Recommended Posts

After attending the meeting last night at the Zillmere P.C.Y.C all efforts are positive. The Toombul shops bottom car park WILL be used as a new meeting point for Car Enthusiasts. The shops at Aspley where you all congregate now are soon to be closed for new construction work. The police are working in conjunction with us to find a better place to chillax with mates and fellow enthusiasts. Toombul shops has been spoken to and they welcome the use of the carpark. Keep an eye out for the next few weeks for flyers being handed out with reference to the final meeting for YOU as Car Enthusiasts to voice your ideas as to how you want it set up.

We are having this meeting on Tuesday night at 7.00pm 23rd of October at Zillmere PCYC where we will discuss ideas put forward by you. At the moment we are looking at a food/drinks van to be onsite run by a local charity group. I brought up "the bridge access" and everyone agreed that it needs looking at. There will be a story run in the local papers in the next couple of weeks outlining what is being done for us, so keep an eye out for that. It will be discussed at this final meeting what we require to make it work and be a safe environment for all who enjoy the car scene. Official first cruise night is scheduled for Thursday 1st November, so alot needs to be sorted by then.

So come and voice your opinion on what you as Car Enthusiasts want....

Whats being organised...

Food/drinks van

Police presence to stop anti social behaviour not to hand out defects

The rest is up to you, promo girls would be nice :drool:

If you act like a dickhead then you will be treated like one.

It's easy to sit there and speculate what will happen.... Come to the meeting on the 23rd and find out for yourself. Talk alongside other Car Enthusiasts with the same feelings as you.

The reason defects were handed out at Aspley and similar places is because the owners didn't want you there. At Toombul they are happy for us to go there and meet but with NO dickhead behaviour going on. Hence why the majority want the police presence, to stop this "hooning" and create a pleasant atmosphere. I have been in the car scene for 15 years and I have seen it diminish into a load of uncontrollable crap. If you want to go do skids and stuff then thats fine. It won't happen at Toombul without the cops arse raping the offender/s.

All I ask is that you come to the meeting to voice your concerns or, ideas for improvement of the new meeting place.

I agree 100%... It's people like us that get targeted because of the little shits that need to pull a skid. I was talking to a cop last night with regards to this exact matter. He said it's the response time.... By the time they get the complaint and get to the carpark the guy doing the skid has long gone. But they have to do their job because of the complaint so its the innocent ones that get f*ked, (people like us). With the police presence in the car park everyone will behave which means no one complains about skids and "hooning" and we all live happily ever after. The End.

We are just trying to help the people that actually are interested in cars. I'm not forcing you guys to come, but your support would mean this is not all for nothing. If it doesn't work, then at least we can say that we tried.

I used to get my R33 over there no problems and it was quite low.

If you can get over the speed bumps leading in you'll be fine, slow and stead at an angle.

I asked the officers if their car cleared the bridge and he said that it just scrapes but if taken slow there is no problems. But they agree the bridge needs fixing for the bodykit fraternity. We also had a brief chat about Lakeside as well. Ideas were thrown around for types of motorsport when the track is fixed. But thats another matter completely.

I will check out the bridge next time I travel past Toombul. But if your Skyline gets over ok then not much will need to be done to the bridge. Some money has been donated to the cause but i'm not sure how much and weather it will be put on the bridge or not.

So whats to stop them waiting till everyones over the bridge and then blocking it off and doing a car by car inspection???

Hope your right, and this is a positive step forward for car enthusists... But it sounds a bit like a trap to me...

Call me old fashioned but the Police have "NEVER" openlly allowed activities like this before... I hope im wrong...

I live just around the corner, great location if they fix the bridge up and the stupidity is kept to a minimum. But it's a hard thing to manage.

Will keep an eye on this, need more civilized northside car stuff :thumbsup:

If you come to the meeting and talk about your concerns you will find out that the Cops are allowing us to be there because Toombul allow us to be there. If you all start doing skids and it gets out of control (like Aspley) then it will be shut down. Thats why we have asked for Police presence to stop the wankers from ruining it for everyone, AGAIN. What people do away from the carpark is up to them, but please don't shit in the nest. So come and talk about exactly what you are typing in this thread so your vote can be counted...

The problem is not the majority Steve, its the minoirty...

Im sure 99% of the people there just wanta talk and hang out, like Aspley used to be 7-8 years ago...

But all it takes is one knob to drop a skid and the police will come down on everyone like a tonne of bricks...

You need to understand that you cannot control the minority, just be prepaid for some smuck to spoil it for everyone...

But i really hope it works well for everyone, hopefully the police can just sit back doing nothing. Then if some knob drops a skid they jump and and punish the tool.

Without taring everyone else with the same brush...

This is exactly what is going to happen. Police WILL be inside the park but they will be working WITH us. This is what we are trying to achieve so the innocent don't get raped.

    • What makes you say CD009 boxes are not as strong as you would think? I've always been told the last revision (CD00A) is good for 1000whp and I have no issue's believing it when comparing one side by side with an RB25 box. Makes them look tiny. 
    • I picked up an open Center with shafts. I was told the Open shafts will fit a mechanical LSD and looking at them. I think they will work. Will update 
    • The manual says a lot about the different ratios requiring different shafts. all the Centers are the same but depending on the ratio, this determines the shafts because different ratios need the center to be offset more or less or right to left.
    • those 2 sets of shafts will not interchange and if you’re lucky you haven’t damaged anything with all your pressing and bashing you said you’ve done 
    • Freshly built stroked RB25/28. Motor runs great but consumes a lot more oil then It should. This summer with the heat I was consuming roughly a quart per 1800-2000kms. Now with the cold weather coming in, I'm consuming a quart per 1000kms which is no bueno. I had originally chalked this out to break in taking a little longer then it should, but I'm now around 4000km's on this engine. I think it's fair to say something isn't quite right. Here's the kicker, can't find what's causing it. I've also spoken to my engine builder and Precision Turbo and can't figure it out. Here's my train of thought on possible causes and what I've done.  Precision Turbo - I originally started thinking my oil pressure might be a tad too high for my 6466 Gen2. I took the center cartridge out, and while yes there's signs of oil on the turbine heatshield, it's very moderate. There's also very minor in/out play that concerns me. I sent pictures and videos to precision and they said the residue and in/out play is minimal and they doubt this is the issue. For piece of mind, I went ahead and installed a Turbosmart OPR V2 to bring oil pressure down. Made no difference. Precision is willing to take it in on RMA for an inspection and I'll probably take them up on that offer for peace of mind. BTW. Is it just me or does the turbines inducer's look clipped and not even between each other? I just noticed this now while posting and looking at the picture zoomed in. Might just be the picture...  Rings - Hot compression test and leak down test look good. Compression is 160 +-2psi across the board. I leak down at 16% on cyl 1,2,3,5,6 and 18% on cyl4. Keep in mind I have a snap on leak down tester and they read high (I.E, 15% on my wifes 2018 Sentra with 70000kms). Sparkplugs show minimal oil (Only #4 seems to have a tad). At a quart per 1000km's though, I would be expecting them to be wet. Here's the kicker, I run WMI. I'm thinking what if my compression rings are great, but I have an oil control ring issue on cyl4 and my WMI is steam cleaning the pistons and sparkplugs? I can still see the "Spool" logo on top of my CP pistons. The only time I see smoke out of the exhaust is in the high rpm/load range. So far, this is my main culprit. I'll probably turn off my WMI and go out with the car at spring pressure tomorrow and repull the plugs. Other thing that's strange though is that I have never seen any oil in my catch can. Thing is still dry after 4000kms. Cyl1 - Left, Cyl6 - Right. Valve seals - They're new and I would expect oil consumption on idle, first cold start or during decel. None of which is happening.  Crankcase pressure - I have 2x 10an valve cover lines to a vented catch can. Head drain and opened up internal oil drain paths. I also don't run E85. I've never seen any oil in my catch can. Doubtful this is causing any issues.  Rear main seal - I have no visible leaks, but figured maybe it was my rear main seal. After now having added 2-3 quarts, I would expect oil to leak out the bottom drain channel and/or my clutch to be slipping.  Let me know your thoughts. With winter coming and taking the car off the road until spring, I'm fine with pulling the motor apart but I would hate to take it all apart and the turbo was the issue in the end.
