both are needed..... The area one doesnt bother me. but i know a few poeple who do live distance from most and do like having it as its a way to meet other locals without using the whoretown...

and as of the un-official event section,, good place to put in cruises,or other stuff..., so everyone can see it without having to search for it...

my 2 cents.

I really think the area specific thread are a good thing, especially from the point of view of someone who is from a regional area.

Things like asking who is a good mechanic in the wide bay area in the brisbane waste land area is going to be a waste of time and making a dedicated thread seems fairly wasteful and pointless.

well being from outside brisbane/goldcoast area, i find it alot easier to communicate with people in my area in the one thread. also people who live in area specific places find it easier to see what ppl are up to without having to sort back through pages of whoretown threads incase some1 they know has posted. but i mean we dont need one for every single town along the coast, just general areas.

even though i live on the coast i still chat to ppl from other areas in the whoretown, but alot of ppl just want to find something out in there area in a hurry and dont spend hours on the computer trying to find out.

maybe u could have a non - official events section in the events area. that would sort that problem out aswell.

Specific Area:

I think it will be a good idea because like most people have said we have connect with people in our own local area. I think it would be a good idea as long as people use it.

Un-official Events:

I think that if someone wants to plan a event, they have every right to do so, however I think if they want to make it an offical event they have to bring it up with someone on the Forums (Head of SAU QLD?) and see if that can be done, because alot of people like going on cruises, even the weekly Thursday night and Saturday night ones.

If they don't want to bring it up with someone on the Forums such as the head of SAU QLD, then yes it should be posted in a unoffical forum.

Yeah Aron the events area is back and its for all events...

Official or un-official. So post all your thursday night events and so forth in the events section, thats what we brought it back for.

Any official events need to be approved by the club (once again separate to the forum).

An official event will be made sticky in the main qld section if open to all users.

Members only events will always be posted in the members area. Which is only accessable by payed qld members.

Cheers Col

If you have any questions about posting events then please PM me. If you want to get together for an official event then please PM 'Mud'.

Thanks for that. I'm only new here so still getting the hang of how things work.

I'll be a payed member soon, when I get the Skyline back on the road I'll get my act together and become a payed member. :D

Thanks for all of that though mate!

Quotes taken from the 2nd last page of the Sunny Coast thread wich I think demonstrates how useful it was...

who is going up to the rally start? (mooloolaba)

he charges bcoz he's a qualified engineer, not just a mechanic. so that is why he demands a higher amount for his work, but atleast u know itll be done properly.

yes you would think that wouldnt you! Even an egg can install injectors without breaking the Orings, making it stream fuel out and all over your engine. a little vassoline doesnt go astray when fitting them! Tuning, well I wont get started there.

Maybe my car was the only one where I had to redo all his work and get it tuned again by someone else, but I doubt it!

Any one from the sunny coast coming to the dyno day at godzilla motorsport?

I am going to run the R and see what she puts out!

Go to ARB to sign a petition to get a drag strip/ circuit complex built in Landsborough. smile.gif

Thought I'd drag this one up again.. Now I've decided to stick with the Wolf. Apparently Chapmans have done a bit of work with Wolfs. What are their prices like. I think I'll give em a ring. Interested in any info on past experiences people have had.

It's either them or fork out $800 odd plus transport to get Matty at PITS to tune it.. confused.gif

I'd spend the extra money and get the work done by a tuner who is one of the best in qld, matt spry. I've been in a few cars done by him now comared to other workshops and i'd have to say his tunes are the best.

Some may be re-opened but it will never be sticky'ed i can assure you of that...

Sticky's are for official events and very important topics only... Whoretown is an exception...

so is the sunnny coast post unlocked now?

Not yet sam but its looking good...

We are giving the poll 7 days...

In the mean time if you have specifics to talk about just start a new thread.

cool,

I dont think that the sunny coast post thread needs to be stickyed, it was always on the front page away, but it would be great if it was reopened. :)

      The powder coating came in at $250 EACH. The TRX rims got a coat of clearcoat on the outside only.

      Pops when backing off throttle, rough-ish sound through rev range.

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Keeping in mind that I am currently getting flat 10 L/100km on my RB25DET, which means >>500km/tank. I would test this car for vacuum leaks, check codes and AFM signal with NissDataScan as D says, check plugs, do a compression check while they are out.

      It is hard to be specific half way across the world...but it *seems* like it might have a minor issue. Is the idle stable and does it rev smoothly? I would not expect any pops out of what I am assuming is a standard ECU, standard tune, standard exhaust. You can use Nissan Data Scan to find out exactly what is happening when it runs, the cable/software is reasonably affordable if you are not planning on changing the ECU (which hopefully you are not with an NA skyline) BTW your mileage may not be that far off, these are heavy old tech cars, and being NA might mean you use a heavy foot to keep up with traffic....

      Hey guys! Y'all are the masters so figured I'd check in on a few items here. - My engine sounds ever-so-slightly more raspy than the other NA RB25s I've listened to. It's barely noticeable but definitely a slightly different sound. - When I back off the throttle at high RPM, I will sometimes get a pop out of the exhaust, assuming this can be diagnosed as misfire. Some history on the car: - Had an exhaust leak in auction sheet but was claimed to be fixed by seller (bought from USA importer).  - Car's coil packs and sparks were replaced when it was sold to me, but unsure on what the gap is and whether the coil packs are correct.  - A prior mechanic had misdiagnosed a pilot or throwout bearing sound as LSPI/detonation. Had played with timing a bit, pops/raspy sound of engine just got worse. Got timing reset. - Had failed emissions a few times. First time went in as is, failed. Second time, replaced cat, still failed, running rich as hell. Third time replaced o2 sensor, passed. Car still smells gassy though. - Timing belt and valve cover gasket also replaced.  - Gas mileage is... low. about 350-400K per tank.  Any idea if I'm having any serious issues here or does this all sound like normal old NA RB stuff and I'm fine to drive it with the pops/slightly raspy engine? If it'll help, I can get drop a video of the sound of the engine.
