I am staying in atherton and working down at the tinaroo dam, we are building a mini hydro electric powerstation at the base of the dam.

Lots of old people around here and lots of old 4wd's around.

I spose a Skyline doesn't make much sense up in the tropics. Its to hot and the roads can't be that great. Although the roads in Townie were OK. They had great wide corners without much traffic and with nice smooth long straights. Leewah was there aboout 2 weeks before I went up and thought that out near the airport in Townie there are some wicked long stretches where his monster could have had a crack at the big three zero zero.

Both Leewah and I agreed that our Lines should go with us next time.

Around where i am the roads are really nice and smooth, but they are very narrow so if a truck is coming the other way u have to put 2 wheels on the dirt to avoid a head on.

I got the shitty BA falcon upto 210 easily, leewah could wind out 300 around where i am easily!!

Hi fellas,

I'm a Cairns resident and will be back in town on Thursday with my latest acquisition. Metallic black R34 GTT (plated 34-GTT). It has some mods but nothing too over the top. I think I'm going to have to do the Rex Range Rd up through Julatten and Mount Molloy as soon as I can.

There are a few Skylines around. The boys at Autobarn in Cairns tell me that there is an R34 GTR in town as well but the guy only wheels it out on weekends.

Cheers

    • Dredgggggeeee time; I have recently finally started driving the car. It sat for so long that the fuel tank gave birth to rust sludge and blocked my lift pump sock and one of my walbro 460's and left grime, rust chunks and muck all through the surge tank and system. I decided to commit and pull the trigger on an oem r32 gtr fuel tank and Frenchys twin 460 / sender / surge tank hanger combo and all new larger lines and fittings etc, also boost doc heater hose kit / new heater core and a heap of other bits and shits like wideband sensor installed in the dump and Syltech iacv + lines and all wired and added to current tune. now having lightly driven it a couple times without issue, I can happily report on the hta3076 in its current tune. still no boost control switched on, 20psi gate springs, car makes 22psi at 3200rpm in 6th gear with 30-50% TPS from cruise at 100kmh. Going by the old graph, this means it should be making 300-325whp at the same numbers above. Very very responsive setup under true road driving loads. all that's left for the build is body loom + PDM, finish the remote aircon setup, install carbon fibre parts and go for full tune and 30psi. the 315 rear tyres are now performing like they're 195's, wheel spin in any gear at almost any rpm, whereas my previous setup hooked up in 3rd no issue, albeit Nt01's back then / RB25 5spd vs (new) old date r888r's Z34 6spd now, + obviously all the support upgrades I listed in the quoted post above. car sits at 1-3psi on cruise at 100kmh, expectations totally exceeded and I'm beyond stoked with all this so far.

    • I've also been eyeing their rear axles for my car. I purchased seat mounts from them about 7 years ago and they were hot garbage so I've been a little wary about purchasing them. With that being said, please buy them and get back to us haha. 
    • Can a moderator please move this into the right category.. I've accidently put this into racing build thread 🤦🏽‍♂️
