these photos of the cape otway lighthouse are from a couple of years ago when me and the wife were camping in apollo bay. it was farkin' windy that day. had to hold onto my glasses so they didn't blow off!!!. it's a pity we weren't able to go this time around. it really is a great place. there's a couple of war bunkers there too.

maybe next time. although the road leading to it and the car park are pretty shit. and you have to pay to get in.

I think it hit the window.

I think it is fair to say that Ash is fully to blame for the M&M hitting your car.....

I threw it at him, but he had to do his "slow down time thing, and matrix out of the way" imersonation, leaving your car open to such projectiles. Do you see Goalies in the World Cup dodge the ball? NO. Ash was weak and let his team down.....

:laugh:

Tahts the biggest load of spew i've heard from your chops.

Even the stuff on Sat night about sneaking into my bed doesnt compare to the above :)

I thought you were throwing "anti-lag" at Paul?

hey guys

havent read the thread coz im exhausted, but i will do tomorrow....

the pics ive seen so far in here are great, and nice zoom work on the 1 of me leaving the motel tharaka....lol

i left for qld on the 5th, so could only stay for the first day, but had a great time driving on the GOR...hadn't ever been on it before, but it was good fun.

I cruised back with a black 33 behind me, not sure who you were but that made it slightly more enjoyable, even though we had that tosser in front of us in his rice box lol....

My mrs had a great time talking nursing with ya tash, so i'd say you two will probably catch up at the next event you're both at :D

and going back to the first page....Al's comment to nate, love your work Al....couldn't have said it better myself.

Here I was sitting on 100kph on a straight that was about 15 km long and I had a XR8 Ute come from nowhere and pass me I estimate the speed he passed me at was around 220 kph

ah yes, those back roads. dead straight, for the most part, dead flat. and as u mentioned, very long. affectionately known as the "top speed test road" :P good on you though for sticking to 100. Especially in a skyline, i guess its different on an organized cruise of course.

Yeah that was me :yes:

always good to have someone doing the GOR with ya that's for sure. But I'm with you - that Exa was holding us up a little too much hehe

holding you up maybe, but my cars got stock suspension and piss weak thin stocky tyres...add that to being the first time i've been on the GOR and i was going plenty fast....was trying to let you get past, but i dont think you're as crazy (stupid) as that guy in the 4wd that passed 4 cars (inc. us 2) on that blind turn!

lol...yeah i remember that guy. He was up my arse for a while there and even flashed his high beams at me once or twice. I was like "?? What the hell do you want me to do?!"

ah well - nice drive nonetheless...

    • Starting with issues 1 - 5, we have already run into a problem...!  Issue #4 contained 2x front brake calipers, instead of 1 caliper and 1x steering knuckle. Will have to call DeAgostini on Monday to sort it out. Anyway here's some photos.  Issue #1 is the front bumper, headlights and number plate. Issue #2 is the front wheel (with "We produced with spartan air." text on the centre cap!) and tyre, the front lip spoiler and cylinder head cover with ignition coils under the centre cover... which will never be seen again. Issue #3 is the bonnet and cylinder head. Issue #4 is the front strut, brake disc (with laser etched metal discs) and brake caliper. I stopped here because of the issue with the missing steering knuckle.  Next update will be #5 - #10 in a few weeks.
    • DeAgostini is one of a few companies that release quite large (the largest commonly available size actually) 1/8 scale models in a series of weekly issues over 100 - 110 instalments.  They release different models for different markets and DeAgostini Japan have release the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo last month. I've made two of these 1/8 scale sized cars (one an R35 GT-R from 2012 - 2014, the other I'm just about halfway through, a BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the 2Fast 2Furious movie) so when this R32 was announced there was no way I could ignore it as it's my favourite out of all Nissans.  Each issue costs around $20 so it costs about $2.2K when completed. I suppose it is very expensive for what it is, but the quality and details are really very good, and there are many "gimmicks" like fully functioning exterior and interior lights operated with a remote control, working steering, all doors/bonnet/boot/fuel lid open and close, the side mirrors fold in and it even has a speaker for the engine revving sounds when you turn the lights on.  Each issue comes with a magazine that tells the story of the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo from the first design stages of the BNR32 to Group A homologation and the various racing version that were run in the Japanese Group A and JGTC, and Australian Group A.  So I plan to update the build in this thread 5 issues at a time.  https://deagostini.jp/r32/?srsltid=AfmBOooKjxDc4EUK2rmXqMBPgyHfFJ24s4oEPJBNpnF-lFlsRoW0PE6P
    • As per title.. has anyone used so far? Keen to hear results, comparisons. In the market for a new mani for my new turbo. Any issues cracking?
    • Re read everything that has been written about this in this thread.. Let us know if you're still confused.
    • This would be a new pump with new gears. I'm just unclear on whether it's a good idea to run more oil pump flow if you don't actually need said flow. Oil level is set a minute or so after shutting off a warm engine so wouldn't the high RPM oil level in the sump end up lower all things equal? Plan is OEM clearances, main concern in my mind is whether the OEM pump can keep up with the flow requirements of any additional oil coolers.
