Yeah Petit has come up with a new way to fight "The war of Hoonism"

I posted in the vic wasteland about these planes on friday.... noisy pricks kept making me run outside, they were too high up to be seen, but it took about 4 minutes for the sound to pass.

The other day I was at Sandringham Yacht Club jumping off a tower out in the water when 4 Black Hawk's in formation went by.

hahahaha, i haven't done that for a few years!! Is it still dodge trying to climb up the ladder from the bottom? i remember there use to be this sharp, jagged metal bit at the base that you had to try and avoid hooking your back up to it! good fun! You live bayside way?

re: SASR - that explains the Black Hawk presence, the main Regiment vehicle of choice... well for us aussies. How'd u know they are down at hastings Ash?

I work in Sth Melbourne and saw the Hornets flying the other day, and i immediately thought... wonder if we had a squadron of the Regiment stationed somewhere... pretty much decided there had to be. Thought there might even be some in civies around the games sites.

Yeah, they'd be training their asses of... man, the SASR is the shit! love those guys!

Saw one of the "Bell UH-1 Iroquios" tonight at about 5.45pm as I was driving through Sandringham on Beach Rd. Promptly went home and watched some more of the A-Team. Can't remember having seen one in the air before other than on TV.

yeah, when the hell are the JSF's going to be taking over from the Hornet's?

couldn't seem to google anything bout the Regiment in hastings, or being used for the Comm games... they're pretty stretched at the moment, especially with Afghanistan and who knows where else they are in the world. Maybe it's a bunch of 4RAR guys down there riding the Hawks?

Hi guys,

Just a few quick ones regarding this topic:

*The RAAF Hornets have been upgraded to at least F/A-18C standard. It has been going on for a few years and is called the Hornet Upgrade (HUG).

*There are 71 RAAF Hornets.

*Surpisingly, they perform better than a P-51 :D

*They Iroquois are old, yes. That is why they are being replaced by the Tiger.

*JSF's can't take over the Hornets for a while yet. There aren't even any JSF's in-service in the US.

*As someone pointed out, the cost of providing these elements is very high, which (to answer another post) is why "the governmant only gives a sh!t about terrorism when we have visitors". That statement is like asking why don't we have a police officer walking a beat past everyone's house 24/7. Impractical.

*The SASR has a team assigned to counter-terrorism on a full-time basis. Yes, they are in Melbourne.

I don't mean to cause offence guys, just clarifying a few points raised. I hope you read it in the spirit in which it is intended.

Cheers

Mark

    • 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?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • 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?
