Ryan...

3 things...

1. Cairns is not 18 hours from Bundy...

2. The cops are the same everywhere in QLD

3. They have just as many skylines per head of cattle... :wave:

Are you saying it's longer or shorter to Cairns?

We did Cairns in two days from Brissie, but that's because we wanted to stop along the way... we did brisbane to mackay in easy 10 hours and then Mackay to Cairns in easy 8 hours... we stopped in Townsville for a good 2/3 hours... And bundaberg is like ~3 hours from brisbane?

The drive to Cairns on the Bruce highway is actually alright! People were telling us how crap it was, but it was way better than I expected. Just make sure your alert between rockhampton and mackay and bowen to Home hill.. those are probably the two worst stretches.. After home hill, theres very little outback and it's more tropical and sugar cane.

Are you saying it's longer or shorter to Cairns?

Yeah much shorter sorry...

I took me about 12 hours to mackay where we stayed over night then 8 hours to cairns...

That was in a 36 tonne truck and 40 foot trailer... So Bunderburg to cairns in a car should be shorter...

Make sure you stop and take a break every 2-3 hours. Cause long drives like that are very straining...

since cairns import scene is the topic, how many performance workshops specialising in imports are there and is there any compliance places up there? i'm going to be opening a business of this nature in the next couple of years and at the moment i'd take cairns's nice warm days over brissy's anyday cheers

Theres no compliance places up here that I know of. As for workshops, there's prolly three or so. There's one performance part store that sells the brand names to all the F'n'F kids up here.

It's definately a niche maket thats starting to pick up quite a bit.

what can i say about cairns. . . . . . . . . . . wrx's, r33's, r32's, 180's, supras, holdens. . . . . .

if you see a white wrx with a black bonnet. . and has asian guy sitting in it. . race it . . . a friend of mine. .(11-12 sec car)

a silver R33 Gts-t series 1 sedan. . . and has an asian guy sitting it. . race it. . . . . a friend of mine. . (13sec car)

a black 180sx with an asian guy sitting in it. . . . race it. . . its my cousin. . . .(got a Rb25detengine in it). . . .

    • haha don't worry I'm sue you've got more fun ahead buying a 30 year old turbo car....but at least you are in the right place to ask
    • some days eh? The keyless entry and interior light on/off with the key will be controlled by the Body Control Module, but I'm not certain where that is or what it looks like (you might get lucky with a search to get a part#, which could be printed on it). I'd start at the A pillar/ Under dash/kick panel on the driver's side
    • It might be hit and miss, but Nissan Genuine Parts and Pitworks are not the same thing, although both are available from Nissan Dealers with Nissan Part Numbers. Nissan Genuine Parts are the OEM stuff, Pitworks are their attempt to get people back from generic parts makers
    • I did end up getting it sorted, as GTSBoy said, there was a corroded connection and wire that needed to be replaced. I ended up taking out the light assembly, giving everything a good clean and re-soldered the old joints, and it came out good.
    • Wow, thanks for your help guys 🙏. I really appreciate it. Thanks @Rezz, if i fail finding any new or used, full or partial set of original Stage carpets i will come back to you for sure 😉 Explenation is right there, i just missed it 🤦‍♂️. Thanks for pointing out. @soviet_merlin in the meantime, I received a reply from nengun, and i quote: "Thanks for your message and interest in Nengun. KG4900 is for the full set of floor mats, while KG4911 is only the Driver's Floor Mat. FR, RH means Front Right Hand Side. All the Full Set options are now discontinued. However, the Driver's Floor Mat options are still available according to the latest information available to us. We do not know what the differences would be, but if you only want the one mat, we can certainly see what we can find out for you". Interesting. It seems they still have some "new old stock" that Duncan mentioned 🤔. I wonder if they can provide any photos......And i also just realized that amayama have G4900 sets. I'm tempted too.
