Hey guys!

moving to qld gold coast next week, as I hear its a better life style here. I'm originally from sydney and the prices here are crazy. I know in QLD i can get a apartment with water views for less than $300...which is insane! wow

I'm a car enthusiest. live and breath cars, its just going to be me and my skyline, I know no one in QLD :(

so where do I start? lol what are the main attractions here, any good tuners you guys can recommend?

am I making the right decesion?? :O

ive always wanted to move to QLD...seems so much nicer. altho I have to start fresh, new place..new job etc etc

any advice guys is appreciated.

cheers!

You mean a room for $300 sharing with someone else, right?

Nightlife:

GC is good but don't be a smart arse late at night in the clubs - it's at least as rough as Kings Cross, sometime worse.

Tuner:

People (and fellow tuners) usually recommend EFI at Yatala. I've never been to a tuner outside of Sydney so I can't confirm.

Main attraction of GC:

The beach, chicks in bikinis, perving, surfing, fishing, ice-cream. That is all. Almost everything else is in Brisbane. Most people prefer to live in Brisbane and drive to GC every 2nd weekend in summer (it's only 45 minutes away). GC in winter is horrible.

ERD out at yatala for you car needs

Talk to Chris Rogers on here about an alarm if you don't have one because cars have been getting stolen like crazy at the coast, especially from shopping centers.

Apart from that, welcome and enjoy your stay

Gold Coast is ok, not some where I would set myself up to live at but thats just my opinion, the Sunshine Coast is alot nicer IMO.

Gavin Wood Autotech - Ashmore - Word has it he had a hand in the Group A GTRs back in the 90s....so very good with Skyrines.....nice web site too.

Oh yeah, stay away from the Carparks across the road from SeaWorld at night. When it happens you will know why I said "stay away!!" Trust me its good advice.

    • Ok so will run the piping over that radiator and no plenum it is. Put that money towards a Haltech and see what suits. Any ideas something like an elite 2000 or 2500 right? My long term goal is 300kw e85 and manual swap and that’s a dream come true. For now will be 200kw and auto the stock rb25det neo intake isn’t too expensive with throttle body. If I was to have the port matching done, Would that be better than the stock de intake as the det has bigger holes plus has the spots for sensors etc? And suit more long term?  appreciate the advice?   
    • You understand AFR is not the only thing that contributes to it pinging yeah? Funnily, what the AFR gauge will tell you when it likely is pinging, is going to make you think things are really safe and good.
    • Run the piping how we all have for decades. Also the duel runners with the +T setup dramatically helps it gets on boost quicker. Yes, chase huge power it'll become a problem, but you're a long way off when you're already saying an aftermarket ECU is out of the budget. You also say NisTune as it's simple, and then immediately say it'll be painful, meaning... It won't be simple. It will likely cost you a lot more stuffing around with a Nistune, than just putting a Haltech or similar in.
    • I’ll order an afr gauge to keep an eye on it.  Then will get a haltech soon 
    • TD05 or maybe pulsar PSR2867r Gen 2?  id love a garret but it’s quite out the budget for now and I’m not chasing crazy power.    yeh fuel pump haven’t looked into but whatever works, kind of last on my list.    Nistune because it’s simple but Ik it’s a lot of pain especially as I’m auto +t with the whole seperate TCM etc still investigating that. Haltech id love but once budget tight for now atleast.    finally the reason I’m trying for a plenum instead of the stock intake is I already have a standard Intercooler mounted etc. so the ports are on both sides so trying to not have to go over the clutch fan radiator etc. trying to find a good deal return flow if I don’t than this will do for now I guess. btw any ideas with that, apparently some people have to cut blades to reduce it from hitting the Intercooler piping over the radiator ? Thanks
