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.

the only problem is my radio is still jap spec with the shitty booster and its a bitch to find channels...

im kind of waiting for mum to sell her car so i can scam the bluetooth hu i got for her a while ago :)

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.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
