no pun intended mate. just having fun.

I'm jelous or some of your roads. I've heard they are awsome to cruise on. Have a look at this thread.

Some of us are thinking of coming down your way to check out the roads and the Targa.

btw, Welcome :wink:[/quote:8603c45b36]

i have read the thread and that would be so cool having dozens and dozens of skylines all in the one place and especially in a state like tassie.

make the idea happen and we could get a feature in the local newspaper about it, the idea could be so cool, can't wait if this all happens.

Talk to Rod (33GTS25) if you want to help organise it maybe. It was his idea.

zsky, if the targa idea becomes more popular than NZ then i will call on you to help organise it, thanks for the offer but i really would prefer NZ beside i dont know that we could get away with much while down there if we go during targa because the cops will be wary as hell, maybe we could go down outside of this time and get all the road time we want.

zsky mate, how may shell's or bp's down there are carrying optimax or ultimate

p.s all these mainlanders would absolutely love the sidling :twisted:

what is your mums family name, beaconsfield is only a small town and i may know her family

there is no optimax or ultimate in any tassie servo :evil: i would like to run my car on it but PULP will have to do the only place that does have it is the local subaru dealer who needs it for the Liberty B4 and the WRX STI and it is like a $1.60 a litre.

my mums family name is Elliot.

I would be more than happy to help organise it if something happens and all u mainlanders come to Tassie for a huge skyline cruise that would be so cool all these dozens and dozens of skyline all in the one place and cruising along the highway.

come down here for a big together of skylines a go for a big cruise around the state.

zsky. i think the cruise to tassie idea just died, i think i speak for everyone when i say that there is no way anyone is going to run their car on anything but optimax or ultimate and i can tell you right now that i have no intention of paying $1.60 per litre for fuel i get for 90c.

i think i may know your family, do you have an aunty/cousin jodie

zsky, i cant believe how long it takes for tasmania to get stuff the rest of the country has had for years, its one of the reasons i left not to mention the cost of living. before i came up here everyone was telling me that big cities cost a lot to live in and i gotta tell you that its utter crap, not only do i get paid a shitload more money than i ever would have in tassie but the cost of living is minimal in comparison plus we have a range of services available to us that would blow your mind.

make the move big feller, come and join the other half of tassie that is now in queensland

this is gonna sound really weird but, what is your mums name and what street did she used to live in, actually come to think of it how old are you.

if you're mum is a baby boomer, then there she is a good chance she would know my family as my mum is the youngest of 8.

for refernce when you speak to your mum, my name is Rodney Bukuya and my mums maiden name was Margaret Phelps

cheers

On the subject..... I have just moved to Tasmania (launceston) from Rockhampton in Queensland. I am loving the Cold weather, I hate the hot weather of the mid to north Qld.... Also I agree that the roads are great. You don't have to travel Fast to feel like you are racing. Got to be careful when the roads get slippery though. It is like driving on wet glass, seriously. Drifting is easy, and unintentionally dangerous.

There is one particular road I want to take (Launceston to Beach) that I would like to cut from 45 minutes to 25 minutes... just a time trial thing. The roads are excellent condition, long bends, straights. Perfect for a bit of *time trial runs* I guess if your car goes as fast as 300 km/h you have the room and roads to do it.

Hey guys, chek out my thread in Events.... I am organising a cruise for September here in Tassie.

Btw, Zsky, Up here in Launceston we have 98 RON fuel at Caltex, called Vortex. Plus, you just need some octane boost just in case....

The cruise will be awesome, so email me or reply on the thread....

so Slaz and Nismojo......you both live up in Launnie?

That Launnie to Beach road you were talking about Nismojo, was that from Launnie to Greens Beach? Love driving that one myself.

What car do you have Nismojo?

Where would we be cruising since you guys live up north and zsky and I live down south?

Scott.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I did a bit of googling, the color MCM used was Galaxy Grey from House of Kolor. This is actually a colour I picked out about ~10+ years ago (or more). This one is a stock BMW colour, I guess over the years I figured it was smart to get an OEM colour that was pretty common for all of those sensible reasons one can think of..

      Cleaning my wheels 😍

      By PranK · Posted

      I absolutely love having clean wheels and also totally love cleaning them. Its not as important to me to have a clean car exterior as it is to have clean wheels. So I bought a kit. I generally use different products for my wheels than anything else, so I thought I'd buy a proper kit and bucket to keep it all in. I got this one from Waxit. I also got the CQuartz wheel and plastic ceramic along with a bunch more application micro fibre pads as CQuartz never provide enough.  The kit was good, but as usual the big, long spongey thing didn't fit between my spokes, so I needed to use a detailing brush and a larger brush that I already owned (been doing this forever, the spokes on these wheels are frustrating.) I did a full clean with the wheel cleaner, it has an iron killing product in it, so I found that I could just use the cleaner and nothing else on the wheels. The tyre cleaner and handled brush were awesome. Made cleaning the tyres so easy. Once everything was clean, I decontaminated with isopropyl and applied the ceramic. Two coats. I bought 2 bottles as I have a lot of wheels to do, half of one bottle did two coats on these. The X5 has 20's so I reckon probably 3/4 on that. Then, for possibly the best part, the wheel cleaning kit comes with a tyre black applicator. But, this is possibly the greatest sponge of all time - its a great size, quite stiff and HAS A COVER! When you finish applying the black, you just put the cover back on! This is revolutionary, I normally have to try and find safe places to put my tyre black applicators as they are covered in silicone and tyre crap. Or, you use something which just falls apart. This applicator is the bee's knee's. Get one. It's worth it. The tyre black is also like a cream, its very thick but goes on really thin, its very easy to use with the applicator. Ayway, after a big clean, decontam, ceramic coat and tyre black the wheels went back on and they look awesome.   Thought I'd share.

      Haha. Good work. I feel some of your pain because I spent a bunch of time under my car over the period too. Probably nowhere near as much as you did. My happiness is similarly improved by obtaining a desired result though. Those side skirts are.....hecking. Very unfriendly for street and hoist. Sounds to me like you've made a cart that needs to be driven up only planks/blocks at a 2 post hoist, rather than trying to get it up onto a 4 poster. It's very pretty, by the way. Somewhat reminiscent of Marty's squid ink on SuperGramps - at least in the photos.

      ATTAKD 356mm Brake Kit for Nissan Skyline R34 GTT or R33 GTST (front)

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      ATTAKD 356mm Brake Kit for R34 GTT or R33 GTST. Same brake kit as per here from JJ: https://justjap.com/products/attkd-brake-kit-nissan-skyline-r34-99-02?currency=AUD Can confirm these will bolt directly to a R33 GTST with 12mm bolts OR to a R34 GTT (which is what I had) with the supplied bolts and the collets for the 14mm bolt holes in the R34, which are included. Also included is a set of rotors and hats, as well as 2x brake pad sets. 1) DBA XP (street, hills) 2) Forza FR6 (track) These are radial mounted and bolt directly to R33/R34. You will need extended brake lines to avoid them being full stretch on lock - this is common for all BBK's with the bolt point being in the center. In my case I welded another stud about 25mm lower than the OEM one and retained stock lines and fittings. You'll want a BM57 BMC to get the most out of these. I speak from experience. $1800 (neg for SAU people), located SE Suburbs Melbourne.
