OK I went to a little meeting in Brisbane on the 13th June at the Roma Street Parklands....Not many cars but a great place to hang out, yes it is close to police headquaters but there is a rather large and noisy transit station in between so you can make some noise without fear...Yes the cops do patrols throught the parkland but they are cool and don't cause any hasels.....

ANYWAY, What I am proposing is a regular meeting place to hang out on particular nights so have a look at the poll above and make your decision, if anyone has anything to add let me know and I will modify the poll.

I just think that it would be great if people new that on a xxxxx night if its fine then there will be cars at xxxxx. The other thing is it would be great if you all made a decission that on the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th xxxxx night of the month we always meet at xxxxx

Time for meetings would be around 8pm onward or so

:P

Have you ever been to the river cam ? There's a few little parking bays along there with a hell big stretch of road. It used to be pretty big but the cops cracked down on it and it died off, but it's a good quiet place to park and have a chat and even decide on a cruise later on in the night or something.

I think at least one saturday night every month we all gotta meet up and have a chat. If only to discuss how we're gunna get the QLD Club running.

Its seems obvious that we all want somewhere to gather So I propose that we pick a date some time soon and all get together and go for a drive to these different places and check them out as a group.

meet/race "V" meet/chat

From what I have whitnessed the norm seems to be that everyone gets together and has a chat and stuff around 8:30pm then as it gets later they head off for a run somewhere. May I suggest that NO ONE post possible race spots only meeting spots.

Keep the ideas flowing.

If your interested... I think some of us are going up the coast this weekend.. Well saturday night anyway. Its no where near as good as the gold coast... but yeah.. Its somewhere different until the whole cop thing dies down.

I've gotta speak to Fenn first to find out whats going on.

Well I can't really do Friday nights, but Saturday nights are normally OK. Can I suggest that if you're part of the "meet/race" group that you have your runs nowhere near where the rest of us hang out, the last thing we need is yet another good hangout killed off by cops cracking down on everyone because of a few.

I'm not saying don't have fun, just be careful and considerate of the rest of us, and please think of the long-term use of the area! If we treat the area right, chances are we'll be left alone!

hey cam do u cruise around twba much? i've been there a few times over the last couple of months and i think i saw u once! i was actualy in twba on the 20th/21st and did a bit of the cruise thing but was a bit disappointed with the action. i saw a few cars , the hifi mart r33 and a couple of others but most were parked. i see that a few people park around the back of the travel centre but where's all the action happening?:lol:

In Toowoomba go to the "Chalk Drive" carpark (opposite Queen's Park) on Saturday nights, normally a heaps of cars there.

Council have actually let us use this as a regular meeting place and tend to let us be so long as we don't fool around too much.

There are heaps of imports in town now so we should all get together sometime.

    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
