hey guys, moved up here for work a few months ago, wanting to get involved in the import scene up here, but dont know how big it is, i come from Victoria and post on the www.supraforums.com.au and have been on there for a long time, but the NT section seems very dead (nobody has posted for like 2 months) so i thought id jump on here and have a look. Car should be up here in a few weeks, (getting some upgrades) and was just wondering what good workshops there are, and how many events Hidden Valley has etc, and if theres many supras up here (ive seen about 5). Ive seen a few gtr's up here actually, but yeah thought id post and get involved!

welcome to SAU dude. you should have stayed in victoria and come with us to our cruises/meets! Anyway, love to see pics of the supra - always a fan of them (was going to get an NA, but after driving a gtst, couldnt go back - and twin turbos were way too exy at the time).

if onyl supras were AWD

arent u driving a FWD celica?

u do realise this is a skyline forum and not a supra forum...?

shouldnt matter dude - its a car forum none the less. Many people on here that dont drive skylines, but drive evos, wrx's, rx's, one even driving an alfa - dont see why this fella should be singled out as a non supra driver....ya dig?

my bad.. didnt even see the supraforum.com part hahah but i am blind :P

welcome to SAU and hopefully u see more ppl post on ur thread :P

cheers mate lol no hard feelings!

yeah ill get some photos up soonish hopefully, might wait because im getting it resprayed soon....

so howz the import scene up here etc? does hidden valley hold many events? are many gathering/cruise nights organised? cannot wait to get back into it!

Welcome aboard mate. seems like darwin is sleeping hey!!

I think most darwin guys use boostcruisin so maybe check out there.

from what I know Hidden valley has a few events, no idea on details though..

Hey there mate. Welcome to Darwin. Which supra is yours. You would have no problems getting a supra cruise going up here as there is shit load of them. Some highly modded some not. When i say highly modded i only mean 400rwhp. Would be good to catch up for a cruise but at posted alot of people up here use Boostcruising.

u do realise this is a skyline forum and not a supra forum...?

Who cares. He is a car enthusiest and that is welcome

cheers mate lol no hard feelings!

Hidden valley hold quite a few events although it is just quieting down now. There is one more meet at the track for drifint and a fun day. That is on the 30th of this month. There is however a motorkhana event on next weekend the 22nd there 30 bucks entry and one of the bet days i have had was the last one. Great fun and very friendly people. Hope to see you there.

Cheers BJ

Is your supra the white one with the KAZ motorsport stickers on it. If so looks bloody nice. Spotted it on the way to dropping my skyline at High Tech Tuning for the computer install

hey mate, na mine isnt up here yet should be up here in about a months time, going down to melbourne for a few weeks holidays.

does hiddenvalley have a website or anything? because i found one site for it but its for drag racing only, anyone know where i can get a program for next year? and where can i get more details for the events on the 22nd and the 30th?

cheers!

i sure do drive a celica. toyota power.

i was just saying, supra should have been AWD, i love the supra, so sexy, but would prefer a gtr because of AWD.

i don't drive a skyline, but will be in the market for one one day, plus, there is always something interesting to read on here.

it's a pretty active forum.

Psssst AWD sucks ass. RWD is so much fun. Well unless you have AWD with the power of RBNT wagon. Then AWD is fun but for a everyday streeter the Supra rocks.

depends wat ur into i have always owned fwd i like handling better than goin side ways, but im buying a s13 silvia so ill c how i like the rwd but im not into drifting to much stuff to hit and loose as one of my mate found out the other day

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
