Hi, i just got in Perth for about 2 weeks now. I bought my skyline three days ago. Im wondering. Is there a safe place to speed my car in a safe and legal place around here? I wanna feel its potential but im a bit worried with the laws here because it seems strict round here.

Some help would be nice, thanks in advance.

true that

watch out for the freeways, especially when the bus lanes meet cos my mate got done there, was ripping it and the cop was hiding behind those barricades that separate the bus lane from the actual freeway... think it was near the mt henry bridge or something... cheeky buggers...

Believe me mate the laws over here arent as strict as say they are over east. Find a nice car cruise to go on and hammer down the freeway with 40 other cars doing the same speed as you want to go. Either that or go on the freeway or highways around Perth at about 3am in the morning and there will be basically no one around. If you don't like taking risks there always the option of drag racing at kwinana which I believe has now been moved to Sunday racing

I didnt actually think there was anyone thick enough to make a comment like this

ah well, live and learn.

runn3r, keep it on the track or strip, you wont have to worry about loosing your car, your life or killing anyone else. The plex, ahg or wanneroo.

If you go to a track, its a safe environment where you dont have to worry (as much) about the many, many variables that can ruin your day/week/month/year/life.

Hehe, well, i dont know much about Perth and thats why i thought it would be a good idea to ask the people around! Neway, thanks for all the good advice. Really appreciate them. Problem was that back in my country, i usually drive my car at around 140km/h and the car i was driving was not even a sports car. I have a few friends who drives an RX7 and Evo4s and people there find it very normal but yeah, right now, im in Perth, and i dont wanna break the law because from what i heard, there are plenty of hidden cams around here.

Was hoping maybe i could test drive out my new toy and yeah, do it for free and legally without hurting other people. I heard that there is this are where people meet up nearby the desert and test out their cars? Is that true?

East Malaysia. Only problem was that cars are very expensive compare to Australia (Meaning that the price of cars here is 3x more expensive than the original price here, 2nd road condition isnt that good in some areas not unless you race on the highway during weekends.

I wonder if there is such place in this are.

there is a place, its called the Northern Territory, abbreviated to NT - and alot of it is desert.  Its not in this state, they (NT) have no speed limits on some roads.

In WA - to be legal (and safe) keep it on a track, sorry to bring the bad news :)

How far is NT really? Im very new here. Just lived here bout 3weeks.

    • 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.
