There's a reason I'm still driving a 25 year old Skyline and it's not because I can't afford newer

Starting to get more compliments from strangers these days, less disapproving looks like 7-8 years ago

Saw a R32 GTR the other day driving around, rare these days to see a GTR or even a GTST like you said

Sounded nice, that RB26 deep noise with pods blow off

The Pulsars are getting stolen and smashed/burned worse than the Skylines

Around Narre I've seen more Skylines than anywhere else so the deep south east and probably north/west still hanging onto them

Gone are the days of Knox carpark being full of them / people driving down mini chapel street

Ive only been there twice at night, and yes, lots of wankers.

 

Being from Rowville, im above such tomfoolery. We have a train station coming in a few years dontcha know. The rowville line.

Hopefully will give the drunks and druggos somewhere to go that isnt kmart and Gloria Jeans

 

 

I exclaimed to Leesh when I heard about that train line. She couldn't relate to the adolescent feels of train and bus when you grew up in or had friends living in Rowville

thats cute.

 

When I grew up in the country we didn't even have buses, we had to hop there as we could only afford one shoe, and it was uphill there and back again.

it snowed even in summer and we also had to pick a bushel of apples on the way to pay for the toll for the ferry over the river.

    • 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.
