nah not I. dont have either yet....but thats prob a good thing. not enough time in a day atm. esp seeing as the boss has asked us to work saturdays until xmas :(

spent all of today cleaning and polishing the Liner for the SAU charity cruise next weekend :thumbsup: now i just gotta try and keep it clean till then...

who's coming? lets get together for the run down to aspley

I will be on call and we have a major power outage scheduled on the sunshine coast data center to top it off the rest of my team at work is away so I will be alone on this one, so I may not even make it to SCC this year.

u dont see me down at track days, not because of the fact that its not suitable, but because i bought it for the simple fact that i love it, lol.

I brought mine to power it up and put it on a track as well as have as a street car, I drive to and from work and that's about it atm on the weekends events are on I am always on call so I'd rather have something that I can get my moneys worth out of. I love my skyline but there is no point in owning it if i never get to open it up.

and a 4x4 you can use??? by the sounds of it you need to stop working so much clint, beach's are really only usable by working folk on weekends. :nyaanyaa:

sry i havent been around guys...its the silly season, been doing 50+ hours every week and saturdays.in the proccess of hopefully fixing my PS3.......poor old thing.

whos coming out for SCC tomorrow??? giving my car the final touch ups tonight after a good polish last sundays......my arms need a serious break :yucky:, i have another nice shiney 32 GTR accompanying us also.should be a good cruise. bringing the missus, and shouldnt be too late a day. and as far as i know a Happy laps of some sort included.

Yeah a holiday would be nice, just did 14 hours straight to fix a problem that wasn't really my area. the OT is good but I have no chance of making tomorrow. I love the idea of escaping in the 4x4 on the weekend.

New Plan:

1x 044 in tank fuel pump

1x sard fuel pressure regulator

6x 650cc sard injectors (If they fir without f**king around otherwise place correct replacement here)

1x z32 AFM

1x Hypergear highflow Turbo

1x Tune

All this shall culminate in a spastic amount of power in a daily vehicle.

Then sprints? :thumbsup:

You don't need a fuel reg mang, the stock unit is more than good enough for the job. 650cc injectors are plenty big enough for a high flow (mine's only got 555s) so you won't need to up the fuel pressure at all, and the tunability will come from whatever ECU you run.

NFI if the sard injectors fit or not, but the Nismo items are a perfect fit if they don't.

Hey guys, very random but looking at the option of moving to QLD some time next year and wanted to get some info on what the area I am looking at is like (Which happens to be the Mango Hill/Kallangur/Murrumba Downs/Griffin/Dakabin/Narangba/Deception Bay area) I used to live in QLD but up in Cooroy and didn't get to the brissy area much so don't know anything about what it is like... I don't want to go right in the city but don't want to go too far out either and prefer Nortside lol... So any advice is welcome :laugh: Figured I would ask locals straight up as opposed to basing it off the info and stats I can get off the net!

Hi and welcome,

Most of the area's listed are pretty good I'd avoid Dbay it's a terrible place to live.

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
