Lines In Cairns

[Guest INASNT]

Yo i am from sau vic but been doning alot of work up near Cairns.

I am currently west of cairns about 100km/h near a town called Atherton.

Is there any1 here who lives in Cairns???

I seen 1 purple r33 gtr and 1 red r33 gts-t so far.

I am staying in atherton and working down at the tinaroo dam, we are building a mini hydro electric powerstation at the base of the dam.

Lots of old people around here and lots of old 4wd's around.

[Spook's_Skyline]

yup, they sure love 4 wheel drives up there

shame though, there are some slamin roads where cops never go

would be nice to get the whale up there for a spin

[Guest INASNT]

yes there are some nice long straights near where i work. I have got my BA Falcon hire car upto 210km/h down one of em. They dont like to be driven that fast and are very unstable at that speed.

Hey Denham, I've tried this one before.

I was up in Townsville in July. I saw a 2 R33 GTST, 1 Supra and a nice R32 GT-R. I enquired if they were on the forum but my search yielded nothing.

There just don't seem to be many Liners or import drivers that far north.

[Guest INASNT]

I am up about 4 hrs drive north of Townsville, and theres just old landcruisers around and locals that drive 80 in 100 zones.

[Wardest]

I spose a Skyline doesn't make much sense up in the tropics. Its to hot and the roads can't be that great. Although the roads in Townie were OK. They had great wide corners without much traffic and with nice smooth long straights. Leewah was there aboout 2 weeks before I went up and thought that out near the airport in Townie there are some wicked long stretches where his monster could have had a crack at the big three zero zero.

Both Leewah and I agreed that our Lines should go with us next time.

[Guest INASNT]

Around where i am the roads are really nice and smooth, but they are very narrow so if a truck is coming the other way u have to put 2 wheels on the dirt to avoid a head on.

I got the shitty BA falcon upto 210 easily, leewah could wind out 300 around where i am easily!!

[Wardest]

Good point. Why ruin the Line when you may as well abuse a Ford. Thats all they're really good for anywhy

( cheap shot :bahaha: )

Dude, you're on here more up there than you were when you were at home. Not that I'm implying you are sitting around with ya dick in ya hand.

[Guest INASNT]

Thats because around here i am basically the boss so i can bludge all day if i like.

I am just waiting for them to fix up a bunch of mistakes with some foundations they made so i get fly back to mel tomorrow afternoon

[gtr13]

Wardest what colour was the R32 GTR silver or a harliquin special effects paint both are members here i think. As far as i know they are the only 2 R32 GTR's in townsville and about 3 R33 GTR's including mine

[MM2death]

gtr13,

this GTR is from Townsville i believe. He brought it down to DMD to do the paint job.

Scott

[gtr13]

Yep that's aaron's (nismo power) car he is on these forums

[Wardest]

I know the paint job was silver, not harlequin.

The one i saw was cruising past the Bank and Bully's one night as I was being shown around Townie.

Wish I'd have known you boys were around back then, I'd have tried to hook up to say G'day.

Cheers fellas.

Hi fellas,

I'm a Cairns resident and will be back in town on Thursday with my latest acquisition. Metallic black R34 GTT (plated 34-GTT). It has some mods but nothing too over the top. I think I'm going to have to do the Rex Range Rd up through Julatten and Mount Molloy as soon as I can.

There are a few Skylines around. The boys at Autobarn in Cairns tell me that there is an R34 GTR in town as well but the guy only wheels it out on weekends.

Cheers

i have nearly gone off the edge through the gilies range in the hir cars i have driven through there, would be fun in a line tho

[2rismo]

I'm up around The Port and Cairns for my honeymoon in mid-late october this year. Hope to see a few 'lines to remind me of mine at home in bed (and to piss of the wife when i start waving frantically and yelling, "Skyline SKYLINE LOOK !!!! AAAHHH!!!"

umm....

does anyone else do that?!?! thought so

Adrian

[Spook's_Skyline]

man, plenty of good ranges to hit in cairns'

up gillies, across the tablelands, down kuranda or the other way

up to port douglas and the rex range out that way is a kik ass drive as well
