Just wanting to know how many Ballarat skyline owners are on the forums. I spot quite a few skylines during my day and have never met the owners of the majority. Post a pic of your car and whatever else you feel like sharing.

Do any of the SAUVIC members often visit Ballarat for a cruise up the Highway? Who have you spotted?

Yeah i work with Cass at IBM some of the time :(

We've got 3 Skylines there as far as i know.. and one 180.

ghettoracer: i think i saw you the other day.

We should try and arrange for a meet, check out the cars and swap some stories about mechanics! (i know my mechanic reads this forum, so his labor costs might come down strangely..)

used to always go past the IBM centre when i used to visit my grandparents in Grenvale

if thats the one? you turn off before you actual get into Ballarat when your coming from Melb?

- Yeah thats the one. On the Corner. I'm also at the mine... Ballarat Goldfields a lot.

I'm on the way to Ballarat from Melbourne, Melton. Who is your mechanic in Ballarat?

- I go to Peter from Performance and Race tech in Delacombe. lots of experience building up cars. he usually has about 5 or 6 skylines in the garage at any one time :down: lol

LOL!

What's taking Cass so long to get to this thread?

I use to live in Ballarat too.

Because Cas regularly gets busted on SAU at said work, and my bosses don't like it :)

HI ROB

You arent at work much anymore.

This upsets me.

    • Thanks mate, couldn't find in VIC, ended up ordering one from NSW, getting rwc to get new plates and registration done.
    • Before all the EFR fan boys come in, have a look at: https://www.garrettmotion.com/racing-and-performance/performance-catalog/turbo/g-series-ii-g30-825-58mm/ It also comes in a T4 1.06 divided housing. I would dare say if you want response & also decent power, this thing would chop.   AND apologies, just re-read your post, you've already bought the turbo... whatever you do, make sure you stick with divided housing and proper twin scroll manifold.
    • People have got to stop doing that. ShatGPT is not a search engine. It is a hallucination factory.   I also would recommend the 1.05. The .83 will "work" for you , in that it will be more responsive, but I think you'll find that it won't be anywhere near as good running it out to 8000rpm as the big housing will be.
    • Decided for the first time ever I would tow my car TO the track day on the same working theory as bringing tools and spares "if I have it I wont need it, but if I leave it behind i will 100% need it" all setup and ready to go out and try these A050 for the first time First session showed I needed to stiffen up the dampers a touch but still managed a few 1:21's without much effort. things were looking good. Came in a dropped the tyres down  to 26/28 as they had gotten to 35/33C from 22C cold The first lap of session two I managed to drop into 1:20's. Then in the second lap into the second session. Coming into T3 and I suddenly lost brake pedal followed by some huge rear end vibrations and scraping sounds. Got it back into the pits after session ended and found this. in the attached video, all of the wobble is in the hub its self, wheel is mint, and bearing feels tight. lKXLqpd - Imgur.mp4   Deciding it was a bent spindle I tried to find bearing/hub assembly locally but was unsuccessful so it was loaded back onto the trailer i luckily brought it on to drag it back home
