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

    • One of the things that never seemed right was the handbrake. Put in some nice new Project Mu shoes. We figured the rears were out, so why not. We're right there. My handbrake never worked well anyway. Well, this is them, 15km later. 67fdcf94-9763-4522-97a4-8f04b2ad0826.mp4 Keen eyes would note the difference in this picture too:   And this picture: Also, this was my Tailshaft bolts: 4ad3c7dd-51d0-4577-8e72-ba8bc82f6e87.mp4 It turns out my suspicions that ne side of the handbrake cable was stretched all along were pretty accurate, as was my intuition that I didn't want to drop the tailshaft to swap them on jack stands and wasn't entirely sure about bolt torque. I have since bought the handbrake cables which have gone in. I'm very glad that I went to my mechanic friend who owns an alignment machine to get an alignment before the track day, because his eyes spotted these various levels of "WHAT THE f**k IS GOING ON HERE?". Turns out the alignment wasn't that bad, considering we changed the adjustable castor arms out for un-adjustable castor arms, and messed with the heights. Car drove pretty good with one side of the handbrake stuck on, unbleedable rear brakes, alignment screwy, and the tailshaft about to go flying and generally being a death trap waiting to happen! (I did have covid) (I maintain I adjusted the handbrake correctly, but movement caused shennanigans and/or I dislodged the spring on the problem side somewhat, or god knows what). G R E G G E D
    • Very interesting, im not sure how all those complications fit in to running a haltech instead of a stock ecu but I'm starting to think I'm a bit out of my league.
    • I just put 2 and 2 together. This is a Neo converted R32. The Neo ECU (in concert with the R34's AC controller) runs the AC quite differently to how the R32 ECU and AC controller do it. If you just drop it all in, it won't work. There is some tricky wiring required, including changing to the pressure switch that the Neo controllers want to see. I don't know what it is, because mine was done by a guru. It was a year or so after I did that transplant before he worked out what needed to be done.
    • Don't assume the AC relay signal from the ECU is +, some models including Stagea use an earth trigger.
    • Hey good to see you on the forums! Haha Considering this cars past with electronic issues I am leaning towards it being a wiring fault somewhere in the engine bay. When testing the ac relay in the fuse box there was no earth trigger. I am probably going to try "bench test" the compressor by giving it direct ground and power to see if i can hear the ac clutch click otherwise I will be pretty sure I have a dead compressor. If it does work then I will be tracing some wiring it seems.
