Hey all,

I just got back from 2 weeks in Townsville. Damn good vacation.

Only saw about 5 Skylines up there which was a bit of a downer.

If that was anyone here I just wanted to say "hi". All the Liners I saw were mad. Especially a reddish one which cruised past the Exchange Hotel last Saturday nite, that was one bad arse wing.

Oh and the silver R32 GT-R was was damn nice

Cheers guys.

i used to live in mount isa, and you wont see one out there.

someone got a silvia and everyone was WTF is that! (it had vielside bodykit on it)

the only downside is that you cant drive outta town and in town its shit also. tahts why i couldn't have a sports car there.

townsville is ok, but the strand is a big place to get your car keyed or damaged in some way, too many chicks with excels and XF falcons and they dont know how to drive. I seen 4 acciedents one night with people reversing into people or someone cutting into the wrong lane.

just move to brisbane :D

Yeah, I used to live in Townsville.

Now in Brissy.

I have driven the line up and back once.

Not a pleasant drive.

Yeah the strand is like 1/100th as good as BWCP.

WRXcels everywhere, with badboy/badbitch or No Fear stickers on them.

I only saw a coupla lines when I went up.

      I know you don't want to hear this comment, but I can't not say it.  I just can't see 200kw being worth the time and effort. Its like guys with NA cars, putting in headers/exhaust/tune for a massive 20% jump in power. Great, the slow car is still slow and you're down $10,000.  My vote is leave it NA or price in a gearbox upgrade and shoot for at least 300KW, preferably 350KW+.  Now you have a NC that will try to kill you from time to time and will be exciting to drive

      How "plug and play" is the Haltech Pro for R33 GTST

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Ah yep. The main message I want to pass on is, try not to get scared of ghosts when thinking about knock/knock detection.  What I mean is, healthy engines make noise. Knock is also noise. Your knock sensor and ECU combo are trying to determine bad noise from good noise based on how loud the noise is. The factory knock sensors and ECU are not good at doing this.  Modern ECU's are pretty decent at it, however I'd still say that you would want to verify that if your ECU says it's knock, that you actually listen to it and confirm that it is correct.  Are you familiar with the plex knock monitor?  https://www.plex-tuning.com/products/plex-knock-monitor-v3/ I expect you're the type of person that would be very keen to play with something like this. It is great knock detection and you can pop some headphones on and listen to what's going on.  Knock that you've deliberately induced in low load low RPM areas is not really putting anything at risk and is a great tuning/learning/verification tool.  I just thought this was worth mentioning based on the way you were talking about setting up a base map and the Haltech base map settings. There are better ways to spend your time then chasing ghosts and worrying about detonation in scenarios that it is crazy unlikely to encounter it.  I was also wondering, what ECU are you planning to get? Will it be long til you pick it up?

      This came quicker than I thought. It ain't even 2025 yet.

      I somehow quoted my post instead of editing it. I regret nothing.
