MRE, sorry about flicking a rock up on ya windscreen....

Hmm, i ended the day with 2 nice stone chips, one from MRe and one from Nizman i beleive...

also, the tip tronic is a bit farked now.... dont think it can quite handle the beating i gave it.

other than that.. good cruise, would have been good if everyone was going a bit harder (like mad mt 2) but hey. Also, the straight me and nizman found would have to be the best bit of road ever... hmm,, may go for a quick cruise there now :(

My best part was chasing down a Silver 33 and sitting behind him till my right indicator lens popped out.

:lol: yep that was me you were chasing, good run we had there until your indicator wanted out

That was a great way to finsih up owning a skyline, I will always remember Mad Mtn 2 as being the fastest and most challenging of them all. Thanks Dave for the use of the BBBQ and other implements.

Stone Chips were a problem for a few of us I'd say on this run, I have 2 new crows feet on the windscreen from a certain Scoob B4, some of those roads around northern NSW are a little to narrow and crappy for skylines dare I say :(

And to who ever I drove back to the coast with from Dave's in the white R33.....Real nice drivin!!:):(:) :) :D

Pics to come...

yes, your always welcome to use my implements karl.

The guy in the white 33 was sky|ine (ross). Doesnt come on the forums tho I dont think, only IRC.

sounds like you had some fun driving home too then.

also, msn me, i have worked out what boost im getting now. 10psi over 5k :(

good to hear guys

i will definatly be there for the next one

nizman u still got yah silver 33 i thought you were gunna sell it like 6-7 months ago

and compliments to daves driving..its not easy to get a skyline airborn at 210k's and not break anything :(

Thanks for the day guys...

pitty theres only a few straights, next time I'll have some sticky tyres. Just couldn't get traction until high up in 3rd. Turbo got hot enough to start cooking my abs. maybe I should run 15psi next time.

Japtaxi, your nutz :( I backed off cause I was getting airborne and you still have the loud pedal down! Nutter :)

Yeah Marko, still got it, I decided to wait until I had saved half the deposit on a house and then sell, and this time has come, that was my last cruise, I 've got new tyres, new brakes, 6 months rego & a road worthy. The car will be in Brisbane papers for the next four weeks.

Won't be advertising it here as everyone on the forums should know that 25K is too much for a auto GTSTR33.

was in a subaru b4.. true rally style. If I had the r33, i would have probably hit it at over 260km/h! Also, im sure my car would fall into peices if I try... which is what im going to be doing tomorrow :)

yep that was me you were chasing, good run we had there until your indicator wanted out

that was fun. Man I can kick myself for it pooping out on me. I had a whole lot rpms to go. I used you to make sure the way was clear :( that is why I eased off a bit. But that straight was the best. My baby wanted to take off so many times.

How about an impromptu meeting this saterday everyone

Well I'm annoyed i couldn't make it, but i wouldn't want to be pushing my car that hard at this stage anyway. Next time I think we should go for a sunday, maybe in the new year holidays or something as this time of year there's always things coming up.

Once I get my car back on the road (well, driving properly anyway) i'm gunna go do some scouting around mt glorious and nebo and look at getting another mt cruise going.

Hey guys...I don't get on the computer much anymore...so i'd like to meet some of u so i can find out whats happening...I'm coming to brissy on friday night...If any of u guys or girls can ring me then i'd love to meet up with u and chat....Hope to hear from u..Ph No. 0427734255

    • 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.
