First Time In Australia And Just For 2 Month

[BNR32_switzerland]

Hello,

My name's sandro i'm 23 and i'm from switzerland. i will go to new zealand at the end of this month to learn english. i will be in australia at christmas until the end of february.

I just know the nissan skylines from videos pictures and games. But i love this cars and i did never see a skyline in real life. that is an importante objective on my trip.

do you know a website where i can find the dates and places from shows and races?

Is it possible to drive a skyline without buying one? I have an own car here in switzerland but you cant compare it with a skyline. its a citroen ax... yes, you may laugh, other people drive expensive cars in switzerland.. but i will see there a realy fast street car..! :-)

thank you for your answers.

A friend of a friend hired a gtr and took it for a belt around a race track (http://www.wakefieldpark.com/) i got no idea where he hired a gtr but if u look at that link they have v8`s u can hire

Our trip starts at the 2nd of january in sidney. We will go to adelaide with a rental car. Take a visit to alice springs and when we are back in adelaide we go to brisbane by plane. After these things we still have one month to discover the east coast. we will fly back into switzerland from melbourne. on the 29th of february.

Sydney to Adelaide in a car in the middle of summer after coming from a european winter.... it will be like 40 degrees like really hot

This is what I would do.

When I came to Sydney the very first thing I want to see was a skyline.

I was in a taxi and this guy went pass and I was blessed with seeing a lines.

But if I were you I would look into NSW and SA and see if there are any events at the time of your arrival.

Sandro, air conditioning is great in most cars here so don't worry too much about the heat in the deserts.

As for the New Zealanders teaching English!! Well that's pretty far fetched. They speak something similar to English but farked if I can understand it

Enjoy your visit and feel free to drop me a line when in Brisbane. I might even take you for a shot in my GTR33

[BNR32_switzerland]

hey

sorry but i didn't understand everything.

we will look for a car with airconditioning, but we like to drive a cabriolet, wear a cowboy hut and listen to old boring country music :-). But i'm certain, when we are arriving adelaide we will shine like the ayers rock in the sunset. :-)

drop me line? you mean i should write it here when i' in brisbane? i will do that! Can i also drive your car? Im a good driver here in switzerland. I'am car replacement part dealer here in switzerland at citroën. so i now many things about cars..

what means "I was in a taxi and this guy went pass and I was blessed with seeing a lines."

and "NSW and SA"

yes i will learn an other english in newzealand. but here in switzerland, we dont understand some people who live only 100 kilometers away from me... :-) so i got no worries.

thanks for your posts

GTR geoff told me you could drive his line and thrash the shit out of it if you felt like it mate. Be sure to look him up when you are in Brisbane.

When you are in Melbourne goto Chappel Street on a Friday or Saturday night . ....No doubt there will be more than a few skylines around.

Contact this person in Canberra (between Adelaide and Sydney) he will hire you his Skyline GTR and take you to a racetrack to learn how to go fast.

While you are at it, have a look at the Capital of Australia. Lots of free tourist attractions.

[BNR32_switzerland]

hey mates!

i have been in new zealand for 4 weeks now. my english is already a little bit better..

thank you for your posts, especially for the post for fifthgear. i havent been on the page yet but i will take a look. i planned although to go to canberra, so its on my way. i will spend about 6 days or more in melbourne, because my plane f**ks off from melbourne to zurich..

here in auckland are loads of skylines. but a gtr is rarely to find. it seemed to me as the skyline is a cheap, sporty car to cruise and pose on the roads, isnt it? Maybe i have to ask some guys about these cars, but id rather like to drive a skyline in australia..

cu guys

Don't know if fifth gear will be doing any courses in December, We will be having a Skidpan day on the 10th of November. I'm sure the skyline owners in canberra wouldn't mind getting together when your here, for a cruise or something like that.

Are you Switzerland German or French or Italian? As I know a bit of German myself, family background.

[murrayis]

lol its a long drive from sydney to Adelaide... then too Alice Springs... thats one decent road trip you want to do in a convertable lol I would advise air conditioning.

When your in brisbane, let us all know theres test and tune every wednesday night at the drag strip and also drifinting every other week at archerfield so.. heaps to do and see

[BNR32_switzerland]

hey mates

its everything ok with the fifthgear. i tried to book in the beginning of january because im there for several days. but they are resurfacing the track and its not possible at that time. so i am going to rent the car in the middle of february when i am again near to sidney. i post you when i am in brisbane. my friend who is traveling with me intends to go to new caledonia to visit a girl he met here in our school. im going to spend my time in brisbane and the east coast.

i am from the german part in switzerland.

see you

sandro

Ah ok, if your in Canberra some time, post here. would be happy to meet you etc, we're a friendly bunch down here. Mostly meetup every friday night.

[ssshonky]

hey matey.. sounds like one hell of a trip you have going there!

I am sure the local Sydney / Brisbane Skyline owners will make you more than welcome . but .. just be sure you know the travel distances involved. I am not saying you dont know how far it is between cities but some people dont seem to grasp the enourmity of Aus.

A Long inter city drive would be awesome... its a lovely place to travel in..

so you must know Sebastian loeb then

good mates?
