I *might* be keen for something, if my car is on the road. I should have my exhaust back on this afternoon, and hopefully she runs well as it should. Only other foreseeable issue I have with the car will be suspension/steering feeling sloppy and loose, and VERY nasty camber wear on the rears. Otherwise I'm at least keen to come out for a little while

oooooo no sorry there's no way in hell I'm going near the cotter. i don't care what you all say, those roads are f**king unacceptable. And coast will be too far for a day trip, can't afford the excessive use of petrol....especially given I desperately need new rear tyres :( I'm more for a cruise around canberra for the hell of it, I wanna make sure there's nothing else wrong with my car before I go too far with it.

Seriously though dude, the roads around the Cotter are fine. Hell I'd take them over the roads in the Inner North any day of the week. The roads around Dickson are a f**king disgrace.

Otherwise come for a ride around the Cotter or up to Honeysuckle in the VII with me...hehehehe I'll show you how those roads are supposed to be driven. ;)

.....no homo.

homo. But nah man up to Honeysuckle creek turnoff is just appalling....feels like I'm going to bounce off the corners or get slammed by a pothole :( although I DO agree with you regarding roads around dickson....what the shit.

I done Honeysuckle yesterday. View is soo much better than the Cotter(apart from the Dam). The Road at the Cotter is soo much better than HoneySuckle and is the Cotter is no way near bad. If I was to rate it, it would be about a 7.

Cotter is good due to the fact that they are fun roads, I have never seen any cops out there (My mate got caught speeding the other day and they told him to head out cotter way) and you can just turn dodging the potholes into a game. So does that mean I have no one keen for a cruise on Australia day?

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
