Well,

As i'm currently watching the Cannonball 2004 Europe, I just looked up and they are actually running the Cannonball Run in Australia - around May 2007..

http://www.cannonballworld.com/aus/index.htm

Goto say - pretty expensive.. $10,000 per car (1 car = 2 people).. Includes all accomodation... all entry to parties..

Looks awesome from the Europe one, however aussie police are not gonna let much slide i'm sure.. Def have to go and watch it when they start if they head through Sydney..

Anyone thought about entering it??

It can't be that cheap? (EDIT: I mean... for the celebrities and types of cars that normally enter, it's too cheap! Ferrari Enzo? I'm sure he did it with his pocket-change!)

I'm starting to watch the 2006 eps now (up to ep2)

Last years was pretty funny, and Jackass covered a previous year.

I'd be pretty interested to see it over here in 2007... i'm sure someone with an R34 GTR V-spec II can represent! ;o)

no.. I agree... Unless it's on a stretch of dirt road in NT where there are no speed limits, and no-one else to harm.

It would be funny though! They can do Parramatta Road or Pittwater Road on the Northside.

The wheels and shocks will fall of the cars, and they'll never make it through two sets of lights at a time. Then they have our tougher, more restrictive police force to recken with. Hello 40km/hr school zones!

Har, they'll roll past the donut shop and get defected by the rozzers, then it'll turn into Epaballrun.

it would be better for us to do it overseas, these blokes would come over here not giving a shit about losing a temp aus road licence, pay there fines and piss off back to there own country.... sweet.....

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
