Hey all,

Yes i will accept i am a token mexican (Victorian) raiding your state from early June for 10 days... visiting my old man.

He is 10 mins from Brisbane.

I have been a few times, my bro is coming up aswell and we have access to a car etc...

So what to do, where to go...???

Best place to be heading out on Sat night? Whats best place to go out during the week?

Any suggestions would be great.

thanks,

Mark

Cars / Cruising

Cruising Thursday night around the city, Check out www.cruisingbrisbane.com to see where the hot sopts are.

Cruising Saturday night at the goldcoast Broadwater Carpark good for a look and then play boy racers on the way back to brissy on the M1 around 11:30

Cruising Sunday Arvo at “the spit†Gold Coast

Wed Test and tune at Willowbank raceway (if it is on)

Saturday you will probably find some sort of racing ther also

Drinking

Thursdays night in the city you will find all the uni kids out

Friday all the office people go out for drinks

Sat a mixture of all from bogans to pillfreaks

Thats all steriotypical you can have a good time any night but these nights are often seen specific as for instance uni students get discounts on tursdays...

Personally I usually do Saturday nights at Mebas on Gold Coast and Sunday arvo at somewhere like the regatta or any one of the small trendy bars in the valley.

Other Stuff

Check out the gold coast or the Sunshine Coast lots of things to do you will find your own fun.

Mt Gravatt lookout to see the pretty city lights at night

Southbank is nice also has markets on the weekends

Theme parks

Steve Erwins Australia zoo, also if your into bush walk type things the glasshouse mountains are nice to climb and in the same area

Mt Tambourine is nice for some rain forest walks

Byron bay is not too far south and good for a day trip - sun surf and stoners

Day trip to North Stradbroke island

Mt Nebo / Mt Glorious Good drive nice scenery not far from city

Orileys National park another good drive and cool treetop walk through rainforest worth a look

Shopping probably best bet is in the CBD queen street

That’s all I can think of atm I would be keen to hear other opinions as i have a friend coming from Canada and am stressing about where to take him.

Cheers,

Dan

haha nice mate, i ventured to family last time.. i was a mess though cant remem much. Think i may have been at GPO as well but again a few nights were just a blur.

I take it that most the places are in the valley though... but some were terrible i went into one, and every1 looked like 13yr old pill poppers.

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
