when your in sydney i know this isn't the best place to go but go to Liverpool Krispy Kremes and Mcdonalds on friday and saturday night, you will be sure to see a few skylines there as well as mine sometimes....

hay buddy how r ya

just a word of warning the journey u intend on embarking on is no small feat in fact its f**ken huge man.

ive driven around most of australia over the years. ive driven from brisbane to melbourne non stop and its a 22hr drive.

but the big trip from sydney to adelaide then to alice is huge ive gone melb - adelaide - alice and it took a few days and the coditions are harsh. u r stupid if u think ur doing it in a cabriolet, get alot a lot of maps and a gps as well and take heaps of water because it is straight desert and a big jerry can wouldnt go a stray either be really careful and make sure the car u are doing it in is capable ok

cheers

hey mates

i ve done the great ocean road from melbourne to adelaide. we didnt start from sydney, we went by plane to to melbourne. but the great ocean road from melbourne to adelaide was short. i thought its more. it was a nice coastal road. i didnt know that here are so many flies during the day. thats horrible. i had to learn a new move 'the aussie wave'

i am now in adelaide, i booked a bushcamper for 10 days. i gonna drive to uluru and carry on then to brisbane.. that are 4000ks. i know its stupid but we can do that. i am traveling with a friend here. we need a emergency radio, loads of water and diesel.

you were right. here are 1000 skylines. but i couldnt take a photo of 1 yet because i never have my camera with me. is a gt-r so rare? i never see one. i think if you have a godzilla you dont mind to remove the emblem.

of course i know sebastian leob. he is a hero. is the wrc finished, did he win? i gonna take a look.

you gonna find a post when i am in brisbane and later in melbourne. where is the chappel st in melbourne? i checked my tourist road map (haha) but i could find it. is it near the flinders station and fed square?

see you later

hey mates

i am now in brisbane. i stay on a campsite in redcliffe. i gonna give back my campervan the day after tomorrow and move to a backpackers in brisbane central for 2 days and then to the surfers paradies for another 2 weeks. Somebody wrote me we could meet up. my aussie phone nr is 0406550174 (vdf)

the way from adelaide to brisbane via alice was very long and hot. but we enjoyed it.

i am looking forward to see someone of you. here or in melbourne.

see ya

Hey sounds like a great trip!! Did you get to drive a skyline yet? I don't think GTR's are really that rare, on holiday in various places they always seem to pop up, and even here in Alice there's a few.

Good move getting the camper..that's the way to do it.

Enjoy the rest of your trip and keep us updated!

Hey, there is some trackwork going on at Queensland raceway tomorrow.

Either make your way out or send me a pm if you are getting rid of the camper early and I'll tell you how to get the train from Brisbane to my place and we'll head out together.

hey buddys

im now in surfers paradise for about 2 weeks. is there anybody out there with a skyline? :)

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
