Toowoomba Skyline Owners

[tommis85]

Hey boys and girls.

Over in ipswich and just wondering if you guys do many meet ups / cruises. Im keen as a bean

Hey

Curious tho - XR8 on a skyline forum? How does this happen?

[ibrox90]

Had / have two falcons

Xr8 and the xr6t

Was hanging around with a bunch of boys from the SA xr and fpv club . One dude had an xr6 t daily and a r32 gtr ( now a full racecar) got talking and was talking about shoe horning an rb neo into an r32.( forumember reading up )

Then I was workkng in sydney for 3 months and started looking at 32 gtrs not at all seriously ......... then somehow impulse bought a 33 gtr :-p

[Captain Natro]

Impulse buys ftw, do u like it so far

[ibrox90]

Um well its a bit different and obviously an older car and AWD ( no correcting angles with your right foot )

Bit concerned about safety at this point. First thing I did was got it on a dyno and did oil and flush . coolant fuel filter etc

punched out 252 awkw @15psi ....while misfiring......... then put in Splitfires and a slightly cooler plug and shes all good. a=

major concerns at this point are slight underbody rust, and turbos....ceramic nervousness. given the boost level. Uni group seemed happy with it and its condition.

Once I get my gear up here and get some new tools going to do diffs, transfer and gearbox.

I think the clutch is slipping so that's on the cards at some point.



So in short. I am loving it, but I have some concerns and have had to fork out a bit of cash on it much to the missus disapproval. but the way I look at it is, it's a (long term) project. and I want it clean rather than modded first ( hopefully. though we know how mod bugs are).

Did i read that right ???? R33 LS1.......?????? Right boys fetch the holy water ( old engine oil from a PGC-10 mixed with R35 GTR brake dust) we have an exorcism to perform

Lol a very borat style introduction. .. on the cards planned on doing it tomorrow actually...... back in sunny adealide for a week or two then Ipswich for mimnimum 6 months.

[Captain Natro]

Heads up cops are bad in Ipswich on a Thursday night, best bet is to stay home

[ibrox90]

Yup found that out that hard way already

[Captain Natro]

Ah not good bro

[t5iv]

How was happy laps?

[me_larr]

I didn't go but I ran into the abom on the way to Brisbane

Sounded hot. Would have loved to have taken it on in the Caldina for a couple hundred metres to see if it goes as good as it sounds.

Nick's lucky we met on the Warrego :ph34r:

[tommis85]

I thoroughly enjoyed it...couple little jousts with the Supras - good fun!

So who's up for Lakeside when the time comes? I hope mine and Nick's cars aren't too loud

[Captain Natro]

I'm in for a happy laps at lake sid, and I don't think my cars loud at all

[t5iv]

Glad to head that you guys enjoyed it! Next one should be mid to late September. Everyone happy with the rules and playing with the supras?

[Captain Natro]

Rules are fine

Supras are fun

[SCR48]

Supra's were fun. Just to see what real boats are like
