Spotted my R32 getting bogged on the GDE whilst trying to do a U turn .... on the grassy section after missing the turnoff to Aranda

Lucky for me some other drivers saw me stranded and helped me push the car out :) ... Was rather embarrassing but then again I guess it could happen to the best of us ...

Car was bloody filthy after spinning the wheels like a madman trying to get it out .... whilst bogged the whole car ended up filthy as hell ... (tried driving out slowly to no avail ... Damn open rear diff and no rear LSD to help me get out ....

The drivers side rear wheel which was in the dirt would just keep spinning like crazy whereas the passenger side would spin slowly ...

Car is now Clean as a daisy as I spent all afternoon in the Cold cleaning out the interior and exterior ...

So much mud and grass underneath the car it was like it had been in a bloody rally of Canberra ... Got many weird looks from other drivers probbably wondering where I had been with my R32 covered in mud LOL...

Woo, been a while. Whose parking the nice blue V-Spec II in the same carpark as me the past month or so? Bound to catchya one day, even if you're not on here.

My car's been running like an absolute dog recently (bottom end bearings) so pretty much avoid driving it except to work :\ Boorrring!

Spotted the white R35 GTR going along the road near the casino, it looks so much better in the flesh. Specially when it drives past you.

Saw most likely the same car parked in Civic around lunchtime, looks like an ADM model.

    • 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.
