Hello Mates -  

I am an exchange student from Boston, Massachusetts USA and I will be studying at the University of NewCastle between February 10th and July 5th. I have NEVER seen a skyline in person and I would KILL for a ride. If anyone would be nice enough this would honestly make this yanks day. Please email me at [email protected] if you would be nice enough! ALSO I have AIM: Screen name - OneDollarShrimp

Thanks!

if only i was american

if only i was american
LMAO, WHY??????? :cheers:

Just take one look at the US and then Australia... I'll give you a good example why it's better to be an Aussie... WE GOTS DA SKYLINES!!!! :) They might have the bomb, but hell, we still got the 'Lines.

I seriously think we should get onto this ride day idea, it'd be a good day out. Invite some charities, rent a track or somewhere, people who bring GTRs get in free (coz they'll be playing chauffer all day), charge admission and a free ride in a GTR and BBQ, and give any profits to the charities. If anything, it makes the day of a few little kids who need some cheering up.

It's not actually that bad of an idea...

Bit of good press, some money to charity...

The Godzillathon - Brown-underpants for charity day.

Hmmm...

Had a rally club open day where for $10 to charity the locals could come along for 2 rides in rally cars, everthing from datto 1200's to Evos. One guy got the ride of his life when the newly finished S2 rx7 flipped onto its roof...ouch. Best 10 bucks he ever spent.

I'm having withdrawals...no go fast car, just a stock 'line and soarer. Can someone take me for a ride in a GTR...it's been years, honest.

PranK you a downhill shredding dude? Or is the dually just for the northern beaches? (yep thread hijack) Sand must be a bastard :D in the cassette. Roadie myself. Giant of course. 02 TCR Team ONCE. Worth a squillion apparently. Carbon forks 1.1kg. Alloy Frame 0.7 kg...feels like papier mach'e.

So back to cars

Wow I cant wait to get to Australia...this is going to be AWESOME you guys are all so nice. I am going to be in Cairns (I need to learn how to pronounce that word) for orientation for 3 days..and i have 2 nites off...anyone out there that can give this bugger a ride?

SKYLINE FEVER

Were abouts are you staying in cairns an when you coming over ??

also what days will you be here?

(I live in Cairns) :D

Are talking smokey and the bandit style? lol :rofl:

"Godzilla Vs The Cops: Riding a 'line from Cairns to Coolangatta... the long way"

:wassup:

Kinda reminds you of that underground movie of the Ferrari going through Paris (anybody remember the name of that?)

Maybe we could get Nissan to fund this like they did "The Run" with the new Z??? lol

If you go into newcastle foreshore for the laps and you see my plates: DJ984... then flag me down and i'll take you for a lap...

I'm not there everyweekend and my car's not a GTR but feel free to flag me down...

Cheers,

Dave.

This is the coolest thing I have ever had happen to me...if I went on a Ferrari or Porsche board in the States people would be like "get a job and earn a ride" - you guys kick ass. I will be in Australia Feb 5th through July 3rd. And YES I am all for a "Chasing the Skyline down the Coast" roadtrip. I WISH I could say I have even seen a skyline in person..the closest I came was when I almost drove 4.5 hours to New York City to the MTV studios where they were auctioning off a Skyline for some movie...I am in LOVE with skylines...feed my addiction. I will buy beer/women/fuel for the driver :(

I do a pretty good job of scaring my ass here in the states, I got a 1996 Nissan Maxima thats pushing about 300 HP at the wheels...BUT I would LOVE to be scared by a screaming turbo and white smoke pouring of the rear tires of a beautiful skyline...ahhh to be in love.

    • Yes...but look at the numbers. There is a tiny tiny fraction of the number of Joules available, compared to what is used/needed. Just because things are "possible" doesn't make them meaningful.
    • Thanks for taking the time to post that ! If anything changes or happens please do update us. 
    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise    
    • My Fuga Hybrid is JDM, 2014 model but very similar to the V37 from the looks of things..same platform just physically larger and very comfortab;e
