Cruise Alice

[fmlycar]

Your probably better heading south to a power fc guru down there. Just steer clear of mazworx, they charge like a wounded bull. Chase down Martin Childs, he had his R33 gts-t tuned down south and was singing to the tune of 280rwkw or so on 16psi.

[Bitsushiti]

No worries, thanks man. Hadn't heard of Mazworks until now but thanks for the heads-up. Is Martin the fella who owns the silver series 1 (lowered, 19"s, bodykit/no wing)?

At this stage I've been looking at Morpowa, Boostworx, Fours'n'More and Willall. Heard good things about all of them so far, especially Brenton at Fours'n'More who has an excellent reputation over on the Supra forums.

Another thing I've been wondering about is having it tuned at sea level and how much impact it would have on the tune by bringing it 1,775 feet above back to Alice. It'd be cool if it can be compensated for via correction factor etc.

How's your 180sx going anyways Kurt? Haven't seen it around for ages now

[fmlycar]

Sorry, meant boostworx. Willall would be your best bet. They are usually booked out a bit in advance but there is a very good reason for this. Any good tuner should be able to compensate for the altitude differnce too.

180sx is still in Alice. Ive been getting a few things organised from my end to get the new engine setup up and running. I'm living in Townsville these days, cruising around in a RB20det hilux.

With the growing number of Skylines in town, are there any other locals floating around the forum??

[chris.33]

yes im here, but as you know turbo's gone kapow

[Sklyn]

Yeah, that stinks man!!!

I was looking forward to racing you at the drags soon, would have been a close run!!

Hope you can get it replaced soon..

[Jaylyons1]

Anything going on in Alice lately?

[BK]

Looks like Alice tuning scene is officially dead. So....

R32 has Quaife front diff and 2.8 Nitto stroker kit going in right now. Look out for it at this years Red centre nats.

[Sinista32]

Nice set of cars you have. Would be hard to choose which one to drive every morning. I take it the WRX is your daily ?

[BK]

I take the 2.8 turbo diesel Hilux ute to work every morning, the GTRs never ever will get parked in town for any length of time. Yeah the blue 2015 S4 WRX has the baby seat in it. With the new FA20 motors it would still be quicker point to point than anything I've ever driven. They're like an electric car and run 22psi stock.

Short 2.8 is together - sump, front diff to block. Waiting on Tomei cam studs before it all goes together.

[BK]

Wow, looks like I am the only one left...

Not any more!! =(

[BK]

Really ? So who's left here ? Alice is shit now, at least we have BP ultimate back and BP drum E85 readily available now.

That said, I'm flat out. Still modifying the 33 GTR v spec with the 2 x GT-SS, / OS giken box, 32 GTR with the Nitto 2.8 / PAR dogbox / PTE6466, 32 GTR with the forged 2.6 / T78-29D (most time consuming bastard at the moment), 2001 WRX motorkhana car and 2015 WRX - and modifying the 2007 SY Territory on the side !

I'm still full time at work with two girls under 3. Covid-19 slowdown, yeah right !

[Sklyn]

That's nuts man! Livin the dream haha!

No one left as far as I know, meant that even Kitto's is gone now. I think Mello still there with his 31 though. What about ozzy?

Yeah, thought so. Yep Carmello still has the R31. Ozzy still here but doesn't have any Skylines anymore, he's too wrapped up with his shitbox cars with the rally and speedway scene.

I'm probably about 2 years from moving myself, will have to plan it properly first with work transfer.

[BK]

Nice to see Red Centre Nats 2020 completed last weekend with over 750 entrants. The 33 R went well:

 

[BK]

It's coming up fast...

[BK]

To follow up the 33 made it 2 years straight outright in the Motorkhana event -

Anyone would think I'm the only GTR in the Territory...

Anyway, anyone seen this ? I think the blue car might have to make an appearance up in Darwin for some roll racing on the Hidden Valley circuit 😃

This event is only 2 weeks before the the 33 will try for 3 years in a row in the Alice Motorkhana. All 3 GTRs have been entered as of today, so looks like a busy August / September this year. Very interested to see if the 32s can match the pace with the 33. The current winner:

The contenders:

I’m back some how remembered my log in, recently purchased another r33 gtst, been sitting for years so needs some work which is Fred old one (sly33) 

@BK gazzanats is definitely a must, went up a few years ago with my burnout car was a good event, was planning on taking it again this year but sold it to buy the skyline, might have to take the skyline if I can get it going in time
