Good Morning SAU Members:

Today I am here for a few reasons. Foremost, some time this year I am moving from Cairns to Perth and very specifically will be driving my R34 GT-t the whole way. If funds allow I will be picking up a R32 GT-R either when I reach Brisbane, or shortly before I leave Cairns.

This is an excellent opportunity for me to both meet many of you and also shoot many of your cars. The hope would be (on top of the documentary of the trip via GoPro) that I can make a nice album featuring all walks of Skylines over the entire country (exc. Tas, sorry). Obviously I’m hoping some of the high rollers will let me shoot some of the rarer Skylines, however everything in-between is just as important. I’d like everything from HR31’s, HNR32’s, ENR34’s, etc. Nothing is unwanted. Show level or drift pig.

My second wish is a longer shot. If anybody is willing to tag along for any part of the journey it would really complete the experience. Already I will have the ER34 and BNR32. For example, I hope to find at least a few Brisbane folks willing to do the BNE-SYD leg with me. (I’d probably consider marrying anybody who did the entire trip from BNE-ADE (cars are on trains from CNS-BNE/ADE-PER.).).

Since I don’t have a date set in stone I won’t try to coordinate any meetings just yet. However I would like to drum up some interest and gauge a feel for how many people would be willing to partake. Participation levels from simply letting me take a photo of your car all the way to packing up the car after the photo shoot and heading for W.A.

What I need: People looking to have some fun with their Skylines.

What I don’t need: People telling me an ER34 isn’t built for traversing Australia.

Thanks for your time guys. I hope to see you on the road!

Kindly,

Joshua Hellyer.

(Note: Only on the QLD forum for now. No point disturbing the other states until we get closer to departing QLD.)

Edit: Fixed format.

I've been planning to go see my family in Sydney in the next month or so. Once you got the firm dates would be really good to know, if all good I'll jump in my skyline with the missus and join the "convoy" from Brissy to Sydney and then I can catch up with family down there. More fun driving then flying :)

Nullabor is pretty special, lots of long straight road but still an amazing part of Aus.

Good road surface, speed is only 110 and policed would you believe it.

Don't travel early morning or evening due to the roos.

If you must travel at these times, sit back behing a semi and let him clear the path. Watch out for road kill flying off his wheels.

UHF is a must, just a hand held so you can chat with the truckies.

Fuel will be expensive and of suspect quality so don't go heavy with the foot.

    • I feel like I'm missing something. You had an authorised installer come out and install a new alarm. Post install the car doesn't start, and you aren't getting the installer back to fix what they did wrong?
    • So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you  
    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
