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?

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

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.

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

      What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
