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.

    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
    • You just gotta be really, really, really clear and decisive with what you want your end product to be. 99% of people who want this conversion aren't "I want to run a 295 front tyre!" so they don't really need the widebody. They just want the OEM body to look a little less dumpy, so bonnet, bar, skirts job done with some camber, stretch, slam. It's when you want that, but then decide to pivot later you get big problems. See also if you're willing to get an all in one fibreglass bar, and you're willing to accept fibreglass problems like cracking the entire item on a driveway, instead of just a piece attached to the bottom, etc etc etc. Decide this all before buyin'.
    • After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛
    • The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY
