The biggest issues with perth is its speed limits and people being stingey. People pay as little as possible for tyres, corse ur 20 dollar plastic tyres arnt gonna grip the road and not enspire confidence. How are you supost to drive if u cant feel what the cars doing??? Specialy in the wet.... and the speed limits, iv never understood why ud make giant v8s and have such slow limits. At 100kmh my concentration level is minimal as which i think most peoples is too. Lots of unconcentrated frustrated people makes for dangerous roads.


Where do I get these $20 tires? [emoji12]

Hey folks - unfortunately I need to sell off my Skyline!

Does anyone happen to know anybody who might be chasing a manual V36?  I have a good'un.  I thought here might be a good place to ask!  If you guys know anyone or have any tips, let me know. 

As always - much appreciated!

Sup travis pastrana?

Making the most of the wet weather on the bike?

 

LOL no. Sad news is after 5 years of manual labour, I have fkd my spine again (3rd times the charm - looking at fusion this time) So the bike isnt seeing much use.

Actually looking into stripping the old girl down and rebuilding it as a retro street scrambler. Think old steel fuel tank, flat tracker eat and low riding guards front and back

*rummage*

ALso, as fellow wagon aficionados, Y'all might want to take a squizz at this years pebble beach concours. 

Apart from Aston Martin FINALLY releasing more details about the upcoming vanquish shooting brake. V12 2 door wagon out of the box with almost 600hp? Anyone in the market for a kidney or 2?

If you wanted it to be a race car you could buy it back and tube frame the front end.

    • 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.
