Nothing wrong at all. I have a few gay friends, my landlords are gay and my mum has lots of gay friends (she's a bit of a fag hag).

And fags only have good dress tips if you're Metrosexual and wear pink shirts with the collar up while sporting a metro-mullet :(

To address a few things..

1. We're not gay. You can even ask my girlfriend who is in Perth waiting for me to get home. :laugh:

2. All alcohol consumption will be done in Perth.

3. The wombat bit me.

1. get some nets to protect ur radiator from clogging since ull be an insect mass murderer.

2. change ur coolant or add a bottle of water wetter(bring some along as well as octane booster)

3. run THICK OIL, maybe 25w-60

4. drink heaps of water (this usually kills hunger and keeps u feeling tired during long drives)

5. redbulls are good but stops for strecthing legs is highly recommended

6. good pair of sunnies

7. sunscreen on arms.

slow down and pull to the side when u see a roadtrain, u DO NOT want a cracked windscreen. (or bring gogles)

enjoys mofos, ill be looking forward to seeing nathan again, he still owes me a ride in his car.

:(

I wouldn't be pulling over every time I see a truck. You'd be stopping every 30mins or so (and rocks don't stick to the road lol).. not to mention the dangers of being on the side of the road while a road train cruises up your rear :(

Nathan I'll try find the site that was written by a couple of guys on a surfing trip from the East to the West.. its a good read.. and it gives a few good tips.

Thanks for the advice so far guys.

I've already thought of most of it so far.

I'm looking in to those car bra thingys. I'd like to best protect the paint job and intercooler as best I can. The last thing I want to have to worry about is that sort of crap when I get home.

As for octane booster, hopefully that won't be necessary. I've planned the trip according to where BP Ultimate is available so we'll be dishing out a few extra dollars to make sure we have 2 spare tanks worth with us to make sure we get across the Nullabor without having to use dodgey fuel. It also turns out that it's along the shortest route anyway.

Both cars have just been serviced (well, both motors have just been rebuilt and coincidently finished at the same time) and had oil replaced so that shouldn't be an issue until we get home.

As for fluids (both human and car consumables) yeah, that's a must. Already on the list.

I'll be checking condition of hoses and stuff as well and the wear of a few other bits and pieces to.

If you can think of anything else, it'd be much appreciated. :( Cheers guys.

And as for driving tips, as already mentioned above, monitor engine temps, carry extra fuel/octane booster just in case, drink plenty of water, go at your own pace and give yourself rest stops.

Also, load up the stereo with plenty of good music cause you'll have hours and hours to kill!

P.S. You drive safely too Ossie!

Thanks for the offer, Dave! I'll be sure to catch up with ya when I return. I'll give the car a bit of a once over once she's home safe. She's going straight for a service once she gets back!

As for extra fuel, we'll be carrying quite a bit to get us across the Nullabor. I think I mentioned earlier I've planned the trip so only BP Ultimate will be used.

As for music.. The stacker will be full and I'll have a few MP3 CDs in the inventory.

Look forward to catching up with yas soon, cheers guys!

    • Before you blow your car up, have you checked you've made all the correct modifications to the wiring if you're still using the RB20DE loom?   Some things to look at: The pin used for the map sensor on the RB25DET, is the same pin used on the RB20DE for the Ring Gear Crankshaft Position Sensor, no idea what you've got it plugged into now. The turbo pressure control valve solenoid you're talking about on the RB25DET, the same pin is used for the Variable Air Intake Control Valve on the RB20DE.   The factory manual has the wiring pinouts in it for you to check everything. It also has the diagnostics process to read codes out. In addition, there's a great table that shows what sensors and what actuators not functioning will relate to which signals. And Nissan confirm the as everyone else has from experience, the Solenoid being disconnected won't cause a fuel cut. However, the turbo pressure sensor being missing / wrong, WILL cause a fuel cut. https://www.nicoclub.com/service-manual?fsm=Skyline%2FR34-Workshop-Manual-English.pdf
    • I've been hunting info on the G Series II - this is best I have found so far(Link below). Still waiting on the G35-1150 comp map, kind of very keen   So how do we go about getting precision on that little table of yours ?   https://turbosbytm.com/sites/default/files/product/technical-info/Garrett-G-Series-II-Product_Flyer 25 30 35_1.pdf  
    • yeah I get ~0.6L per session into the catch can. very ethanoly. It ends up overflowing out the breather of the catch can on circuit days too even with a 2.3L capacity catch can and I only drain out ~0.6L max. So every session I have to come in and drain the catch can, which is a hassle. So this is me cracking the shits and doing everything I can without removing the motor (back of head sump drain/breather and oil restrictors off the table). plans short term are: full length splash plates remove oem cam cover baffle add foam and reinstall at -10 or -12 AN fittings to the side of the cam covers down to the sump (luckily I already have fittings in the sump) Yes the ~340,000km unopened motor is probably not helping things
    • I'd use any fuel safe foam....mine went in 15 years and 15 rebuilds ago, still getting reused I'd have to say I don't understand swapping to studs to fit a particular baffle unless you are having a massive blowby issue, and even if you are addressing crankcase not head breathing is probably the next step.
    • BTW, the reason I came in here to "update" this list was that the Garrett G Series II range have been released and I've updated the list with their flow details if you're curious to check how they fit with previous Garretts and other brands The G-Series II G35 990 looks like a banger...
