So the missus has just informed me that she needs a holiday and has booked us a flight to the middle of nowhere to visit family... i really wanted to drive there but it was a last minute decision by the boss :(

Will be there over xmas new years period anything that i shouldn't miss out on while I'm there, Ive been told it gets pretty dead as everyone leaves to go visit relys Etc.

But Im stuck there for 10 days so will need some entertainment to prevent the relys from driving me crazy.

How longs it take to drive to that big rock can u get there and back in a day..Anything else worth seeing..

Cheers

Cool so the missus got out just in time to take the trip up here and I now understand why no-one has taken the time to reply..

There is just so much going on here, there is a dust festival on, plus a sunbaking and fly swatting contest and the shopping centre is so busy that most have closed their doors, Im guessing they couldnt handle the Xmas rush..

The Gap View hotel gets pretty exciting around 2pm but dies off just as quick, and the cue at the Drive thru bottle-O was a record breaker im sure, im talking down the street here..Bojangles wasnt half bad either and I tried my first NT draught here and well, it definately tasted like beer

Apparently theres a big rock and some desert parks (not sure what that means yet but i guess it is a desert with swings) out here somewhere thats about the most exciting thing to do so maybe i should go do it.. :thumbsup:

NB..i have seen a white soarer a blue wrx and a black rx7 but no skylines....

Dude it's too hot here to do anything at the moment. I live here and have a R32 GTR with 520kw at wheels and a R33 GTR with 330kw at wheels. Probabably about 7 GTRs in town including my two. Also my missus drives a blue WRX, heaps of WRxs in town (probably 30 or so) Most peole here drink XXXX too mate.

      Crank Motorsports Front Axles

      By Josh K. · Posted

      Is anyone running these axles? R32, R33, R34 GTR front Axles. shafts itself rated 950hp. Suit all RB26 engines Croydon, Melbourne, Victoria Would be nice to pay half the cost of Driveshaft Shop Axles. I'm building an AWD S13 Coupe that is very low ride height (high cv angle) compared to stock R32. Has an RB30 with appx 600whp. Just looking for feedback. Thanks, Josh- https://www.instagram.com/feng_shui_garage/

      Report that engine failure

      By CEF33Y · Posted

      Thread bump, again! Although, no bad news this time. Posting for the sake of possible root cause. Basically, I rebuilt it (mostly stock), installed Haltech + sensors, had it running fine on new ECU.  Still not really understanding why it cracked pistons last time. Got to tuners, and while checking timing, noticed +-10deg of timing scatter while revving. Changed CAS, and it was rock solid. While not definitive, can't imagine seeing 20+ psi with that amount of scatter would be a good thing. Also glad I found something.   Bit more of a run down; Carried out a stock rebuild, a set of stock pistons, out of a spare bottom end. Everything stock apart from head studs and oil restrictors. (so I can pretend I didn't let the Nissan out, ha.) Armed with the measuring gear and FSM, set about doing overhaul. Oil restrictors as per oil control thread for a RB25, stock oil pump, drifting. Head drain/vent from rear of head, to passenger side of sump above oil level. Two dash 10 vent lines from drivers side of sump (unused atm) Hi octane style cam cover breather kit Splash covers over last 2 cam caps. Both breather lines from cam covers to vented to atmosphere catch can, not plumbed back into sump (wanted to see what it was actually breathing). Got it run in (did about a 1000km) no to low boost scenario, As I had questions over old ECU setup. Installed haltech +sensors for flex Retune on E85 (finding CAS Issue along the way), made 300rwkw at 20psi, out of wastegate. Did a drift day the next day (yes, it was a big weekend!) and was checking catch can throughout the day, ZERO blowby. I mean nothing. Lines from cam covers are not even wet. Done a bunch of street driving, spirited and catch can is still dry. Early days I guess, but pretty happy so far. Also now run 10w60, up from the 10w40 that I used to run. Oil pressure is significantly better, especially when hot (as you would expect)
