Hey guys,

Just got here for the start of my 3 month work trip. Staying at the Waldorf Apartments in Auckland and working pretty much straight across the road.

Already spotted a wingless silver 33, 4 door R32 and a R35 GTR driving down K road.

Is there any events happening in the next 3 months?

The weather is way better than Canberra. Everyone kept telling me it was going to be cold but it's like 18 degrees.

Plenty of hot women near where I am staying because I'm right near a campus.

Lots of imports driving around (they love the cube over here) plenty of nice r35's and lots of banged up r33's

Umm chicken breast is really expensive. Costs like $16-20 a kilo. The country side is really really nice and the central city of Auckland reminds me of a larger version of civic. It's got hardly any traffic in the actual central city.

Lots of homeless people in the city which is kinda sad. But plenty of charity things giving or hot meals and drinks.

Hey bro - welcome to my hometown!

Hit me up via PM if ya wanna meet up and go for a cruise :)

I vouch for Daniel to be on his best behaviour in the passenger seat so long as he has refrained from beans in the past 12 hrs.

Dan,

You might have to wear a GT-R hoodie for the Skyline drivers to take notice of you...

or drive an Alfa Romeo for the campus girls to take notice of you. On second thought, hire a puppy.

Haha just got back from a cruise with Adam above ^^^

We went to a car meet up in his 34 GTR. Met some really nice people and saw some nice/interesting cars. We also got lost but I wasn't complaining because we were cruising in his car.

Might go buy a puppy this weekend Terry and go for a walk around the street here haha.

      Hey I get it. Definitely sounds exciting, but not for me, there is almost no V10 or 12 that I really like. I don't like big engines with high cylinder count. V8s would probably be where I draw the line of "which engine would you use". Specifically an LS7 is a favorite of mine, or the 5.2 Voodoo by Ford.

      But V12 Skyline. Like, I'm In!   Stay Tuned in the USA are jamming a V12 into a Foxbody at the moment... Just the sound of V10 or V12 is worth that adventure!

      To put it in perspective; there is just one tuner shop that sells a single turbo kit for the RB26, at least publicly in their shop. Maybe one or two others can offer you a setup if you inquire, but I am not sure. That turbo kit is 16k in parts alone (high quality ones, but still). By the time it's installed, tuned and legalized expect it to cost 25k+. And then you still didn't take into account for any special wishes. I can't imagine legalizing an LS swap for example to be any cheaper. And if you want to legally raise power output by more than 40% of the highest-powered OEM variant of any specific car you'd have to do stress testing on a race track for 2000km. Wildly out of perspective cost and effort wise, especially for just one vehicle. But if you got too much money, I guess you could do it.

      Yeah, I understand that TÜV is a bitch, but.... cost is not an issue when talking about putting a massive NA (or possibly large + turbo'd) V engine into a Skyline. We do it because it is fun. If mine was a project car and not a daily, I'd be finding some massive engine to put in it. Possibly one of the Toyota V12s that they make into monsters in New Zealand. Engineering is not cheap and easy here either (although definitely easier and cheaper than in Der Vaterland). But anything is possible, and 7L is better than ~2.5L, by about 200%.
