"So you guys went through Taranar?" - Majanal

(i must learn how to use the forums and quote properly)

The skyline and gto boys went... It was great fun, nice road. Got some good pics outside Oconnell Pub :)

How is it these days... I heard that they have updated the roads mostly through there... is this true?

Dan.

PS. To Quote simply press the quote buton in the bottom right hand coner of the post that you want to quote... shit that rymes... I think.

I enjoyed the meetup and getting to meet some of the guys like mark, neil, scott and dan...

We ended up getting back home around 6:30pm that night after spending the arvo in the little town of bathurst. I heard something about a WRX (white one with P's on it) getting defected but I think that was the only intervention.

I would like to thank Dan for his insights on the way up and his help with Overtaking (will consider carefully next time before doing it!)

so where is this Taranar drive?

Yeh, i agree, it was good to meet you guys, look forward to catching up on cruises to come ...

The "Tarana road" (not actually called that i dont think) is a back road between Lithgow and Bathurst. If when coming out of Maccas lithgow you turn left instead of right onto the GWH and followed that for about 5mins, there is a right turnoff beside a big servo which takes you past lake lyall... follow that right though.. Kinda hard to describe, but i always take that road even though it adds about 20mins to the trip..... (well it should anyway :).

Now lets try a quote....

Heaps better than it was... I would have never taken my car on it how it was a few years ago. Now its all pretty smooth except for about a 1km of patchwork.... There is one section of hotpack tar... mmmm super grippy.. oh and the rollercoaster jump is as good as always...

How many skylines went on the highway ?? How was the drive ?

That was one of the best cruises I've ever been on! Thanks for showing us that back way to Bathurst Roman33T....it was awesome!

The mountain was fantastic...I never realised just how twisty and steep it is.

I'm compiling a video of the cruise...it sould be ready for download tomorrow.

The cruise raised over $700 so that's about $20 per car.

Awesome day...good to meet you all!

Neil, Are you aware how close you came to a serious accident on the mountain?

A group of us were watching you come around past us when a black silvia decides to pull out in front of you. Lucky for you he had traction problems.

Everyone who didnt turn up, and didnt go the back way to the mountain from Maccas really missed out. The road was perfecly fine except for some small patches. We encounted a uniformed officer in a excel, and a old gentleman who thought it was fine driving on the wrong side of the road - redgts-t found this out.

Whats the ETA on more pics and video footage?

Mark

    • UPDATE: Hi all!  As we are getting towards the end of this thread where I’ll showcase final dyno numbers and graph, I wanted to provide an update. Tao from HyperGear has done an amazing job building the custom divided T3 housing for the G30. Communication was flawless, price was great, and now the housing is estimated to arrive in 7-10 days! Very very pleased. I must add, if someone is looking for an affordable turbo and end up reading this thread, I would recommend HyperGear. Genuine brands are the way to go as their reliability is proven, performance can be predictable, and there’s a plethora of information available for specs, flow, and more. This HyperGear recommendation is based on their excellent communication, dedication, and willingness to listen to their customers. I particularly liked their ability to create custom adaptations tailored to specific needs, which is a HUGE benefit over other brands. And if we consider the HyperGear provided dyno results, it adds reassurance knowing their turbos can compete against genuine brands. Next update will be after the dyno!  
    • I've previously seen people post up "dress up bolt kits" for RBs but don't remember seeing them specify the full contents. I can only really suggest you grab the verniers and start measuring, and keep in mind the cam cover and timing cover bolts are both quite specific with a wider unthreaded section where the bushes sit, that will make it hard to get aftermarket replacements which tend to be all thread (set screws) or for longer bolts a flat section with a shorter threaded section at the end
    • I believe there was a similar one posted by @duggyphresh. They were re-routing their battery positive cable in the way I am also trying to achieve. Sorry, I’m new to this forum, so was a bit late to the party by a few months and so reignited the old thread, as I wanted to know how they got on with doing it.
    • Wasn't there a thread on this very subject just a few weeks ago?
    • Hi all! Looking to relocate the battery to the trunk of an R34 GTT. I want to do it using as many stock GTR components as I can (including the harness protectors from the 34 GTR that run underneath along the chassis to the engine bay). So far I’ve purchased the battery tray from a 33 GTR, as the captive weld nuts are already there just asking to be used. There is also the slight issue of now having to relocate the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU, which in GTT’s sits right above where the battery will then sit on the tray. Has anyone already achieved this, and if you have any pics that you wouldn’t mind sharing? It would be great to see how others have done it and where you put them, as there are countless holes in the parcel shelf panel to potentially use. Just trying to get some ideas bounced around, and to help uncover any potential problems I may encounter by  my choice of location. TIA for any help!
