It's already got one. Palmyra. It's been built to suit the majority demographic in Mackay. Sad but true. I remember whan I lived in the area 20 years ago there was talk of one in Gladstone out near

So who is good with tuning and problem solving Skylines in Mackay or the surrounding area that will touch a Microtech?

pm mafia as he knows most of the tuners in town and can point you in the right direction.

yea i was there, had a bad night for racing, so not much to say there. i did have a look at your mates car though was it the one with all the carbon fiber stuff? there was two gtr's nur33 i think was one and the other one was the white one though. i think your mate did a best of 12.3 or something like that, but was being nice on the launch from what i had seen. i on the other hand removed all of the wieght i put in the rear and had my rear tyers rotated as they where worn out, stupid idea's as i had no down force on the rear tyers from the water bottles and now even less tyer surface area so all that equaled SLOW! although i did do that green/blue 427 supercharged xr8 ute over in my first run so was happy with that. need slicks big time as it hard to get traction in a gtst. and i have been getting adrenalin to do my tuning so far-so good but when im ready for a more stressing tune ill be speaking to mafia (john) to tune my car again. what cu will you be running?

Ah yeah there is alot to be said for good tyres lol.. yeah thats him purple one

Iam running a power FC-Dejetro.. I gotta go to bris soon so i will prob get mark at godzilla to tune it for me.

yea i have heard of them should be good to see what the result's are, i managed to pick up a new set of mickey thompson et's on the weekend for a great price, this way i can shoot for the high to mid 11's instead of times all over the place. that nur33 is a nice car as well he has spent some money on that machine! will be great to see it on full throttle :blink:

Hey boys.

I've been watching your chat. Good to hear people are still driving these things.

I just dropped a RB25\30DET into mine. Its done 700kms. Cranked the powerfc right up, she's making good power now. Been spending a bit of time tuning it, but getting there, Hard to tune when driving on your own haha.

I'll be keen to race a few of you too.

Good to hear from you all.

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
