I HATE this too, and also those clowns that wait right up until their lane closes before they merge. Screw them, if I have enough courtesy to prepare myself to change lanes from 100m before it closes, what do they think makes them so f'king special? AggroDave and I were talking about this today from when I continually held off some clown on the M4 who thought he'd be able to merge in front of me, then got the shits when I wouldn't let him in.

People who don't know how to use a roundabout.

Awesome work Brad, good to see this is coming along nicely!

Ahh okay. RB-power = C34 chassis VQ-power = M35 chassis.

If that Stagea was a NM35, it was probably Craig aka "Debarkle." Post it in the Stagea spotted section, and you'll know for sure: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/53437-spot-the-stagea/

OK, who owns this?

The studs break due to the constant heat cycling, as Dale said, and then fairly often the exhaust manifold itself will warp and crack because it's not secured properly and goes through that same constant heat cycling process. My car is being worked on right now, and I knew there were broken studs, but it turns out that the manifold was cracked too, which you usually only find out about when you have to remove it , like you'll have to do, unfortunately... You've gotta remember that the C34 is, at a minimum, 13 years old now.

Saw this car again yesterday, I think it's just a non-turbo GT, not a GTt. Young dude driving it.

Ah-ha, yeh that was me Dave.

Spotted a silver M35 AXIS on Station Rd in Toongabbie around midday today going past my street, then spotted a black s2 C34 with a body kit and trade plates on Parramatta Rd near Suttons Holden in Homebush around 3pm.

That's most likely sh@un, he's an old-school member but hardly ever posts anymore.

Alright, my car is currently off being worked on, so if any of you Sydney folks see a light blue new Golf or a black Audi A4 Avant wagon give you a flash of the headlights, it's most likely me... Oh yeah: - DSG gearbox in the Golf = f'king awesome for an "auto" - CVT gearbox (which doesn't actually have proper gears) in the Audi = absolute shit. Don't EVER get trapped into buying a car with a CVT. Unfortunately I couldn't convince my old man to stump up a few more grand to go with a quattro with DSG.

Oh Scott, I spoke to Liz the other day, and she's probably not going to be able to make it to WTAC due to work, but I'll bug her to come along to one of the after-parties or something if she's not off interstate or whatever...

OMG, you're still alive? How are you dude?

Everyone will be different, not much point in comparing premiums from what I've heard from people in the industry (who are active here on SAU, too). Age of car, condition of the car, features and mods, location, driving history and driver's age, and usage all play factors in quoting premiums, so no two situations will ever be quite the same...

Got any brand preference, Pete? If it's Canon, snap up a 700D with the 18-135mm kit lens. If it's Nikon, ask MaTBoY...

Just spotted a stock-looking white s1 C34 going down Windsor Rd (heading towards Parra) in Baulkham Hills past the Bull & Bush Hotel.

Back when I bought it - 8 years ago this month! After lowering: Most recent pic that I've got (and even this is a few years old and doesn't include the rear spoiler): Action shot, 31 January 2010:

Okay folks, due to a number of unforeseen circumstances both within and outside of the club, the SAU:NSW committee will be unable to draw the winners at the proposed Open General Meeting (OGM) we were hoping to hold next weekend. Time constraints have gotten the better of a number of us, and our foolproof plan was to have the meeting and prize draw on the same day as Australia's favourite big taxi race, which would not have worked well for attendance at said OGM (hey, we're still human, after all)... Now, the draw WILL still go ahead, and the details of the winner will be posted in this thread once all of the finer points are sorted and locked in. For those who have already entered, we wish you the best of luck. For those who have not entered, you still have until Friday 11 October 2013 to join the club or renew your Membership. Remember, if you're already an existing Member of SAU:NSW, you still have to submit and pay for a renewal to enter.

Fair enough, I guess until you/they can confirm what else uses the same calipers and pads as the G37/V36, it'll be trial and error.

Where are you getting your brake pads from, Theo? I ordered mine from GSL Rallysport at around 3pm yesterday, and they arrived this morning! Awesome sauce!

Yay for stripey horse skids!

Using the GoPro one. GoPro Studio v2.0 It wouldn't matter what I was using, I just don't have the patience to do it properly. Otherwise, like I said, the video would be something like 4hrs long, even with just 1.5hrs of footage!

LOL

She's probably sifting through the millions of marriage proposals, etc. she likely receives on a daily basis...
