I'm looking at starting the lake jumping/silly season early this year. my next free weekend is the 14th and 15th of november. most likely on the sunday.

I'm planning on draging the ramp out of my yard to the rowing docks, taping a few bottles to my BMX bike, getting some beer, maybe cook up a bbq, and have an awesome day down on the shores of lake burley griffin.

So who would be interested in coming down and having a crack at it?

honestly its only water, it cant hurt ya, bahaha.

Heres some pics from last season

also theres some vids from last season too on my facebook page, worth checking out...

3/4 backflips really do hurt :(

I a more than keen to do this. Like excessively keen. I've got an old BMX we might be able to use as well, I'll take the brakes off it and it will be sweet!

But yeah I don't quite trust that lake....oh well I don't care, if's it's open then whatever, just don't inhale it rofl. Would prefer another location tho.

Oh also, My mate has a ramp very similar to the on you use, that he built ages ago but doesn't use. We could use both? rofl

yeah troy the more ramps the better, if it is smaller than mine then that would be awesome, (most people say there gonna give it a go then get scared of the big ramp lol)

and eyah 2 bikes makes it heaps fun

I'm very open to suggeestions of a new place to jump, but I'll keep an ear out about the lakes condition

I'm going to have a look at a potential spot at lake G

The place we use at Burley is fully booked out for that day :laugh:

funny though... this is the first time i have ever looked at whether anything is going on at the docks... better find out now than on the day i guess

It's back on! sunday the 13th dec, same place at 1:30 pm

i organised it then remembered about that possible chrissy cruise, if that happens on the 13th it'll be a good place to stop and check out the lake.

Standing around looking at cars being pampered that are designed for flogging and should be on the track, I think the track still wins :)

Me and Zane celebrated the r32's birthday in true nissan style taking 1 and 2 in class at Oran Park. Thats what the 32 is all about

    • I was more thinking so it doesn't flop around as much rather than for rotating it. Once you have the balance right, it should rotate well enough, depending on how much resistance there is on the pivot. I think you said the pivot point was on a bearing though didn't you?
    • You can get them with the worm drive rotator but I was too tight to pay another $250-$300 so manual labour it is! I don't think it will be too hard to rotate though. 
    • Sag as in the windows start to slowly open themselves, or they're just slow to go up/down with engine off?
    • It looks like it needs a big worm gear drive on it to control the rotating, not a few sloppy pins!
    • As Duncan said, first there was OBD, which few cars used, then came OBD2.   Now an interesting point, OBD2 isn't even for what you want to do. OBD2 is for emissions testing. There is some sensor data on OBD2, but it's up to the manufacturer what they're putting on it. Most scan tools operate on UDS, which like OBD2 is a standard built on-top of CAN. UDS specifies how to structure a message, what very limited things mean such as "read memory address" but it does not specify what is stored in which memory address, that is all up to the manufacturer. You either a scan tool compatible with that vehicle, or to know how to reverse engineer all the data, which can take a VERY long time and a lot of vehicles to get it right. Oh and then the manufacturer does a firmware update and changes what's where... Ask me how I know that as fact Oh, and by the time you've got the scan tool that supports all the manufacturers stuff, well, you're back at "But a consult cable and the Nissan software" The main difference being most manufacturers software these days works with the same hardware readers, as the readers are built to support J2534 which is another standard for how the PC communicates with the tool to make it do specific things on the car...
