Went for a bit of a Mountain Run on Mt Nebo with 46n2 last night. Not a bad stretch of road, some nice challenging sections, might have to make an appearance at the next Mad mountain run. Looks like heaps of fun. Any other recommendations for places for a good mountain run?

Nebo has a much better surface than tambo. Some of the gold coast hinterland mentioned above is good also. Go to the end of Nebo and turn right....long open road.

Sunshine coast - maleny, connondale etc also good.

There is a BIG Mountain Cruise coming up. Keep an eye out.

Micheal - New sway bar and new tyres, very impressive, not to mention the full service. What rubber did you end up going for? Don't know about this weekend, I have an assignment due Monday which I still haven't started, and Saturday is already a write off.

There is a road, I can't quite remember, out past Woodforde that cuts back through Mt Mee and ends up near Samford I think. It was very tight. Dad used to take me up there in the mini when I was learning to drive. Gotta love dad's style, learning to drive mountain run style!

I probably have been up to Mt Glorious, in fact I am sure of it, it just so long ago I can't remember the road.

Grandparent live in Lismore, there used to be lots of great mountain runs around there but most of those roads have been upgraded since then with all of those bypasses and stuff.

Mt. Nebo / Mt. Glorious is probably the best in QLD. Go on a Sunday and race all the bikes. I went when I had the line with a mate in his 180, a supra and a s13 and we raced these two bikes. Got to the top and stopped for a drink and they came up and couldn't get over how well we had done....very cool spot but you gotta be fast not sideways cause if you hold up the bikes they get ticked...I love the big signs at the bottom that have a pic of a bike and the words "Speeding has killed on this section of road"

One of the best bits of the mountain is a section down to the left (north) of the main road when you come from the Toowoomba side, its about half way along. It is VERY steep and great for drift as no other cars use it much. Go in the wet, the bikes aren't there and you can get all sideways, just remember that there aren't always guardrails to stop you so be carefull on un guarded corners :P

    • That ring thing is interesting how it's holding everything together 
    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
