Just joined up and expect to have my R33 on the weekend. Looking forward to catching some of you guys on cruises etc. Btw can anyone recommend a good place to have an R33 looked after. I plan to do alot of work to the new car and would like to find a good workshop who can do the work and keep the car in tip top condition. (Someone that can work on PFC)

Look forward to meeting some of you guys in the future.

Welcome to the QLD SAu community :)

Depending on how far you are willing to travel but theres a few places. Theres Gavin Woods - Autotech (www.autech.net.au) down the coast at Labrador that many forum members use or there's Mercury Motorsport (www.mercurymotorsport.com.au) over at Wilston that are a sponsor of the SAu QLD club. I personally take my car to Gavin and have been for the past two years. Never had a problem. There are a few tuners around the place. Gavin Woods, Mercury Motorsport, Matty Spry, just to name a few.

A great way to meet some of us is to attend the regular thursday night meets which are posted in the events section or the Cruise out west which is coming up within in the next three weeks. Also, the next Massive Skyline Cruise will be held by the end of this year.

I'm going to use my psychic powers to discern that your last car was an SR20det 180sx relitavley modified. Now you have a white series 1 1/2 r33gts25t with worn handbrake boots and a steering wheel that looks slightly worse for wear. The car will have approximatley 85-90k "genuine" kilometers on it despite the wear on the steering wheel suggesting otherwise. I see a front strut brace and a cat back exhaust, i think it's an HKS super dragger, and stock rims that will soon depart. HOwever I'm happy to say that in my vision I can't see any roll cage holes.

LOL nice guess Charly. My last car was a 180sx with a few mods. My other half is into v8's her last car was a VX2 Clubsport R8. I have always liked Skylines and ready for a new project.

New car is a 94 R33 GTST with 65k on the clock. R400 body kit custom paint. Engine has catback and pod filter and was told GTR injectors and fuelpump. Going to do all the standards add ons like full exhaust, FMIC, PFC and boost control.

don't forget the front mount. we'll have to have a look when you come out to see what else your car has. Also if you want flames you'll have to smack out your cat.

If your preference is for mountains I would also reccomend some aftermarket suspension.

    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
    • Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...
    • Yes, a plan for non-action is always my first sort of plan! I'm happy to see what falls out of invision's update. I had been having some thoughts on what to do with this the other day and they all seem to have fled my memory, after various solar panel induced traumas, squeaking suspension sphericals, etc etc, over the last little bit. I'll try and recall what I had in mind and make sure that I put it into print in some form before the Alzheimer's strikes again.
    • The ability to have both a 5500 stall for launching, and a regular lockup for every other scenario is pretty sweet. Does it actually work well like that though in the real world? Would it hold up to track use and otherwise you'd never know you had a stall converter in it? If so, that's awesome
