Hey guys,

My mother lives in the Casuarina area, and I was up there last weekend for a lookaround...

Saw very few skylines, but did see a couple of 33s and a nice silver 32 GTR with the plates GDZILA or similar.

I'm gonna be back up in a couple of months and thinkin of driving up in the GTR this time (yes I know its a f*kn long way from adelaide) and doin some cruising around the city of Darwin. Is there much of a cruise scene? Many skylines getting around?

Whats the go in the top end?

Hey,

I'm in ALice, not Darwin area. But I presume you will be driving through. (Unless you go the REALLY long way, lol) If you are planning on stopping here, Wanna catch up for the arvo?

From what I have heard in Darwin/ Casurina there are a few guys who like to cruise and they have the odd Track day too! I think if you spend more time there you will see quite a few more Lines.....

yeah will come thru Alice... pity bout the new speed limits out there!!

So no real skyline get togethers up top? Not enough 'lines? or not enough enthusiasts?

I thought there was about 150,000 people in Darwin?

Got 2 gtr's now the 33 and a 34, the 34 is punching out 300kws attw and the 33 is heading for a respray and a RB26/30.

so all are going well. the cruising scene is like allways but with only 15mins from one side of town to the other can't expect to much.

Hostile you will find a cruising thread on Boostcruising.com Territory section for all the low down.

Its nothing like Adelaide but you will still have some fun.

Look us up when you arrive.

Hi Hostile,

I own a series III R33 GTR.

Is your GTR modified at all or stock?

There are a couple of 32/33/34 GTR's in Darwin but, mostly an oversupply of GTST's though *S*

We should get together a skyline cruise through the city when you come up although the cruise will be finished within 10 mins *LOL*

Cheers.

Alot of the cruise scene up here is a mix... Some of the mob on boost cruising organize a cruise which is pretty relaxed.

The last one we were leave at 8pm sharp, think we left bunning car park around 9:30.

Lol at 10 min!! Yeah i guess....

My 32 has a few mods, 34 spec motor, N1 turbos, HKS cams, injectors, exhaust, power FC, blitz boost control, apexi suspension, volk wheels etc...

its good fun with 303.5kw at wheels (18 psi).

Is there much in the way of drag strip/ circuit events up top?

Perhaps a run out to litchfield park might be in order instead of just cruisin' the city? still dunno exactly when i'll be up tho!

      Cleaning my wheels 😍

      By PranK · Posted

      A little follow up here on the ceramic coating.  We've had storms galore here and I've done a few ks, enough to gross them up  Consensus is that they didn't get as dirty as usual, the coating definitely repelled a little of the dirt and I think they kinda snowball. They get a little dirty and then they get dirty faster which makes sense. Cleaning them regularly would allow them to protect better.  Cleaning was a breeze. I tried first to just hose them off which, unsurprisingly, did nothing. But, making the wheels wet and then just wiping them over with a used but clean microfibre cloth was all that was required. I didn't need any cleaner at all, just water and a cloth. The wheels look amazing again.

      Gave her a nice wash today and took extra time to clean off the tree sap and tar and crap. We have a usable garage now so she'll stay cleaner longer. Took a few snaps in some nice light afterwards.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      OK, solid mount Z1 diff brace is in, pretty straightforward, it picks up 3 diff hat bolts and ties them to 2 support bolts on the subframe. Pretty sure someone else on here said they had reduced axle tramp with this but mine was already pretty good for smooth wheelspin, and still is....will see you this goes over time and whether I end up with a broken rear diff hat

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Ah yes, but the part in my hand was actually painted and fitted by me! I knew any front lip was likely to be sacrificial but I've had to fix it twice already... by the time I buy a fibreglass fixing kit, sort out sandpaper blocks, buy some fibreglass filler, body bog, spend the time and effort for a 'Greg' result... a new one being $290 seems like it's the better way to go and spray that with bedliner/raptor coat and we're all pretty again.. Would have preferred it last more than a month though. Them's the breaks I suppose.

      I find it funny that the USA is finding out all this really really weird stuff, and people from the USA are coming here treating it like gospel, yet, all the info on solving those issues is here on these forums for the last 15 odd years... Also, I know how much heat it takes to ignite the hood lining of an R33 skyline. I worked it out myself... It also took a LOT of time, and heat for it to do it... Big single, and I needed to drive the car, so retarded the timing off to "protect it". Yeah, that was a bad move for cruising on a freeway with only 15 degrees of timing on it. That was a lesson I learned around 2009. So that's over 15 odd years ago. Aligning water and oil, that's identical for any turbo engine, it's not Japanese specific. If a shop doesn't know how to make sure the core is rotated the right way, then they shouldn't be touching any turbo engine. That's not a matter of "We haven't had Skylines for that long here"...
