There are at least 6 skylines in Darwin but at the present they still seem to be relatively exclusive. I was the second person in Darwin to purchase an R33 GTS25t back 3 years ago. There are probably more because there is a continuous coming and going of young army recruits bringing them up.

For the person that was asking about the best place to speed well if you are sitting in the middle of Darwin you drive 30 to 40km's down the stuart highway until you see a sign with a white background and a black circle with a black line through it diagonally. At that point you would be doing 100kph in 5th and all you do is to push your accelarator to the floor until you are screaming along in fifth. My only problem is i have a standard 180kph speedo and all that i can tell you is that i have had it wrap around to zero and then some. I would guess i was doing around 240kph (screaming along in 5th). Once i slowed down i found that one of the plastic ferrings in front of the drivers side front wheel had been forced against the front wheel and had melted. Neat huh.

hahaha this week you can grab it, probably tuesday or wednesday!

As for the exclusive part i dont think its so much as exclusive, its just the smarter people dont go around cruising and harassing others on the road with PCHHST noises in the window like the other fools on the road.

And some of us are picked on by the cops for having a loud car..... but thats only when the external gate opens up :)

Our fuel up here is at best PULP 98RON i think (103.9c/L). I get the best results with BP PULP and the worst with Woolworths Plus Petrol PULP.

We dont get the same luxuries you guys down south get, shell optimax (droool).

Low RON fuel plus high ambient temperature is not the best combination but we get by.

I read yesterday they are going to charge people who drive dangerously ie to fast for the situation (in the no limits area) !!!!

As for the speed cut i just installed an Apexi PowerFC!

:(

      CD009 RB Conversion

      Just wanted to pop in an update on my setup. The CD swap has been great, I love the mazworks housing for the overall simplicity. I ended up sealing my trans tunnel with a thin sheet of aluminum reused some of the holes on the trans tunnel, and laid some window sealing EPS foam around the edges. Works great, really quieted things down and sealed up the car.  As for the power comment. Right now I am also running about 650whp. with the way the bell housing is attached to the face of the transmission I have zero doubts it would be fine, mainly because the input shaft and main shaft bearings are seated into the bell housing adapter. This means the load is NOT on the bolts to maintain the power, rather into he casing of the bell housing; Yes the bolts are doing some work there, but with both shafts locked in zero worries.  End of the day, the Mazworks solution is the easiest and safest. no need to take your trans to a shop to get milled perfectly, it fits with minimal clearancing, and you can use all your existing clutch and flywheel.  Driving wise the CD has been great compared to the big box, I'll probably swap my final drive at some point. The serial 9 shifter is gooooood, my only qualm is how tight it is, it takes a fair bit to get use to, 5th and 6th are a bit eh/hard to find at times, but maybe I need re-adjusting, and I think my clutch master is very tired and needs a rebuild.

      If you are keen, have a look at my build thread. Car is for sale for the right money or straight swap for a F80 M3 LCI.

      Welcome mate.  No point in over thinking it, buying any one of those cars you mentioned is not a smart or logical choice with the availability of many "better" (re price to performance) cars available to you.  The heart wants what the heart wants, buy whatever it leads you too.

      Hey everyone! Im so grateful to be apart of this community and ill do my best to be apart of this. Firstly, i'm not disclosing my real name due to in real life circumstances surrounding my privacy and public image (sorry lol) Secondly, The only thing personal I am willing to share is that I'm from Sydney and a descendant of one of Sydneys largest mortgage firms. I got gifted my first ever car, a 2022 Porsche Cayenne and I love it to death. Ive been driving it for about 5 or 6 months now and honestly Im so grateful for my parents for gifting me this vehicle. However recently I've been working my ass off to afford my second car (which I need help deciding soooooo community help me out please?). Once decided, im planning to try modify it myself. Recent I've been thinking about getting a Skyline, particularly a 25GT or GT-V, yes I know overrated as hell, but I'm also considering a Chaser which I recently came to love. However my dream is to one day own a 180SX (So hard to find clean versions and im not really into importing).  Lastly before I send this off, I want to apologize if I sound tacky or pretentious. I try not to and want to genuinely learn from everyone and anyone. (Im no expert in this area) Thanks for reading!
