new GOR posted in events.

Don't think there are any long vid's though.

And i'm pretty sure nark was the only one with Video... Phat 32 had a flatt battery (lost of use that was) LOL

should make better use of them... good vid's could come outta some of those spots (specially through the otways top with the fog)

very fun i might add :D

but following that mobile dunny truck for a while sucked!

and seeing the flames come out the zorst was cool. :)

Poyz: Yeah :) Was fun.

Seeing the 32 GTR in my mirrors was pretty cool - we scared a few other cars which caused much amusement.

Being passed by 2 GTRs like you are going backwards must be great for the brown pants industry.

inark: Don't mean to be a code-cop, but the reason your images aren't working is your slashes go the wrong way. Windows (DOS) likes '' but HTTP likes '/' so they don't work on my Mac.

Can you fix? Would like to see the photos :)

oooh your gonna cop it now! :)

all speeds were adhered to. even the ones on the GOR which said 100 followed by a few sharp turns :D

James: My brother told me Ula was driving like a pansy throughout most of it.

Could have something to do with the fact he once had to get his car towed home from Lorne. He can fill you in when he reads this post and abuses me over the phone.

Lucky for him my brother and I had our cars to go on an interesting drive on the way back home in the dark. Those corners come plenty fast in the dark, esp when they're blind!

:goddam: :goddam:

Coming out of the carpark i looked away for 5 sec. and lost the whole group. Phat32 was behind me and he didn't see where you all went. We cruised up and down the town, then decided that you could be anywhere, so i headed home. I saw Phat32 do a u turn, but he gave no signal, so i thought he was going to try his luck.

Anyway, that last photo shoot looks mad, i'm really pissed i missed it :Pissed: !

BUT my drive home was really exciting and intense at the same time. Not being held back by my inferiour (sp?) cousins, the R33 GTR's, (:bahaha: :)) i was able to unlesh all 205+rwkw on the helpless GOR. Nothing like overtaking 2 cars at 150 then braking to take the corner with the ass end feeling a little loose. One brief millisecond of OOH 5h1t!, but with a slight correction of steering the HICAS did it's job.

All in all thanks to everyone for making it a GREAT day!!! Nothing better than Nice cars, excellant company and alot of twisty roads. Next time i will swap digits with a few people to make sure i don't loose my way and miss out on a great photo shoot. We should do this again VERY soon! Keep in touch.

Hey guys!

Sorry for ditching you guys but we ended up in Warrnambol (spelling?). I said I wanted to take it easy and do some sight seeing but Pete is such a bad influence and all I saw was a blur... :confused:

However it was a pleasure to meet some of you and good to hear you were "taking it easy" along GOR... :uh-huh:

If any of you are up this way don't hesitate to let us know.

Get a Whiteline Handling Kit. You can go faster :D

Btw: The 6spd TT Supra last night. Not bad...doesn't feel fast due to its down low torquey nature. But it's fast. Kinda like Den's car. It's missing the big torque hit as boost comes on.

Ula: I'll say again - was very fun run. A real buzz. Escpecially as we were legal for 90% of the time.

The flame-on 'feature' of the car is pretty cool! Nark saw flame at one point on the way down too. Pity I have this 'legality' conscious and will get a cat put on. Not before I get a photo though :D

james: ahhh... i wondered why all that black smoke was coming straight out when you were flooring it :P

Few got lost by the end point... but well there are a lot less skylines in VIC than NSW so we probably get less on our turnouts than up there.

well at the Geelong stage we had approx 17-20 cars if i'n not mistaken ?!?!?

lost about 3-4 at least before the pics i reckon.

That's not a bad turn out as talking to everyone.... approx 3/4 of those there had only had their cars a few months at the monst.

So that means things will only get better !

Plus there were a few that missed out but you get that.

    • Thanks for taking the time to post that ! If anything changes or happens please do update us. 
    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise    
    • My Fuga Hybrid is JDM, 2014 model but very similar to the V37 from the looks of things..same platform just physically larger and very comfortab;e
    • Was that Australia Delivered Duncan? Does it have siren etc?   I used to have remote start on an old 32 two decades ago, it was a cool feature. I used to wake up early in winter for work. Start it and by the time i was out the door a few minutes later the engine was warmed up and the heaters had the car toasty. It was great.    I don’t mine the ambience lighting.  I drive a western star and it has footwell lights and ambient lighting and it’s great! From the pics of seen of them installed in a skyline I think it’s a nice touch
