Yeah we visit her family there twice a year... I'll send you a PM next time we head up there...

Cameron is the youngest - he has an older brother and sister... There are a few Ginn's in Childers, but they are all related.

You must be the only Skyline owner in Childers - I mostly see 4WDs and Falcons/Commondores when I'm up there...

hahaha

yeah mate, i was the first to buy a skyline in town - shortly after a mate of mine bought a maroon 33 and now another mate has copied again and bought a yellow 33 - 3 of us now :(

mofo's stealing my thunder...

and yeah i know a few ginns etc - but i'm sure there was 2 families

lost my licence for 6 months last week so dobt you'll see my car around there :)

NOTE: do not drive through a rail crossing until ALL the lights have stopped - the main red lights had stopped but little ones on the boom (that was raised fully) had kept going - **** of a cop fined me 45 bucks and 3 points...... :)

Hrm... there's an idea :(

We have a beach-house on Theodolite Creek (Big creek next to woodgate, for those who know the area). Never taken the skyline up there though, 'coz there's a couple of k's of dirt/sand/4wd track you have to drive over to get into the place.

Last time i was up there, i saw a white R33 GTS-t, up near the macadamia icecream place just ouside of childers, with pink plates [MIS581] (Miss-Bi) or something along those lines, driven by a chick... hrm.. couldn't see if she was hot or not, lol.

I grew up in bundy too, lived out Kepnock way close enough to Chards road to be able to hear the drags lying in bed.

Don't spose any of you boys remember what the main street was like before they put in that stupid mall? Easily the best main drag anywhere in Oz, lucky if you could get a spot in the centre parks on a Friday night, everyone cruising laps after Krystals closed, then out to some dark road in the cane fields for a bit of 1/4 mile action.

Remember being way out on the highway halfway to Childers late one night, must have been 100+ cars parked all round a rest area and white lines spraypainted on the highway for start/finish lines. This family in a campervan pulls into the rest area, look at us as if to say WTF and scarpers.

Go the Bundy hoons..... :headbang:

I lived just a bit further back towards town in Greatheads road, which runs off Elliott Hds road.

The cops got us all on Chards rd one night and took all our car keys and drove right up the far end near Langbeckers rd and threw them out the window, told us we had to all walk up and get them. Pr1cks.

There used to be two coppers called Finlay and Sullivan that everyone hated, they loved writing us tickets....

Don't think I would have set fire to your bin, not in your lifetime anyway.....

    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
