Cairns/far North Skyline Owners

[GTR-N1]

Yeah pretty quiet

Not a Skyline in sight...

[GTRNUR]

Yes its very quiet. It would be good to get some more enthusiastic gtr owners up here. Perhaps get some weekend cruises happening.

[t5iv]

If you guys can get a few cruises and what not happening, I'll look into get CAMS public liability insurance to cover you in case anything goes wrong.

At this stage, cover only applies to members. At least, that's my understanding of it.

[Spicymouse]

I'd be keen for a cruse, when I get my car back and have the time off..

[Spicymouse]

Have my car back now, keen to go for a cruse..

[GTRNUR]

Is anyone interested in doing a cruise to Port Douglas for lunch on Australia day?

[Spicymouse]

I'd be up for it if I have the day off work

[GOJ1RA]

Anyone want do do the following install on my 32 GTR for free?<br /><br />HKS GTSS Turbos<br />Tomei Poncams<br />Tomei exhaust manifold<br />HKS Dumps, front pipe, Hi Power Silent exhaust<br />HKS Fuel pump, 700cc Sard injectors<br />Z32 AFMs<br />PowerFC<br /><br />I really don't want to pay 5K(quoted) to get it done professionally.<br />Ok. I'll give you twenty bucks and a high five...

[GTRNUR]

Who quoted you 5k for that?

I figured it would be a day to do the turbo's and exhaust and mafs. A day to do the cams, fuel system and computers and to get a base map in it. And then about 2-3 hours tune time. I'd figure $2500-3K.

If 1/2 your parts are second hand though, there is a lot of stuffing around with fiddly extra's. Cleaning everything, sourcing exhaust studs and gaskets etc. Old R32's tend to often have broken exhaust studs that need extraction. The coolant pipes can sometimes need replacing too as they tend to corrode in and can snap off wen being unbolted. If they do come apart intact, all the pipe work should be zinc plated again to provide some corrosion protection. BCR can do this in Cairns.

[GOJ1RA]

That's a quote from SVS. Including a tune. All of the parts are brand new. Where else should I enquire? Any other decent tuners in Cairns?

[GOJ1RA]

Sorry, the AFMs and injectors are second hand. Good condition though.

[GTRNUR]

There isn't anywhere else I could recommend. I do all my own mechanical and tuning. I would offer to assist but am too busy at the moment. I won't be available for another 2-3 months.

[GOJ1RA]

Has anyone gone to Platinum Automotive in Cairns?

[GTRNUR]

I drive past there every day, but have never seen a GTR in there. Plenty of GTS-T's and Supra's though. I don't know who I'd go to up here to do GTR work if I wasn't doing it all myself...

[GOJ1RA]

Spotted a clean midnight purple R32 GTS-T tonight on Mulgrave road in front of Mcdonalds. Black rims. It was on Gumtree but has recently been taken down. Anyone know the owner? I'd like to tee up a meet in a couple of weeks here in Cairns (When my car gets out of the shop). Interested?

[GTRNUR]

Get on facebook and ask to join "Cairns Skyline Club". We organised the last cruise from there.

[GOJ1RA]

Does it still exist? Can't find it on Facebook?

[GTRNUR]

PM me your name and I'll add you.
