Well here I am, in a little rural town of england, not much of a car scene, Ive seen one or two coswroths, heaps of porshces' mercs, and beamers, lots of $$ drving around the roads. No skylines yet.

The town im staying in is good, very small, and cosy you could say. Im staying at the back of the pub im working in, not the greatest accomidation, but its a place to sleep, so I cant complain.

Anyway, I better go, its pretty cold, and ive got a 20min walk back to the pub.

Cheers

hehe.. doxx ill buy ya a pint, its only about £2 for a beer, which is over a litre, its great!

I seen two skylines yesterday, a nice r32 GTR, and an r33 GTS with a GTR badge on it, YES its true, they have lots of ricers over here as well.

Kamikaze, I went around london the other day and seen alot of the sites, such as big ben, and the palace, and few other awesome places, things are so old here its amazing, australia, really needs some decent history hehe.

Im gonna try and catch up witha few of the GTR UK guys, and get them to come down to the pub im working at for a meet, that should be great.

Good to see your all doing well, INASNT, you should just pack up your stuff, and come meet me.. you'll love it.

There are some AWESOME roads here, so i gotta try and hire a car for the day, get some driving in.

cheers.

yep mate, just workign and living in a pub over here, earn a few pounds then travel on that.

everything here is pretty expensive, so its good to earn thier money, and spend thier money, that way you dont lose to much in conversion from AUD.

Ive got a pretty good normal camera, I didnt bring the digi cam, but i'm sure some of the GTR UK guys do.

I'll keep you all posted.

    • 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.
