It's already got one. Palmyra. It's been built to suit the majority demographic in Mackay. Sad but true. I remember whan I lived in the area 20 years ago there was talk of one in Gladstone out near

Got home to find these on the kitchen table :) They are monsters, bigger than my 6pot AP's on 370mm Rotors. The brembo's are only 4 Pot for 330mm Rotors. Must say these Nascar brakes are gonna suit the 180SX perfectly. They just fit behind my Work S1R's which Is a bonus.

Mackay people! Know that it's a bit of a drive but the dinner and chats are back!

Continuing on from last years very popular dinner and chats, thought that we could kick off this year with dinner and a movie.

Considering that South Bank is cheap on cinema tickets and because they have decent food thought that that would be a good place to go.

Who: People who are interested in Skylines and cars as well as their significant others.

What: Catch Up for dinner and a movie.

Where: Grilled and then South Bank Cineplex

When: Dinner at 7 and then movie around 9:30pm, Friday 11 January, 2013

Why: Because its the first week back at work for a lot of people and we all could do with a break. It's also been a while since we've caught up, so why not!

How: Well, you drive to the car park and park your car, then walk to the restaurant. . alternatively, I'll be heading there straight after work so if anyone wants to catch up prior, we could always do that.

The movie that were planning on seeing is Hitchcock. They haven't released times as yet but they said that there should be a session around 9ish.

So, who's in?

$400 fuel bill, but the movie tickets are cheap :P

I want to take my car to Brisbane one of these days, but will probably do it when there is a proper event on (And not sure when I will get the energy to drive it up there) Track day at Willobank etc would be the go. Maybe there will be a few others from here keen as well, if they ever have cars again......

Appreciate the invite though, shame we are so far away up here in our dark corner of the world :P

There are discussions about a few of us coming up your way. Pm some events that you guys would be interested in coming down for and well see what we can organise.

Also, if its a $400 fuel then you'd want to save as much on the movie ticket as possible right?

Rough estimate on fuel, and yes movie savings would help :)

Events here....... drags, drives or drifts is about the extent of what can be done here

Let me finish my car first and then I'll drive down with you, Callan...

I'm letting you finish it....... are you letting yourself finish it but? :P

I've found some motivation today and put my pistons and rods together, just hanging out for a second person to put the c-clips in. Damn they are little bitches to get in

Why Build an engine when you can take photos of the parts instead :)

Yeah drags and the ocassional drift in proserpine is about all you can do in this town.

      I did not go to GTR Festival. It's quite a long drive and the car wasn't dialed in yet. I also wanted to see how the racing portion went before going. From what I can tell the classes were not heads up, index, or bracket - just whoever has the quickest ET wins. Never heard of that sort of thing before and maybe some people like it but it's not my cup of tea. I don't suspect I'll go if that is how the racing is done. I did get the car out three times and had issues each time. Some were my error - haven't raced the car in over two years - and others were parts. Had trouble getting the clutch to slip correctly and remembering how it was set up in the Haltech. Broke some drivetrain parts as well that couldn't be fixed in a couple days to get back out. Season definitely didn't end the way I wanted but at least the bearings are still fine! Not a fleck of material in the filter. Really hoping next year is the year I can actually test this car properly.

      find it funny everyone claims different fuel chains, do different things with their fuel blah blah blah. We don't have that many fuel terminals in Australia. The fuel tanker trucks drive into the terminal, fill up, and drive directly to the service station and dump out. The majority of fuel you get, is coming out of the same terminals. The variation is actually at the individual service stations and how good their tanks are, as well as how much turn over they actually have. Older fuel stations, that haven't had their tanks replaced are going to end up with the worst fuel. Also a lot of older stations have shit design, and shit maintenance, and end up with more water absorption into the tank. This is when you then get a bad batch of fuel. Other shit things happen, like tanker drivers have a f**k up, and starting to unload the wrong compartment on their truck into the wrong tank.
