Very soon, I need to pick up someone from the airport (85 kms from home) - and it's preferable that I use the Skyline.

My 'Line bodykit is legally over the 100mm height limit (- just) but after testing out the domestic airport drive-thru' with my daily, I recognise that the lip of my 'Line, even at an angle, may not survive a thorough scraping. Here ends the rant!

Can anyone tell me that Sir Charles Kingsford Smith Drive has done damage to your front lip?

Might as well make use of this thread if you think it's worth mentioning > warning others of "Vicious Speed Humps" on secondary or main roads in your area too, do you think?

How about listing...

a) state/territory

b) suburb/town

c) street name

Might be a silly suggestion after all, if there are too many - even tho' I can edit. I seem to recall stuffing up my front spoiler on my Alfetta GTV many years ago too from a Maitland cross-street.

NSW, Canterbury Rd, Canterbury, coming from Campsie towards Canterbury, in the left hand lane past a car wash and petrol station, a bit further down there is a really really steep ditch in the ground, no warnings nothing, just where the road collapsed, nearly took my front bumper off, been like that for over 2 years now.

NSW, Cronulla, Cronulla St/ Nicholson Pde going towards cronulla station, random bump on the road, where if you have coilovers or hardened springs/ shocks, your car will jump or fly. and if lowered, will hit ground.

"DANGEROUS" NSW, Lewisham, Old Canterbury Rd/Longport Rd, when going towards parramatta rd, right at the traffic lights of those 2 streets, a HUUUGE bulge in the road, i hit it with 50 while the speed limit was 60, on stock stagea suspension and all my indicator sticks on the side of my steering wheel got knocked down. BEWARE OF THAT BULGE!!!!!!!!!

none of these places have any warning signs etc you have to find out the hard way. so beware!

NSW...

Mascot

Middlemiss St.... do not ever go down this street... its a backstreet off Botany Road and you WILL lose your exhaust in the process...

Rolfe St .... It is not a speed hump it is mount everest.... do not even attempt the hump on this street

Stay away from Mascot in general.... the humps here are gg

VICTORIA

Fountain gate, fountain gate shopping center in the underground carpark....

....ouch, not only did i not see one and hit it hard with stiff suspension, but i did it a second time shortly after, i slapped myself

    • Impossible to remove the housing while turbo is installed on the manifold on the engine. So I have to do it anyways. I plugged it so there will not be any debris in there. Will vacuum aswell 
    • would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)    
    • 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
