Hey Guys From Sunshine Coast

[Shayde]

Hey guys

Ossie_21 (Nathan) and myself have pretty much had it with this place and have decided to take a mini-cruise home in both our Skylines.

So we're driving from Coolum Beach in Queensland (Sunshine Coast) to Perth.

We'll be leaving some time towards the end of December this year.

Anyone know of anyone to have done something this stupid in similar type cars?

Anyways, I'll be periodically updating this thread from various parts of Australia. I have scheduled in 3-4 rest stops and the whole trip should take 4 or 5 days. Depends on how much driving we feel up to. Anyways, wish us luck and hopefully in a couple weeks and I'll post a few pictures of the two skylines covered in dust and insects in some random spots in Australia.

Cheers,

Shayde

least ur fuel economy will look respectable going across teh nullabor

off boost, prob around 2000-2500 rpm, should get around 600+ kms outa a tank

orrrrrrr 140+km/h on boost and maybo 400kms outa a tank

how long were you there for shayde?

nathan hasnt been there that long at all has he? (about 1-2 months if i remember rightly)

yeps, you'd know the fuel economy of a skyline. Esp one with more hp than usual like ossie's right?

i did perth to sydney in my 180sx a few years back

dont drive at night incase you hit an animal and carry half a dozen spare octane booster bottles , good stuff , cause some of the fuel is realy realy shit and she might ping her ass off with it

[Shayde]

It's awesome living here if you were a fan of Country Practice. See what I did there?

[gazza750]

we all must have been missed a lot lol

shutup you - this is what ive gleaned from the various 'how many kays outa tank' threads

[Shayde]

My skyline has 315hp at 12psi and Nathan's has like 390hp at 20psi.

He'll be driving low boost (14psi) and I'll probably take the 10psi option. Or just leave in on 12. Decisions, decisions..
