Mackay is the HSV capital of Australia, why are the locals letting you cut in on their market? watch your back while your up there... :nyaanyaa:

With regards to that 33, considering its got no rego i'd expect 20K for it. Considering he was asking 23K for it before, it seems pretty normal.

Haha yes i know but when the local dealer is charging 5k more for the same product and offering crap service then it is easy to move cars up there. They should be making a killing up there but they dont.

Yup. sell new holden and hsv. well trying to atm as it is very quiet.

Ahh really? I bought a new holden at work yesterday, a colorado. What dealer are you at? Should have talked to you >_<

Morning Mangs. Nother day nother dollar fiddy. :thumbsup:

I only get the fiddy :(

On the flip side I get free steak and my job description is "make sure hot chicks get drunk and have a good time" so I guess it kind of evens out :)

I'll ask some of my mates if they're willing to go take a look.

Also, what makes it dodgy?

It is as close to stock as you will find, low km's with documents. Price is comparable to other BNR33's of the same year.

If you know anyone in that area, I'm willing to pay for their time to drive out there etc.

I thought it looked a little bit dodgy due to it being "stock" and for some reason having carbon bits on the exterior and through the interior, as well as the engine being too clean to be 15 years old. Having said that though, could have just been given a full detail when it was brought into the country. He says he has 12months rego, I might send him an email today and ask more about it.

I will have to drive it back to brisbane so I'm hoping it won't fall apart 20 k's down the road. It seemed dodgy because it looks just too good to be true, considering the cleaner, *low* km ones are about 23-26. Having said that it I'd be kicking myself if next week someone else posts up they got it for a steal and it's in tip top condition.

Mackay... ugh. I lived there from year 11 - year 12. At our year 12 graduation I was surprised at the lack of ambition amongst the kids there. We were asked to say what we wanted to do after school and the presenter would read it out as we came on the stage to accept the certificate. 98% of the girls said "Become a hairdresser and marry a rich miner" 98% of the guys said "Get a trade and work in the mines." Needless to say I jumped ship that day and drove to Brisbane (on my L's whattuppppp) 4 years on I'm now IT for BHP.. so I guess I went the same way haha.

Get trade, work in mines, ?????, Profit!

Truck drivers up there make at least double what I do, tradesmen more like 3 times what I make. I often wonder what I am doing running pubs... But then I go back to finishing the cocktail I'm making for the hot blonde with big tits ;)

They're also dropkicks. I've been up there a few times and they certainly work for their money .. well most of them do anyway. Talking 12 - 16 hour shifts for 7 days in a row with 3 days off, or alternate rosters such as 5 on 2 off etc. My favourite is 7 on 7 off but that's either Mt Isa or Groote Eyelandt.

I think a lot more people here in Brisbane are catching onto it, certainly a lot of the younger guys are anyway. Mackay 5 / 6 years ago when I moved up there was hard to find rent for our family when I was living with my Mum, I'd hate to imagine it now considering how flooded it is with young guys and HR licenses.

Agreed. Most contracts you see via Brisbane are 14/7 or 8/6 FIFO so not too bad when you're pulling down six figures plus. I've looked at jobs running the camps and F&B operations in the mines as well. Great coin for what I basically do now, not sure if I could handle the isolation and the lack ofcontact with people other than CUB's.

I honestly wouldn't relocate or work up there full time in my field. The work is better but there's only a 10k site allowance on top of usual salary now if I was on the usual 5/2 roster for the bowen basin, I'd be getting on a flight on a friday night and flying back sunday night, with a group of mates here and into cars etc, I'm not sure the extra $80 a week is really worth it which is why I go up there for the occasional switch upgrade every once and a while, it works out better financially as they pay for flights up and back whereas normally you would be on your own there.

I should also add that IT are the lowest paid on site.

    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
    • There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU. 
    • Any idea where I can get genuine MAF apart from used ones? I can't find any only for GTRs and unfortunately that price is not in my budget 🤣 I might gap my plugs down and put my splitfires in, they were only in for a year or so before I started the rebuild
