well, if you know surfers at all on the gold coast h'way where Q1 is, was at those lights. when they turned green i took off and was looking over shoulder to merge into right lane then my mate says watch out for the bus. when i saw it, only a bit of the front was out, there is a give way sign there but it didn't exist for him, went straight through it, didnt slow down or swerve, nothing. slammed brakes, which locked up? when i hit it, it took up all 3 lanes of the h'way and i hit at the rear wheel and swerved s'wheel to left so i hit more my side than my mate's, he got a bruised wrist. on impact it there where flames in the e'bay and he got out but my left foot was trapped from the foot parkbrake pedal at the shin which wrapped around my foot. while those flames were getting a little bigger, abt 20 ppl where trying to break the driver door and electric seats to get me out then this guy comes out of nowhere with an extinguisher and puts the fire out. fire crews used jaws and lifts to break the door and bend off the pedal. good thing its a wagon coz ambos pulled me out from the luggage area. also lucky the sunroof was open coz i was pushed up and a bit of my head was pokin out the top.

witht the impact the stagea did well to protect us as you can see from the crumples and that the dash was still intact, as well as the windscreen not shattering. got a few cuts from flying glass on fingers and forehead, deep lacerations on left shin, stitches off in 3 days, left foot broken bone, right hip, leg and groin sprained badly and still sore to walk on, right ankle torn ligaments, right shoulder torn muscle and no more stagea!!!!

unbelievable, why did this happen to me, you know it's one of those things that happens to other people that you hear about and think "shit man, hope that never happens to me", but it does. morale is expect that unexpected moment of stupidity that those fare prostitutes have when they're in front or beside you, stay away from buses on the road in the gold coast and you'll be safe.

thank you for the good wishes, it's greatly appreciated and helps to know others care and keep safe all you lucky ppl out there who are privalleged enough to still have the ability to bring your pride and joy to life at the flick of a switch, while mine lays dead like a tortured cattle carcass in a corner!

      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.
