Hi everybody !

I'm stephane, a french student at macquarie Uni .... I registered on this site because i like Japanese cars, especially skylines (unfortunately we don't have this one in France!)

I have some questions for you :

1/ I saw at macquarie uni a few skylines, and i'd like to know if the drivers are registered here !?

2/ I think you have some kind of meetings for sport cars, and i'd like to know where it is, and when ... (In france for exemple it's every friday night, at a specific place, with a few runs....)

3/ Do you have around Sydney some circuits ? I just want to have a look, i don't have any car here ...

4/ If somebody is living around Marsfield, and accept to have a drink and talk about skylines, it would be a pleasure !

It's the bad point when you're international student, no car any more, no friends to speak about swap and runs, ... so if you can help me ... Thankssssssss Steph

This weekend has 2 good events to go watch;

Eastern Creek Open day on Saturday, MDTC day on Sunday.

Eastern Creek is a Sydney based track, lots of good spots to watch from, also EC is quite easy to get to.

MDTC is a much smaller place, the track is 1km long. This one is about 90mins south of Sydney by car, the speeds arent as high as EC.

There should be Skylines at both places :ermm:

Thursday nights there are a few people who meet up north of Sydney and go up the central coast. We dont have runs though, we leave that to the track :D

We have a members only track day in May, that shall be fun!

I notice you dont have a car...my R33 is for sale!! :ermm:

Hey Steph

I live in Marsfield, and drive past the uni accommodation a couple of times a day. Chances are I'm one of the skylines you've seen (White R33 GTS-T)..

As Chris said - the runs are left for the track.. Wednesday nights at Eastern Creek they have drags for street cars. As for illegal street drags, if they still happen in Sydney you probably wont find out about them on the internet. Police are pretty tough when it comes to street racing so it's far far underground now.

Thanks for all your answers !!

For Eastern creek tomorrow, i already have plans :cheers: but i had a look on their website, for next events !!

MDTC is unfortunately too far for me .... :)

@evil_weevil : i like your car, but i already spent my money for studying here lol ! Good luck for your sale !

@primordial : i saw some white R33, maybe it was you ! I actually live in front of the woolworth (balaclava rd)...

do you take part in wednesday nights at eastern creek ?

Well weekend after this one (April 10th - 13th) is a drift day at Oran Park, north circuit. Skylines aren't seen much at these days, but majority of cars are Japanese (RSP13, S14, AE86, KE70, the odd A31 ect ect)

Thinking about attending it to see what my Stagea wheels can do. Hopefully in 3rd gear I can burn tyres and not clutch :cheers:

do you take part in wednesday nights at eastern creek ?

nah dont do the drags on wednesdays, I prefer track racing personally.. my car is not really set up for drag anyway.. suspension is too hard! :cheers:

at that woolworths every now and then so it could have been me.. there are plenty of white R33's around though :)

i use to frequent mac uni and balaclava road that area. And use to wait at the bus stop opposite the car park!

i'll be there in a hour or so to wait for my gf you can come down and say hi if you want

oh ps it's a white r33

i got to mac uni - you would have seen my white R34 in the car park a few times - would be happy to chat if you like

:D R34 Liner! i think ive seen you at Maq Uni... i go there to!

silver r34? might of seen me as well Steph?

    • Hi all,   anyone know where I can pick one of these up for a reasonable price? I just resprayed my rear trunk due to fuel stain and my new muse spat install.    added a photo for some content 🤣👍   thanks 
    • Consider a 35 too...
    • He's right ~ there is no 'magic' with stuff like this ... it is more likely that in the process of looking for the short, the loom/wire 'incidentally' got moved in the process, thus removing the short ~ now, that maybe a wire (in a loom) rubbing against the edge of some grounded metal, that's worn through the insulation, causing the (now intermittent) short to ground. If one wire in a loom has been damaged in this fashion, it's reasonable to presume that other wires beside it may have also be damaged, and now exposed...you can bet the green crusty copper corrosion will start... ...that'd be a pisser, Murphy's Law steps right in as GTS observes...but worse, something like that is easier to find when shorted...ie; unplug bulb and fuse, and put multimeter in continuity mode so you get constant beep, and carefully poke about hoping to find if some movemet of the harness stop the beeping.... ...it's still all a bit Arnie tho' ..It'll be back... 😃
    • Yeah, but knowledge of one wire's insulation worn through to short on earth implies the possibility of other wires doing the same. I had my power steering die, because the wire that runs to the solenoid valve on the rack runs in the same loom as the power wire for the O2 sensor. And when the O2 sensor/wire did something stupid and burnt part of that loom to death, the only indication was the shit(ter) fuel economy and the heavy steering. It took deep excavation of the looms in the bay to find the problem. Not wear through in that case, but similar shit.
    • Ah, I thought he'd wired it to one of the spare ECU inputs! Too long ago since I read that post, ha ha. I've been arguing with radiators, harmonic balancers, alternators and rust since reading it.
