How could you not notice that PhatMirage was only like 3 to 4 feet taller than everyone else...........? :)

lol...yeah I did....I asked him to kneel down at one stage so I didn't feel so freakin short

Another good night and some great fun.. Even if we did end up taking the "scenic" route and lost everybody. But there was no WAY i was stopping in front of the blue boys.

Was loosing traction fair bit going up those twisties.. damn crappy tyres. Also have to love it when the exact moment you lose a bit of traction a car happens to be coming right around that same corner :-$ few scary moments. I need a GTR :)

Still want to know what happened to the sil80 driver who just kinda stopped (stuffed something?) in the other lane of the mountain? when a few other cars were coming the other way??

Yeah but the sad thing is that all those people who did not go through beechmont, only did the warm up twisties, Beechmont was the main feature of the cruise, but shit hppens, got heaps of maps ready so if we ever do it again they'll be there!

yup..wherever we *did* end up was a pretty mad route.. one lane most of the way and exciting features such as gravel and pitch blackness. Was pretty mad in itself, but had absolutely no idea where i was or where i was going, until i finally saw a sign that said "nerang 26km"

Cool well at least it was an enjoyable night for even those who got lost.

Still dissapointed about the guy who got the ticket, that just pain sucks, and it was on my cruise, oh well, you get that on these big jobs :)

I have to say i was very impressed with my maiden voyage!!

The GTR i was passenger in sure had some pull thru those twisties and a few of the straights!! (It is for sale by the way :D ) Good to meet the crew. Pity about the split group but such is life. And as for the speeding ticket...110 in a 70 pulled over by a police dog unit (dont know if they had a radar or what, kev didnt see any reading....) Maybe i should not have even invited him BUGGER!! Thats what happens if your the 1st or the last in the pack i suppose.

I look forward to the next adventure.

Haro

I emailed the pics to Chris (Nexus) and waiting for him to post them, if doesnt I'll wait till I get instructions from Adrian (strutto) on putting them up onto somewhere using his webspace, either way I'll get them up here :D

    • Lucky pick up Best to find these things before something horrible happened to the yoke flange thingies I would hate to think what would happen if it dropped the tailshaft  Hopefully the holes are not flogged out in the yokes and it was just the bolts that got munted  As for the hand brake.....ouch, look like the disc got rather hot, and I assume smokey, I recall when I had a front caliper seize on the Commodore, there was lots of smoke and the disc was glowing cherry red when I was able to eventually stop and have a look, and stopping a big heavy car, going down a big hill with some rather high RPM down shifts and some hand brake action is something that makes you think hard about life
    • 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 one 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.
