I live near the latrobe valley area and was just wonderin if there are any small skyline clubs round here or wether there are any people that have skylines meets in this area. I seen quite a few skylines kicken round and just wondering if these people are on these forums.

Yeah i was thinking it would be good to have a small club or something in the gippsland area. If there is enough people round that want to meet up it would be good. I dont really know any other skyline owners round here.

My parents live in Yinnar so I drive around that area a fair bit in my R. The traffic cops are pretty bored in the valley, my record is 4 'random' breath tests in 48 hours. luckily they aren't too bright so provided your not too low and you don't have any shiny things in your engine bay you're generally ok.

Far out man...

My best was 4 times in 7 days.

But 48 hour takes the badge for SURE!

Rod - you need to harden up.

I cruise up to Raymond Island with my mates a couple times a year to stay at a holiday house we have there. But if there is an event going on up that way, may prompt us to arrange our next trip as we are both 'line owners.

thats all good i have few mates with nice cars.

you would get a bigger club going if you had other cars also my skyline is getting a new engine atm but iv been getting around in my mates pink supra lol

my grandparents live in sale so i head up there a few times a year and i know my way around there quite well. i always go for a walk around the lake there, im usually wrecked after it though lol. ill be heading back up there again soon in my new r34. watching those roulettes practice is always awsome to watch.

lol, all 5mins of it :D (joke for both Rod & Kat hehe)

ha got that right.

Its great... I park.. and I have 3 pubs at my disposal within a few metres...so its not a long crawl back to the car to pass out.

Gotta love country towns.

hey from sale agian.

im bout to unleash my 33 gtst out but cops can pull me off the road.

there is nothing shiny under the bonnett can i tell em its non turbo and do everything to make it sound like a non?

and do you think they will care cos my mate has a pink supra with 20s and stands out and he has never been pulled over?

    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
    • My experience with Rising Sun Exports Before agreeing to the sale I tried to do as much research as I could (obviously), his Facebook reviews are 98% and he goes Live at least once or twice a week. I contacted 2 people in the UK who had used him for their imports, both had positive feedback. His explanation and talk through of the import process was thorough, answering any query no matter how stupid it was. It felt as soon as the money was sent, communication dropped off. I asked for shipping updates every 2 weeks or so, not wanting to pester him, he never had any updates. I wasn't informed the car had been dropped off at the port, I only found out by his Facebook story. I asked for the photos taken at the port, knowing he would need some for insurance purposes. I received a few 5 second clips and that's it. When asked again, he said his staff had them. Weeks later I asked again, he tells me he doesn't have any, but does have 50 photos from the original advert. I never received them. I eventually got the documents sent via WhatsApp after I mentioned the port was requesting them. I purchased a CarVX report, to find out the vehicle is a Grade R with recorded accident damage, first recorded in 2017 when it was first auctioned. He never told me the grade, then again I didn't ask. His response was "Grade R means nothing, it wasn't chassis damage". Still, I would have liked to have been informed about it. Jon prides himself on being open and honest when it comes to inspecting cars, it's his main job doing so at the auctions for customers. When the vehicle arrived in the UK I noticed a few little cosmetic issues. It's a 21 year old car so it wasn't going to be mint condition. The side skirts are cracked on each corner and the sealant is failing. The front grill on the bonnet/hood isn't secured very well, mounting studs are missing. Both minor things, but again, it would have been nice to be told. During a Facebook Live walk around video of the vehicle, he mentioned it has a front Whiteline anti roll bar/sway bar. While on the inspection ramp, I noticed the stock item has been installed. When first questioned, his response was "the ARB? Switched? Since when, it never had them". Since sending video and photo evidence I've not received a response. I'm probably being over critical of the overall condition of an old car, but all I wanted was honesty (which he claims to have). I'm aware I wasn't his only customer, he's busy doing XYZ but other reviews praise him for great communication with regular updates and photos, I felt I didn't receive the same treatment.
