Hi all, this is grossly off topic for this website... but anyway I'm looking to transfer my full access membership at the Southern Cross Health Club in Phillip as I'm moving overseas.

So for anyone who is umming and ahhing about getting into shape (or has friends family/friends who need to), this is a good deal... you will not have to pay the $199 joining fee, and would only have to see out the 6 months left on the membership instead of the standard year. And since you would be taking over my membership, you'd get the older cheaper rates of $13 a week. That's it - no joining fee, no transfer fee... $13 a week.

And I benefit because I don't have to pay the $199 cancellation fee (ouch).

Cheers.

apparently southern cross gets packed as a mofo...

I go to Deakin, awesome gym but abit out of the way, been thinking about looking at gyms closer. does anyone know what the Gym's are like at Tuggers pool and erindale? hows there equipment? and are they expencive?

Bullet32 and I go to the Southo gym, Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday evenings are almost a no-go with how busy it gets

Any other time of the week I find it pretty good

Tuggers is pretty small.. and all these HEROES stand and/or sit in the way of equipment and take up space. I went there once, and never went back.

Erindale has improved in the past 12 months. They've introduced new weights, benches, racks. I've been goin there for about 3 years and it does get abit busy during the evenings.. but the perv makes up for it.

Membership is around $30ish a fortnight.. pool, sauna, pump classes and all that, gym.. and if u refer a friend you get $2 off your fortnightly deductions.

I looked at the Tuggers pool one a while back, looked pretty shoddy, and only a small room or two.

I think sutho, although not the biggest is size of all the gyms, has the most useful equipment. I went to CISAC for a while, but although it was massive in area, seemed to be lacking a few key machines. I think all gyms get crazy on mondays after work when people remember how fat they are.

On thing I can say about CISAC is it has better eye candy. There's no attractive chicks at sutho :D

Tuggeranong sucks. It is small and doesn't have a good selection of free weights. There is a new one opening next door. Not sure what it will be like.

Southern Cross is one of the best in Canberra but yes it can be busy.

I go to the ANU. Not the main part which gets really busy but the older one next to it. It is part of the weight lifting club so it has all the free weights you could want plus it is nice and cheap :mrt:

what a dumb bell ahohohoho

terrible

anyway, used to go to the Erindale vikings gym when i was in college and it was pretty decent. Was a bit small but was never packed and had all the machines you needed. Also one time i ate too much before going to the gym and, in my friends words, produced the most vomit he has ever seen in his life (in the sink, not machines). Took me so long to get it all down the sink, fun times...

    • Cheers. Skyline is back on the menu, can’t get rid of it. It’s like a child you don’t want, or herpes 
    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
