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

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
