Thanks all for the awesome day! :) Glad I didn't end up getting lost :P

Good to meet people.

Loving the pics!

and yeah, keen for the next one :)

The guys with gopros (or similar) get any decent videos? some aaarrbbee noise? :)

I got a little bit of crappy in cabin footage but not alot of outside noise, mostly rattles and bumps. :/

Didn't get the whole cruise (unfortunately.) I forgot to set it up properly and actually set up the cam as we were driving. :wacko:

Yeah i don't think it came out that great. Lots of wind noise and besides that he said it just looks like a Golf going for a drive haha. Was the first time using it so i think he'll get it more finely tuned before something a bit more exciting like texi or wakie.

Yeah I always thought that would be an issue with external cameras. Might be worth getting a sound recorder aswell and mounting that somewhere else.. Might have a little better audio quality?

Hahaha, yeah most of mine looks like I was going for a drive behind a Golf, and then a Silver R33. Still kinda cool though.

and yeah, need to refine techniques. Might try a mini disc recorder for sound.

Hey! Nothing wrong with that silver r33 :P

Yeah disk recorder would work well I think.

I think this would be a good position for a recorder, but maybe tilt it up more..

Pretty much lol. If we pooled all the footage from different cameras you might be able to do a neat montage but as Shell said, mine looked like a Golf-driving-blonde that got caught up with some riff raff :P

So, I was asked by quite a few people if my car was a "J Car" No idea what that means.

Many years ago there was a guy named Jerry who owned a shop called J-Racing. Jerry had a brother named Johnny who also worked at J-Racing, whom originally owned a pretty cool looking Honda Civic. Johnny got rid of the Honda and started being spotted in a bright orange R33, which became known as the "J-Racing Skyline".

Johnny moved to Sydney and worked for Jetspeed, whom J-Racing got a lot of stock from.

Hence the questions about "is that the old J-Racing Skyline"? If it was the Jetspeed car then it is indeed the J-Racing Skyline.

Nothing bad, just some nostalgia for us older members from "back in the days". Good to see it back in the hands of a respectful owner :)

Edit: and it seems J-Racing still exist purely as a smash repairer and bodykit shop in Fyshwick.

Arhh, some light shredded ! Now I got the correct story of the car(:

Cheers ! Oldm8 Helga (Named already haha) has shown a different side to her at the cruise. I'm tempted to fix the rail damage and do it up, time and costs are involved. But, we'll see how we go.

(Might take it to Fyshwick smash repairs and see if they'll give me a friendly discount given it was their old car :D)

I accidentally deleted my footage from the weekend. That would have been exciting to watch haha.

Also, if you have a GoPro's on the outside of a car, we normally put tissues or foam to over the mics in the housing.

I have video footage... but im not very good at internet or computers.

If you want i can email to you

OR

    • 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.
