I'll be driving mine and stopping at every stop for fuel :-p Shouldn't cost too much. When I took the commodore it cost 650 round trip sitting on 120 there and back, thrashing around hidden valley for 2 days, then cruising darwin for a week after. Had 2 trips of 20km each where 240km/h was required to get items to keep the old chevy going too.

Not jealous craig. Mine is a freak too, What kind of a bitch gets about with cracked skirts and your ass hanging out.

Your car will be fine bro. Every car gets hot on trips lol. Plus, we drove to Jim's place at 42 degree day.

I went to adelaide and back for $430 both times and i make around 500-550 per tank at 110kph, but stopped 4 times for breaks and easy re-fills. And thats the same distance to Darwin.

You'll be sweet as if you go and you wont over heat lol! dont be soft lol :), and thats wicked you'll have an extra 500 to save or spend :)

Wont need a trailer man, if kurt's can do it and his blows fuel out the window you surly can.

Kurt: Mine is a freak too, What kind of a bitch gets about with cracked skirts and your ass hanging out <--- I dont get it haha?

Hi Fab

Sorry couldn't make it to your place to inspect motor. I'm on call and getting reamed this week.

Was going to go to power cruise but taking my R33 to Super Lap at Oran Park at the end of March. Going in Club sprint class and I'm driving the V-spec there and back. Really want to put the white car on the circuit properly (flat out) which power cruise is not. Getting retune at CRD also while over there just to optimise tune further.

Blue car's third gearbox arrived today too. Brand new OS Giken 5 speed and OS R3C clutch.

but man after that drive 2 jims place my car was hot as . dunno if a huge drive to darwin would be good 4 it unless i changed the radiator fluid with flash ultra coolin shit and bought a bag o ice at every stop 2 lol

What's wrong with your car then ?

My current tune I sit on 140 km/h all the way to Darwin/Adelaide and back and costs me around $650 -$700 return easily. Sits on around 78deg.C and I have a stock radiator and cap. Unless you've got a blockage in radiator or stuffed thermostat it shouldn't do that. Man, I drove from Melbourne to Adelaide in the WRX without ANY fans at all (they are thermos only in WRX), just the air blowing through the front at 100km/h and it didn't heat above normal temperature. I'd get it checked.

Well if I put some wider tyres on the back and stop getting on the throttle so hard then having it's ass out won't be a problem.

Lol, I'd like to know where the suposed 15k spent on the car is. Maybe he's adding in the cost the insurance company paid out to repair it when he had that "sneezing fit" and crashed it?

Lol, cammo's 180 smashed fry that night at the pump station. Good times.

Is that Greg the F-wit who bought my old GT4 ? Looks like it from the photos - that car cost me $16000 then he tried to sue me after crashing it!

How could he sue you cause he can't drive?

It'd be lucky to be pushing 170kw atw after all it's been through. He should race it next drag meet and show us then

Was looking at tyres, can get a full set of 255/40 R17 for rear and 225/45R17 for the front here including freight for $545. Choice of Michellin pilot sport, continental conti 2 or bridgestone potenza re blah blah blah

      Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...

      Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.

      Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z

      Wanna rewrite all of that in, say, 2 or 3 separate sentences, so that we can read it?
