i thought it suited :(

i wanted to see skylines actually enter rather then just cruising ell wel

well unfortunately my gearbox was making some bearing type noise 1 week prior to the event so that screwed me over, wasnt able to attend.

i wouldve loved to show most the v8 turnout what skylines can do :D.

ahhh well theres next year for me, with much bigger setup ;)

went yesterday wasnt a bad day, but no1 knew what they were doing in the stampede event. apart from that 180sx that was going sideways up the straight.

Firstly - to the guy with the S2 33 - nice car..

...

I think the reason why skyline or other import drivers stay away is the sheer stupidity of the v8 meathead crowd. Sure there are some nice 8's that go, no doubt. But there are the fair share of crappers that go aswell. But cos they have a v8 and set of straight pipes the moronic crowd thinks they are gods.

The other reason I think it's not worth entering is that cruising is a joke. I found it funny that on the TV add for the Easternats it said to avoid the traffic and stay home this easter - go to the easternats. If anyone else here has been an entrant you'll know exactly how much of a joke cruising is and how stupid saying that in their tv add was.

For those that havent - heres a rundown

you go flat out down the straight to the first corner, slow to 5 k's cos the traffic is banked up infront of you, crawl through the next few corners to the nack straight, flat out for 10 secs then back to a crawl. A lap at "cruising" speeds takes 8-10 minutes.

You could probably get around faster on a pushbike... although the officials would still tell ya off if you popped a mono down the back straight...

Burnouts, well watching them it's easy to spot the guys that go to shows and do a lot of burnouts and the ones that just practise in the kmart carpark.

And finally, if you have ever had to deal with Jon Davison and getting "different" cars entered, scutineered, you'll know he knows as much about his own event as britney spears does about singing.

but thats just my 2c...

that mighty boy was mad. Had a huge day out, was nice to see a few skylines out there..the perfect day for it on monday..but my head hurts bad and I have to work today...so feel fantastic...lol

omg at the amount of shit the guys on the PA were giving skylines everytime they came up LOL. they really dont like the rice burners lol.

yeah i saw manni there in his r33gtst a r32gtr, the white r33 gtr from sau, and a silver r33gtst.

did anyone see that 180sx? the japarehouse one who was just drifting the track? lol

Yeah f**k'em, although I did not goto Easternats I see where you are coming from.

Guess it's the same when you see a Commie at a Drift Event but I'm not sure if the guys at the PA give them shit..?

Anyone see a white Nissan 180SX with a HKS POWERS sticker across the windscreen?

"Boof" is his name, met him a few times and that's his 180SX with a high mount turbo + all the goodies under the hood.

couldnt have said it better myself!

the amount of times i had people say to me this weekend "why dont you put your car in?" and the amount of times i told them "sorry, but burnouts arent my cup o tea!"

i was only too happy to stay well away from yob fest 2009! i like my car the way it is... NOT BENT OR IMPOUNDED!!! :D

sorry if i got a bit carried away...

    • 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.
