Hi there, just a short post to introduce myself. Just picked up my first skyline last week, '94 R33 and I love it!

I will be joining the QLD SAU as soon as I can fill out the form. Look forward to seeing you out and about.

Welcome Alex :D

I recognise where you work (well the carpark) and I suggest parking in the security parking! I used to work in that same complex and heard all nasty stories about the carpark and I always parked in the security parking. For $2 a day or what ever it was, it was a small price to pay for extra security :D

Hey Erin!! Was just wondering... My Warning level has gone up to 10% and I looked into it and someone from NSW named "Blitz" has said I made a stupid post in a thread in the for sale section about "work wheels" I have no idea what he is talking about and was wondering how I deal with this??

thanks for the advice, I just go to the gym there and thought i would snap a couple of pics after i washed her today. (Isn't it annoying how many inperfections you find when you wash a car for the first time ?!?!)

Also, I was thinking of putting the car on the dyno just to see how it goes as a starting point and also to check out a noise im hearing (there is a high pitched whistle when the turbo spools up only happens for like a second on full boost between 4000 and 5000rpm i think it is). I rang up FIST performance and they quoted $95, does anyone have any dealings with them to speak of? or anyone else to recommend?

Thats not a bad price for a power run.

Mercury motorsport are ok to deal with and they are a forums sponsor. They're over in newmarket road.

I've heard milaco is good but sorry no idea where they are. Its hard to find a good workshop cos people have different experiences, for every person that says a place is great theres one that says they'll never go back.

EDIT: mercury are a sau qld CLUB sponsor, not the forums

Yeah thats what i find when seaching etc. Their dyno and workshop is booked up like 2 weeks in advance so that has to be some kind of good sign

      At first I thought these were knock offs....

      By niZmO_Man · Posted

      Background: my BMW 225i hatchback (rebodied MINI/X1) came with 3x RE003 and 1x Goodyear Asymmetric something. The RE003 roared and slid around, the Goodyear side was quiet and grippy. Definitely my car was thrashed before it got sent to dealers. My brother also got RE003 all round on his old VA WRX STI, I wasn't impressed with them, car was loud so can't comment on noise. Anyway, Hankook stopped making/updating V12 Evo2. So bought S1 Evo3 runflats. Great daily duties tyre and not that harsh ride. Tyre reviews site/youtube rated them as best stopping in the rain and I believe them. Next set, Goodyear Asymmetric 5 non-RFT. It beat PS4 in tests and is like $100 cheaper, so put them on. Great tyre, more grip then S1 Evo3 but a tad noisier as expected, still rocking them. Next set I am looking to go runflats, probably the new Hankook Evo. Although the new Pirelli PZ5 did well in tyrereviews test. Or go Goodyear Asymmetric 6 which was top tyre last year. The V12 Evo2 on my gen5 Liberty GT wagon did great in cold condition (drove to snowy mountains for a day so my husky can feel his ancestor's roots). Super impressive performance for $120 each lol. Never skimp on tyres, brakes, suspension. There's old pics of my R31's crappy random brake pads bending in the caliper at Oran Park track day somewhere around here. Anyway, my 2 cents.

      I said "Matlab clone". I could throw one onto one of my linux VMs. Probably only take 10 or 20 hours to sort out the dependencies, relearn how to use it, etc etc.

      Hi all, got myself a 400R end of last year. Few tasteful mods done so far. Love the thing. Has anyone got any suggestions for sourcing bodykit parts for them over here???

      Unplug the thermofans and let it idle... Watch the temp gauge as it all goes up... Record the values. And done.
