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.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?

      Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
