Hey, well I've decided to make a Newcastle Skylines Spotted Thread as I am frequently spotting skylines around all of Newcastle, but when posting in the NSW Spotted I don't even get noticed, it seems like a Sydney one to be honest.

If the mods wanna edit it and make it "Official", they can, but I haven't labeled it as that just yet.

So I'll start, I saw a grey R32 4dr yesterday driving into Westfield Kotara (just like mine), and a Pearl white R33 4dr also near Kotara Baby Co.

Spotted Silver R33 with plates BCFxxx and window visors at Glendale shops, also spotted a white R33 (female driver) looked like it had bronze Buddy Clubs or similar.

^^^ I almost put "and Central Coast" in there too, but I can't edit it now :rofl: Slim if you view this again could you please change the topic name to "Newcastle and Central Coast Skyline Spotted Thread" as it may keep this thread more active.

i too am always seeing other liners in newi.. whats the deal these days?? do we flash?? wave?? nod?? hazard?? i dont want to seem snobby, so i always give a wave or a nod, but im not gonna put a wave out there and have someone leave it hanging because it is "beneath them".

and if you all see a grey stock 32 gtst with gtr type front bar with a bit of drift damage... thats me. AUR something plates.

cheers

Wish the NS.com cruise wasn't on the same day, I've already agreed to going to that haha. I would have loved to check out the Putty Rd. Never been.

Most other skylines dont even look at me, sometimes I wave. If I see some of you guys round, I'll definitely wave.

Hey my misses drives a Black RS Stag and i have a white R33 all beaten up both with BOZ plates. I am keen to do a wave or flash to on coming Skylines if you are all keen. I do it already now but i just get weird looks :rofl: .

Bakes i will most likely be going on the cruise i will let you know later in the week.

And you'll be bringing the Stagea, right Ryan? It'd be good to have a few Stageas together at one event.

spotted white R33 gtr with a green p plate cruising down hunter st and turned up past dominos.. very tidy and sounds fantastic.

i want to go on the cruise but the 32 is just not up to the point where im comfortable with a) long drives where theres minimal mobile reception and tow truck access.. and b) its not quite up to scratch for me to want to let people see it.. hahaha, its not that i care what you all think.. but its not even lowered yet.

maybe next year though

cheers

Spotted white R33 S2 in Beaumont street today.

Also spotted 2 White R33's together at intersection of Tudor and Parry Street. Thought one was MzSkyline's car? Not sure though.

Spotted a silver R32 GTR with TWO.06L number plates still on jack stands at my workshop today.

    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
