I'm a car enthusiest. live and breath cars, its just going to be me and my skyline, I know no one in QLD :(

so where do I start? lol what are the main attractions here, any good tuners you guys can recommend?

am I making the right decesion?? :O

ive always wanted to move to QLD...seems so much nicer. altho I have to start fresh, new place..new job etc etc

any advice guys is appreciated.

cheers!

You mean a room for $300 sharing with someone else, right?

Nightlife:

GC is good but don't be a smart arse late at night in the clubs - it's at least as rough as Kings Cross, sometime worse.

Tuner:

People (and fellow tuners) usually recommend EFI at Yatala. I've never been to a tuner outside of Sydney so I can't confirm.

Main attraction of GC:

The beach, chicks in bikinis, perving, surfing, fishing, ice-cream. That is all. Almost everything else is in Brisbane. Most people prefer to live in Brisbane and drive to GC every 2nd weekend in summer (it's only 45 minutes away). GC in winter is horrible.

ERD out at yatala for you car needs

Talk to Chris Rogers on here about an alarm if you don't have one because cars have been getting stolen like crazy at the coast, especially from shopping centers.

Apart from that, welcome and enjoy your stay

Gold Coast is ok, not some where I would set myself up to live at but thats just my opinion, the Sunshine Coast is alot nicer IMO.

Gavin Wood Autotech - Ashmore - Word has it he had a hand in the Group A GTRs back in the 90s....so very good with Skyrines.....nice web site too.

Oh yeah, stay away from the Carparks across the road from SeaWorld at night. When it happens you will know why I said "stay away!!" Trust me its good advice.

      S1 headlights?

      By Duncan · Posted

      It might be worth having a good look at the chassis behind the bumper then; most people prefer the series 2 look so it might have been changed to cheaper parts as part of an earlier repair

      S1 headlights?

      By Celticsfan03 · Posted

      The car itself a series 2. I was just curious about the headlights and just wanted to confirm that they were series 1. Good to know the rest of the front end is series 1. It’ll be easier for me to find parts on the aftermarket side of things lol

      R34 engine swap Rb25de neo to s1 Rb25det

      By WMDC35 · Posted

      If you've wired up the coils & injectors properly, & have the neo CAS loom for the trigger, it should all work. The VCT works the same way so just different plugs between s1 & neo. Assuming DBW if no IAC. Don't bother with the stock boost solenoid with g4x.

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      THERE IS NO IAT SENSOR ON ANY SINGLE TURBO RB. And the one on an RB26 is not for "engine control" - it's really too big and too slow and is only used for over-temp alarming (as far as I can tell). Anyway, you don't have one. You want/need one for the Link, then you need to buy one, find a spot for it, and wire it in. You do know that the stock boost solenoid is not capable of "control", right? It is merely on or off, for the low boost (5 psi) and high boost (7psi), which the ECU enforces mostly based on gear. The stock solenoid is not for PWM control and is not plumbed up in a way to provide it. If you want to control boost properly, then you need a proper MAC valve. And yes, you can wire either of them direct to the ECU. Well, I assume you can - I don't know what the boost solenoid pins on the plug and play Link are capable of. They really should be as capable as any normal Link - but seeing as it is plg and play, it might be limited to stock functionality. Read the doco.   You really do just want to plug stuff together without understanding how it works, right? I can't help you there. I don't know the plug types or pinning on half the stuff you're asking about. If I had to do it I would sit down with the wiring diagrams, the car/looms and a multimeter and work out what is what.
