look around ebay and the tradingpost

i got mine for $3300. needed some small bits n peices like bungs, another seat, a rubber floor mat(they get slippery!)

around this time next year, we are looking to upsize to a 8 metre one. should be some fun :/

oh and phatboy. if you persevere, you can pickup a good V hull, about 18ft for around that price. make sure its got all the saftey shit and NO SOFT SPOTS.

or you can swap your R34 GTR for mine :D

haha might sell the boat for 6k!

dads mate showed some considerable interest and i told him what i want(i was joking but he took it seriously..)

looks like a bigger boat might come sooner rather than later

Edited by GTR-boy
Hahaha that's what I call a quick upgrade

i know hey, f**k this years off to a great start! :)

also getting my p's in sept, and my little beasty coming around june :(

now to the point, i think i should get nismoid to change the thread name to the fishing thread.

and if i buy a bigger boat, i can start going to portland to chase tuna and mako sharks :cool:

mmmm what rod out fits you guys using?

im using a penn 220gt overhead reel with 16kg mono with a penn 28kg leader. (for the boat)

for the piers a 1.8m with a jarvis walker conventional reel(6kg line)

for the surf beachers, a 2.4m rod with a jarvis walker eggbeater baitcaster with 10kg line

getting the trailer regoed on thursday, then buying a sounder and GPS and should be ready to hit the bay!

1. casting setup Fenwick idonnowhat rod 10-20, shimano chronarch, PE2 line

2. Some japanese rod, Dogtooth special or something, and Avet SX with P6 line. Used for hunting those 15kg+ groupers off the malaysian wrecks.

I've got a pretty basic, beginner setup.

River/Pier, 4 kg line

Soft plastics: 6/6" Escape with ET graphite/cork rod and Alivia 2500FB reel

Bait fishing: 6/6" Jarvis Walker Fishhunter + spinner reel combo

Surf, 9 kg line

12" Jarvis Walker Fishunter + spinner reel combo

its a pretty long drive eh?

The last i heard, some guys went there and caught nothing but weeds, then again, they were fishing.

3 and half hrs! gotta shot up there after work should be good!

Your right the last i've been up there caught no fish, but a shit load of crabs!!!!!!!!

but this time i am hoping for some nice breams!!! fingers cross!! wish me luck lol

better off to hunt for just the crabs.. are they blue swimmers?

Or what weird crabs are they? I've never been able to get a proper answer from anybody. I've only had experience with mudcrabs, I catch them with a torchlight and a long handled net back home, walking along river banks.

I reckon from bream, pippies or prawns work awesome, but use a lighter leader. Once i was at docklands during my lunch break, and caught nothing on 20lb leader, but once i swapped it to 12lbs, i caught something, so try it out. Sometimes its the bait presentation.

thanks for that!the crabs there are blue swimmers! awesome to eating ! :blink: cant wait

so they're blue swimmers, okay then they don't sound too bad, i love blue swimmers, they're awesome just steamed. alright, now its justified.

but when there are crabs, there isnt much fish to catch, because the crabs will get your bait before the fish do.

^ My mrs birthday is coming up soon and she wants to go fishing so i am thinking of taking her away for the weekend.

As above anyone know any good spots where its a sure catch, even for a little fish to excite her and that we can put up a tent or somewhere nearby that is nice to stay? (has to be land)

Any info is truly appreciated! :P

Alvin is there a site for it? Struggling to find anything on this, although it does ring a bell. Any idea if there's accommodation and or pricing for fishing or was it per trout/size?

From memory my friend gets a houseboat there unless im thinking of the wrong place.

nah, they've got a few ponds there, stocking various sizes of trout, if the prices haven't changed, its $2/entry and $14/kg for the trout, but the thing is, they only weigh the fish after gutting it, so it ends up cheaper than the fish mongers and more fun, well, they even have equipment rental, but its not as fun without your own. I go there to test out new tackle.

    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
