Hi all,

My names Scott. I'll be heading up to Brisbane from Melbournne within a month or two. Yet to find somewhere to live.....

w000t! another Melbournian moving up to QLD..

I moved up here in april last year for work. Shame you're not comin any sooner, I'm actually lookin for a housemate to share a place with starting 1st of march.

Hi All,

I've just moved down from Townsville to Brisvegas a few weeks back. Small confession, I've got a '94 GTiR :) It's busted at the moment but Dan's agreed to do the rebuild which I'm stoked about and he suggested I log on to meet a few more people and learn some stuff.

Anyway, G'day!

Bish

Hey All,

I am Melly, Just moved up from Canberra :P Have a pink/purple pearl R33 GTS-T Series 2.

Live in Cooroy and work at Hogs Breath in Noosa and Mooloolaba so if you see me around there somewhere wave or say hi :P

Cheers!!

Howdy!

My name's Dave, I'm from Norman park. I'm new to nissan. Well actually my first car was the original datsun pulsar (was lots of fun out on the farm), but I was too young to have it on the road......legally ;)

I've just bought a 2000 stagea rs s2, i'd decided a stagea was the perfect car for me. This one was advertised for $12000 with 77k on the clock, and I got it for $9900 :blink: It was love at first sight. I'm hoping for a few steady upgrades over the years.

This looks like a great forum, with plenty of support. Thanks for having me

Dave-

Hi

Im Donna, 28, married, live on brissi northside @ mango hill. Got my 34 Skyline imported almost a year ago, and have enjoyed every second since. Been working towards one for a while and so far have done the usual mods, but as you all know its like opening a can of expensive worms! The list just gets longer! lol

Hope to see some of the brissi people out & about soon ........

Hi All,

I've been lurking on here for some time now without posting much or introducing myself. I'm on the R31 Skyline Club site a lot more.

I live in St Lucia and work around Northgate, I drive a grey HR31 GTS-X coupe which is now powered by a RB25DET NEO. So I expect to be on this forum a lot more to gain more knowledge in the twin cam engines.

I should try and get to some more of your events too, I've been to a couple of the massive skyline cruises but thats about it... None in my current car (my 3rd R31).

Hey, Paul here. just brought a r32 2 door.. live in Kallangur.. Run a tyre shop in Bowen hills...

Which tyre shop if you don't mind me asking?

jeez, they're comn in by the boatload... i mean... r33-load.

HaHa, I like the attitude around here already :ninja:

Cheers,

Martin

    • What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!
    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
    • Yeah man, absolutely. You can try pushing me all the way in swapping the R34 for an E9x M3 
    • It's almost certainly going to be some amount of pads compound transfer onto the rotors. It will probably go away after you've run them for a bit. If not, pull it all out, lightly sand the rotors, scuff the pads, and rebed.
