This is what I got up to on the first day of 2015 (don't mind the couple scenery pics at the start). Went for a long cruise with a couple mates and ended up at the top of a place called Lake Mountain, during winter this is a pretty popular snow field (see spoiler at bottom)

Took all the pics with my phone (HTC One), nearly took my camera along, but I didn't unfortunately, plan was just to go for a cruise, didn't think we'd end up anywhere good for photos like that.

And I.... didn't take any footage of my ride up that way on the same day. :)

 

At least the roads were very quiet on NYD, although I suspect we may have awoken some people with our loud exhausts

 

I got some footage on my GoPro from Marysville to the top of Lake Mountain, didn't turn out very good though, lots of wind noise. Will have to do it again but get a better mic for sound.

 

Yeah it was great, barely any traffic at all. Only got stuck behind one slow car between the Black Spur and Marysville for about a minute before they pulled over to let us pass. Exhaust sounded epic bouncing off all the cliffs and trees lol.

 

What time were you heading through there? We got to Marysville about 6:30pm and after a little stop, to the top of Lake Mountain around quarter past 7. Came back home through the Reefton Spur and down through Warburton.

Its been quite awhile since I've been on here because of university and what not. Been quite active with the local 86 club here in San Diego as well. Back in September we went up to 86fest which is quite a large event that attracts quite a few people from around the country. Our club on its own convoyed up with 40 cars in total. It was quite a sight indeed haha. Heres a couple videos that some of our guys put together.

This first one you can see my car at 0:23 and 0:46

 

This video I'm in a couple times. I may or may not be the guy photobombing in the beginning ;) then you get a better look at her at 2:22.

 

About a month ago we had a photo shoot as a club and my buddy got some good pictures of the car.

Here's myself with the Sex Panther (my nickname for the car:D)

As for mods nothing new with the car. Still stock. I can't afford to do anything at the moment because of Uni.

Would love to know more about your r33 carlstone... The r33 gtst is the bane of any other model skyline owners here in Australia, generally regarded as cheap and nasty. I'd have an r33 gtr over all other skyline models (hard to pick between it and a kenmary), but never a gtst. Don't take me as too rude just yet, I just don't get gtsts and making them quick, they don't look that good, and a gtr doesn't cost much more- especially given you have to modify the gtst to try to equal a gtr. Just in response to your signature that's all...

well, over here in England GTR's are a fair amount more than GtsT's, but I can afford a GTR...so why a GtsT....and why an R33?

Well, I'll start with why I chose the R33. for some reason I've always loved the 33's looks, I could never put a reason as to why, I love the rear end of them, also over here the R33 is very understated, everyone raves about the 34's or the 32's, so I decided to go for the underdog, just because I could really!

 

And I wanted a GtsT....why? Rear wheel drive... simple as that. And again I like how understated it is, when really they're still great cars, and in my opinion better than the GTR!

Also your point about mods to make it faster than a GTR, well, it doesn't actually take that much if you find one with a healthy engine, and, who is ever going to use the full potential of their car on the congested roads here anyway!

Around a track a GTR will beat a GtsT, but I still think I'd have a better time in the RWD GtsT....

 

Also, as my first (and probably last) Skyline, I wanted to go for something with a bit of character instead of the more fabled GTR's, I just wanted a car to make my own....and to be honest, for me, nothing will do that as much as my Renault 5 GTT did....so, that's why I prefer a GtsT to a GTR, why I chose a 33 and why I'd rather have my 5 back!!!

Just sold my first car :( the rollamobile, as mrlololol- or harley, supraman, whatever he goes by these days- affectionately named it. Not my Levin, thats where the money is going. Such strong sad feels, a part of me just drove off into the night by someone who doesnt know the car at all. I will cry and go into a deep depression if I find it in a wrecking yard... :( Oh well... All good things must come to an end, and give way to better things.
