I was just talking to Nick recently after seeing a topic post about a melbourne get together.

Anyway, someone has already beat me to it and it sounds like they are expecting a pretty big turnout of vehicles of all types.

Check the link, let's get some stag's together and represent!

Advantage of a Wagon reverse it to the screen, open hatch layback and enjoy the movie. . in comfort. . . like the old days with Mum & Dad....

Come on people!

I was thinking along Paramour's line of thought, open the hatch put the back seats down, pump up the sound system and get comfy!

Nick - hope you can make it man, I'm sick of going to things and being the only Stagea :D

zei20l - is that a yes I'm coming or no I don't associate with NS :(

As for the rest of you, get your ass into top gear and come see the movie!

... or both :P

Plus there is a bevy of beauties in swimsuits and the likes.

We would be good if we could get a few stag's there, but if anyone doesn't like hanging with the crowd (i.e. Hard Tuned, Nissan Sylvia) etc. maybe we can arrange another occasion just for Skylines Australia?!

See what happens.

What happened?

Shed impellors?

What internals are you using or is it GCG?

Exhaust impeller fell off on the trip down to Phillip Island. Whats GCG? Was still drivable but 2T of cars with about 80HP is'nt fun.....was getting outdragged by fully laden B-Doubles

P.S. If this ever happens to you and you have a distance to travel make sure you drive through the gears using the Tiptronic. I found that my gearbox would start overheating(and I don't know why) if I left it in Drive.

GCG do bb HiFlows. They are near Sydney I believe.

This DID happen to me last year (around May I believe), I didn't use tiptronic and it didn't get hot although I had to drive for over an hour (lots of red lights and hills on the way). Turbo-less VQ25 should still be good for ~140kw.

Got some interesting looks due to the sound the turbo was making. Did sound quite amusing, though not funny at the time.

Any details on what the internals will be used for the rebuild?

I cannot get any details on mine. :down:

I'm using Precision Turbo's in Wetherill Park.

I had to drive back from Phillip Island to Sydney....the gearbox spitting fluid happened at about hour 4. No noise from my turbo.....but the front end didn't spin that well either.

I will ask about the internals when I pick it up.....at this stage all I know is steel and Garrett BB's + housing.

      Rusty roof repair

      Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.

      I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent.

      Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.

      Rusty roof repair

      By PranK · Posted

      So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
