i saw you leaving on thursday. was doing my first run to the new place when i saw your car traveling up Kircaldy st. (spelling?)

either way, ill be there this week.

Cruise today was sweet!! thanks Chris :thumbsup:

any chance of moving this meet to another night in the week? Thursday is late night shopping but Thursdays are really becoming a challenge for me. Thoughts, Comments?

Also hows the new place going Bodo?

in that case Ash i must live round the corner from you now.

Thursday is a good general day i think. any other day is just too early in the week for me :(

and the new place is good thanks for asking. a bit of a scattered mess still downstairs, but room for the Lispy (yes my liner has a name, give to it my the little lady). upstairs is all sorted, still gotta get internets sorted, lucky i got the dongle still atm.

got the engine back for my girls Beetle, will spend the next few arvos getting it bolted together and back in. as soon as its home and sorted i will sort out downstairs. its a good work space down there :thumbsup:

all good, was just ralf and i last night anyways.

sry, no idea what the address is exactly Chris. but its on bribie island road, just before Ningi. There is a big round about at the end of the 2 lane 100km/h zone. Basically as long as you take the Bribie turnoff and head towards Bribie, you cant miss it :)

Corner of Caboolture-Bribie Island Rd. and Bestman road Ningi. Google maps says 20km off the highway. didnt think it was that far, as it doesnt seem to take long.

Dunno if im barging in on anything, but i've had a 32 gtst for a few months now... Keen to cruise with the locals as im in Rothwell....

On a brighter note, I was in Peninsula paint today n "saved" some poor sod who thought he blew his turbo on a twin turbo supra.... Turns out he should check his intercooler piping more often.. Fished out the slipped hose clamp and with a trusty 10mm I never go anywhere without, saved him a trip to the workshop. Wish all my mechanical problems were that cheap or easy :)

Im Troy by the way. If anyone filled up at the caltex on deception bay road just up from the rothwell roundabout, chances are we've already met

Hi Troy ,

Your More than welcome to come and join in the fun, We are trying to get a group of owners together so that we can do northern cruises and such.

I think beefies might be a bust due to it closing at 6pm. we could always do curry on bribie it's self or subway.

Meeting at the northbound BP on the hightway (just after the first morayfield exit) at 7pm and moving off at about 7:15 we will make our way over to bribie and proceedd to: insert Location here.

the drive to bribie is one of the best local drives we can go for, please feel free to look online and find a suitable venue to grab a feed at.

Howdy Troy, and by all means join us.

i didnt think of that they might close that early. I' not much of a fan of bribie itself for driving. painfully slow and a tad dangerous with random drivers..........brain storm time. gotta figure out somewhere tho

    • Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!
    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
