Ahhh welcome to the wasteland. Have to have another cruise soon when the weather is a bit more promising.

He was killed in the truck or by a truck?

Yeah not great weather for cruising, we should do Kinglake and surrounds sometime?

He was driving a truck and left the road.

Some good routes up there, I'd be up for it. However, of recent it's a known hotspot for the popo / yellow sticker people...so the more modified of us might not be so keen. Will have a chat with Tony and see what we can do.

Sad shit that, that you can be minding your own business without a worry in the world and in the next 10 seconds you're dead through no actions of your own.

These are the thoughts that bikelinesaustralia put up with everytime we ride.

That's what I said! Truck driver probably won't get anything either

So sad

Current brake set up is F242/Rdrums right. Should me buy brakes from vtec that are F262/R239 that'll be $500. Or wait out for Type R F282/R262 that will be 5lug (means have to buy new wheels/tyres) and would cost $1k for the brakes alone.

I wont be tracking this thing as of yet, but it'll be nice to get rid of the drums. Do some deca's ect.

Leaning towards the F262/R239 4x100. Which I can go pick up right nao.

take a lesson from all the old skyline owners here. Dont spend money on parts you dont need, Get out on the track/deca first and then decide what needs to be done.

Everyone falls into the trap of building track cars for a hypothetical track day sometime in the future.

Get out there now, find the limits with current setup, then replace to push the limit further.

if it was human error / fatigue i say put him away for 40 years cos that shits f**ked - shouldn't be able to wipe someone out and get away with it

Haha I knew you'd say that...almost done.

Good call on the weather...deceiving shit.

can't wait til i am in le position in which i can afford both my car and a bike!

meanwhile in my current situation... coilpacks so expensive fffuu :P

You never win, when you are in le position there will always be more expensive things to get.

My r32 was better off when I was a student on casual wages. Now its all about budgeting & being serious with money :(

    • 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.
