g'day guys

i was driving a mate home last night. i was approaching the intersection of elizabeth drive and hume highway. the lights went red and i slowed down. anyway, i watched 3 cars lined up on the hume highway lanes. one was a white r32. had a nismo sticker diagonally on the back right quarter panel. anyway, the lights went green, and the r32 lost traction for about a 1/4 second, then took off the lights and was off like a rocket. but the thing is, it didn't look like it was accelerating, it just looked like it was doing 80kph straight from the start!

does anyone know this guy? this car flew. i've seen r32's and r33's and other turbo cars off the mark, but i reckon this thing ripped alot harder than others i've seen!

cheers, MARK

Hey 88,

I've seen this guy a few times on the road, on my way home, I had a nice little run with him on my way home from work once and kept up as well.

Woo Hoo i must have a ***** hot car hey:D

The guy gave me a little beep and a wave when he turned off. Nice Guy, Not scared to squeeze the throttle either

sounds good, I'm little tied up over the next couple of months, but I want to get down to Wakefield in September with the honda boys.

I don't actually have NISMO plates on the car. I have a white 33 with GTR front bar, FMIC, 17" wheels, lowered, with twin rear angled exhaust, gimme a wave if you see me.:cool:

    • 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.
