Hey all

I've just moved to Manly from Newcastle & want to know who are now my 'local' skyline neighbours for the area.

A northern beaches Skyline owners casual cruze / meeting would be cool.

Anyway I've only seen 1! skyline in manly... actually in an open garage. It's a white r32 GR with plates AOA-???, if thats your car I live just around the corner buddy! hah. Owww & I seen a stock looking grey r33 at warringah shoping centre, that's bout it tho :D

Owww also I’d like to know a good place to ‘test’ out our cars. Back in Newy there was a good industrial road very wide & long & was good fun to give a few boots up & down vs mates.

Cya!

Welcome to the Northside.

Firstly, watch out for our notorious friday night sessions which tend to happen late on friday evenings and usually involve a cruise from Chatswood down to palmbeach stopping along the way at newport for pizza.

Regarding "testing" your car, be careful. We have a good rep with the local constabulary down that way and we certainly dont encourage any behaviour that may damage this reputation.

There are many of us in the area though so your best option is to get along to the next friday night cruise and meet the locals.

Yeah, I'm not a hoon, but I do like to have fun in my car every now & then away from houses & the public eye 'IE, industrial estates'. You cant speed in Syd 'in general' anyway, too many cars & camera's.

Sounds good :D More details about where, when, etc. Man I love cruising at night time, the air is so cold & the horsepower is so high :D

Im near dee why..

I live near an industrial area actually, et me know when your gonna go testing so I can pull up a chair and count the highway patrol cars that rock up.. hehe.. Its amazing how fast they rock up.. I go bed in my brakes then hide the car before the rock up and thats just a few 80 to 0 stops.

Hey Ben,

yeah i'm alright dude... not too long until I can maybe get my licence back - so hopefully it all goes OK! Gotta get a few things done on my car before then though, need a service and a big wash and polish - hehe.

  • 2 weeks later...

I'm in frenchs forest :rant:, there's also a guy who parks a series 1.5 black r33 across the road from me too, although i've yet to see the driver, and there's a r32 gtr in my street as well.. i'm up for a cruise sometime too... just waiting to get my car engineered first before i drive in a large group, want to be 100% certain i won't get a defect, and not have to stress the whole time that i'll get done :D

U guys should all come to the Old Pac run on fri the 10th. It not a chatswood to the beaches cruise, but there should be a good turn out, good chance to meet everyone.

As much as I'd love to go on the cruze tonight it is a bit out of the way... Looking forward for a northern beaches one. Someone should organise one & start one in events?? :)

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
