Have seen pic of wife, Luke's done well for himself lol.

Move to Toowoomba, it's beautiful ;)

And the biggest and may I add only point you should need is the fact that I live here, and the TSO boys always put on a mean feed and piss up (usually utilising Chris's house with attached pool)

... *although Tom (Tommis85) is the only one that swims in it, the rest of us are usually to drunk

Just move you won't regret it :)

You need a reason to come to the most laid back state in australia? Come on mang, srsly

If you want to make bulk money and can handle big hours, come on up, but i can almost guarentee that julia gillard will be sending you a xmas card funded by the tax you are giving her. The weather isnt as bad as some people make it out to be, i grew up in the centre of australia (near three ways road house on a cattle station) and that is hot lads, farkern hot. The beaches are kick ass, the pubs are kick ass, the lifestyle is kick ass, the locals are kick ass(mostly), and the monetary opportunities are kick ass. There are almost infinite holiday destinations at your doorstep as the country north of mackay changes yearly with the weather, you have the reef, awesome fishing, just yeah, stop bieng a phaggot and get up here lol. The only thing you may miss is the shopping and nightclubbing, its not as intense up here, and thats because nobody really gives a fcuk up here lol!

on a serious note though...

Brisbane employment is getting harder and harder due to all the Campbell Newmann cuts and general economic slow down.

Humidity rarely drops below 103%

GC is full of crime

The entire 2 weeks of winter gets pretty cold in Brisbane... well you'll think so after about 2 years up here.

I did the same as you are thinking back in 2006.

Do it..!

get a job offer before you move, obviously.

Southside of Brisbane generally has good transport due to some rather nice freeways, north and west side, not so much.

The racetrack isn't a good reason to move to Ipswich (its out of the city anyway), but houses there are cheaper, and due to the better new roads its not that hard to commute to the city from it.

was born in bris, but have have lived in most states in aus, ippy is the worst place iv'e called home accept for canberra. GC hinterland, maroochie coolum, happyrock is my pick, further north and you need a high tolerance to heat and bitties/ stingies

Mike.

will look into these places.

sorry ...

replace happyrock with maryborough

this was one of the places we were looking at.

Hot wheat her means that wimminz wear less clothing....

What sort of job? I work in recruitment? May be able to help. :)

am mechanic, but not sure if i want to stay in this profession.

im sick of the crap you have to put up with.

Whooaaaaa hold up!

Canberra isn't that bad haha

think of it this way.

you think you gf's hot?

date a lingerie model, then look back at your current missus.

and you will know what its like to leave canberra.

*note, i have not seen your missus, its just a comparison, meant for a laugh*

dont club, so that wont phase me.

i dont mind shopping, but alot i do online.

im more concerned about the heat and humidity.

i farking hate heat and humidity.

and its more the missus that wont leave sydney at the drop of a hat.

im pretty keen to make our way up there.

would have to organise jobs, and sell our house/pay off loan/apply for new loan for house where we want to move to.

Humidity is the killer, we normally average around 30 deg. in summer and 20 deg. in winter. Sydney and Melbourne get more and longer heat waves than we do up here. Where abouts are you thinking of moving to? Greater Brisbane or one of the northern towns?

not sure, I like the SE corner.

but I also want to stay with range of at least a drag strip.

I like keeping my antics off street.

Well I'm at the very north end of Brisbane and it's about an hour drive to the nearest drag strip, Lakeside is about 5 minutes up the road and the 2 best mountain runs are only about 15 min away. So within greater Brisbane you will be about 1 hour from the drags.

Yah stay north side...don't let anyone talk you into going south of that river ;)

Seriously though, keep out of Logan and the west or have a very serious amount of security on your line.

    • Apologies for the long post, but needed somewhere to lay out the entire timeline of events and actions taken:   I've got an 89 GTR with a R34 RB in it. It's been running great all year, driven probably 500KM in the last month. It's not my daily driver, just a weekend fun car.    Build info: R34 RB26 - HKS 2.7 stroker kit, HKS adjustable cam gears, HKS turbo upgrades, Trust intercooler, R34 factory DENSO 440cc injectors, JUN chipped/tuned R32 ECU. All of this work was performed in Japan back in 2019.    Thursday 10/2/25 - It's a nice day and decided I'll drive it to work, I start it up in the garage and I notice it took a few extra cranks and sounded a bit funny. I figure maybe it was just because it was a pretty chilly morning. I pull it out into the driveway to warm up a bit before leaving. As I leave the driveway, it feels very off and sounds like a misfire. I pull it back in the garage to deal with after work and take the daily to work. I was able to diagnose it as a cylinder 5 misfire with the old spark plug test (unplugging each plug until a sound change with the engine running). I take off the whole ignition system, ignitor, plugs, spark. *Important note, it is still on the R32 ignition system with the separate ignitor system. I test each system with a multi-meter and nothing presents as a smoking gun. I put it all back together and it starts up no issue. I go ahead and order the PRP R35 ignition conversion kit. It should arrive today (10/13/25)   Friday 10/3/25 - Another nice day, car starts up great and drives great all day. Very pleased that everything seems to be OK   Sunday 10/5/25 - Decided I'll take it to play some golf, load up and drive to the course about 25 minutes away. Drives wonderful the whole way there, I pull in the parking lot and the engine completely comes to a stop. I do not recall if it sputtered at all, but just remember all of the sudden the engine was off. I roll it into a parking spot, try to crank it back on and nothing.  It'll crank and crank and not even try to start. End up getting it towed back to my house and push it up into the garage.    Items I have checked: Fuel in the tank Fuel Pump relay Fuel pump fuse  Spark Plugs & gap Coil packs Ignitor    I know the cylinders are getting fuel as the plugs smell like fuel after a start attempt. I tried spraying starter fluid into the manifold and cranking and not even a sputter.    I decided to do the live CAS test (removing the the CAS, ignition on and spinning the CAS stalk to see if the injectors pulse and spark is active). All of the injectors were pulsing and I have spark at the plug. The half-moon end of the CAS did seem very loose, I'm not sure how much play is supposed to be there, but it was more than I expected. There was no in/out play of the shaft, just the tip end that is pinned on had quite a bit of play.    CAS Play video   When I put the CAS back in, I stupidly did not re-time the engine. I know I need to do that tonight, however, I do not think it will start given it seemingly was not the issue. My plan is to do the PRP R35 coil kit and retime the engine at the same time.    I plan on ordering the Haltech Nexus Plug-in ECU once they are available again, but ideally would like to get this sorted before firing the parts cannon at it and potentially adding more variables.    Anything glaring that I am missing here, I'm a bit at a loss?          
    • Get it on a dyno. Get something logging Consult. Run it up and find out what is causing it.
    • Looking for a plenum for rb25 de+t neo  Not looking to push much power maybe 300kw at the wheels, is there much difference in flow for Freddy “Greddy style” compared to original Greddy or options like Proflow or Otaku garage?    I won’t be porting the de Neo head for now as I think it’ll be fine 280-300rwkw but appreciate the help and any experiences anyone has between them and any advice. Thanks  Looking at this plenum for now below 
    • engine wise almost no mods: stock ecu Greddy front mount intercooler Greddy forward facing intake w R33 TB stock fuel system, stock injectors, rail etc. Kakimoto racing hyper 3 inch exhaust system Apexi intake filter New NGK –R BCPRES (.8 gap) plugs  
    • Nice one @Pac - looks like a fair few 1600's there!
