Townsvillians,

Those who drive the mighty Skylines make yourself known! For the benefit of everyone in the 'ville I think we should meet up and organise a cruise somewhere. For too long commondores and falhoons have ruled our roost, it's time to take it back!!!

My name's Aaron and I recently bought a silver R32 GT-R with white rollers. If you see me driving around give me a wave :)

We should exploit the cold air for the short period of time when mother nature is on our side, so lets go for a drive somewhere and show the ford and holden boys/girls who's boss!!

Thanks to the people who replied, we need more though. Was at the drags last night and saw two other gtr's, one pretty wild 33 and another 32. Only briefly chatted with them, don't know if they're forum members or not.

Was a pretty good night though, I cracked a 12.801 with my relatively stock car on worn radials!!!

I have to make a trip to Townsville somtime between 7th and 9th of September, I was wondering if skyline owners would be out cruising the streets and if they are what nights they go out, as if all goes well I willl be driving the line up from Brisbane. So I might tag along if all goes well.

Cheers

Chris

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
