That'd be great Niroj! I'll probably drive, so if anyone wants to come with me they are quite welcome (sharing the cost of petrol of course).

Shotgun front seat... unless Sammy's coming as well... in that case I'll have to pick another car :P

I will have a seat so someone can come with me

we share accomodation so it works out cheaper from memory 4 to a room and will cost $136 ea for the whole weekend and $8.00 pr car as they are locked up

we wont be going the great ocean road as it takes to long

we also will have the same plan as this years trip as it was fun and as steve said it worked

Saturday night Lygon St for dinner

Sunday night dinner at this nice place down from the hotel

and go to the ferry for photos

Monday leave rooms by 11am and cruise around for a while then hit the road normaly back in Adelaide by about 6:30pm

End of trip

At this stage I'm keen on going but will need to wait until alot closer to the date to organize anything with that unorganized girlfriend of mine lol - though I'd be staying at my sister's house save money from accommodation + food + shower etc :thumbsup:

Whats the fuel/cost like with the Skylines getting there and back? I've driven back and forth from Melbourne a few times previously but nothing bigger than a 4cylinder NA...

Me and a bunch of mates did this last September. My mate had a 33 (rb25) and that only took $140 of 98 round trip...

Depends on how much of a lead foot you are, too! We didn't drive around much in Melbourne, though - basically dumped the car at the hotel and went in search of random side-street clubs!!

Melbournes side-street clubs ftw!! They're crazy.

Sounds good to me aswell...minus god knows what i'll do when you guys go out to casino etc,. seeming as i'll still be 17 at that stage.

Ahh well.

don't worry we walked through the crown casino its like a supernastymallthatsopen24seven << i felt the need for one big sentence/word :P any ways they all went night clubbing and what ever afterwards and i caught a taxi home with my daughter im hoping i can strike a deal with her mum again this year and i can bring here she had soooo much fun

    • would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)    
    • 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
