hey buddy, good to have another line in town.

im based in bathurst, but theres not really anywhere to take your car. its V8 town remember.best bet would be to make the journey to the eastern suburbs, sydney. even if there were some place in bx it would be hell expensive, and probably not up to sydney quality.

by the way, im based in bx,but currently in europe.

if you ever see a metallic blue soarer or a jzx80 dark blue/green supra, give them a wave. mates of mine. both TT, feel free to show them the power on the RB26, then need to be shown.

be home in 3 weeks, keep an eye out for gunmetal r33 gtst or a JZX100 chaser. both me.

enjoy the track!

I go out there sometimes - a mate lives there and I go out there to get away from the big smoke and piss it up there :D hahaha

Last time I was there, there was me and a mate in a GTR and didnt see any other skylines

will keep an eye out next time :)

Cheers,

Chris

Thats ok, I used to live in the Blue Mountains and took my car to Steves Auto Barn. He does a good job and has 2 Skylines of his own. Its the same shop that built Buster's car.

Its only an hour from here so I will continue to go there.

Also I have seen at least 7 different Skylines getting around town including 2 GTR's and a few GTST's with front mounts ect

And yes the track is awesome. Shame I cant run in the hillclimb this Sunday........have to Work :whistling:

Thanks

Tim.

Heya 32Zilla,

I live in Bx, when I want an oil change etc, I go down to Adam Cope Mechanical, he's on Kircaldy St, which is Just off the Vale Road. (Turn left when you see the Devro sign, after the Farmer's Arms Pub)

Adam Cope's the better in Town, good for general work, inc turbo swaps, suspension work, oils changing etc.

He's honest, and pretty experienced, and happens to have a 2wd dyno :-)

There is also automate, but I personally prefer Adam (Cleaner, newer workshop)

For skyline specific work, (aka serious troubleshooting/tuning etc - Goto Sydney)

And, i'll be one of the 'lines around with a frontmount ;-) Silver SII '33 - ZebHax

:-) see plenty of peeps running about the mount:-)

(including the Ute guy that got done @ 180 on Conrod the other month.. )

For smash repair, Browning's Smash Repair have a good rep, as well as Ray Morcombes (Keppel St and the Vale Road)

IIRC, there's 2 '33 GTR's in town, 1 R34 GTR, 1 34 GTT, about 6 R33 GTST's, 4+ Silvia's, 2 R32 GTST's (1 4 Door) and a good slection of RX's....

    • My hold point for future mods is that I want a OEM detachable hard top first, but, finding one is a pain, MX5 Mania are looking for one for me, but, as hens teeth are more common, finding one in Australia is proving problematic  I can get a OEM one from overseas, hell, you can still get new ones in 'Merica, but, shipping is a absolute killer and I cannot justify the cost, or the risk of it being damaged during transport As for the aftermarket hardtops, whilst they do the job of being a hard top, and are fine for a track car, they don't seal well (read: leak like a sieve in the rain), and you need a plastic/poly rear window, plus they are a bolt in option only and not made to be easily removed I liked how the hard top on my NB could be fitted, and removed, by myself, in less than 5 minutes I know it sounds bad, but I'm waiting for someone to write off a car with one so I can swoop in on their pain, it will go to a good home though, so my guilt of this is tempered
    • I’ve got one on mine and it’s fine, 
    • No, you don't want to plug the vacuum line, as that will turn that side of the booster into an air spring and probably make it feel worse. I'm not saying that the GTR master itself doesn't need a booster. I haven't paid attention to the GTR one to know what size it is cf the non-GTR ones. But when you think about it - they have to do the same job, which is to move a little slave piston a few mm to do what it is supposed to do, and that final action is the same on all the cars. So, it is very unlikely that the GTR MC is any different than the others, because it has the same pedal stroke and the same output requirement. The booster just makes it feel easier. I'd suggest you probably have an actual hydraulic problem. It's totally common on these old shitboxes.
    • Ye, in terms of bolting up the "Conversion" from a GT to a GTT is effectively "Use GTT parts for everything" Except the subframe itself, because you won't want a HICAS/4WS subframe. Remember your ABS system will be different too, thanks to GT being the S15 3 sensor system, instead of the R34 4 sensor system for wheel speed. I do not know how people get this to work given R34 diffs do not have a provision for an ABS sensor (they are on the tone wheels of the axles). I assume***** people use S15 gear/R34NA forever when they realize this - Or they convert it to a rear diff/axles that are R33 style which I presume has the singular speed sensor on the diff itself, but then you have to wire it all in and...and... and...
