Havnt been to Tbar for 2 weeks now..

Sorry but wasnt me haha!

We should definitely organise a regular meet/cruise for Toowoomba and surrounding areas?? Monthly JDM meet or something.. as well as cruise down to Downshift meets together.

Haha natro power ftw bro :)

... I've got 5.7L of natro power coming lol

Ah should be interesting!

On a side note, anyone know of a good detailer? need a cut and polish bad. Previous owner obviously didn't know how to look after paintwork!

Cheers, Luke

We do try and do a monthly thing. Haven't organized anything in the last month or so due to having surgery on my both of my feet.

Few of the guys are really not too keen on Downshift and JDM meets due to police presence.

^Does panel beating cover paint care? I assume it does.

If so, I believe a particular Toowoomba SAU member can help you there.

All I usually do is a bit of a hand cut with a cutting compound where needed then a full hand polish. Painters at work charge around $200 for a full buff and hand polish.

Sup Slarts! Working on a sticker for Toowoomba Skyline Owners.

Keep you posted.

Very good, my design didn't go down to well.

Try matt geach, can send you his dets if you want. He's always getting promoted at work and prices seem fairly reasonable

That would be great if you can mate!

How much do you 'charge'? ;)

Anyway, a reliable source who's been to a some of the recent downshift/jdm meets said to give it a miss. The meets are never incident free which may or may not include one or a combo of the following - skids, bogans, ulehs, fighting/bashings.

The SAU crowd is definitely a more mature and discerning bunch.

Next time there is a happy laps at QR will organize a trip down.

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      By DraftySquash · Posted

      It was roughly 3.5 hours.    car went in around 11:00 and I was done around 2:30 He did the initial runs, install the BC and then Nistune install and tune.  The best part was sitting in the lobby and hearing the skyline on full throttle at the dyno 😂😂

      Glad it all went smooth. How long did the tuning process take?

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      Yeah that was kind of the same feedback my tuner gave me.  the boost tee is until I can sort out my plan for the electronic boost controller and what I’d get, where I’d mount the dash etc.  I’m happy with this until I can figure it out. Not a big fan of the A-pillar gauges. I’d like to get a clean install of the boost gauge - something digital like GFB.  Something like that might fit neatly where the ashtray is and look clean. I feel like replacing the OEM triple gauge is a bit extreme for a weekender like my skyline. And it’s not making crazy power to need all the additional sensors/gauges.

      I'm about to swap my box to Tremec T56 Magnum F & initially thinking of re-using my DCS twin plate (can get it re centred for the bigger spline) but it's been called out the box will be noisy (rattle) as the clutch is unsprung.  So I'm doing as much research as possible. I'm not so worried about holding the power as I'll go the track version which on paper will hold the maybe 1000hp I make. It's the longevity I worry about. DCS told me they don't use a sprung centre as it's just something that can break. The uni clutch has a very complicated sprung centre. Any one had or heard about any issues with it failing? Thanks in advance.

      Auto is at least 10% (from my real, actual experience with different torque converters and manual on the same setup) ~185rwkw at 11.6psi (peak!) is entirely what one would expect without a FMIC or anything else on the intake, it does bleed off towards the higher RPM so it's what, 9psi there? Note: There is nothing that can be done about this with a manual boost tee. If you want to hold it steady and gain more top end, well - You will need electronic boost control.....
