Many of my relatives have served this country in both World Wars, a few of whom paid the ultimate sacrifice and were burried where they fell in battle. Anzac day has always been a special day for me to reflect on their commitment and bravery. This year Stacey and I will be travelling down to attend the dawn service at the war memorial in Canberra. Would like to see if anyone would be keen to attend and have a few beers/breakfast afterwards. Any takers?

Fo shizzle yo, ill be at the service and im keen to reinact my Sydney ANZAC day from 2005 (Sydney goes off on ANZAC day). though I dont thinkn ill drink for 24 hours straight this time.

Im all for drinking and running amok but i get really shitty at the people who see this day as a piss up and gamble affair without at least attending one of the services during the day.

where we gonna meet up??

You know that I will be there with the missus Paul, Jayce and Erica will come too Im sure... Dont ask me to go to the dawn service though... Even though I am forever greatful for the life that all Aussie's live thanks to our diggers sacrifices, I am NOT a morning person and you dont want to know me that early in the morning. :D

There is a great spot in Kingston where you can get excellent coffee and breakfast its called Green Square, we should meet there.

You went to bed at Final Battle didnt you? Even if it was at 6:00am :(

:blink: You have a missus called Paul?

Thats a bit like "I helped my Uncle Jack off a horse" its all about the grammar LOL

LOL, youre right I have a missus called Paul, (thats my pet name for her) guess who plays the male role in the relationship :(

I'm a dawn service guy through and through; of course me & E are there! For those that haven't done a dawn service, do yourself a favour. We all take this country for granted a little too much, and my family has fought for it in wars past. So, suck it up for one day in the year (Mick may be excuses...he REALLY isn't a morning person and SHOULD attend the 10 a.m. service instead); see you there. Or not, as it will be DARK.

I say we gather afterwards at Green Square, Kingston, for some brekky...

good to hear there wil lbe some people attending,

i had always attended the dawn service back home in geelong at point danger down in torquay (bells beach for the surfers out there). they are a truelly moving experience, every year theres a poam that just rips me to shreads with the last few words. but this year will be different. it will be my first ANZAC day 4am wake up, away from geelong, and this time i have the honour of saying i am a fresh face to the family of those air force members before me and remember them in solace, then party hard for the australia that they help shape. lest we forget

my two cents

yeah but then you'll all step aside and pretend you don't know me and leave me all alone being a blubbering mess LOL

Where are we meeting for the dawn service? Brekky at Green Square is a great idea, we used to have a Managers meeting there every week @ 7am and the brekkies & coffee were terrific.

We lost our Uncle in Beersheba (1st Light Horseman) and Dad served in WW2 - I'd love to go, but know I will bawl my eyes out. I get teary just thinking about it... I'm almost a bigger girl than Mick.

You may be taking things a bit far here Michele, theres no way possible that could ever happen.

Kingston sounds good. Dont forget there are plenty of buses starting early to take you to the service if you are planning to drink afterwards. We dont want to add to the Skyline driver fatality statistics now do we.

    • 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.
