hey guys, moved up here for work a few months ago, wanting to get involved in the import scene up here, but dont know how big it is, i come from Victoria and post on the www.supraforums.com.au and have been on there for a long time, but the NT section seems very dead (nobody has posted for like 2 months) so i thought id jump on here and have a look. Car should be up here in a few weeks, (getting some upgrades) and was just wondering what good workshops there are, and how many events Hidden Valley has etc, and if theres many supras up here (ive seen about 5). Ive seen a few gtr's up here actually, but yeah thought id post and get involved!

welcome to SAU dude. you should have stayed in victoria and come with us to our cruises/meets! Anyway, love to see pics of the supra - always a fan of them (was going to get an NA, but after driving a gtst, couldnt go back - and twin turbos were way too exy at the time).

if onyl supras were AWD

arent u driving a FWD celica?

u do realise this is a skyline forum and not a supra forum...?

shouldnt matter dude - its a car forum none the less. Many people on here that dont drive skylines, but drive evos, wrx's, rx's, one even driving an alfa - dont see why this fella should be singled out as a non supra driver....ya dig?

my bad.. didnt even see the supraforum.com part hahah but i am blind :P

welcome to SAU and hopefully u see more ppl post on ur thread :P

cheers mate lol no hard feelings!

yeah ill get some photos up soonish hopefully, might wait because im getting it resprayed soon....

so howz the import scene up here etc? does hidden valley hold many events? are many gathering/cruise nights organised? cannot wait to get back into it!

Welcome aboard mate. seems like darwin is sleeping hey!!

at least I'm a little closer..lol.

I think most darwin guys use boostcruisin so maybe check out there.

from what I know Hidden valley has a few events, no idea on details though..

Hey there mate. Welcome to Darwin. Which supra is yours. You would have no problems getting a supra cruise going up here as there is shit load of them. Some highly modded some not. When i say highly modded i only mean 400rwhp. Would be good to catch up for a cruise but at posted alot of people up here use Boostcruising.

u do realise this is a skyline forum and not a supra forum...?

Who cares. He is a car enthusiest and that is welcome

Hidden valley hold quite a few events although it is just quieting down now. There is one more meet at the track for drifint and a fun day. That is on the 30th of this month. There is however a motorkhana event on next weekend the 22nd there 30 bucks entry and one of the bet days i have had was the last one. Great fun and very friendly people. Hope to see you there.

Cheers BJ

Is your supra the white one with the KAZ motorsport stickers on it. If so looks bloody nice. Spotted it on the way to dropping my skyline at High Tech Tuning for the computer install

hey mate, na mine isnt up here yet should be up here in about a months time, going down to melbourne for a few weeks holidays.

does hiddenvalley have a website or anything? because i found one site for it but its for drag racing only, anyone know where i can get a program for next year? and where can i get more details for the events on the 22nd and the 30th?

cheers!

i sure do drive a celica. toyota power.

i was just saying, supra should have been AWD, i love the supra, so sexy, but would prefer a gtr because of AWD.

i don't drive a skyline, but will be in the market for one one day, plus, there is always something interesting to read on here.

it's a pretty active forum.

Psssst AWD sucks ass. RWD is so much fun. Well unless you have AWD with the power of RBNT wagon. Then AWD is fun but for a everyday streeter the Supra rocks.

depends wat ur into i have always owned fwd i like handling better than goin side ways, but im buying a s13 silvia so ill c how i like the rwd but im not into drifting to much stuff to hit and loose as one of my mate found out the other day

    • I feel like I'm missing something. You had an authorised installer come out and install a new alarm. Post install the car doesn't start, and you aren't getting the installer back to fix what they did wrong?
    • So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you  
    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
