I'm from the Northern subs too. A time and a place *please* - This is so that I can figure out if I can come along or not.

If you are stuck for ideas of a meeting place in the north - I recommend Thomastown McDonalds on Dalton road - near the western ring road. Reason being it allows people from the east and west tag along too - if they so wish and it isn't too far north so the guys from Preston/Reservoir can also attend.

But one thing to note is try not to organise any meets up that area after 9.30PM - as the hoons start coming out to play - especially on a Friday :P

Just a suggestion as I organised a meet and mini cruise there a few months back.

yeh really depends where i wouldnt be overally keen on roxburgh park / eppiing.. thomastown maccas isn't to bad but depends what your going to do/where your going to go and what time..

If meeting up at Thomastown area, why not meet at the carpark opposite Maccas.. isn't it like a Myer Megamart or something there? (It's been a while since I've bothered looking there).

Maccas meet points on Friday nights really don't capture me haha. Everytime I see groups of cars meeting at Maccas I think "hoons" in my head lol.

yeh there is a large parking spot further up vicstreetscene use to do weekly mini's there so either way there is options there..

if we go maccas could all just park far away from each other if it helps unco?

op - pls refine details and maybe get a list of attendees started..

Am in mate... jus got to meet Nathan today... was nice meeting u mate... Should really catch n get out smetym for a drink or cruise... aaahhh watever it is... lol...

Yea... Epping Maccas on friday nights...??? hmmm... its the wrong place at the wrong tym... HOONzz mate... lolzz... Neways keep me posted abt watz happenin...

I say we Touge run it up and down Yarra Boulevard.

:P

No, we won't be doing that.

Not a good idea anymore, the cops are all over Yarra Blvd on a friday / saturday night. I couldn't sleep the other weekend, and decided to go for a drive to the Blvd at about 2am on a sunday morning. Was driving spiritedly, but then I got an uneasy feeling and slowed down to the 50km/h speed limit. A couple of corners later and i was confronted with a cop car on the opposite side of the road. Such a weird feeling, it was almost like I could sense something was a-miss lol.

Luckily I kept driving and once out of sight, I hid in a side road. They did a u-turn but didn't see me and I managed to get the f**k out of there without being hassled.

Haven't been back since. I remember the good old days when we use to go there all the time in our younger days. Sigh.

Hi Guys, sorry for the late reply, internet at home has been down.

Yeh we can meet at the Myer Megamart off the Dalton Road (Turn right off the exit from the freeway for those who done know).

Time around 7.30pm ish.

What we gona do after that I have no idea we could go for a cruise somewhere not sure where, airport lookout maybe (dnt quote me on that) or we could go for a drink somewhere.

Anyone got any ideas on what we could do after the meetup post it up.

Let make it worth while for the fellas that are driving down for this aye......

I recon we all go for a drink n play pool or bowling... Bar 8 on grimshaw street... Bundoora... They got poker as well for all the poker fans here... lolzzz... else we could all do a night cruize until late tomo... lng one... :P

I'm not fussed. Time sounds great, and yarra blvd is only for 1:00am onwards, use to go every friday night. Care for the noise though as thats when ppl start to complain. Lets first meet there at Dalton Rd and we can agree to do something from there. I reckon 7:30 is a good time.

Oh and Nitin, was good meeting you too as well mate.

Yeh we can meet at the Myer Megamart off the Dalton Road.... where exactly is it...??? say am on settlement road... and getting on to dalton... turn right or left...???

    • @joshuaho96 Hmm considering the drama you've seen/experienced, have you looked into getting a built complete long motor shipped from Australia?  Considering the AUD is basically monopoly money when compared to the USD, at a glance this seems like a good option?
    • Bloody Skylines, they put you through the bloody wringer! Stick at it! Stunning drag strip BTW! Where is it? Can see part of the name on the slip and probably should just Google it!
    • I mean the other day I had to walk someone through diagnosing why their timing belt was walking off the cam gears. At least one of the issues was a bent tensioner stud. Local mechanics have found runout on the CAS mechanism causing weird failures. I'm also no saint here I've documented some of the things I've had to learn the hard way. Something I discovered recently is that my CA emissions catalytic converters weren't even welded correctly to align the downpipe to the main cat and they tossed the support bracket that goes from the transfer case to the downpipe to support everything there. I spend a lot of time chasing down these decidedly unsexy problems and the net effect is it feels like I never actually get to the original objective (flex fuel, VCAM, oil control, cooling, etc).
    • At times with how you make everything sound, all I imagine Americans doing when they see a gtr is standing there looking at it and bashing it with a gun like how a caveman would with a club and hoping it fixes itself 
    • I think this is just a product of how the US market works for this stuff. Shops are expensive and there's no real way of knowing what kind of results you're going to get, people don't really have the institutional knowledge. I have heard too much at this point to really put faith in anybody "full service" except maybe DSport and they aren't really a full service kind of shop. If you go to the right place I have no doubt they'll get it right for you. Some locals have set it up right but the cost really is nuts and even now they're still fighting issues. And you know I'm a crazy person who thinks things like twin scroll, relatively short low-mount cast headers, PCV recirc to intake, recirculating BOV, right-sized for ~400 whp, MAF load, validating all of that to a standard comparable to OEM test programs, etc are relevant. For what it's worth, multiple local owners at this point have been stuck in a perpetual cycle of blowing a motor -> getting someone to rebuild it -> some missed detail causes the bearings to wipe and spin just outside of break-in mileage or drop valves or some other catastrophe -> cycle repeats. I usually only find out about this because I'm perpetually helping random friends with diagnosing car troubles, Skyline or otherwise. The single turbo stuff if I'm honest is mostly secondary, it just doesn't seem to achieve the numbers in the ~2000-3000 rpm region that I would expect given the results I've seen here or in Motive's videos. I don't really know what we're missing here in the US to be causing this. Lots of people like to emphasize the necessity of finishing the project first and foremost, but I'm not made of money and I can't afford to be trashing a 15k+ USD engine build with any regularity. Or spending my relatively limited garage time these days unable to triangulate problems because too much was changed all at once. Also, even if it isn't a catastrophic failure I would consider spending the cost of single turbo conversion with nothing to show for it to be pretty bad.
