"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

    • I ❤️ Matty I would like to thank Matty for going out his way in securing me a OEM NC detachable hard top for the NC Matty, your worth your weight in gold, and I cannot say how much I really appreciate your outstanding help I'll get it colour matched once I pick it up sometime in Dec-Jan 😁  
    • We have some genuine Japanese legally decommissioned car number plates now in stock 🙂 Add some legitimately obtained JDM style to your Skyline or other Japanese model, or simply as a garage/man cave decoration! About the 40mm hole: The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure & Transport in Japan recognised the popularity of keeping decommissioned plates among car enthusiasts and came up with a method to "destroy" (or render them unusable for street use) while still retaining their collectable/usable value for display etc.  We have 40mm hole covers available to cover the hole nicely with a Sakura motif, which are also available in white in (very!) limited quantities, however they frequently sell out. Please let me know if you're wanting one or more of these and I'll check availability. The Sakura motif covers are more common. https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-decommissioned-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-set-su-7515 https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-decommissioned-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-set https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-400mm-hole-cover *Please note that we can't obtain particular number or area name (eg: "Gunma 500 Fu ・86") if requested. All plates are provided as they become available after decommissioning. 
    • Ah, fair enough. For the IAT, I'm using a legit GM sensor that was used on the car prior to my current build. I'll get another wideband and IAT ordered and follow up when they show up. Thanks for the help.
    • You shouldn't need to massively fatten up the mixtures for cold conditions. For one thing - 0°C is not that cold. For another, the Haltech will be using the IAT sensor to tell it how dense the air air, and calculate the correct amount of fuelling. Then the cold start enrichment is added as a % on top of that, so it should scale with the main fuelling. You might also doubt the IAT sensor at this time. You're not using one from an RB26 are you? Using a nice Bosch sensor or similar? Happens. Some wideband units take great pleasure in killing their sensors. Put another wideband in the tailpipe and compare. Or just swap the sensor to a brand new one and see.
    • Oh, my misunderstand. When the car was running, it sounded ok, but if I gave it any gas it wanted to die but caught itself afterwards. It's very different from how it was a couple months ago when it was warmer outside. The logs show that the AFRs are better during, what I assume, is warmup enrichment. Because it's cold, and air is more dense, should I work on the enrichment bit?
