If any of ya was wonderin what happen to me? well i waved ya all past. then well my car just shut off. no power watsoever. and no service on my voda fone. and my bro was motion sick. Although only took us 15 mins to work out. the battery terminal had jumped off? wtf?

Didnt think i could catch back up to yaz. So then i turned around and went back thru it all just for good measure,

Hope everyone made it safely.

Cheers for a great run. Will do it again! just need better breaks. Really does hammer ur breaks if u got stock bendix pads on. They just heat up way too much, Especially on the down hill parts. :P

interesting run....

highlight of the night for me would be being followed up Mt Mee for about 15km by a cop 4wd, sitting right on my arse, waiting for me to do something wrong.... after a while he slowed right down and dissapeared....

then got followed again after dropping Col off

then got pulled over by the RBT on the highway (breath test, nothing more)

much police activity!

While we were waiting at the samford road turnoff for the 6 or so cars that got lost...

Old Lady - "are you racing? Theres like 60 cops coming up behind us RIGHT NOW if your racing."

Me - "I just came up from that way, I didnt see any cops. I also have friends back there and they havnt rang me."

"THERES STILL COPS COMMING AND WE HAVE PEOPLE IN THE BUSHES WITH CAMERAS (no shit, she said, she has people in the bushes) AND WE HAD A COMMUNITY MEETING"

"Kay."

Classic.

So a few hickups. A few people got lost, it got seperated a few times, that unfortunate incident with the orange light and the two 33's having man-love. The biggest non-event of the night? When the cop car rocked up next to me after we pulled over to wait to regroup for heading to mt mee. He had a quick chat to me then toodled off after some bright spark thought it would impress the girls accross the road if he did a maaaad skid. Right infront of the police shop. Whoops. In the mean time however some other bright spark lost his nuts and hooked it and headed back the way we came after seing the xmas lights, and half the damn cruise followed him.... Most of them came back, but I think we lost one or two.

Mt Mee was my favourite of the runs by far. It was fresh and intresting to me, i hadnt been up there much before. The intake temps were good and thoes 100-km/h speed limits were gold. Mt Nebo is my old stomping ground and I was sitting right on the speed limit everywhere I went on it while I was setting the pace.

All in all for 80% of the cars and cruisers the night went off without too much of a hitch. There was a bit of a wait while we waited for thoes who miss the samford turnoff to come back from summerset dam, but other then that everyone seemed to have fun. I sure enjoyed it.

    • My hold point for future mods is that I want a OEM detachable hard top first, but, finding one is a pain, MX5 Mania are looking for one for me, but, as hens teeth are more common, finding one in Australia is proving problematic  I can get a OEM one from overseas, hell, you can still get new ones in 'Merica, but, shipping is a absolute killer and I cannot justify the cost, or the risk of it being damaged during transport As for the aftermarket hardtops, whilst they do the job of being a hard top, and are fine for a track car, they don't seal well (read: leak like a sieve in the rain), and you need a plastic/poly rear window, plus they are a bolt in option only and not made to be easily removed I liked how the hard top on my NB could be fitted, and removed, by myself, in less than 5 minutes I know it sounds bad, but I'm waiting for someone to write off a car with one so I can swoop in on their pain, it will go to a good home though, so my guilt of this is tempered
    • I’ve got one on mine and it’s fine, 
    • No, you don't want to plug the vacuum line, as that will turn that side of the booster into an air spring and probably make it feel worse. I'm not saying that the GTR master itself doesn't need a booster. I haven't paid attention to the GTR one to know what size it is cf the non-GTR ones. But when you think about it - they have to do the same job, which is to move a little slave piston a few mm to do what it is supposed to do, and that final action is the same on all the cars. So, it is very unlikely that the GTR MC is any different than the others, because it has the same pedal stroke and the same output requirement. The booster just makes it feel easier. I'd suggest you probably have an actual hydraulic problem. It's totally common on these old shitboxes.
    • Ye, in terms of bolting up the "Conversion" from a GT to a GTT is effectively "Use GTT parts for everything" Except the subframe itself, because you won't want a HICAS/4WS subframe. Remember your ABS system will be different too, thanks to GT being the S15 3 sensor system, instead of the R34 4 sensor system for wheel speed. I do not know how people get this to work given R34 diffs do not have a provision for an ABS sensor (they are on the tone wheels of the axles). I assume***** people use S15 gear/R34NA forever when they realize this - Or they convert it to a rear diff/axles that are R33 style which I presume has the singular speed sensor on the diff itself, but then you have to wire it all in and...and... and...
