Hey Guys,

I live on the sunny coast and my friend and i both own skylines. We were out one night and i was going home from a party, my friend was parked out in mooloolaba and saw a whole crew of skylines drive past, hot ones too. Just seeing if anyone knows anythin about it? haha he went driving after them but couldnt find them :) . we all seem to hide until night time :pirate:

oh thats a shame. There isnt really much else to do but enjoy ridin in cars and showing them off, unless of course there was a nice open area to have some fun. haha an abandoned air strip! Dont suppose you know any place that may be good to 'practise' some driving :pirate:

Showing off cars is ghey and has no purpose :)

We used to do mountain runs until someone came off, and the media started to publish things in the paper.

well why do you do up your car if its gay? :pirate:

i know of a few places in bli bli, and also the huge bends on the way to yandina is pretty sweet. there is a nice long straight there, although not the smoothest

Satisfaction for me is winning, not what a car looks like. But everyone has different views on what they like.

Serious though, head down to Brisbane city and down to Gold Coast, there isn’t a huge cruise scene up here, it's pretty much just local younger kids on a Thurs night and much the same on a Sunday arvo. Go check out BWCP, that whole parking lot is normally full every Sat night.

yea i may do, my friend lives there and usually comes up every weekend.might go down there for a change. im stuck with a NA at the moment. i chose to get my car completely stock and personalise it myself, so in a way i know what you mean. but you have to have the looks to go with performance. My friend is also telling me to sell the one i have now and to buy a stock turbo cause i wont get the same benefits if i just put in an aftermaret turbo now. i know it depends on what type of turbo but it would have to be better than the stock ones, what you rekon?

you rekon? so no matter the turbo put in, it wouldnt be worth it?

Also just read up on BWCP in brissy, supposedly its a death trap, it was a good scam by the cops and you can get defected for anythin like your wipers being too hard or not enough water etc!!! how stupid is that. i was reading up another forum where no one was allowed out until their car was checked and some people waited up to an hour!

    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
