

I was the one overtaking and was clearly past him when he decided to be a d!ck and accelerate to get in front of me. I could have continued to accelerat if I wanted to but chose to slow down to avoid an accident. If he wanted to merge he should have simply changed lanes behind me not hit 140+ and cross into an emergency lane just to be a hero.

It is also illegal to speed up to stop another vehicle from overtaking.

Thanks to the organisers for putting on a great event. Got lucky with the weather today. Here's an arty shot for now.

Alright, clearly some nerves are getting frayed here, which was NOT the reason this thread exists.

However, there is NO NEED for name-calling, and any further breaches will result in a ban.

The people behind SAU-NSW put these events on for the benefit of its members, and at the beginning of this (and every) cruise, we clearly state that any dangerous and/or idiotic behaviour will not be tolerated. Remember that this cruise was on public roads, and we are sharing those roads with other members of the public. You are OBLIGED to follow the road rules just like at any other time you are driving.

After that I was reallyglad to be in the first group that left the truck stop, these guys knew how to drive!

Overall a fantastic cruise.

I tried to set a good pace but given I had my 6 year old in the car I didn't want to put him at risk or break the speed limit to put my licence at risk, cause public road not race track

lol.

the 16km twisty section really is some of the best road in Australia, so when the coast was clear I snuck off a tad early... very enjoyable drive.

Xklaba, nah not you man - God_Speed was in another group.

This is why I don't cruise anymore.. Whinge Whinge bitch bitch. If someone is driving silly near you. Pull over for 30 seconds and get away.

Being right behind your buddy on a cruise is gay. Blocking is gay. Excessive speeding is gay.

It's a skyline cruise let the speedy ones in front to go off ahead and go your own pace.

Then approach the driver you had an issue with like an adult not jump down his throat or do it on the forums.

You are all grown men act like it

f**king BAU (babies Australia) this place is

      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.
