Rowan can you give us nervous folk a run down of the police activity tomorrow? I'm guessing they've been notified but what's the guarantee they're not just gonna block off the exits and go crazy with the stickers?

I know if you don't drive like a douche, 99/100 times you'll be fine, but I think we all know what cops are like when it comes to Jap cars...

Worried enthusiast is worried.

so I'm thinking of taking my gtr and my mate would like to come in his car.. anyone know if there would there be any objections to a corvette coming to this?

i know they are pick and choosing cars to go on the island, if its not jap then it needs aproval. PM Mr Eps (Rowan) and ask.

The cops have been notified but they said they will stay away unless there is hoon behavior. Photos will be taken at the event and anyone playing up , the photo will be handed over to the men in blue

Just dont drive up to the second round about and go in the other way. Lots of nice cars out there but.

p.s. the locals are twats, apparently 40 is to fast and some tool thinks its funny to pull out right in front of you, sit in the middle of the road and put his seatbelt on.

Excellent event guys, lots of interesting cars there. Not quite All Japan Day (Adelaide) but not far off. Some constructive criticism though (for next year)...

1) Need more than 1 toilet for 300+ people (gold coin donation for toilet use maybe??)

2) Person cooking BBQ needs to be cooking before 11:30am! (Maybe just get some mobile food vans - they'd clean up I reckon).

I find the cops frustrating picking on cars for doing nothing wrong (I'm sure it happened). I thought everyone driving in was perfectly well behaved.

All in all a great event, next year will be even better! Thanks for organising :thumbsup:

great day out, cept for the poor person that got ran into leaving the second sor meeting point. not sure what happened as everyone went two different ways.

popo had a good stare at me but that was all :sick: . Had the helicopter over so may be on the news tonight

Didn't get stickered, showed him permit for cage, then he said ok and pointed out my exhaust was illegal (aftermarket), but let me off... Lucky.

Sounds like I left at the right time before things got nasty...

its coming soon, hopefully in august :thumbsup:

what did they get u for jimmy

Looks like a good turnout. Slept in way too late today, hopped online & saw cops were handing out yellows... decided not to go, really don't need the hassle ATM. I hate that our tax money is wasted when these guys should be after real criminals & actual shitty cars that aren't maintained at all.

*awaits hoon report on channel 9*

    • 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.
