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.

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
