Well here I am, in a little rural town of england, not much of a car scene, Ive seen one or two coswroths, heaps of porshces' mercs, and beamers, lots of $$ drving around the roads. No skylines yet.

The town im staying in is good, very small, and cosy you could say. Im staying at the back of the pub im working in, not the greatest accomidation, but its a place to sleep, so I cant complain.

Anyway, I better go, its pretty cold, and ive got a 20min walk back to the pub.

Cheers

hehe.. doxx ill buy ya a pint, its only about £2 for a beer, which is over a litre, its great!

I seen two skylines yesterday, a nice r32 GTR, and an r33 GTS with a GTR badge on it, YES its true, they have lots of ricers over here as well.

Kamikaze, I went around london the other day and seen alot of the sites, such as big ben, and the palace, and few other awesome places, things are so old here its amazing, australia, really needs some decent history hehe.

Im gonna try and catch up witha few of the GTR UK guys, and get them to come down to the pub im working at for a meet, that should be great.

Good to see your all doing well, INASNT, you should just pack up your stuff, and come meet me.. you'll love it.

There are some AWESOME roads here, so i gotta try and hire a car for the day, get some driving in.

cheers.

yep mate, just workign and living in a pub over here, earn a few pounds then travel on that.

everything here is pretty expensive, so its good to earn thier money, and spend thier money, that way you dont lose to much in conversion from AUD.

Ive got a pretty good normal camera, I didnt bring the digi cam, but i'm sure some of the GTR UK guys do.

I'll keep you all posted.

    • 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
