my long lost cousin HABIB!!

Hippy - I have enough traction issues already man without losing a couple more hundred kilos on the rear end .... but I will hopefully be fixing that soon with a Whiteline handling kit

Matt - Stickers for an event are cool (I might even be in on it too) .... I'm just not a big fan of the whole 'look at me, look at me' all the time, plus it would draw unwanted police attention, I'm sure.

So what was the verdict, should I (or is anyone else) gonna look into the Autosalon display thing?

[MattR]

Id be init for sure, I dont have the time to organise a thing like that so it would have to be up to someone else?? any takers andrew:)

[hippy]

does anyone know whats going to be there?? like the percentage of jap stuff which most of us are more interested in ... as opposed to the other stuff??

[Munro]

I thought last year was a bit lacking for performance cars, mainly big wings, over the top subes etc. Was plenty of nice chicks though.

thats an interesting question Hippy. Every month I get unique cars & dream on about the following :-

996 Porshe Turbo. ( for the hills)

550 Maranello. (for touring)

Maserati Spyder. (for rundle street)

Ferrari 355. (for going to the video shop)

Yamaha Raptor. (for the paddock)

Malibu Sunsetter. (for the river)

A bigger garage - to fit them all in, 'cause my GTRs

are going nowhere.

The cars I have now ARE my dream come true, & I

dont take them for granted.What I would love to see is

R33 Race GTR - 8 seconds @ 160 mph

R33 Street GTR - 10 seconds/320kmhr Vmax

R34 Hills GTR - 11 seconds.

AND - world peace.

whats a maranello ... whats a raptor?? and whats a sunsetter??

[GTR King]

Ill give u World Peace if u gimme one of those GTR`s :]

So u fixed the wastegate yet john? Would love to see how quick a street car can go. I remember when u got your drag car, when it was a stocker and we thought that was pretty quick.

[TIMMMAYYY]

You're such a do-gooder munro!

hehe

[Munro]

Yeah, Lambos are amazing, but a bit over the top for me.I would still like to drive one if I got the chance though.

A 550 Maranello is the top of the line V12 Ferrari.It's a front engine/rear wheel drive machine that does over 300kmhr & they cost over $500,000. A Raptor is a 4 wheel motorbike made by Yamaha.They are 660cc 4 strokes & are totally sick for off road.I have ridden a Banshee which is a 350cc 2 stroke but nearly killed myself & would prefer the bigger (but more controllable) Raptor.

A Malabu Sunsetter is a big ski-boat.Takes 10 passengers, has injected 350 chev, stereo, & everything that opens & shuts.They are the official tournament tow boats in USA (they use the smaller Response model) - but the Sunsetter would be just the ticket for cruising past Sturt Reserve in style.

The engine is out for a complete rebuild(on the new R33 - Drift6)

so will be a while till ready - will be a real torque monster with the new single Turbo setup. There was a problem with the balancer, & when removed it damaged the crank - so I am starting from scratch with a new block/crank/pistons/rings/bearings etc etc. Should make boost by 3000rpm & still have around 450rwkw, so will be a good street car

It is interesting how quickly things have changed in GTR circles in Adelaide. I remember when no-one had 400rwkw & we all thought it was huge when Danny/Doug/Keir started pumping out over 400rwkw - 10.8 was the fastest GTR in town only 2 years ago! then Keir hit the 9s. Then 9.51. My car was supposed to run a 9.9, & now is doing 9.45!!! Now Keir has a 9.38 under his belt.

Keir has T67s now & I heard that he made 600rwkw recently !!!!!

Thats 800hp at the wheels! Unbelievable - but true!When is this madness going to stop. Not for a while I reckon. My new setup (when it's ready) should hopefully get close to those numbers, & I think both myself & Keir have flat nines firmly in our sights.If we can run 9.0s we will both be in the top 10 on street tyres in the world.Reece is already in the world top 10 for Pro GTRs on slicks.

I think that us 'roundeyes' have come a long way over the last couple of years.

[hippy]

wow .. top 10? in the world?? thats amazing!! ... do u think the japs have any ideas what u, keir are up to with their cars??

[TIMMMAYYY]

Good luck in your persuit for a flat 9 on nitto's john

[Cubes]

Kiers GTR running a 9.51 down the 1/4.

Looks damn quick even on vid. At times I get a little tired of RWD. Oh well GTR one day

Here's the link to the vid.

9.51 1/4 with 150mph

God I want a GTR.

[Munro]

Cool. I saw a run of Keir's recently from the finish line & it looked like I was in Japan or something - awesome to see coming towards you.

anyway - back to the auto Salon Subject - As far as I am concerned putting cars into shows is a major pain in the ass, but I would be willing to put in Drift6 (R33) & 34VSPEC if we had a properly organised stand to promote the forum - there are lots of nice skylines that have never even heard of this forum & therefore

never come on cruises etc. We would have to sort out exactly which cars to put in & organise a roster to tell people about this 'unoffical club' or just put www.skylinesaustralia.com stickers on each car. I think that single cars are lots cheaper than having a group stand, but maybe someone could talk to the organisers & explain that this is a non-profit venture & can we put a group of single entry cars together on one stand.My race car will not be ready in time - but I have 2 other nice GTRs that would look good on the stand.I am not interested in trying to organise this myself, but if someone else wants to take the baton & run with it, then I will help by supplying 2 killer GTRs(& maybe the EVO7)

[hippy]

yeah i'd would definitely put one in my car

[GTR King]

hmm sounds ok but it may be a cop magnet. Give it some thought. Generaly they dont pick on car clubs but Skylines aus isnt a club.

[TIMMMAYYY]

Do cops kno who all the cams affiliated clubs actually are? Can they check this shit up inside their cars? Whats the go ther?

Surely it can't do too much damage. We aren't advertising a club, but an internet address for a group of mates/chicks with the same interests. Hardly a club...

[Cubes]

Remember a little while ago where this bloke had a sticker of a www site? Basically he had a huge list of mods on his www site and the police busted him.

Not that we shouldn't get stickers. I'm not one for stickers my self but some thing to keep in mind.

Just be carefull listing your mods through sigs etc I guess.

[TIMMMAYYY]

I hav a r31skylineclub.com sticker on my car and am yet to be targetted. The club isn't cams affiliated either.

Personally I can't see too much problem with a sticker... but yea.. i guess its up 2 each individual as to whether they want one..

[brandon_gtr]

Will Drift6 be ready in time for the auto salon? SINGLE TURBO? PLEASE TELL! What are the plans for the TD06's? We are making the trip over, but just bringing the 180sx for the show... Complete with original Jap cigs in the ash tray.... Car hasnt been touched since it landed..
