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.

      Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Duncan · Posted

      Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
