Went for a cruise last night through and around the city, seriously its a ghost town out there. - some cars are out and about taking advantage of the empty streets. 

Wondering if there are still any Brisbane meets happening or week night cruises ?? 

Its been a while since I have been in SAU scene, feel free to delete or link me to a more relevant thread if there is one. 

Here is a pic of my child that takes way to much of my money. :P

I don't give a shit about myself catching COVID-19 or almost anyone else I know, because I know it's basically just a cold and except for my oldies, no-one is likely to even get sick enough to go to h

You need to take this seriously mate. Trump didn't and as a result a quarter of a million or more Americans could die. There are going to be long term consequences of this pandemic and in the modern connected world it will have to be defeated in every country before  we can expect anything resembling normalcy.

250k is conservative. 8% of the country getting infected is super, super unlikely considering how lax the measures were. Florida didn't shut down the beaches and the net effect is that they helped seed the disease across the entire country:

I was actually in the city today!! Unfortunately couldn't organise meet as I was there for work, but thought this sign kind of paints a different meaning in these current times... Still plenty of cars on the road due to construction and trades still in full swing.

I think most of us have UHF Radio's  (we don't even need to get out of the car)  & as by 'meet' I am meaning just doing some happy laps since the streets are so empty.  

It's not illegal to go for a drive, is it? I went for a drive last night & there were quite a few nice cars just lapping around. 

GTofuS-T - Engine has been changed quite a bit since that photo & yeh it did actually let through some sand from a road work site and screwed by turbo.... but that's a whole other turbo. 

& yeh thatt keep left sign.... righhhhttt.. ?

 

Any way was just a thought to get some socialising in while keeping our distance. 

 

Be safe peeps.

that's debatable, QPol does seem to have gone full retard on this one, i'd be keen though but based on the GC so a bit far for a cruise

Yeah, not sure what's happening in their heads.

Had a few people at work say they have been pulled over and asked where they are going. 

Wherever the f**k I want. Quite a lot of things are still legal to do, and just going for a drive is not harming anybody. If anything, being pulled over has been the only risky thing so far. 

Going to take the motorbike bike for a slow spin up cootha, just to get the fluids in there moving and charge the battery. 

Will see how I go

Good luck with that. Certainly doesn't meet the reasons to be out of your home. It's only a 1500 ish fine...

absolutely this! I saw 2 guys getting fined the other day for sitting on a bench after getting out of the surf... ironically there were 3 cops together to do that important civic duty.

Going home from getting petrol? Just went to the bakery to get breakfast? It doesn't say I need to take a direct route home. 

People are allowed to go out and get hair cuts....

Like I  said, good luck with it. I would imagine if you tried the "doesnt say i need to take a direct route home" you will get a fine.

but hey, you do you.

what would they fine me for....?

There is even a statement from the Minister for Health and Ambulance services stating that motorcycle riding is a form of exercise.

But hey, I will do my research and what I am legally entitled to do, and you can continue to offer misinformed advice, and you do you.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...

      Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.

      Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
