Got home to find these on the kitchen table :) They are monsters, bigger than my 6pot AP's on 370mm Rotors. The brembo's are only 4 Pot for 330mm Rotors. Must say these Nascar brakes are gonna suit the 180SX perfectly. They just fit behind my Work S1R's which Is a bonus.

Mackay people! Know that it's a bit of a drive but the dinner and chats are back!

Continuing on from last years very popular dinner and chats, thought that we could kick off this year with dinner and a movie.

Considering that South Bank is cheap on cinema tickets and because they have decent food thought that that would be a good place to go.

Who: People who are interested in Skylines and cars as well as their significant others.

What: Catch Up for dinner and a movie.

Where: Grilled and then South Bank Cineplex

When: Dinner at 7 and then movie around 9:30pm, Friday 11 January, 2013

Why: Because its the first week back at work for a lot of people and we all could do with a break. It's also been a while since we've caught up, so why not!

How: Well, you drive to the car park and park your car, then walk to the restaurant. . alternatively, I'll be heading there straight after work so if anyone wants to catch up prior, we could always do that.

The movie that were planning on seeing is Hitchcock. They haven't released times as yet but they said that there should be a session around 9ish.

So, who's in?

$400 fuel bill, but the movie tickets are cheap :P

I want to take my car to Brisbane one of these days, but will probably do it when there is a proper event on (And not sure when I will get the energy to drive it up there) Track day at Willobank etc would be the go. Maybe there will be a few others from here keen as well, if they ever have cars again......

Appreciate the invite though, shame we are so far away up here in our dark corner of the world :P

There are discussions about a few of us coming up your way. Pm some events that you guys would be interested in coming down for and well see what we can organise.

Also, if its a $400 fuel then you'd want to save as much on the movie ticket as possible right?

Rough estimate on fuel, and yes movie savings would help :)

Events here....... drags, drives or drifts is about the extent of what can be done here

Let me finish my car first and then I'll drive down with you, Callan...

I'm letting you finish it....... are you letting yourself finish it but? :P

I've found some motivation today and put my pistons and rods together, just hanging out for a second person to put the c-clips in. Damn they are little bitches to get in

Why Build an engine when you can take photos of the parts instead :)

Might get keen tomorrow and clean the block and get it ready for pistons and painting.

Yeah drags and the ocassional drift in proserpine is about all you can do in this town.

I'd be up for the drive, won't be for at least 6 months though as i've got time off in March and will be flying down.

Fark that i wouldn't rack up 2000km's to going to a meet, stone chips, tire wear, fuel, will be nearly due for service and spark plugs by the time you get home, trying not to get a speeding ticket. Lucky i don't own my GTR anymore i would be broke lol.

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
