Yeah last night fuel was about 6c/ltr cheaper in yeppoon than it was in rocky.

Did a lap around yeppoon last night, saw nothing, and on my way home did a "lap" around the circut in rocky and there was nothing too....... meh I'm not really into the lapping thing anyway :domokun:

its actually cheaper up here for ultimate, as i found out driving back on tuesday ....

33SOM are there many imports or skylines in bilo?

There a fair few for the size of the place.. But no cruises etc lol

Id go to rocky for a cruise one day but the roads a lil... umm not good..

Yeah I thought I'd raise my stagea before I got here, thank god I did, but now am seriously thinking of raising it futher, other than the main roads here in rocky, all of them suck dogs balls and are rougher than being a prodistant and walking into a catholic pub in northern ireland!

I lived on a farm near Emerald for many years and went to highschool there, left in 2003... own a black R34 GTT which was up there around easter... it's still ford/holden/shitbox 4cyl central... didn't see any nice imports, just a beat-up r32 and rough-sounding 180 spring to mind. Almost lost the license floating at 150 out the back of Rolleston, slowed for a rise and passed a copper at a tick under 120 :|

Oh, and in regards to the first few pages (from many moons ago) I too remember the chameleon piles of shit - forgotten the smash repairs guy who had the gold rodeo and chenara's vs commodore... reminds me of the quality of the lapping scene :yes:

Yeah i didn't think it was that bad, only some of the ghetto streets are that bad. Actually i was shocked hopw bad the M1 is in places when i was in brisbane last week. The Road from Yeppoon to Rocky is much better.

Yeah it is a nice road, wonder when they will make it split all the way?

About the rough roads in rocky, I find that anything but the highway or Yamba/Musgrave/Queen Elizabeth/Fitzroy street is just shat, bumpy, uneven, potholes, and just generally crap to drive on, guess it might be the stiff setup on the stag, but yeah I dont go the "back" way round town, even if it was shorter, it ends up being longer because I have to slow down ~40kph to feel safe.....

Eventually they play dot to dot with yeppoon road and join all the over taking lanes. Their always extending and adding new passing lanes and overtaking lanes.

yeah true about rocky i guess, I drive a work car most of the time so maybe i don't notice it as much. Glenmore road is horrible (i assume thats the back road our refering too).

Yeah Farm Rd sucks dogs balls too!!

Soon I'll be putting 15" rims, so having a tyre that actually has a bit of tyrewall should cushin the bumps a bit, but still going to raise it a bit more, maybe another inch or so, and change the dampening to soften the ride, turn it back into a boat :D

    • Pressure when IDLING, is meant to be 51PSi... So that amperage value needs to go up a fair chunk... I'd personally be factoring for more like 12amp at least on those runs, and at that point you need to hope the already there wiring doesn't drop you a volt or two, as that's a lot of fuel pressure flow drop off from 13.5 to 12V! Taking idle pressure of 51psi, means the pump will be drawing a MINIMUM of 9amps all the time based on your reading of the graph (3bar base, then allowing an extra 0.5bar for boost = roughly 51psi)
    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
