Hello Mates -  

I am an exchange student from Boston, Massachusetts USA and I will be studying at the University of NewCastle between February 10th and July 5th. I have NEVER seen a skyline in person and I would KILL for a ride. If anyone would be nice enough this would honestly make this yanks day. Please email me at [email protected] if you would be nice enough! ALSO I have AIM: Screen name - OneDollarShrimp

Thanks!

if only i was american

if only i was american
LMAO, WHY??????? :cheers:

Just take one look at the US and then Australia... I'll give you a good example why it's better to be an Aussie... WE GOTS DA SKYLINES!!!! :) They might have the bomb, but hell, we still got the 'Lines.

I seriously think we should get onto this ride day idea, it'd be a good day out. Invite some charities, rent a track or somewhere, people who bring GTRs get in free (coz they'll be playing chauffer all day), charge admission and a free ride in a GTR and BBQ, and give any profits to the charities. If anything, it makes the day of a few little kids who need some cheering up.

It's not actually that bad of an idea...

Bit of good press, some money to charity...

The Godzillathon - Brown-underpants for charity day.

Hmmm...

Had a rally club open day where for $10 to charity the locals could come along for 2 rides in rally cars, everthing from datto 1200's to Evos. One guy got the ride of his life when the newly finished S2 rx7 flipped onto its roof...ouch. Best 10 bucks he ever spent.

I'm having withdrawals...no go fast car, just a stock 'line and soarer. Can someone take me for a ride in a GTR...it's been years, honest.

PranK you a downhill shredding dude? Or is the dually just for the northern beaches? (yep thread hijack) Sand must be a bastard :D in the cassette. Roadie myself. Giant of course. 02 TCR Team ONCE. Worth a squillion apparently. Carbon forks 1.1kg. Alloy Frame 0.7 kg...feels like papier mach'e.

So back to cars

Wow I cant wait to get to Australia...this is going to be AWESOME you guys are all so nice. I am going to be in Cairns (I need to learn how to pronounce that word) for orientation for 3 days..and i have 2 nites off...anyone out there that can give this bugger a ride?

SKYLINE FEVER

Were abouts are you staying in cairns an when you coming over ??

also what days will you be here?

(I live in Cairns) :D

Are talking smokey and the bandit style? lol :rofl:

"Godzilla Vs The Cops: Riding a 'line from Cairns to Coolangatta... the long way"

:wassup:

Kinda reminds you of that underground movie of the Ferrari going through Paris (anybody remember the name of that?)

Maybe we could get Nissan to fund this like they did "The Run" with the new Z??? lol

If you go into newcastle foreshore for the laps and you see my plates: DJ984... then flag me down and i'll take you for a lap...

I'm not there everyweekend and my car's not a GTR but feel free to flag me down...

Cheers,

Dave.

This is the coolest thing I have ever had happen to me...if I went on a Ferrari or Porsche board in the States people would be like "get a job and earn a ride" - you guys kick ass. I will be in Australia Feb 5th through July 3rd. And YES I am all for a "Chasing the Skyline down the Coast" roadtrip. I WISH I could say I have even seen a skyline in person..the closest I came was when I almost drove 4.5 hours to New York City to the MTV studios where they were auctioning off a Skyline for some movie...I am in LOVE with skylines...feed my addiction. I will buy beer/women/fuel for the driver :(

I do a pretty good job of scaring my ass here in the states, I got a 1996 Nissan Maxima thats pushing about 300 HP at the wheels...BUT I would LOVE to be scared by a screaming turbo and white smoke pouring of the rear tires of a beautiful skyline...ahhh to be in love.

    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
