Welcome to the family. So which model are you now the proud owner of ?

A Black R33 GTS-T. Like i said in the intrductory post, I technically live in NSW, just over the border. But I work (and play :P ) on the Gold Coast. Was previously driving a Hyundai Excel - first drive in the Skyline i thought i was piloting a rocket ship in comparison.

I'm not a big car person... and havn't ever seen a car and though "I want that". But the Skylines were always the one exception. So i figured why not join in on the community side of things too. Looking forward to joining the club in the future also.

I would probably suggest a cruise to start with as a meet and greet, check out each others rides, etc.

then there would be no awkwardness at a dinner table when not knowing anyone :D

Hi QWK-GTR

Welcome to the coast. A cruise/ meet would be great. let me know when u plan on one & i'll try to make due to me doing shift work. Been hanging out for a cruise since the big one in 07 (SCCo7).

Cheers :P

I think that if you guys give enough notice and pick a place with good variety of food (Noel only eats steak...) you could get a few of us Brisbanites to come down too. I know I want to take my 'line for a spin once I get it back.

Yeah i agree. However I think we will lose afew interests, as alot of people are abit tight when it comes dinner nights and also abit shy to attened. Whereas an open area for a meet and greet, they can leave when ever they wish.

Thats why a combination of the 2 is fantastic. An Open area for meet and greet/chating, then a cruise somewhere. Then head to dinner, those who dont wana come canhead off. Makes sense to me :S

Lets make it for Friday 14th....

Most people have things planned for a week night or prefer not to go out, so better idea would be for a Friday night.

I'll update 1st post soon once those who agree with Friday night to be good for them!

    • Hi, wondering if the HKS bar and water reservoir still available? Thanks 
    • What an awesome idea to fit the facelift Lamborghini Diablo headlights. They are a perfect fit!
    • An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it
    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not
