hello all, as the topic says, im moving to QLD. where u may ask.. Emerald in fact!!

just wondering if any one lives there or Rocky or any where close

any way would b good 2 meet any one up that way,

Hey i'm not aware of any members that live up there but i work out there occasionally (just did 3 weeks about a month ago). I hope you have accomodation and a decent wage sorted cos its freakin expensive to live out there! rental prices are mad..

Didn't spot any skylines up that way - its v8's, landcruisers and minitrucks as far as i saw.

Emerald is quite some way from the big smoke...

But Ska is up that way and would love to spot you driving around. He gets all excited when he sees a skyline cause there is not much up there... Other than dust and heat...

Emerald is about 250km inland from rocky...

its no good owning a decent car when most of the road u have to travel are crappy outback ones, so that is why most ppl who live in these places have 4wd etc bcoz they need them to go offroad and also for there farms. skylines are just impractical out in those areas

actually daz most of the major roads are better quality than you'd think, i was pleasantly surprised. Still, if all you can afford is a farm shack then might be a different story. A couple of streets in toowoomba and inner brisbane have by far the worst major roads i've ever driven on in qld.

Most of the main roads are OK due to the fact there is a lot of traffic and money out there. I have seen a few lines around Moranbah and a few more in Mackay. Not too maney on this site. Also the amount of 4WD's have got a lot to do with the amount of money people make there and the fact that nearly everyone owns a boat and use the 4WD to tow them. I lived there all my life. Just moved to Brisbane 12 months ago.

Haha, i'm from Toowoomba and that's very true but you never really notice it because you can never get over 45km/h due to the number of old people on the road.

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Duncan · Posted

      You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Ok so i will NEED to have this sensor anyway even with Nistune (or standalone ECU) https://justjap.com/products/genuine-nissan-boost-pressure-sensor-evap-control-system-fits-nissan-r34-skyline-c34-nm35-stagea-pnt30-x-trail-rb25det-vq25det-sr20vet?currency=AUD&srsltid=AfmBOoqfxX48bW9bEwH62orcNhtBfp7ekAL0C9Ca89ySFGUiBzXfXeze Is this the correct one? And this is only thing i need? No other "things" connected to the sensor or something? I do have the wiring.
