No GT wing, JUN wing stands with the standard wing.

Which day was this? Saturday was mad, couldn't find a park anywhere so I left again.

would have been saturday. also saw this morning 2 white r33 gtrs on the m1 one had elite workshop stickers on it., and a r32 gts-t with plates gry32.

Hi guys.

I'm Jacky and I've recently purchased a 4 door 99 Skyline GTX34 Vspec. Metallic Blue. The car is totally stock at the moment but I'm planning to do it up in future. I live in Ashmore, GC.

Saw a Skyline 33 Black flashing high beam behind me on Bundall road heading to southport one afternoon. Sorry if i didn't say hi to you ;)

I'm shy so sorry if i don't smile or wave back.

Saw Choyda today about 12:15 at intersection of Cavendish & Boundary/ Holland road, pretty sure you didn't see me, i think that corner had ur full attention :P

Woo hoo, finally spotted. I don't remember seeing a skyline there but i would have waved. Yes that corner was nice and the light was clearly orange ;)

I saw a skyline tonite. It was white, an R33, and had one of those special little wings people get now a days. It also had a stuffed left head light. Btw, if you are the owner of this car DO NOT TAILGATE ME EVER AGAIN WHILE I AM IN THE SLOW LANE DOING THE SPEED LIMIT!!! Then do not proceed to cut me off. If you do it again, look out!

Im sorry, I just dont like tailgaters, its my PET hate on the roads, especially when Im in the slow lane!

*bad week.*

IM so pissed off... I see so many Skylines driving around, and i know they notice me. yet no one has posted saying they have seen me.... :(

Seriously, has no one seen me driving around North Brissy?

Meh

Nah that wasn't me... :(

but come on, someone has to see a Silver R34 GT T silver coupe plates read.. BRR 87 i know that its a lame plate, but come on.. someone see me..

Just wave or blow me a kiss or something.

p.s i need to go to a cruise or meet ASAP, hopefully one with skylines and no more commordore/corolla bogans.

Spotted a Silver Vk commorode with rb26dett sticker on the boot.....

Thought it was a joke till it hit boost and roared down gympie rd.... Near Aspley.... Didnt even sound like an rb motor.... Must be the stock commodore exhaust system.... Was quick tho.... Probably would be able to keep up tho. Wasent super fast.... Sounded auto too...

Its probablly just a vl turbo engine with a 25/26 head....

Number plates were trade plates and the car was looking pretty shabby.... IE. unroadworthy....

Couldnt see how it would be registered as it was very clunky in suspension terms and had 3 different rims on it and rear tyres were bald (could see steel radials on the rears)

Also spotted 32 GTR in gun metel gray parked out side hyundai on gympie rd kedron. Plates were sunshine state plates so it must have been around for a while.

Also spotted r34 gtt outside my house.... Know idea who it was or what they were doing... Answering mobile i think.... Looked and sounded stock standard....

Lastley spoted Ferrari enzo on old northern rd yesterday near eatons hill. Was very red and sounded like a weed eater.... Wasent gonna say that cause it would eat anything on the road....

Just got back from airport and saw an r31 sedan (blue and silver two toned i think) with intercooler hanging out the front. He waved as did I, looked nice and clean passing at 80kph.

Then as i was looking i was overtaken by a very fast bike of some sort who then over took like 13 cars in a row.... He was FLYING....

Was most certainlly an enzo... I love ferrari's and know them well... Almost as well as skylines....

Had prestiege plates "WERICH" i assume that means "WE RICH" as in loaded with money.... After searching forums high and low I have found the enzo spotted all over Brisbane. Speculation is that the owner lives at Hamilton as it is most commonlly spotted there.

Their are 2 enzo's in Qld... I think 9 total shipped to Australia. Remember only 120 were made... So its a rare car...

The one that was used at the recient motorshow was a PD car for a sydney based customer. So there you go Ferrari's 101 col style.

Also note this is not the most rare ferrari nor expensive. The rarest and most expensive ferrari of them all is a 1 off 1958 roadster built for the man himself based on the le-mans chassis. It is displayed in the ferrari museum behind thick glass. I think i have a photo somewhere. The car itself was sold in the 70's to an american collector and then re-purchased by ferrari in the 80's.

Thats a solid investment...

    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
