What Skylines do you see on your way to & from work????


Recommended Posts

Hi peeps,

Just wondering, since we are all so spread out, a lot over the Gold Coast and Brisvegas, what Skylines do you see as you're on your way to work and back??

Every day there's a black 33 in the same street I work in, the plates are SIC33. Anyone know them??

I just thought this could be an intersting way of meeting people from SAU.

i see CHARLY every day cos he comes down to my work and gets lunch.. then there is a grey R33 with plats 53-PPO i think that comes into work.. then another R33 GTR with the biggest wide body kit on it with 17" that looks really gay. and thats about it..

I dont really see any. Theres a marron one thats round drewvale that I see a bit, but thats about it, I think it could be MUDs car, but I dunno. And I used to see GRY32 a bit until he moved down the coast.

i see a yellow r34 gtst around hope island alot in the mornings...and i also see a purple r34 gtst witha really ugly kit on it around the tamborine area

34s are called GTT :)

As to the topic, I rarely see any skylines on the way to work.. coz I take the train to work. :) Hold on.. have seen a white 33 gtst at helensvale station, dont remember the rego plate..

Where is "Drewvale"?????

I see a white 33 everyday have stopped in and droped of flier to the young bloke who owns it, but he is a bit shy about bringing it out cause it's NA, but I said It's all good, its a skyline, but he still has not shown up at a meet :O

I usually see a young blonde driving a black 33 on the robina parkway in the mornings heading north towards the huge roundabout. Have given a couple of waves but was snobbed. There is a burgundy 33 gtst which has had some recent front end damage that is parked near my work near the burleigh heads medical centre with qld plates XXXFTT. I see a black 32 gtst getting around robina (near the ifs).

Where is "Drewvale"?????

Other side of Illaweena (sp?) street to Calimvale. Most of the time it gets called Calimvale. But it looks a hell of a lot like yours hey, but maybe not.

    • I know this one’s the BB one. My tuner did make mention about the actuator. I am curious about the VCT as well
    • Might also needs a stronger actuator with the right preloading. With older 2019 built bush G3 units, BB upgrade or 21U housing down size makes a pretty decent gain in response as well. 
    • Hey lads  so im finally putting together my rb30 forged bottom end and ran into an issue. I measured my main bearing clearance with arp main studs torqued to 60 ft-lbs using ACL H series STD size bearings and standard, un-ground crank shaft journals and got an oil clearance reading of about 1.3 thou measuring straight up and down and about 2.8 thou measuring at a 45 degree angle (just above and below the parting line). My machine shop said they measured the main tunnel and it was all within spec (they didnt say the actual measurement) and to go with a standard size bearing, which i have done and the clearance is too tight, I'm guessing because of the extra clamping force from the arp studs distorting the main tunnel. I was wanting to run about 2.5 thou main bearing clearance.  My questions are: 1. could i just use the HX extra 1 thou clearance ACL bearings? that would fix my straight up and down clearance making it about 2.3 thou, but then would the side to side clearance be too big at around 3.8 thou? 2. what actually is the recommended main bearing clearance for measuring near the parting line / side to side. i know its supposed to be bigger as the bearing has some eccentricity built into it but how much more clearance should there be compared to the straight up and down measurement? at the moment there is about 1.5thou difference, is that acceptable or should it be less? 3. If i took the engine block + girdle back to the machine shop and got them to line bore the main tunnel (like i told them to do the first time, but they said it didnt need it) what bearing size would i buy? the STD size bearing shells already slide in fairly easily with no real resistance, some even falling out if i tip the girdle up-side-down. If im taking material out of the main tunnel would i need a bearing with extra material on the back side to make up for it? this is probably confusing af to read so if something doesn't make sense let me know and ill try explaining in a different way. My machine shop doesn't come back from christmas break until mid January, hence why i'm asking these questions here. TIA for any help or info 
    • I bought the model back in Japan in Feb. I realised I could never build it, looked around for people who could build it, turns out there's some very skilled people out there that will make copies of 1:1 cars or near enough. I'm not really a photo guy... but people were dragging me in a group chat for the choice of bumper as someone else saw the car before it was finished as they are also a customer of that shop. I took the photo in the above post because I was pretty confident that the lip would work wonders for it. Here's some more in-progress and almost-done pics. It gives a good enough idea as to what the rear looks like!   I have also booked in a track day at the end of January. Lets all hope that is nothing but pure fun and games. If it's not pure fun and games, well, I've already got half an engine spare in the cupboard 
    • Well, do ya, punk? Seriously though, let's fu<king go! The colour and kit looks amazing on the car. Do you have any shots from the rear? I don't quite follow how the model came around. You bought the white kit and he modified it to match your car? Looks nuts either way!
