Not much mate, but always keen to catch up with interstate fellow SAUer's and make them feel welcome. Let us know the dates you are here and we might do a little meet-up near the city or something. Always keen to check out other R34s :P

There's the North Adelaide Food & Wine Festival on 2nd, and in the middle of the month (15th - 17th) is the Oakbank Racing Carnival.

Other than that there's the generic SA visits:

- Barossa

- Victor Harbour

- etc.

My folks always find summin to do when they visit from Melb, they've seen more of the state than i have. :)

Hey wogboy , mick has left tilbrooks and gone back to the east coast I think . Was a falling out I hear. Mark ain't going anywhere though. You will have to check out one of the best roads though, Up gorge onto northeast back down to tea tree gully, Great scenery and plenty of turns. :D

Spoke to Mark today and he said it would be great to see you again. Is your son coming aswell?

By the way, misspelt road. {gorge road} :P

Is only a quick trip up it {used to do the trip in 15mins flat out late at night!} but is a nice cruise if you take it slow aswell.

Anyway , hope the weather's good while your here and you have a good time cruzing our little town. :P

    • @Dose Pipe Sutututu I would argue that >300rwkW inevitably comes only with a raised boost threshold that makes it more likely to get beaten by the family SUV with a 95 speed auto transmission and TD torque. Ditto the traction problems when it finally does come on boost. I used to love my stock turbo. A little flex of the ankle and it made a sweet little whistle and you had torque immediately. It wasn't fast fast, but it was more likely to win the "squirt to make the gap" type races that actually matter for a street car. I think >300 rwkW requires more capacity than an RB25 can offer (again, for street driving). I have enough experience with driving 2JZs in that space to know that they are much easier to pedal around in than a 25. I keep thinking Greg did the right thing putting a V8 is his car. I can't see myself not having a turbo - but I'd really like a big engine torque curve.
    • This is kinda how I see it also. Could drill down then into sub tags. 
    • Let's be honest here @GTSBoy 250kW in a GTS-t would easily get walked by my a family SUV these days. 300kW is the sweet spot, fast enough to keep up with the modern German cars (not from a stand still), fun enough and the motor still can be stock/unopened. Realistically, 400kW is a good number. It's enough to give you cold sweats, still be very street able in terms of the power band (provided you're not an idiot and go single scroll and delete VCT) and only needs a very basic rebuild (or stock if you have a NEO motor). Anything more, it starts to be stupid.
    • Deals off now apparently https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02-13/honda-and-nissan-say-merger-talks-called-off/104934438 Hopefully Nissan closes up soon and the family X-Trail becomes a classic too!
    • The west where I live is swarming with birds, not wrong they are bloody loud. In the meantime, do a DIY killswitch - $5 worth of things from jaycar, easy as too. The west is copping it with car theft lately, especially the big shopping centres.
