Good idea thanks.

I'm 7km from city and was thinking how else to commute. $140/month Myki for a short trip isn't great value, neither is parking in city.

 

Or maybe I join the vwl bandwagon and get a motorbike emoji55.png

Yeah get an Ebike, theres heaps out there pretty sure my mate can hit nearly 100km/h on his too if you want to! 

Would pay itself off in a year or so.

I have the  chrome version of that nismo one, and exact same thing, chrome wearing off to a cheap red thing below it.

got that nismo logo burnt in hand a few times in summer as well.

 

But is very well weighted and comfortable

Electric scooter ftw
They weigh about 8kg folded and 25km/h / 25km range out of the battery
We have one in the office we use to piss off th OH&S guys


That's pretty decent given how small it is.

Is it similarly sized to fold up scooters that used to be all the rage back in early noughties?

Yeah mine must have been the chrome

I wouldn't have knowingly bought a fake, most likely it was just not built for Australian summers

yeah I got mine from a nismo authorized re seller same time as the engine mounts and gearbox mount, so pretty sure it real and same senario

Black paint might hold better

I didn't think you were the type peruse SE Asian markets for Gucci knockoffs

Same issue here with the Nismo knob. Bought from Nengun from memory.

Maybe Birds' one is the fake lol

That awkward moment when Nismo gear is cost-cut outsourced trash and the copies are better

Can get them on eBay for $500-800 depending on battery size / motor.

Little bigger than them, with bigger / all terrain wheels. But still very compact.

140 a month would be a prepaid 30 day wouldn't it? So you can use it how ever many times you want? But if you were to just top it up to the same amount and make use of it only on work days solely in zone 1 you would save money I would have thought? Unless you live in zone 2?
 
$7 a day buying the monthly top up would still be half of what parking must cost at a minimum?

Cheaper to prepay @ $140/month
Parking around docklands is $20/day

Don't know these city feels

Even with monash roadwork bullshit I'm home to my hoon-ridden street in 20 max. Think I could clock 15 mins once it's done.

    • 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.
