Sorry to butt in but how many of you Newcastle guys are coming down for the Show and Shine? It's on the central coast so nice and close. I was hoping to get a few Newie guys entering (I know we've got one already).

Also, what are/is the Skylines workshop/s up there?

Thanks.

Ill need a lift down to the Show'n'Shine event if any of you bloke are going down and would like me to navigate your the wrong way! :(

Abo Bob:

I get my work done at Denstoj Auto Centre, 49261718, 8 Arnott Street, Newcastle.

Very happy and impressed with their services so far.

Also RX Engineering is very good too, locally probably the best from what i hear on the grapevine.

That would be good Gruntn. We need lots of entrants to make this work. It's just a great big social car day with a mojor emphasis on Skylines obviously :(.

I'm sure your car is worth entering Mr Wizard.

Thanks for those d-d.

Do any of you guys go down to the harbour where all the done up cars park? I've been up to Newie about 6 times and always see them there. Maybe someone who feels super social and sure of themselves could hand out a few flyers there one day for us.

Any of you guys keep confidence pills in your glove box?

What's the best day/time to get the most people? Are there heaps of dickheads there at all?

Sunday afternnon at the foreshore is MASSIVE.

Im talkign insanely massive and it takes a good 10 mins to drive along a 60m strip.

The majority of people down there are young kids that want to be cool or whatever, i know from our skyline's aus gathering we choose to park elsewhere so we dont have to deal with the majority of peoples attitudes that is undoubtedly associated with the newcastle foreshore scence on sunday afternoon's. But im sure with a bit of ticker and enthusiam you'll find the right people to hand your flyers out to.

Best bet is to go down from 2:30pm onwards so you can grab a park, the main action starts around 3pm.

:rofl:

    • You're not the first person that's said that about this car lol. A Touring wagon GT in Spark yellow mica would be the dog's danglies 😆 I will keep an eye out for a future purchase for sure. The seats are almost like the OEM Recaros... electric adjustment for fore/aft and tilt movements except reclining.   
    • Yes!! I love these! It's a shame its not the wagon though!   Thank everything that's holy that it doesn't have the interior of the Aussie delivered ones. Those seats are so much nicer.  
    • I'm both sorry and thankful that you do that. 
    • 2001 BE5D Subaru Legacy B4 RSK (3rd gen) EJ208 (pink injector) Twin Turbo 280PS 5-speed manual Full time 4WD "RSK" grade which means all of the above LQC option which means stock rear spoiler  I got it primarily to export to someone outside Japan who was interested. These BE5 Legacy B4 RSKs are going through a bit of a resurgence right know in Japan as they are one of the few cars from the "turbo, manual, RWD/4WD, 280hp gentleman's agreement era" cars that don't require stupid money to purchase. Which for some people might be a good opportunity to get as a base for restoration. If I can't find anyone to purchase it I will certainly be doing that myself over the long term. Why? Because it's properly fast in stock form, handles well enough for a GT sedan, there's still enough aftermarket and (if you can wait a while) genuine part support to make it a restoration candidate (<-- that will only get worse over time so it's a case of do it now or choose get a BL5 4th Gen). Mechanically it's fine, has only 89,200kms on the odometer. The problem with this car is that the body and exterior trims are weathered from at least the last 10 years being parked outdoors. I'm the 3rd owner, the first owner was the one that had it for 14 years and barely drove it, had a low-speed front impact (which didn't damage anything behind the radiator support) and got it fixed and sold it. The 2nd owner put most of the kms on it and parked it outside for the last 10 years, hence the door rubbers have seen better days but if you overlook those cosmetic details, it presents pretty nicely. There is some minor rust on the LH rear wheel arch which I'll have looked at too at some stage.  Also as you'd expect from a car this age, the clear top coat is gone, leaving a satin finish on the roof.  Mechanically it's fine (as you would expect from a car with less than 100K kms) but the steering does feel slightly vague around the centre position at higher speeds. So first on the list is to get the steering rack bushes looked at. There's also the Lock button on the remote which doesn't work, but the Open button does.... it means that the anti-theft system thinks it's always open? It seems like if you open the car and don't start the engine within 3 mins or so the anti-theft kicks in again without any beeps or signals. So if you got to start it after that, it won't. You have to push the open button again. That's how I understand it anyway. Just a small irritation but not a big problem to sort out. There's only one mod, the Wangan SPL muffler. Just a tad louder than stock. It's a really good mod for those who don't want to wake the neighbours but still want to hear a more prominent unequal length header EJ20 sound. Anyway I hope to get all those things done eventually, that is unless someone wanted to import it to their country from Japan (where I live). I'm open for negotiations as I really would like a Skyline... but this will definitely suffice in the meantime 🙂 *Disclaimer: This is how I picked it up from the dealer, minus the stuff on the back seat. I haven't cleaned the engine bay or done a thorough exterior clean, aside from spray painting the wipers. 
    • Wow, even with the Audi logo centre caps. I love OEM wheel mismatches.
