Some others and myself are planning on going up to Sydney on Saturday the 20th morning then coming back that same day. Our car is already full but if anyone wants to join us on the drive up the plan would be to leave about 8am and drive there via one of the establishments on the highway for breakfast. We would be leaving Sydney whenever we have had enough and then drive straight back to Canberra.

Nothing is set in stone, its all theories at the moment.

So... anyone interested?

I'll chip in $20 bucks for a seat, or I might try and come between Mel and Zane (cause I'm a homewrecker).

Where and When would you be leaving from?

My house at 8 :P

Or we can meet at Eagle Hawk or what ever that place is called.. If you wanna leave your car at my house and get a lift to where we are meeting that would be fine Broken_31. If everyone wants to meet at my house that it also cool.. I'm in Bruce

If anyone is worried about driving in Sydney, the place is really easy to get to and I know exactly where it is and how to get there

Reece has been trying that for 18 months :P So get in line, I hear there is a ticket machine running now...

Leaving at 8 from my house Broken_R31, you can leave your car there for the day. We will be leaving Sydney by 1400 at the latest as the plan is to be back here by 1700

If anyone is interested in a convoy can they let me know by Friday night and not last minute Saturday because I can garuantee I wont check this forum before we leave on Saturday

    • Update time!  The JZX110 had some maintenance needing to be done, so a lot of the seals with replaced to fix some oil leaks. Also used this opportunity to whack on a front mount that I'd bought some time ago.  I also finally got the rear lip painted and fitted.  I then got the exhaust done. It's just a catback for now. Custom made 3" stainless with a turn down. I could have a tip coming out, but it will require cutting the rear lip and possibly the bumper itself. So far I do like and it's made the car a little more zippy.  Close out with some nice pictures of the cars and a sneak peek of what's next. 
    • Once you learn it all, you find you do the job once. But this is the best way to learn, as you won't forget the lessons
    • Edit: It's now known as "R Performance" and is still in operation.
    • This lady loved her FD for 25 years!  https://www.topspeed.com/80-year-old-woman-donates-fd-rx-7-mazda/ My brother in law. He's nice enough to let me drive it whenever. He'll likely not see this, but I'll try: @r-is-for-fun got any pics?
    • Just something I found searching for more info on Emotion R, apparently the ECR33 Skyline GTS25t was either originally black, or there were two of them, the black one being the original demo car, then building a white one which was part of the 1997-onwards (to at least 2008!) Cockpit Tatebayashi Tokyo Auto Salon booth demo cars. It appears that Emotion R closed down in 2008 and was declared bankrupt in 2010: http://bank-db.com/hasan/208365. Scan of a magazine with the black R33 from 1996: Wayback machine archived page from May, 2000: https://web.archive.org/web/20000529061027/http://www.emotion-r.co.jp/skyline.html Option magazine with a few photos from the Cockpit Tatebayashi booth at the Auto Salon from various years: 2002: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=154&image_id=3507 2003: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=137&image_id=3033 2005: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=116&image_id=1831 In 2008 Cusco website mentions that the Cockpit Tatebayashi ECR33 was displayed at that year's Tokyo Auto Salon: https://www.cusco.co.jp/event/2008/12/post_735.html As of 2021 it appears that the ECR33 demo car ended up being exported to Florida, USA: https://rmcmiami.com/inventory/1996-nissan-skyline-r33-cockpit-tatebayashi-demo-car-big-te06-turbo-endless-brakes-lsd-450hp/ And finally here's Google streetview of the Emorion R garage in 2023 which is amazingly not only still there, but the showroom is still full of various parts in stock and funishings, etc.: https://maps.app.goo.gl/ttyEAZdZLyzermyT9 Apologies for nerding out a bit. I used to love doing this 20 years ago on SAU and got a bit nostalgic for a moment... 😅
