It's funny Mik joked about it being a hillclimb... as a teenager I lived just down the road, and let's just say we spent a fair bit of time in that forest on the dirt roads learning some rally driving skills LOL

First day back at work after 10 or so days being sick (Unpaid leave, CURSE YOU). Anyways, first day back at work I decided to take the monring a bit easy and search for some Skyline reviews. The oldest review I have found is in 1999.

http://smh.drive.com.au/motor-news/250z-gtr-on-nissans-wish-list-20100823-13g9r.html

A good read.It's really interesting reading about such old cars to us, but reviewed as new back in the 90's.

R34 GTR coming to Australia: http://smh.drive.com.au/motor-news/nissan-ponders-gtr-20100823-13gn0.html

#@Sinista32 The Skyline GT-R wont be cheap. In Britain, the price is 50,000; if it happens here, Nissan Australia will be setting the price around $140,000. I remember us trying to find some cost figures for the R34 GT-R on it's release.

I've tried to find some Drive.com.au articales about the R32 GTR when it first featured or even in pre-production but I'm guessing Drive.com.au wasn't around then.

jeremy Clarkson from top gear did a review of the r32 when it first released. The video is on youtube. It's an interesting watch.

P.S good to see the public servant here is working the hardest in the office today.

Yeah seen that video. Pretty interesting that's for sure. I hate reading, but was looking forward to it.

p.s The work I do in an hour probably admits to your work in a week :P. I work hard when I need to, I also take advantage of slower times in my day ;) Work smarter ! Not harder !

you coming out to a Friday meet soon?

haha I know exactly who that was. He has the car back (so people can chauffeur him in it lol), but license will remain suspended of course. He was busted on the way back from Sydney after an impulse drive up there for the weekend after a rather serious shitstorm with his housemate(s).....was really late Sunday night (hence it being told as "Monday" as it technically was lol), so at least it wasn't during the day when there's traffic....and yes, I realise you can't excuse it :P

He drives (or drove, lol) a Mitsubishi 380. Never usually drives aggressively, so it was definitely a once off that he unfortunately got caught for LOL

That's amazing news ! As I'm sure everyone here obeys the road rules. Police Targeting Modified cars was a horrid month (Whenever those RTA cars with cops going around). Speaking of which. I spotted a RTA / Cop setup stop thingy near Gunners. 4 cops and 2 RTA cars - saw one cop speed off with sirens and as I was passing I gave them a bit of my JDM PSSSSSCH, cops head's turned thinking "there goes our one of our monthly statistics !" as I drove off into the sunset :D

Chris, your taxpayers dollars are being well spent on my SAU browsing :P

I knew of someone who did 180 in a 60km/h in Newcastle. Sped got his license taken away and car as well. Complete moron he was.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By MBS206 · Posted

      The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛

      Hmm not really, I'd say its race car life or modified car life when you make 3 or 4 times the power Nissan designed the car for lol.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By Duncan · Posted

      I'll let others with more breakage chime in, but I can't think of anyone who had a problem with the standard centre plate before they had a problem with the standard gears - the plate generally just gets replaced for safety when the gearset is upgraded. As for the gearsets, its not like they are OK at 600Nm and break at 601. Their longevity is a combination of how much torque you are making and how gentle you are on shifts (or not).
