Ascot or Hamilton would be my pick.

K/P is nice as well. Depends if you want a house or unit. K/P would be easier to jump on a city cat to go out in the city, Ascot or Hamilton are bit like the burbs, might have to walk a few blocks to find a bus stop thou

Cool. I'm thinking apt. Don't want to deal with a house. I'll add those areas to my list of websearch!

Next is, driver's licenses and insurance. I have an International License. I am over 30, been licensed for 15 years, no points in last 10. I can print out a record to prove it. Will I need to go thru the whole p-plate thing? And for insurance on a r34 GTR it was about $1300 comp $400 excess from JustCar. This was of course using my driving record here, there I have zero record.

no idea, check the license section on the queensland transport site.

You wont have to go through the p plate thing has you currently hold a license. You would have to do the driving test i would assume? it'll be on the site.

not sure if this is the right topic or not, but here goes. Moving to Brissy in Dec. Wondering about areas to look for flats. I was told Kangaroo Point is good, but this is from an older bloke (50's). I am not looking for the high school hang out or anything, just a nice area, nice flat, lower crime level, and some sort of night life. Oh and it needs a lockup for the future GTR.

I have a million other questions, but will start with this..

Cheers,

Ryan

the areas to recommend would depend on what you are doing in brisbane. you here to study, work, bludge? where abouts are you studying, working, bludging etc etc?

I've had a couple of sales fall through, my sister in law works at an auction place so the Cressidaghini is awaiting bids... It's frustrating, it doesn't need much work to make it a nice cruiser again, but it just seems that hardly anyone is buying anything at the moment. I had someone a few weeks back show some interest, but they were disappointed my $1k Cressida didn't come with rego and wasn't in showroom condition. He even asked if I'd provide a written guarantee that nothing would break if he bought the car, then looked offended when I said no and laughed at him.

The Mazda is up for sale too though, bought a new daily and don't have the space for (and can't justify the cost of) having three cars. Well, four if you count the yet-to-be-sold Cressida. Oh, plus the bike. I need more space!

BUY MY CARS!!!! :P

Sif try to compete with the Cressida!!!

Besides, I've heard you fart in yours, and that you eat a lot of curry, so it's not the harmless kind of in-car farting either. I've also heard that you eat babies. So there.

    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
