Its quiet in here this afternoon ... I'm gona be here forever you should see the stack of invoices as recipts I need to put into the computer :(

If anyone ever tries to sell you the program "Tune" kick them in the nuts and tell them to jog on, slowest pos ever

Just test drove a 2013 navara for shits and giggles, rang the boss from it, and he goes" get a quote then, lets get the ball rolling on this" f**kin WIN!

Diesel? or petrol? my dads is the current shape ('08) V6 200killerwasp. with less km's than my skyline, and has alot more squeaks and rattles. if he'd payed any more than the $18k he did......I would have told him to take it back. 6 recalls so far, and dam does it sound sick on cold morning start ups.

I'd go Hilux all the way. or racing patrol, but they are thirsty and expensive.

Navara FTW page!

See above

Yeah, I was reading this earlier.

They expect to keep manufacturing open until 2016, then after just R&D and sale of foreign models only.

The Oz car manufacturing just cannot complete with other manufacturers as the costs of operations i.e. high wages, high costs of materials etc... is just too much.

Unless GM injects another lot of $b of $ into Holden they will also be next on the chopping block.

The only upside to this is that competition between other manufacturers will be even more fierce (in order to capture more market share) and naturally costs of motor vehicle prices will drop....and about bloody time too as 35K for a new Holden POS is just ridiculous.

And we may get all the cool and obscure other cars for a reasonable price! bring on the end of aust holden and ford!

Did you know that Hyundai make a RWD V8 saloon? which I assume we dont get because it will steal more sales from Oldens and Fords

meh their fault for not selling mustang and gt40 without going through rip off importers, no big loss now.

unbelievable prices aye? I think 600k is about as cheap as Ive seen a GT.....and 150k for a Mustang is just stupid. For that you can buy an epic old stang, at least then you have an excuse for being slow :)

Haha she didnt want to steal it, she wanted me to sell it and buy something else :/

If any chick I was dating or even (heaven forbid) married too asked me to sell the skyline, her arse would be out in the cold quick smart. But no chick will date me so all good haha

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
