So what are the groups?

or are mine just missing something.

GDay Albert,

Group#1 will be R34 GT-Rs with mxfly and Terry_GT-R34 in their midst

Group#2 will be R34 GT-Ts/GTs with SHANE666 and lankanboii ditto

Group#3 will be Non-R34s with pbk1776 and God_speed ditto

All organisers will be easily spotted in their Orange Shirts with Tags

Just to keep everything in order until tucked into their spots at the top of the mountain.

Cheers, Tez

From the ACT...

It looks as if 'CeJay' and his R32 GT-R will be coming in Group #3 Raf & Matt (God_speed)

And 'GTRKat' is a likely with his R32 GTsT

I wish I had a gtr, but it's only a 4dr gts4 with a 25det in it :P

You're right again...

We're considering that same spot along the tree-lined stretch between Clarendon & Richmond opp RAAF and next to the tennis complex under the trees.

And that spreadsheet of Matt's creates order out of chaos :P

Well after the recon run yesterday, we managed to scope out some really nice spots in Mt Wilson. Some pics were taken to show everyone what the area looks like as well.

Pics below are where we will line up for photo shoot and car judging at Mount Wilson. Everyone are welcome to be involved with the judging as well. Prizes for each category winner includes GT-R car models, genuine Nismo shirts and track tops, and perhaps other little goodies yet to be finalised.

This is the visitors information map. The Avenue (Mt Wilson Rd) is where we will line up the cars. Cathedral reserve on top right is where we will do lunch, performance by Japanese swordsmen, prize presentation, and more photoshoots!

This is the only cafe in Mt Wilson where food can be purchased. We are under negotiations with the proprietor to see if they can cater for most of us on the day. Obviously not everyone would want to buy their lunches there. In fact, after the photoshoot and judging, we will relocate to a nice picnic area at Cathedral reserve so bring along your own lunch and drinks if you wish to.

Parking are outside the cafe. Condition of the road is not too friendly with low cars so take extra care if you wish to go down there.

Cathedral reserve. Ample parking for all of us, although we will be scattered due to other people using the park as well. But we all agreed this will be the best place to lunch it and just relax. The dirt road is friendly for low cars as well as we used Matt's R33 GT-R to test it! We will also host the Japanese swordsmen demonstration here as well and in conclusion to the day, the winners of car judging will be announced here.

Well that's all for now. If anyone has any questions, just post them up here and we will respond asap.

Looks good.

Hopefully there will be no morons there who get carried away on the dirt roads hence throwing up stones on cars behind

Just make sure you are following Terry's car. He drives sooo sloow... :P

Seriously though in an attempt to control that sort of behaviour I think that we will be getting the lead car of each group to take the speed down quite a bit once we turn into the access road that leads into Mount Wilson. As you are hinting at, the roads (while they are sealed and absent of any craters or significant potholes) are not exactly first-class blacktop when going into Mt Wilson so people should be keeping their speed in check.

When entering the picnic area at Cathedral Reserve in particular, drivers should take note of the dirt surfaces, as well as families / kids playing in the area (or women that happen to be crossing the road with dogs).

Driver is too slow!

I want to go fast but...

i) Terry can't get me past GO

ii) I never see $200 for fuel

iii) driver has lost 9pts and is 3pts away from JAIL

iv) I get stuck on Free Parking 75% of the time

v) 25% at Water Works

      I am currently going this route. I am curious how much horse power you put behind the cut bell housing? Collins was telling me I am going to crack it and bluh bluh bluh. Because I didn’t buy the custom fly wheel from him. I am looking for somewhere around like 500 hp

      Thanks @PranK for the updated member status, much appreciated! 👍🏼 Now, about those pics… Unfortunately I could only find ones that I took in the dark. I was soon to discover that underneath it wasn’t in the best shape, but it was mine and that’s all I cared about at the time 😆

      A little PU bush story

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Oh, and only having done this task yesterday, I've now driven the car ~60km since, and while it is hard to avoid placebo effect and confirmation bias, I reckon that some annoyances I had with the way the car has been behaving have improved. Which....kinda makes sense, I guess. If the bushes were really stiff and resisting rotation, they would have been contributing to the effective wheel rate. And if it was more so on one side (which it was, because one side was worse than the other) then.... you might imagine that the additional rate would be asymmetric, and potentially even different between compression and rebound. And so... the car has been twitchy at higher speeds - like freeway on ramps. It really shouldn't be. The wheel alignment is good and there are no (other) known problems elsewhere in the suspension. But at 90-100 on a long sweeping ramp, tiny steering wheel motions would make it feel like it wanted to rear steer. Quite nervous. At lower speeds it would heave about in a manner that it didn't use to. Didn't want to put power down, etc etc. Now...seems to behave better. Am going to have to concentrate on the various corners where it has exhibited weirdness, on the rare occasions when I can get a decent run at them without Methanial getting in the way in his D-Max/Ranger/LDV Van/etc.
