Newbie To Skylines

[Konrad]

Hi all,

Just got a r33 last week and was wondering where do you guys meet up and what do you do?

Cheers.

PS: Whats a good compression test result for a RB25? Mine was 130-135 on all cylinders..

Oh yeah, where in brisbane is a good place to get a decent alarm/immobiliser fitted? (ony moved down here a few months ago). I searched these forums but didn't find anything useful.

G'day, welcome to Brisbane. Well the first thing to do is try and become a SAU QLD member that way you can get a discount card for a lot of your services. For car alarms etc, I'd recommend Northfield Car Sound. The service at their Moorooka store is pretty good. As for meeting up, there are Chilli nights (see the Chilleh Town! - Happy hour my ass... thread) but as far as cruising goes, it seems to be on a random basis. The really big ones like Massive Skylines Cruise to Lake Baroon was awesome (80+ Skylines).

80 skylines? Man that'd be enough to put any cop into a defect inspired seizure :lol: Thanks for the reply choyda.

for a decent install (a alarm is only as good as its install), i would recommend chris from www.soundoff.net.au. he will actually come to you and fit an alarm.

Thrusday nights are usually pretty good.

Thursday nights are fun when someone organises them - meet up, have a chat, go for a spirited drive, park somewhere, have a chat, go home.

JB hi fi do a perfectly good job with alarms and not too expensive, the bloke who installs them at the Kedron JB does heaps and knows what he is doing.

Enjoy owning the line!

NIce R33!!! love the kit!

friday nights lot of v8s and imports go up to harry's diner.. Usually decent on a clear night.

I think thursdays people go up to aspley shopping center

Then you have broadbeach car park on sat night. But I haven't beenthere for a while since the cops have been a pain.

Yes, very nice kit. Both understated and aggressive at once! Nice clean car. I would combine an alarm and separate immobiliser as one backs up the other! Hidden switch immobilisers are cheap and good insurance while the alarm should deter idiots but not those in it for the money. If they want it, they will take it. I've seen many reports of thieves using flatbed tow trucks and just driving off with the car to play with the alarm at their leisure.

Thanks for the kind words guys... I actually think the kits a bit over the top for my tastes but its growing on me. I beleive its a top secret front bar, veilside skirts and a trial rear bar but not 100% sure.

Working something out with chris (audioexpress) for the alarm... Its already got an immobiliser at the moment.
