Just wondering, who here is aiming to attend this event?

Open to all vintages - Is a SAU group attending? Sorry haven't been on for a while.........

For the record, I'm attending in the (r34's old) DR30 (my HR31 is no go just yet).

Cheers,

Mike.

Hey Mike,

Thought you might have been at Hanging Rock on Sunday - it was a great day!

I'll be at Dandy showgrounds - and am taking a couple of cars. We should have around 15 Prince's there all up - 1 of each model GT, Gloria Wagon, Gloria Sedan, Prince Skyline 1500 Estate, KGC10 GT-R Replica (although it is staying on the back of the truck) and the only 1st gen Skyline.

Should be a great day!!! Hope the weather holds up!!!!

See you & Julie there :thumbsup:

Hey Jason,

Ahhh there's nothing like a couple of good Princes on show...... Spot on.

Yeah sorry we didn't turn up, we've done H/Rock the last few years and decided on a break this time round. How'd the Roo Stampede go?

Mike.

howdo,

You're keeeen, excellent. The DR count may have just increased! I think I read you're running down with r31club - feel free to join us -ndsoc if that's not the case. Sure Jason can fill you in on the details.

Yes I've been copping a bit of sh#t for not attending H.R. I guess I got to the stage where the amount of Mustangs in my diet caught up with me, needed a year off to help with digestion!

RE: the rock and mustangs,

yeah I feel your pain, but tehers heaps of the cool things there!

Its abit of a tradition I go down there now, the old man has a few toys.

Wasnt really going to cruise down with the R31 guys, just a solo cruise down.

Should try get the R30's together again.

And woot, Im now on club rego :devil:

NDSOC are meeting at Keysborough Macca's for a 9am departure. Prince guys will be there earlier to set up and unload a couple of trailers......

CSA also have a good number going....

Should be a big day!!

Im a maybe now, unless I can get a new reinforced sump on the fj,

copped a good hit in the hills and got some oil pump whine :yucky:

I did this the oil pressure stayed a little lower too. i beat it back out (space for the pickup..causes noise/starvation) i braced mine with checker plate!

it was not overly hard in the end

Marc,

its a straightfoward job, have a welder, would rather get another sump preped for a quick swap as i cant have the car out of action.

thanks for the offer cazz, but would to like to buy one :)

I might take it as is, and plan the route there avoiding shitty roads.

Looking like a good r30 turnout :cheers:

    • 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.
