Duncan...

Abbo Cove ???

Call me - I'll PM you my mobile number.

That way you can be the first to get a copy...

Video Party at Duncans this weekend perhaps ??

skylinegeoff....

I don't think it will be publically available to purchase. I think your best bet will be to convince a competitor to lend you their copy.

I watched it again last night (Duration is actually increased to about 53:30mins as they added even more footage). - it's a great compilation - Kel gets a good wrap from Daniel Gibson at wakefield with the top down "looking cool" when it was about -4 degrees.

Sooo... What do you guys think about the DVD ???

I'll email you the cover image you can print out if you like - as they have not come back from the printer yet.

PM me your email address and i'll email it to you.... - that way you can print it out on a colour Printer, (100% on A4) and trim the page.

Kel,

Sorry I didn't recognise you at first when you came over to collect the DVD's - I was in another world as we had to get Jade's Torana up and running as it was gettig a magazine photo shoot that afternoon.

Its excellent :) and even better that you guys could source DVD :D.

I was hoping to see move coverage of our cars in the extra footage, there was a little more for Kel....but I think I'm being greedy now lol.

email for the covers is [email protected], thanks.

I didn't realise the torana was Jade's! must be a hell of a handful to drive....which mag was the photoshoot for?

Extreme Magazine..

Yeah,

It's Jade's little baby.

I've only driven it once as I can't do up the harnesses and from my little drive, It's pretty quick, lethal in the wet with absolutely no traction to speak of.

Funny thing is, the car has basically sat for the last 2 - 3 years and not been driven, then the call comes for some current photos and it's panic stations... Still a fair bit of work to be done on it and the photoshoot was kinda rushed as it was over heating so we couldn't get all the shots we wanted..

He guys - got the Vic Dutton competitor listing in the mail last night.

84 cars in total - 23 of them are porka's.

The good news is there are 3 gtrs to take up the challenge.

One of them is driven by Steven Gleeny, the second is driven by Jeff Beable and the final one is driven by some guy no one has ever heard of before! LOL.

So my new objective is to

a) beat those 2 in at least one event (could be dreaming!)

B) sign them up as members for the new SAU Vic! :devil:

2 weeks to go - can't wait. Finally get my gearbox back today after the car has been out of action for the last 9 weeks.

    • 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.
