when your in sydney i know this isn't the best place to go but go to Liverpool Krispy Kremes and Mcdonalds on friday and saturday night, you will be sure to see a few skylines there as well as mine sometimes....

hay buddy how r ya

just a word of warning the journey u intend on embarking on is no small feat in fact its f**ken huge man.

ive driven around most of australia over the years. ive driven from brisbane to melbourne non stop and its a 22hr drive.

but the big trip from sydney to adelaide then to alice is huge ive gone melb - adelaide - alice and it took a few days and the coditions are harsh. u r stupid if u think ur doing it in a cabriolet, get alot a lot of maps and a gps as well and take heaps of water because it is straight desert and a big jerry can wouldnt go a stray either be really careful and make sure the car u are doing it in is capable ok

cheers

hey mates

i ve done the great ocean road from melbourne to adelaide. we didnt start from sydney, we went by plane to to melbourne. but the great ocean road from melbourne to adelaide was short. i thought its more. it was a nice coastal road. i didnt know that here are so many flies during the day. thats horrible. i had to learn a new move 'the aussie wave'

i am now in adelaide, i booked a bushcamper for 10 days. i gonna drive to uluru and carry on then to brisbane.. that are 4000ks. i know its stupid but we can do that. i am traveling with a friend here. we need a emergency radio, loads of water and diesel.

you were right. here are 1000 skylines. but i couldnt take a photo of 1 yet because i never have my camera with me. is a gt-r so rare? i never see one. i think if you have a godzilla you dont mind to remove the emblem.

of course i know sebastian leob. he is a hero. is the wrc finished, did he win? i gonna take a look.

you gonna find a post when i am in brisbane and later in melbourne. where is the chappel st in melbourne? i checked my tourist road map (haha) but i could find it. is it near the flinders station and fed square?

see you later

hey mates

i am now in brisbane. i stay on a campsite in redcliffe. i gonna give back my campervan the day after tomorrow and move to a backpackers in brisbane central for 2 days and then to the surfers paradies for another 2 weeks. Somebody wrote me we could meet up. my aussie phone nr is 0406550174 (vdf)

the way from adelaide to brisbane via alice was very long and hot. but we enjoyed it.

i am looking forward to see someone of you. here or in melbourne.

see ya

Hey sounds like a great trip!! Did you get to drive a skyline yet? I don't think GTR's are really that rare, on holiday in various places they always seem to pop up, and even here in Alice there's a few.

Good move getting the camper..that's the way to do it.

Enjoy the rest of your trip and keep us updated!

Hey, there is some trackwork going on at Queensland raceway tomorrow.

Either make your way out or send me a pm if you are getting rid of the camper early and I'll tell you how to get the train from Brisbane to my place and we'll head out together.

    • Right, its been a while for updating this car, but I made some small but important progress today. In the end I bought an Ecutek dongle from the Australian distributor Tunehouse (for local hardware support) but have gone with a remote tune from Racebox in the US (because they have done millions of these, and I could not find any tuner where I could access the tune anyway as they are all password locked). The App is reasonably easy to work with, but the PC software reminds me of Haltech's ECU Manager that you need to use with the Plat Pro ECUs, it is a nightmare.  Anyway, I sent the details over, got back a tune file and a request for data logs. I finally got a chance to access a private test track today as they want redline logs in 3rd and 4th, and have sent them back for the first round of reviews. The main difference in the tune is going from 1.0 (stock) to 1.3 bar (19psi), although I'm sure is a lot of other stuff in the background. Keeping in mind this is a dead stock car with 125,000klm, this is what the App's performance test claimed: Before After Interesting to note that both 400m tests had the same terminal speed (158klm/h) but different ETs. And no, the speed limiter seems to be higher than that at 186kl/h. Summary of the key logged parameters for the 3rd and 4th gear runs were: Those little turbos were certainly whizzing at 200,000rpm+.  Also I'm really not that excited about oil pressure 55psi at redline so I think I'll go thicker than 5w30 (nissan recommend 0w20....) and see if that improves it. Other than that (and the big boost spike....) everything looks good as a start to me.
    • Just one more post to show the final result and the original "janky" solution for a laugh. Everything feels really tight and no wobbling at all, very pleased 🙂
    • After drying a few days, time to put her back together 
    • The hot exhaust light will come on not from just the cat being blocked, but it's just a temp sensor, and it's designed to warn you to not do things like park in long grass.   If you've been pushing the motor a bit, it can cause the light to come on.   Second if the cat is rattling, I'd suspect it's not blocked, but instead falling apart inside.   The easiest "fix" until you can get a cat put back in, is to unbolt your one, bash the rest of the insides out, and then bolt it back in.   For a daily driver/street car, I am in agreeance of put a cat in the car. If it were race car I wouldn't care if it were removed.
