Hey guys, just saw a story on 60 minutes about BASE jumping, and it really makes me want to go skydiving again, just thought id see if anyone else wants to go (its cheaper the more people that go). I was thinking of going in a couple of weeks on a saturday or sunday when im not working.

As far as cost goes, last time i went in a group of 5, it cost $250ish for the jump plus $90 for the video (damn expensive video, but ya gotta get the video of your first jump)

So yeah, just looking for EOI at the moment, and ill make a few calls during the week sometime

I did my first jump about 2 months ago and I'm doing my second in two weeks time.

I would recommend that everyone should do it at least once, it is probably the coolest thing I have done!

after this jump I'll be sweet for the course and my first solo jump - that should be duckin scary! gets a fair bit cheaper one you have your solo licence - jump for about $30 if you have your own chute.

Go do it!

wow thats really cheap! how much would it cost to buy a chute?

i'd rather use one thats provided by the proffesionals, i hardly trust myself to put a shirt on the right way, let alone pack the only thing stopping me from hitting the ground at a 200kms/ph

Not trying to put anyone off, but driving back from Sydney a month ago, driving past that skydiving place just outside of Sydney on the highway there were a heap of peeps doing the drop. The scary thing was we saw one person whose 'chute wouldn't open properly really close to the highway. They swung over to the side and landed just out of view, but they hit the ground pretty hard. Chute never opened properly.

    • Kinda glad I never got to this ..    https://www.facebook.com/groups/1483859159195077
    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
