Inner West Crew Whoretown (toowong/st Lucia/kenmore/indooroopilly And Sometimes Sunnybank?)

So I get bored easily, and I dunno anyone local. Back home in Melb we used to have a little posse of SAU'ers, all around the same age and mentality... mostly students at Uni, with some regular sports cars. We meet up once a fortnight or week for a small cruise, grab some dinner, work on each others cars, go to the movies or play poker etc. Very social and nothing too car orientated, no attitudes and no egos.

Anyways, me and a mate do this up here as well in Brissy, and there's buttloads of imports we see around, but not many seem active. we were thinking of trying to get more people into this little group... so... If you're local, post up, and I'll try and organise a little meet up that's local.

Thanks for the reminder mate :D think a visit's long overdue. Might try and pop in on the weekend sometime, I'll call ahead to double check.

Hehe, I doubt you'd be up for the 10pm late night bubble tea runs I had in mind with this little thread tho. :banana:

Mate I'm on a whacked out schedule now, usually still up around 2am. Got me another V8 Soarer with a very nice soundtrack, so I'm enjoying driving again. GTR tends to be too harsh unless I'm feeling really good and the Ute, being an Oz built car is just POO! I'm intrigued by bubble tea now.

But you are welcome anytime. A quick buzz to make sure but chances are I will be here.

Ooh! me me!! im in Those inner suburbs that you talk about!!... I live right next to Paint chipz & LoLZ performance!...

You're a frikkin comedian.

Yes, those who join this merry band will be privvy to Paint Chips and LOLs performance tuning.

hahaha - actually i drove past the other night, there were these candles walking around - it spooks you until u see the whole crowd of ppl walking around holding them lol

Yeah Kenmore’s my stomping ground. Put something together and ill be keen.

For all your performance parts come see us, Hiro Performance. You may have seen the black R34 driving round that area.

might be putting together a local pizza meet this thursday or something. Stay tuned, will PM people who posted up in this thread more info once confirmed.

I see a yellow R34 GTt parked on High St everyday I go to work. Wonder who that is.

Also, where's all the St Lucia guys I see around at UQ?

    • That's probably OK. That's a face to face compression joint between two surfaces with the clamping load provided by those bolts. So.... it's unlikely that the bolts will end up feeling that load in shear, unless the clamping surfaces are not large enough, bolts not got enough tension on them, etc etc to prevent the two faces from moving wrt each other. Which... I would hope the designers have considered, seeing as it's probably one of the most important things the upright has to do apart from resist collapsing in its own right. But yes, it would definitely be worth asking them what their safety factor on that part of the design was. I tend to think that the casting, being a casting, is not necessarily the strongest bit of material in the world. It's about an inch square, and when you think about the loads that are being put into it, you have to wonder what safety factor the Nissan boys (and every other OEM engineer who has designed all the millions of other uprights that look essentially the same) used to account for defective casting, aging, severe impacts on the wheel, etc etc. 
    • Those bolts would be orders of magnitude stronger that cast aluminium though.  And its mainly clamping force, not shear they are dealing with?
    • Except all that twisting force that is breaking a cast piece, appears to be going through 4 bolts in the picture Johnny posted of the BryPar one...
    • The smart approach is to use the gearbox loom from the manual car. Makes it a lot easier - just plugs into the switches on the box and plugs into the main loom up near the fusebox. Then you only need to deal with bypassing the inhibit switch. The other approach requires you to use the wiring diagram to identify those wires by colour and location, perhaps even indulging in a little multimeter action to trace them end to end to make sure, and then.... you will have the answers you need. The R34 wiring diagram is available on-line (no, I do not have a link to it myself - I would have to do a search if I wasn't able to go to the copy I have at home).
    • Hi, i’m converted my r34 4dr auto to manual but need help with gearbox wiring. There are bunch of wires no idea which one for speedo drive, neutral, reverse can anyone help me. IMG_6860.mov
