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

For all the skyline owners in Mackay, this forum is pretty slack, maybe we need to organise a cruise or a BBQ/piss up get together again.... that was fun last time in Airlie, had so much fun I fell down a hill and f**ked myself up lol.

that sounds like a great idea, im down for that. i only get weekends though. on a different note, gotta pay off some parts, and start saving for a vipec, bugger all effort or drilling or removing anything to put it in. i like that idea better.

Yeah pretty happy with it, still getting stuffed around with things that havent been done but are getting done now. I wont get into it, its enough of a headache as it is lol

Blew my tax money on a camera rather then a diff. So far don't regret the decision :P

Quick snap from our trip to Sydney this past week, Have a ton more but this one looked pretty good without any touch ups, so its the lucky photo that I'll use

Just Committed myself to an RB26/30 engine build for possibly the 180SX . I Just purchased a brand spanking new Bare RB26 Head from the USA got it dirt cheap ;). All's I have to do now is hide it from my brother and old man before they claim it and it ends up on the Drag Car.

Turbo Oil Feed Restrictor Nic ?

These are usually in the banjo bolt though AFAIK. My HKS one is and I know Garrett do it with some of theirs. Nothing in the actual block that I can see. But I'm still not sure which engine was being talked about

      I'll snap up some photos when I'm back home, in the office today meeting my "in the office" quota. Have 2x Teams calls scheduled in, office culture they reckon.   I've never owned a proper off the shelf sub, I've always made or modified broken ones with Jaycar plate amps and/or car subwoofer drivers. The current (and broken) subwoofer has a proper home driver in it, Dayton driver, thos one https://www.daytonaudio.com/product/118/rss265hf-4-10-reference-hf-subwoofer-4-ohm FS of 25Hz, which is low but not low enough. Yeah, I think they were brought out to the market to compete with SVS. I would love a SVS PB-3000 but they're not cheap, especially after their price hike. From reviews online, it does look like the Tonewinner D6000 would destroy and with good amount of money saved too.

      yeah, that happens too.  I'm really enjoying 4WDing at the moment, seen a few beautiful spots and want to go explore more of this enormous country.  The 370Z got a clutch LSD in it and a track day, great fun.  Getting the back end sorted out really rejuvenated my enthusiasm for driving it hard, the viscous one is poo especially in such a short and wide chassis.  The VLSD unpredictability was more benign in a long and skinny Skyline.

      With my pre/power I use a remote trigger cable(3.5mm jack each end). I turn tv on, it turns both on via ARC. Or, just the pre with the remote or its streaming software, turns on both. Not that difficult at all. Obviously,  you would also want to actually update/upgrade over other factors in your life(bills, family, other hobbies, etc)

      Yeah, nightfall was very "meh". And I'm crap at pvp, so feels like everyone has cheats(it's just my lack of skill). Final shape has been pretty good. New raid and dungeon are pretty good. If you want to give it a go, probably wait until it's on sale. But, as usual, most of it feels very familiar.

      This morning was Kingswood's Microscopic Wars. It is the album's 10 year anniversary this year and we went to see them play the whole album as a special show a couple of months back. Was pretty spectacular.
