Hi guys - just a quick hello from Washington.

We have spent a few days in New York, and have been to Niagara Falls, and now Washington. The weather is awesome, sights fantastic and we are having a ball!

Cars here are very cool, and I have been taking plenty of photos of interest. Haven't seen any Skylines - except for V35s, of which I have only seen 3. Got some photos of them too!

Hope everyone is well, and I might do a longer post with some photos, when I get to Boston early next week, and have time to upload/edit them.

Hey Nightcrawler

Im in Calgary Canada at the moment but im commin to the USA in 2 days time (Seattle). I dunno what its like in DC but here every1 is driving Acuras and Hondas, I saw a R32 GTR for the first time this week in Banff (brought bk memories of home :P). I had a stop over in London for a day and that whole time I only saw 1 import which was a Soarer, the cost of fuel ova there is like $3 AU i think so imports arnt so popular. Newayz have fun man and if u can stay in a hostel with a bar, even if u can afford a hotel they are the best fun and u meet so many different ppl.

Cheers, Spangers

PS Anythin happening in SA?

Hmmmmmmmmmm I'm Jelous Andrew!

RIGHT now i'm currently supposed to be in LA BUT still stuck in Adelaide which sucks!

My Parent said the weather in NY was Awesome the other week. Like 30 odd something...

Anyway hope you have fun!

Like i said so so so jelous!

Sounds like you guys are having a ball Andrew. I'm guessing Caroline is with you?

By the time you read this you will have left Washington so I hope you had a chance to check out the Smithsonian (Smithsonians really as it's 7 musems in total!) the Aerospace museum is awesome! Plus all the usual places: The White House, Arlington (JFK's grave/changing of the guard etc.) The Pentagon and so on.

I have vivid memories of my last trip to the States (mid 2001) I even did the trip to the top of the World Trade Centre (can't remember which tower it was) and still have a little Statue Of Liberty that I bought from the gift shop at the top of the WTC.

Enjoy the rest of the trip mate. Stay safe.

I'll finish off with... GO THE CROWS!!! :wub:

Well we just got home safe and well - I am heading to bed now, but will do a nice big post in the next day or 2 outlining our adventures. As we have just come from Hawaii, and I have now been out of bed for over 24 hours (13 of those spent flying), I am stuffed!

    • I like it when the counter chick leads you out the back into the racks and says "have a grub around in here and see if you can find what you need. I'll be back in a few minutes. Just left me in front of a massive motorised shelving system and 2-3 million fasteners, so I could find a peculiar SS shoulder bolt with cap head. Gotta love country towns.
    • I used this https://osgiken.com.au/product/os-giken-os-250r-lsd-gear-oil-80w250-1-litre/   shut my nismo 1.5 pro up by heaps…. Not silent though. Gives the car character and personality. It ain’t a carolla. If you want silent, put a quaife in it.
    • It's about the same time for me from Bunnings, or the Fasteners. My big push away from takeaway food, and gluten in general keeps me away from the Bunnings Snags too! Weather up here, I've been out for two walks today in the beautiful sunshine. Had a few little drizzles, and some wind, that honestly, a tin of beans and I could compete on how harsh she blows Thankfully, being this bit inland, we're not getting anything much really. Will probably pick up a bit more when/if Cyclone Alfie decides to come ashore. A few areas in the GC though, and south into NSW are really getting smashed though! Right now, I'm just annoyed Alfie hasn't hit, as I'm not allowed to crack into the BBQ foods like the bacon and eggs until the Cyclone hits "In case we lose power"...
    • I love fastener joints, the price difference between them and joints like Bunnings or Super Cheap is amazing, and they either have exactly what you want, or they can get it to quick They have even given me some for free when I only needed a couple of specific size In saying this, I have paid premium for fasteners from Bunnings if they have the sizes I need, but only for convenience really, as my local is only 10 minutes away, the Sushi joint near them is also a consideration  How's the weather Matt? Stay safe mate
    • Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
