Saturday morning/lunchtime spotted 2 maroon R33's, on both occasions drivers were clearly looking down texting while driving and didn't see me wave. Switch on ya idiots, if you stack into a tree it'll be another kick in the nuts for performance/modified vehicles cos seriously who's guna see a skyline wrapped around a tree and think "i bet they were driving safely and not speeding".

I had another sweet road rage incident haha.

Had a commonwhore follow me down Barton highway sitting I close for my liking.

Did the old tap on the brakes and slowed to about 60 in 100k zone but they still wouldn't over take.

Ended up finally flying past me on double line with a huge puff of smoke

extra attention from the Po Po for a while, like there's not enough already.

I hate hoons bringing this down on enthusiasts.

Time and time again it kills me to see the 'car enthusiasts' they interview - were they ever to interview a proper enthusiast or come to a proper event, and write a story without putting a bad spin on it from the beginning, things would be a different story.

I know! Why do they always pick such total dumbarses?!

We've talked many times about inviting them to one of the bigger, properly organised events in Sydney (such as the Anniversary Cruises for example) but we just don't trust them!

At the end of the day, we'd have NO SAY on how the story is run. And we all know what that means! It's better to try to keep our name away from them altogether.

After working in the media for 20+ years my best advice is ...... Don't do it.

Journalists will rarely do the story you want to tell, they will do the story that will be the most sensational regardless Of how many facts get bent, twisted or completely blown apart. There is a simple equation .. News must get ratings, ratings equals viewers/readers/listeners, which equals a demand for advertising which of course equals money .. And that's all that counts.

No one will want to watch a story about a bunch of Skyline drivers cruising, sticking to the speed limit and drinking milkshakes, so the journos don't want to know about that stuff. Show the public a story of a group of people that everyone from 9 to 90 should fear, in screaming turbo charged visions of death doing burnouts, now there's an attention getter (even bigger when you chuck in a few P platers)

Tread very carefully using journalists to get recognition, think about who or what they are working for first.

    • 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.
