Where is BWCP? Where is BWCP? Who is BWCP? Will it be a hard drive to BWCP? How much fuel will I need? Where exactly are we going? Is the road surface ok, I have a low front bar? Isnt this the place where they blocked the carpark and defected everyone? Can I have a lift? What time will the cruise end? Where will you guys be at 10, 11 and 1130pm? Can I bring my mate in his 200b with a 13b in it? I heard that cops sit out there? What exit number is it? What is it near? Where is the closest BP? Im confused can you send me a PM? what number is it in the refedex?, who should I call when i get lost? How long will the cruise go for? and Cant we meet somewhere else? or can I organise another thread with different places to meet, just down the road from me that way we can have 3 or 4 meet spots and confuse the hell out of everyone?

Yes im bored

For the sake of gold coast people, you should rewrite that as an FAQ!

That way it can be linked to whenever someone asks the same dang questions every dang thread about going any dang where dang snabbit. Dang.

Just got back from dropping off owner of car that spun out on onramp at springwood poor buugger had it for 3 weeks and gf was driving was a gtr vspec pretty original cond with 400 frontbar. met him at crazy clarks he was driving past and noticed all the lines and thought hed stop by, so we invited him to bwcp, followed me on to onramp and in my mirror i see her crash head on into wall then 180 rear qtr into wall, bald tyres. Rear passenger broken ribs everyone else ok.

Now ppl it made me stop and think about alot of things but mainly driver skill and driver awareness of how much power these cars actually have and to a novice like her how dangerous it can be, so please ppl drive within your limits no matter what the car in front or beside is doing.

I ended up helping that guy out who got stuck on onramp pm fro details

Yeh, not good at all. My friend Rob told me what happened.

Anyway I had some dramas of my own, I did a bottom end bearing last night!! :D

Now at 2500rpm you hear a tapping noise coming from the engine and gets louder as you rev it - I assume its the bottom end bearing.

Not happy....... The engine has to come out now, and I thought everything was coming together..... not so it seems. I was wondering what would cause this as I have nismo bearings, oil cooler, HKS high volume oil pump and at the time it happened I wasn't even giving it a hard time.

Now because I only just moved up here, I don't know who is the BEST engine builder as I don't want this to happen again.

I was wondering what happened to you WetGTR, I saw you pull into Yatala, but you never came and said hi, and I never saw you after that.

I was looking around for you but couldn't see you around. We stayed around crazy clarks waiting for you but thought you left or something. Other guys there were also waiting for you.

What happened?

Afro rang me and I'd missed Crazies for 8:30 (picking up Myth33 from half way down the coast :rofl:) so we were already at Yatala, I figured you guys would've moved on without us and we'd meet you there, but Afro was like WTF YOU AT. So we waited at Yatala and you all caught up, I saw you drive past and pull into a petrol pump, but never saw you after that.

Stupid me, didn't even think to look around Yatala to see if you were there.

Should of walked around and checked it out.

Hopfully next time were able to catch up.

Cars going off the road now, main bearing problem.

Hopefully get it going as soon as possible but I think it will take 4 weeks to be put back together and running again, not happy...... :rofl:

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      Thanks for all the replies fellas. Gonna finish putting it back together and see how it handles the set up. If it starts pinging it’ll be parked.

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      By suko · Posted

      Well, I can recommend the partial AV system translation CD I ordered from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. Whilst it didn't address the date issue, it has conveniently translated on-screen menu items into English, and now allows the GPS-received time to be offset in hours rather than minutes, so I can display Eastern Australian time accurately ( and bump it by another hour when daylight savings starts ).

      I'd be curious to hear more. Otherwise, have you driven a modern x-trail? I wonder how it compares. Here in Australia they are/were popular for rentals and fleet vehicles. I have been in some and my impression was they are bad. But, this may have been very different in the 2000s at a good trim level. Twenty years is plenty of time to make the model worse. I do very much agree with the 2 silver cars in the garage approach. But, not driving because it's too hot would not leave a lot of time in the year for many Australians. I don't think you need to worry too much unless the car has actual issues with overheating.

      Back again. I returned to Japan in Jul/Aug to spend time with the car on my birthday and remind myself what all the sacrifice and compromise is for. It happened to line up with the monthly morning meet in Okutama, which I have been wanting to go to for a long time. It's a unique event at a unique spot with really rare, interesting, and quirky cars. It's where all the oldheads and OGs gather. The nighttime scene at DKF certainly has its place and should be experienced if you're into cars, but there's too much bad attention and negativity around it now. IMO the better time is Sunday morning at DKF or Okutama; it's more chill and relaxed. I'm glad I was finally able to go, but not sure it's worth the drive from all the way from Nagoya immediately the day before, unless I was already staying in Tokyo for the days right before the meet, because you have to wake up quite early to make it in time. Funnily enough though I didn't drive the car all that much this trip because it was just too damn hot. While there were zero issues and running temps were nominal and the A/C was strong, RBs already run crazy hot as it is. Sure, it took it all like a champ but something about driving these cars in the ridiculous heat/humidity bothers me and makes me feel like I'm asking too much of it. I'm just me being weird and treating the car like a living thing with feelings; I'm mechanically sympathetic to a fault. Instead I was mainly driving something else around - a KX4(silver) 2001 X-Trail GT, that I acquired in May. There's a few different flavors to choose from with Xs, but visually it's the Nissan version of the Honda CR-V. Mechanically it's a whole different story as this, being the top-trim GT, has an SR20VET mated to a four-speed auto and full-time AWD! It was a very affordable buy in exceptional condition inside and out, with very low mileage...only 48k kms. Most likely it was owned by an older person who kept it garaged and well-maintained, so I'm really happy with how it all worked out. It literally needs zero attention at the moment, albeit except for some minor visual touch-ups. I wanted something quirky, interesting, and practical and for sure it handily delivers on all three of those aspects. I was immediately able to utilize the cargo and passenger capacity to its full extent. It's a lot of fun to drive and is quite punchy through 1st and 2nd. It's very unassuming -in the twisty bits it's a lot more composed than one would think at a glance- and it'll be even better once I get better tires on it(yes, it's an SUV but still a little boat-y for my liking). So...now I have two golden-era Nissans in silver. One sports car and one that does everything else; the perfect two-car solution I think👍 The rest of the trip...I was able to turn my stressed brain off and enjoy it, although I didn't quite get to do as much as I thought. I did some interesting things, met some interesting people, and happened into some interesting situations however, that's all for another post though only if people really want to know. Project-wise, I went back to Mine's again to discuss more plans and am hoping to wrap that up real soon; keep watching this space if that interests you. Additionally, while working in the tormenting sweatbox that is the warehouse, I was able to organize most of the myriad of parts that my friend is storing for me along with the cars, and the 34 has a nice little spot carved out for it: And since it can get so stupid hot in there, that made it all the more easy -after I was standing there looking at the car and said 'f**k it'- to finally remove all the damn gauges that have mostly been an eyesore all this time. Huzzah. The heat basically makes the adhesive backing on the gauge mounts more pliable to work with, so it was far less stressful getting this done. I didn't fully clean it up or chase the wiring though; that will happen once I have the car in closer possession. Another major reason to remove all that stuff is to give people less reasons to get in my car and steal s**t while it's being exported/imported when/if the time comes, which leads us to my next point... ...and that is even though it's time in Japan is technically almost up since it's a November car and the X would be coming in March, I'm still not entirely sure where my life and career is headed; I don't really know what the future looks like and where I'm going to end up. I feel there's a great deal of uncertainty with me and as a result of that, it feels like I'm at a crossroads moreso now than any point in my life thus far and there are some choices I need to make. Yes, I've had some years to consider things and prepare myself, however too much has happened in that time to maintain confidence and everything feels so up in the air; tenuous one might say. Simply put, there's just too much nonsense going on right now from multiple vectors. Admittedly, I'm struggling to stay in the game and keep my eyes on the prize. So much so in fact, that very recently I came the closest I ever have before to calling it quits outright; selling everything and moving on and not looking back. The astute among you will pick up on key subtext within this paragraph. In the meantime I've still managed to slowly acquire some final bits for the car, but it feels nice knowing there's not much left to get and I'm almost across that finish line; I have almost everything I'll ever want for my interpretation and expression on what it is I think an R34 should be. 'til later.
