*Big man hug*

Now who's gonna encourage me to go out on Friday nights and spend more and more money on my Skyline? ;)

I pic up my 33 in the next few weeks so i can, lets do a group buy on traction paint and quad overhard sunvisors.

Shawn will miss out and feel inferior.

Good luck.

Rules I remember

Don't lean on the walls

Don't volunteer for anything

Don't take all that stuff they tell you to take, just some trousers, shoes and shirt. You WILL be issued with anything you need. You will need to CARRY your luggage everywhere with you, don't take bags with wheels you will carry them anyway.

Don't get caught with the girls

Do go to Sunday Church, gets you out of cleaning and the only place for getting wine.

Don't say you were part of any cadets etc

Gezz there's a million more, you'll find out soon.

Good luck! Hopefully you get to learn how to do cool stuff like run for hours with a big heavy pack, crawl through mud and get up at 5 in the morning.

Sounds like fun to me. Anyways, hope all goes well and hopefully we will see you around christmas!?

As for everybody else, do we really need encouragement to spend money on our cars? What else are you going to spend it on? Food? Rent? Maybe we need to set up a support group for those who are losing their way. Hahaha.

Yeah wish you well Shawn, give us the heads up when you're returning and I'll try to organise a lunch or dinner cruise somewhere so we can all catch up.

Don't get caught with the girls

I guess its best to get caught with the girls than anything else :( but if you do get caught... we want pics :)

Yes you will get 2 weeks off at christmas cos the instructors have lives too (i personally reckons its weak as piss) and you will get heaps of leave in the army plus there is plenty of clerk postings in Canberra, so we will se you often im sure.

Goodluck and my advice is dont take shit from the arms corps, just laugh at the fact you will get payed more for a lot less work (well it always pissed me off anyways).

hahahahaha have with kapooka that place sucks balls... been in for 5 yrs now

Second that. What u do in there dude?

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
