More than likely, there is a dark blue one that hangs out in Qbn, I've seen it often parked at Riverside Plaza ... cant imagine someone coming from somewhere else to go to Riverside Plaza. But regardless hope you had a good trip to the coast.

I'd just got a new camera and needed to change my prospective photo opportunities, so headed to where the water is :yes:

Where did you go? I was at Murramarang. I was definitely where the water is.... in a beachfront cabin :P

Man I remember the days in sydney that people would blow the horn and chuck a u turn just to have a chat.

I had some guy eye-balling me at the petrol station one day. He was driving a Holden VE and kept looking at me, so I looked the other way to try and not start some "ricer vs muscle" thing at the Servo. He walked in front of my car looking at Rosie so I just looked around. As this guy walked out after paying for his fuel he looks at me again, this time I got the balls to look at him and ready for something to go down... he looks at me and says "Nice ride man". to which I said "Cheers" hestitently haha

Most days I get people give me a thumbs up or a "Fat burnout" sign so I guess the Skyline is still recognised. However, I lose my marbles when I see a R34 GTR / R35 GTR - such awesome cars.

lols. The R34 GTR /R35 is no different to the other two for their day. Infact the 32 is probably the most special of them all =D. After all it did have the quickest 0-100 time :wub: (excluding 2009 onwards :whistling: ) All about perspective mate.

One day the R34 will be worth sub 30 or even 20k, same with the nissan GTR. It's just how it works.

lols. Given the R34 GTR is the last "Skyline" may linger a lot longer. Besides, it all comes down to personal perspective. I think the R34 GTR looks insane and the engineering for the R35 GTR is beyond gob smack. I will be a "Classics" man soon once the R34 GTR is outdated - but then agian, it's still a beast on todays roads.

Oh i agree. Just saying they are no more special than the others. Also the R35 hits 5 years next year. We will begin to see a shitload imported from japan. That will drive the price down and the 34's will drop hugely as well.

Im waiting on the 34 to drop to sub 30 and ill buy one as a daily.

Each have their own strengths and weakness - all are amazing I just take a liking to the R34 for the lines.

I'm guessing there is an import law saying you cannot import new cars? (I.e the R35 being able to be imported?) In that case, that would be amazing. Wanting to pick up an R34 GTR in the next coming of years and if they drop in price becuase the R35 comes out.. then I'm cheering ! I couldn't care for resell value.

it isn't us. It's Japan. because of the pollution there they have strict laws. Over 5 years they pretty much have to get rid of them. The R35 you can pick up for around 100k now, let alone when they bring them over.

I used to practically live at Tomakin on weekends, my ex's parents lived there :D Tomakin Sports and Social Club was the bomb! (well you know, for the south coast :laugh: ). We used to buy bottles of champers for pretty much the same price as a bottlo.

    • 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.
