Hey guys

Ossie_21 (Nathan) and myself have pretty much had it with this place and have decided to take a mini-cruise home in both our Skylines.

So we're driving from Coolum Beach in Queensland (Sunshine Coast) to Perth.

We'll be leaving some time towards the end of December this year.

Anyone know of anyone to have done something this stupid in similar type cars? :P

Anyways, I'll be periodically updating this thread from various parts of Australia. I have scheduled in 3-4 rest stops and the whole trip should take 4 or 5 days. Depends on how much driving we feel up to. Anyways, wish us luck and hopefully in a couple weeks and I'll post a few pictures of the two skylines covered in dust and insects in some random spots in Australia.

Cheers,

Shayde

yeps, you'd know the fuel economy of a skyline. Esp one with more hp than usual like ossie's right? :thumbsup:

i did perth to sydney in my 180sx a few years back

dont drive at night incase you hit an animal and carry half a dozen spare octane booster bottles , good stuff , cause some of the fuel is realy realy shit and she might ping her ass off with it

    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
