Hi guys. I don't live in the NT anymore but I do know some of you. Namely Craig and Phee. I used to drive the red Mirage with LUNATIC plates. I drove up from Katherine some times.

Now I own an S14 200SX with a Greddy front mount IC, Garrett GT25R turbo, forgies, alloy rods, Power FC and heaps of other shit. Power at the wheels is now 260kw.

Good to hear that the scene is still alive and kicking. Do they still close the wharf after 8pm or whenever it was?

Something wrong with your Skyline?

Is it making a tinking sound?

Want access to a Skyline expert who was tuned by Nissan themselves?

I am in talks with a Professional Skyline tuning expert who *may* make a trip up here to tune my car and a few others if anyone else is interested...

I wont name who he is but, will mention that this guy is a genius when it comes to skylines and will be worth every penny he asks for.

If you own a Skyline GTST, GTR or HR31 etc....PM me your details if you are seriously intrested in *contributing* to the costs involved in having him come up here.

He would be coming up to tune my Power FC ECU but, he can fix

any small or large gremlin problems you have on your car.

    • I see you've never had to push start your own car... You could save some weight right now...
    • Sounds good.  I don't 100% understand what your getting at here. When you say, "I keep seeing YouTube videos where people have new paint and primer land on the old clearcoat that isn't even dulled down" do you mean this - there is a panel with factory paint, without any prep work, they paint the entire panel with primer, then colour then clear?  If that's what you mean, sure it will "stick" for a year, 2 years, maybe 3 years? Who knows. But at some stage it will flake off and when it does it's going to come off in huge chunks and look horrific.  Of course read your technical data sheet for your paint, but generally speaking, you can apply primer to a scuffed/prepped clear coat. Generally speaking, I wouldn't do this. I would scuff/prep the clear and then lay colour then clear. Adding the primer to these steps just adds cost and time. It will stick to the clear coat provided it has been appropriately scuffed/prepped first.  When you say, "but the new paint is landing on the old clearcoat" I am imagining someone not masking up the car and just letting overspray go wherever it wants. Surely this isn't what you mean?  So I'll assume the following scenario - there is a small scratch. The person manages to somehow fill the scratch and now has a perfectly flat surface. They then spray colour and clear over this small masked off section of the car. Is this what you mean? If this is the case, yes the new paint will eventually flake off in X number of years time.  The easy solution is to scuff/prep all of the paint that hasn't been masked off in the repair area then lay the paint.  So you want to prep the surface, lay primer, then lay filler, then lay primer, then colour, then clear?  Life seems so much simpler if you prep, fill, primer, colour then clear.  There are very few reasons to go to bare metal. Chasing rust is a good example of why you'd go to bare metal.  A simple dent, there is no way in hell I'm going to bare metal for that repair. I've got enough on my plate without creating extra work for myself lol. 
    • Hi, Got the membership renewal email but haven't acted yet.  I need to change my address first. So if somebody can email me so I can change it that would be good.
