Awesome, i was hoping there was a crew up there, theres maybe 12 skylines in total in coffs harbour and most are unfortunately crashed into a pole haha I was also gunna ask as well, who can i get in touch with for some painting work as my 34 was one of the oh so lucky ones to come with that massive 'altia' wing on it, which i ripped off. I was gunna get it done down here but if i can find someone who looks after imports or sau members it could be a massive help!!

Plus i look forward to meeting everyone!!

Hey guys, thanx for all the information!!

Where is it locally known to not drive through or park your car? like at night time? or even parking at Shopping centres etc,

I have appropriate security on it but will be investing in a gps tracker quite soon.

Ok that seems fine enough. What about more closer to the gold coast? i avoid parking at places in coffs harbour atm at night because we have problems arising down here as well, so happy to be moving but yeh need to know these places guys!! haha

Just get a good alarm. Nowhere in SEQ is safe. i had a car stolen from about 2m from my bedroom window. had a 3" turbo back and no muffler. was insanley loud so no way they drove it.

its a real shame but SEQ is full of low lifes. Places like robina and harbour town have all been hot spots in the past. Locked in ur own garage at night and a kicakss alarm are best. See Chris roger, most peopel recomend him.

Awesome sounds good, i just a expensive alarm fitted to the car and will be later on investing into gps tracking. I love my car too much haha, Also is there anyone who knows any decent mechanics in the seq area and also any decent body shops? i had that stupid altia wing on my car and want the holes patched up and resprayed, plus the boot lid has some rust and the holes so i wanna get it all patched up. So is anyone kind to skyline owners up north????

      98 R34GTT 4k engine stumble

      By JC71 · Posted

      forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k.

      98 R34GTT 4k engine stumble

      By JC71 · Posted

      neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock.

      Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
