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.

i stay in canberra from the 12th to the 15th of february. i havent drove the skyline yet. but i will miss to see this cars here, i wanna have one at home to beat that f** bmw's and that the other wheelchairs. :D

i could go for a visit to sydney. its not that far away from canberra isnt it?

    • For sure, bromance with common shit box interests.
    • People like Johnny Dose Bro might be laughing at my post because I accidentally added 100mm to my numbers. 350-355 is indeed the lower limit. 450 is off-road Skyline spec.
    • What is the "compromise" that you think will happen? Are you thinking that something will get damaged? The only things you have to be concerned about with spherical jointed suspension arms are; Arguments with the constabulary wrt their legality (they are likely to be illegal for road use without an engineering certificatation, and that may not be possible to obtain). A lot more NVH transmitted through to the passengers (which is hardly a concern for those with a preference for good handling, anyway). Greatly increased inspection and maintenance requirements (see above points, both).   It is extremely necessary to ask what car you are talking about. Your discussion on strut tops, for example, would be completely wrong for an R chassis, but be correct for an S chassis. R32s have specific problems that R33/4 do not have. Etc. I have hardened rubber bushes on upper rear control arms and traction rods. Adjustable length so as to be able to set both camber and bump steer. You cannot contemplate doing just the control arms and not the traction arms. And whatever bushing you have in one you should have in the other so that they have similar characteristics. Otherwise you can get increased oddness of behaviour as one bushing flexes and the other doesn't, changing the alignment between them. I have stock lower rear arms with urethane bushes. I may make changes here, these are are driven by the R32's geometry problems, so I won't discuss them here unless it proves necessary. I have spherical joints in the front caster rods. I have experienced absolutely no negatives and only positives from doing so. They are massively better than any other option. I have sphericals in the FUCAs, but this is driven largely by the (again) R32 specific problems with the motion of those arms. I just have to deal with the increased maintenance required. Given how much better the front end behaves with the sphericals in there.....I'd probably be tempted to go away from my preference (which is not to have sphericals on a road car, for 2 of the 3 reasons in the bulleted list above), just to gain those improvements. And so my preference for not using sphericals (in general) on a road car should be obvious. I use them judiciously, though, as required to solve particular problems.
    • Aren't we already on one? SAU unforgettable bromance.
    • Easiest way to know is to break out the multimeter and measure it when cold, then measure all the resistances again once it gets hot enough to misfire. Both the original ignitor and the J Replace version. Factory service manual will have the spec for the terminal measurements.
