I watched R34 GTR's BMW M3's GT2 Porsches Ford Mondeos, Ferraris, Elises's Gallardo's.... almost every car you can think of travel from the top of the UK all the way to the bottom of spain. If they can do that, im sure we can do it. And i dont mean just skylines,. all cars.

So if your the expert and have seen it all.

How about you plan it?

Myself and ossie_21 have already done it. We drove from Sunshine Coast, Queensland to Perth in 3.5 days in our own skylines. So yeah, mini cruise across Australia. 4,500km. ;)

f**k yeah. :P

It's not a road trip if you don't have 100L of 98octane fuel in the boot ;)

I have done this run before, cost me about 600 in juice, then meals and accomodation ( i slept in a swag beside my car coz im cheap) Its not a bad drive, can do it in 3-4 days without pushing, i did it in 2.5 but that was non stop driving

back in those days there was no speed limit on the stuart highway so it was fun when we crossed the border, only had 95 in it though :worship:

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow 
    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
