Holy crap... just got back from the Classic Celica Cruise in Sydney. 11 of us driving, we get on the M5 and all get separated after a few take a wrong exit. I wasn't planning on getting separated... I had no ones phone numbers, my CB was out of range, i had no map, no GPS, i didnt even know what street I was on or where i was going... I was asking for directions from everyone I could but Sydney people are jerks, they helped but I would just end up more lost then before 2 hours later I stop at a BP to buy a map (It took me so long to find a petrol station i could actually get in to), turns out the BP is on the correct road and made it to the cruise and still managed to beat 3 of the other Canberra guys there.

Fun apart from that shitstorm, i was so close to giving up and driving home... I managed to pick up my PS3 and GTA IV aswell :) So now im going to take out my rage on a video game

also just got hamburgers and chips from the food van at woden... chatted to the guy and he owns a GTIR pulsar so I told him to go to the museum.... so... like... if some random pulsar guy turns up next friday...that's why :)

you were on the M5 but you got lost getting to canberra ??? :D

btw LOVE that yellow lambo!!!!

no, not that bad haha.

Was from Canberra heading to homebush stadium. They pulled off the M5 at the wrong exit but took the next on ramp which was no more then 200m down from the exit, i couldnt swerve back in time and got separated without any map, gps or phone to call anyone so naturally i drove around looking for a sign to Homebush and got completely lost.

Was a really nice place for a car meet up. Heres some pics i took

fun story from 1 hour ago.

Think i've already said it here but next week we leave the property and will be back living in Canberra so we have to get rid of all our paddock bashers. No drama, only 1 still ran so i got permission from my sister to absolutely destroy it before EZscrap comes. So alls going well, plowing through trees as usual when me and 2 friends (they came to take one of their paddock cars home, still regoed :down:, this was all a spur of the moment thing) decide to take the car off some sweet jumps. Things escalate until we get a fair amount of air and land what feels like nose first into the ground. Whiplash for all.

So its my turn again, i drive it through the forest area and decide to side swipe a tree, i get too close and get whipped (hard to describe, basically hitting too much on the left side caused me to sling shot further to the left) directly into a gigantic tree stump. One of my mates in the back seat had instant bruising across the stomach and i nearly face planted into the steering wheel. The damage was weird, radiator still mostly intact but everything underneath it was pushed back 50cm or so. Car still runs so we drove it back to its original parking spot.

My neck is killing unsurprisingly, can't wait till the morning to feel the real pain haha.

It was a good send off from farm life

Has anyone else been seeing flashes of light in the sky the past couple of days

Aren't they aeroplanes?

Anywho... I was in Sydney on Monday at a caryard and some guy walked in and was asking about importing the new r35 GTR or whatever its called.. he got quoted $165,000.00.. I thought it was more than that.

Has anyone else enquired about the 35? (or whatever its called)

nerm

Has anyone else been seeing flashes of light in the sky the past couple of days? or are the aliens just targeting me lo

While I haven't seen the lightning I've been watching over the last 2 days the clouds turn from fluffy clouds into big towering storm cells down here in Tuggers.

haha silly cars, thats what my dads new 50 year old wife calls them aswell, must be a generational thing :woot:

well since she's nowhere near my generation I wouldnt know!!! :)

actually I thought everyone called them silly cars ;)

Aren't they aeroplanes?

lol smartarse :D

While I haven't seen the lightning I've been watching over the last 2 days the clouds turn from fluffy clouds into big towering storm cells down here in Tuggers.

so we're getting a storm soon? apparently there was supposed to be hail in sydney tonight...

the light I saw was in Manuka and it was kind of like a red light camera flash but way higher up and bigger. I guess it could have been lightning. I thought there might have been something on somewhere.... was kind of weird..

$14500. I stupidly just accepted rather then ask for more but im happy with that.

21 year old guy new to Canberra, I'll tell him about the forums and see if he will join up so i can keep an eye on the my old car :cheers:

    • 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.
