What I would like to get from you all is if there is a minimum of 20 Skyline’s here that may be interested in participating in this event. It would be great if we could get 10 from NSW and 10 from the ACT.

In line with the mandatory rules of WSID, some of the other rules we have been thinking of are:

1. This event is restricted to Supra's and Skyline's only, sorry no exceptions!!

2. All cars must be street registered.

3. All cars are limited to no more than semi-slick tyres.

If there is a car that does not comply with any of the above additional rules but intends on joining us for the day then this car will be excluded from all prizes.

Cheers

I own a Stagea, which is basically a Skyline chassis with a wagon shell. Would this rule me (and other Stagea owners) out?

At this stage I'm going to have keep it to Skyline's and Supra's only, but I will be reassing this in about two weeks if I can't achieve the 40 car limit. I have a lot of interest with Toyota owners that have dropped in a 2JZ GTE into their car's and I'm thinking of maybe opening it up to hybrids.

I'll have a definite answer in a round two weeks.

Thank you to everyone that have shown some interest to date. This Skyline group could consist of NSW owners at this stage as a lot of the ACT Skyline owners are umming and urring along with the NSW Supra owners.......

hahahahaha yeah the NSW supra club owners are a bunch of pussies they love their supras and covet them like they are the best car on the road but they are too scared to take them on the track and give them a real hit.... (except for the odd few that havethe guts) i have been to several supra NSW club cruises when one of my mates owned a supra and i was the only skyline along for the ride of course i was generally waiting for them up the road a bit cuz they dont like to give it a squirt lolz....... anyways thats my little rant done and its a bit off topic i might say....... SORRY *SHRUGS* im very interested but not 100% just yet as i need to get the car tuned before any hard running

Haha you better get your car tuned then and show those pussy supra drivers how its done, otherwise it will be, look who's talking! :rolleyes:

I really need to see if we can achieve the numbers first before I lock in a date. I need 20 skylines and 20 Supra's at this stage and from what I can see we're around 10 down on each model if I try to keep it to ACT & NSW owners.

I will have a definite answer for everyone in around 2 weeks, say the 2nd week in September.

hahahaha wont be a matter of look who's talking champ..... i got defected last sunday and have to get everything in my engine bay engineered so there goes all the money i have saved up to buy my aftermarket ecu....... otherwise i would have said straight up that i was in like flynn and be showing a few supra club owners what my baby is made of lolz may not keep up with some of the more modified TT 2JZGTE models but like i said the majority of the ppl i have met on there dont like giving their 3 litre babies a good squirt hehehe....... but im more than happy to have my ass handed to me by a supra i got nothin to prove just wana have some fun but to do that i need the car to be running right and not dogging out when i put the boot into it lolz... as i said i will know more closer to the date and will post up whether i will be in attendance but confirmation of a date would be very helpful so i will know if im actually available or not hahaha

I think opening it up to hybrids would be really good. It could it be a 'RB v JZ' event instead of 'Skyline v Supra' to achieve the numbers needed. There are heaps of hybrids out there.

Since when is a street cruise a race? If you came out on most of the SAU cruises you'd see that people generally dont give their skylines "a real hit" during a skyline cruise either!! It's that sort of behaviour that gets car clubs cruises blacklisted by the cops..

Agreed though if Supra NSW dont get any/many local entrants then that's a pretty poor effort!

There's a lot of talk re: the NSW Supra owner's and how there is a lack of interest. Don't forget that the ACT Skyline owners are also showing very little interest in this event as well.

If someone says that there aren't many Skyline's in the ACT then how many Supra's do you think are down here?? :-p

Guys/Gals

I've decided to postpone this event until next year. I'm well over my head and luckily I have had some members offer to assist me with this event but there is too much involved to have something like this go ahead this year.

A new thread with an expected or firmer date will be posted sometime in the near future.

Thanks to everyone that provided input, it has been very useful and are being considered for when this event takes off next year.

Thanks again

Ross

    • I mean it's probably likely that people overestimate their skills in dialling in a setup and noticing the changes. I had SK shocks and springs, and added heavier springs and got them revalved by Sydney Shocks to suit based upon what I told them I wanted the car to handle like. I got back a completely different feeling set of shocks, which probably (?) feel great on track but holy hell are they rough on tram tracks and the like. Truth be told I doubt I'd be any faster or slower with either setup, or camber/castor combination. I also had whiteline eccentric castor bushes up front of my R34. I removed them and put in poly non-adjustable ones to soothe my OCD (nobody ever set the castor the same side to side, and it'd be near impossible to do) and be happy the wheel is centered in the well now for clearance reasons. Yes I wanted it to move 1mm 'back' :p I've effectively set my castor back to stock, negating all the benefits of that which is supposedly massive. I can't tell any difference steering the car.
    • You reckon? I have to disagree. Notwithstanding that at some point we may all be forced to do this to our cars if we want to keep driving them, there is absolutely nothing about an electric-converted-previously-IC-car that is ever good. EVs that are built by OEMs on platforms that were originally IC already suck, let alone the shitty outcomes that result from doing it as a retro to something that was actually built as an IC car. This is because the platform really needs to be designed to house the battery in a useful place (ie, down as low as possible) and the motors are properly located relative to the wheels that they have to drive. Converted platforms already suck at this. But when you try to shove sufficient battery capacity into a previously IC car, you can't put it down on/in the floor, because that space doesn't exist. You can't find enough space where the fuel tank used to be (if it is an inboard fuel tank) and you don't want to hang it out behind the rear axle line if you had a rear fuel tank. And there's not enough space in the tunnel if you still want to use it for anything remotely like what it was originally used for. The engine bay is too big for a motor, and you'd really prefer that the motor for the rear wheels wasn't in the front engine bay anyway. And there's not enough room where the diff was for a proper man-sized E motor. And then.... there is the complete lack of soul and emotion that is provided by EVs. There are some cracking restomods out there. Like the Alfaholics GTA thingo. But it is petrol powered. Look at the alternative EV version of a GTA restomod by Totem. it is jaw droppingly beautiful. But by all reports is is objectively awful to drive, despite having 600 HP or something, simply because there is nothing there. It sounds like a sewing machine or a leaf blower. It should scream and wail and make the hairs on your neck stand up. Oh, and it's 1500 bloody kg in a car that was <900kg when new. GTRs are heavy enough as it is without pushing them up to 2tonnes worth of pork.
    • https://www.dezeen.com/2025/01/06/nissan-electric-r32-skyline-gt-r-godzilla-sports-car/   I reckon this is pretty cool. Lots of other Resto mods have turned to ev power.
    • hahaha @joshuaho96 the most action it gets is when I have to drive from West to SE VIC to meet the fam. Even then, it;s on highway cruising speeds
    • don't know anyone in this thread, but i just found it, read the entire thing in a few hours, realized greg is still posting progress, and just have to say, this is awesome. it looks awesome. 100% right about the Uras kit making it a pain to get on hoists...have the same kit on my 34 and it takes six 2x4s and race ramps to do it without taking parts off. this reminds me exactly of this thread. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/build-projects-and-project-cars/r63-amg-the-unicorn-of-my-destruction/110824/page8/
