Spotted EPIC FAIL ....

My R32 skyline .... LOL ...

LHR 17" Chrome rim buckled ever so slightly by potholes near airport and on majura road in 4 places around the rim and is heavily leaking air around the bead of the tyre and was running on rim ...consequently splitting the sidewall of the tyre all round ...

215/35 R17 Silver stone tyre @ $320 per tyre aswell ... not cheap and this is the 2nd time these tyres have failed on that set of wheels ... DODGEY chromes to the bin with them I say ...

And the Epic fail part is I had to Drive home on a 4 stud bloody space saver ... never ever thought i'd ever have to use that tyre but it came in handy this time round ...

Space saver FTW :thumbsup: ...

Will have to take my White 15x6" CSA wheels with polished lip in tomorrow and get a cheap set of 205/60 R15's fitted to get me by until I can afford some nice new 215/45R17 rubber on my good set of 17x7" SSA wheels

around $250 per tyre for the tyres I want ... cant afford that for a little while so cheap 15's will do .... Hoorah for 4 stud and cheap ass tyres

If it was around lunch time Kat, them I was either taking the car to Pedders to get inspection or looking for reliable double sided tape for aerial...Pedders told me useless information, nothing I already didnt know.

Spotted a White R34 tailing a bit behind me Thursday night when i was going home. Also spotted that R35 around Mitchell/Gungahlin

Apparently there is 2 R35 GTRs (White) in gungahlin and apparently they are neighbours, but im just thinking that one had come down from Sydney. ??

R33SkylineGtst: Nice to meet you too :)

Hope everyone who went to Coles Express on Wednesday got a free sausage roll...and then discovered who horrible they are.

If you guys want to do a around the town cruise, come to my work as I will give everyone who wants free coffee XD ...or hot chocolate.....I guess

spotted on Friday arvo an R32 being driven up the hill out of Queanbeyan (otherwise known as the suspension test track - wink wink), then turning around at the intersection of captains flat rd, giving it the bottle and hitting the limiter - not pretty... (yes, i know who was driving)

i suspect mine got the same when it was in... rev limit for my GTR next time it is there...

    • 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.
