what about a day trip to KI!

im a little drunk so dont abuse me, but 30 lines boarding the ferry would be cool.

:)

i reckon thats a decent idea,

got some nice cruising roads on KI,

getting over there might be a tad pricey though... :w00t:

I hate to be a party pooper but I'm not so keen on this 1. I've heard a few stories of late, if the seas a bit rough ur car moves around & there's no securing straps. Won't catch my line on that boat. Sorry guys

An ex-resident of KI told me, that in peak season the local hire car company gets a vehicle written off EVERY day, and most Adelaide companies specifically exclude KI from their insurance cover.

The roads are supposedly appalling, marble-like gravel everywhere, and very slippery. :s

we arnt talking about going bush.

the main rd that follows the sea around the island is great.

lots of dead critters from night driving but during the day its fine.

it was just a suggestion, and i still think its better then driving to vic.

just emagine the vic highway police when they see 20 skylines with sa plates coming thru.

no thanks.

and the ferry's do have tie down points everywhere.

you only have to ask them and they will strap it down.

in a month or two it wont be a issue anyway. calm seas..

I went to KI earlier this year for the first time. Great place but I wouldn't want to take my GTR there. Roads weren't great and the chance of hitting wildlife is very high.

I was just over on the island all last week, there aint no road that runs along the seaside, look at the attached map. There is a small section between Penishaw and American river but most(90%) of that strech you can't see s*** just trees. Don't get me wrong, it's an awesome place but you have to be prepared to hit the dirt and possibly some natives to get to the good bits. Plus the ferry ride costs around $300 for 2 people and a car return, no BP Ultimate and it costs 30c/L more for regular unleaded.

It was pretty rough when we went over but no cars moved, just rocked on their suspension, if anything i'd be worried about salt sprey getting everywhere.

It's good fishing tho- fishies

Yeah a Triton sounds more appropriate. Sound like something more for a Patrols Australia Club :laugh:

Rough/Dirt roads, no premium & $300 just to get across = no go for me.

If I had an older skyline or something as a workhorse I'd consider taking that over.

      The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week

      Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.

      What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
