Hi all,

Cheers.

PS: Whats a good compression test result for a RB25? Mine was 130-135 on all cylinders..

G'day, welcome to Brisbane. Well the first thing to do is try and become a SAU QLD member that way you can get a discount card for a lot of your services. For car alarms etc, I'd recommend Northfield Car Sound. The service at their Moorooka store is pretty good. As for meeting up, there are Chilli nights (see the Chilleh Town! - Happy hour my ass... thread) but as far as cruising goes, it seems to be on a random basis. The really big ones like Massive Skylines Cruise to Lake Baroon was awesome (80+ Skylines).

80 skylines? Man that'd be enough to put any cop into a defect inspired seizure :lol: Thanks for the reply choyda.

Thursday nights are fun when someone organises them - meet up, have a chat, go for a spirited drive, park somewhere, have a chat, go home.

JB hi fi do a perfectly good job with alarms and not too expensive, the bloke who installs them at the Kedron JB does heaps and knows what he is doing.

Enjoy owning the line!

NIce R33!!! love the kit!

friday nights lot of v8s and imports go up to harry's diner.. Usually decent on a clear night.

I think thursdays people go up to aspley shopping center

Then you have broadbeach car park on sat night. But I haven't beenthere for a while since the cops have been a pain.

post-9125-1124500198.jpgYes, very nice kit. Both understated and aggressive at once! Nice clean car. I would combine an alarm and separate immobiliser as one backs up the other! Hidden switch immobilisers are cheap and good insurance while the alarm should deter idiots but not those in it for the money. If they want it, they will take it. I've seen many reports of thieves using flatbed tow trucks and just driving off with the car to play with the alarm at their leisure. :P

Thanks for the kind words guys... I actually think the kits a bit over the top for my tastes but its growing on me. I beleive its a top secret front bar, veilside skirts and a trial rear bar but not 100% sure.

Working something out with chris (audioexpress) for the alarm... Its already got an immobiliser at the moment.

    • I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.
    • Each to their own I guess  Me, I put just as much time into cleaning inside of the cars as I do on the outside As for getting wet, it is really no different than steam cleaning the carpets at home, apart from the cars carpet dries alot faster than the house, again, I only do it in the hotter months and leave the car opened up for a few hours As I only do it yearly, it is just before I do the diff and gearbox service, so I clean the carpets, then it's up on stands, wheels off, service, clean the undercarriage,  grease the bushings and do a nut and bolt check on everything  Disclaimer: I typically had all the time in the world to kill when I was working 馃ぃ, so spending a full day or 2 cleaning, serving and "looking at stuff" was,  easily achievable, and a fun mental therapy day As for time to kill, I retired last Wednesday, so apart from my physical training, my days are filled with lots of random jobs around the house and garden...."Idle hands are the Devils something something" I am also buying a new house sooner rather than later, I'm actually looking at a potential property tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting a car hoist as I'm starting to get to old to crawl around under a car, I can only imagine all the undercarriage cleaning and looking at stuff when that gets set up
    • Yeah, I'm not interested in wetting the carpets, and I don't care about brown dirt/dust that lives deep in the pile or underneath. It's not like I crawl around on them in my birthday suit or eat dropped food off them (because there is never any open food in my car). The seats are alcantara (cheap Chinese imitation alcantara, to be sure!) with barely 1" of foam pad behind the surface. That's not getting wet either. Any car that I would be happy to get the interior wet, I would not care to put the effort into.
    • We have one that holds 2.8L of water. On floor carpet that hasn't been touched in 2 or 3 years, will take a minimum of 2 fills of the tank to do a bedroom, and that's going AROUND the bed.   In the cruiser, I used an ENTIRE 2.8L tank, just on the front passenger footwell. But it had some fungus growing, and had been full of mud from being used as a 4WD for many years. I can do that floor again, and it will still pull mud out. However, the water now only looks dirty, not pitch black and leaving full sludge in the bottom of the tank it sucks back into. Oh, and, this is about a $1500 unit.
    • This is mine, works a treat for the cars, suction is good, I use the Bissell clean and protect stuff I have found giving it a good spray and light scrub with the soft brush on the head of the nossle for carpet, and a rub with a microfibre for cloth seats and cloth door trims, prior to another quick spray before vacuuming it up works the best @GTSBoy You would surprised on what it gets out of carpet and seats that actually "look" clean, I recommend that you test drive yours when you have a little time to kill, then post pics of the muddy looking water that I believe you will find
