Nice work on doing it. I know so many people who are too scared to try this kind of stuff.

When I did it I loved it too. I think I must have had a blank spot in my memory (total fear / panic?) as the free fall bit was over so quickly. Then there was the long glide down to Earth where you're just thinking "I just jumped out of a plane!" :cheers:.

well i dunno, but im one of those that wouldnt try jumping outta a plane

my teacher scared me off with saying "if u jump out of a plane high enuf, and travel at a really fast speed, ur body will explode before it hits the ground," thats wat the mach speed does to ya anyways....soo...ill be fine on the ground

I think the terminal velocity is about 150 km/h. Nowhere near the mach. The air slows you down within the first couple of seconds.

I ve done it in Wollongong, over the beach. It was awesome. I was screaming "F**K YEAH, YEAH!!!! THIS IS AWESOME!!!". The scariest part for me was the ascent in the plane, it was so small, tightly packed, with a little fiberglass door.... But it was worth it.

Cool, whered you do it and how much?...

Its my birthday soon and I wanted to do it....:(

hahah i did it at Picton... 20 mins from liverpool on the Hume Hwy (m5) it on the way to canberra...

cost me $308 to do tandem....next jump (tandem) is $215 and the one after is a bit cheaper still. But if you do a course you can jump by yourself. The course is 9 stages and total costs is approx $1500( that includes 9 jumps) but you can still do your first jump by yourself with your own parachute with 2 instructors either side of you

oh and it was 14000ft when i went.

and as for the getting married bit.. umm not anytime soon.. i think anyway...

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in?

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
