Did you end up entering the tour Snowman?

Yep sure did. Am looking forwards to being up there and concentrating on the festivities side of things!

:blink:

BTW - apparently a new Tarmac Rally was announced yesterday in W.A.

Targa South West. Sounds promising although slightly confusing. Its running under CAMS but to AASA Targa regs or something!? LOL

yeah yeah benny, taspride's 'whoe whoe whoe' party, can't miss it mate. you're still coming down obviously? i've lined up all your fav boys to lick you down just before you're rolled in glitter!

just imagine what you'd achieve if you took the skirt off before going out drinking Stu :)

wtf is happening with the temps at buller? currently 5o are they kidding?

http://www.weatherzone.com.au/vic/alpine-areas/mount-buller

wet fri/sat

dry sunday

either way max temp over the next 5 days is meant to be 15.

I can't believe all you skirts are skipping this event. Have any of you ever given it a run? any tips?

That's the thing about Buller - the weather is always going to be one end of the extremes.

But as for the event itself I'll give you a little tip.

Don't leave the road! It's a big drop....

:D

And definitely don't do a Heskin! LOL

One tip, clutch stabs! Oh, and DON'T bin it at the right hander on the concrete in the township.

Well I've put the thing up for sale so I figured I may as well try and have one more good time in it before it finds its way to a new happy home. :D

Well I use it as my daily right now and that's basically all I use it for. Generally if I want some fun I take the R34.

So I figured it's wasted in its current life. Plus I'm also coming to realise that with me doing all of these interstate rallies etc that I really should look at a tow car for the R34 rather than just driving it everywhere I go. So I've had to make the hard decision to let the R35 go unfortunately.

cheap stag tow car or going something newer?(guessing you are with the 35's budget but worth a shot :P)

holy f**k just getting up here was an adventure. the stage will be a blast but tonights drive up was a shocker. wombats in the mist! couldnt see a bloody thing 5m in front in the fog (lucky kel had pace notes, no idea how she can read and make sense of those things in the dark). not to mention if we stopped the ute it never wold have got going again on that hill.

anyway here in 1 piece now, just need to sort out everything tommoz

    • 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.
