I guess so, Were they part of the "Other Team"? You know when they talk of Touring car racing of early last decade they use the phrase,

"There were the Skylines and then there was everyone else"

Haha, thats pretty funny. I've lived in Melbourne for all of my 26 years and not once have I been to Thomastown, Lalor,Epping or Mill Park. Like I said, I have no idea where any of them even are.

But yeah, I had no idea about anything to do with VLs. too young I spose

I caught the car bug from an Alpina C2 BMW. Then when I discovered Skylines that was it for me. There were suddenly no other cars which interested me. Except perhaps the Supra.

and if all else fails its a good old Exa, or a rajab tuned sumfinorother.

But seriously the number of worked cars to male ratio is exceptionally high.

For example, we're always there on sundays near edgars rd quix (nex to tha supamarket) workin on cars n shit, and every car that goes by that's dun up slows down hasa look, sometimes has a chat, and sometimes u get the occasional good lookin chick walk by and have a chat too... is all good fun.

The scene is well n turely there in thomo/epping... it just needs to get organised... like a Northsyeeeeed SAU VIC :D

yeah, there are JETs driving around everywhere these days.

but my point is that when the VLs were dominating the streets, there was plenty of drag, thrashing & burnout action back then but now everyone only likes to look good while driving in their jap import with big 5" chrome exhaust tip ;-)

Funky,

are u talking about Gladstone st? if so, i always drive past when going home from Bi-Lo.

    • That ring thing is interesting how it's holding everything together 
    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
