That's the one!

Also can't beleive you guys use heiffer creek road as a play ground. Last time I was there it was scary as f**k. It was a goat track with semis on the wrong side of the road every second corner. Must have fixed it up a bit since then.

I keep trying to push the "there are big mofo trucks on this road" speech.... But it is a nice road just stay on your side.

I've almost been cleaned up probley 2 years ago on it

Probably not great for a convoy, some of the passes are hairy enough passing one car. A mate got bullied into a guard rail by a passing semi a few years back, the pric just kept going

Ok, how about you skirts go cruise along the warrego while us men go along gatton-clifton? :P

Single lane bumpy country roads are my fav...love powering along them sitting right in the middle :)

If your down that way again tell me ill come for a strop with you lol

The best driving roads as far as corners and scenery go are always quite dangerous....they are usual ancient and are also too expensive to build and maintain properly to begin with. Some of the cuts that they did into the stone faces on that road are pretty impressive...surprising that they actually did it at all :/

But I reckon that road combined with flagstone for the return is the BEST around here by far!

For sure Nick, I reckon Chris would be keen too....he's at expert level thru the twisties ;)

Was talking to the old man the other day - he reckons there're some other scenic locations too that he goes along for sunday bike rides. Will have to get him to spill the beans

This adds an extra level of danger given that it is frequented by trucks! Where as other drivers roads are not commonly used by psychotic truckies.

Esk - Hampton Road used to be awesome, not sure what it is like now since they did some upgrades. I think they have possibly straightened it out a lot

All of Toowoomba is quite heavily frequented by trucks - every day life for us Toowoomba-ites ;) Some of the roads / lanes in town can be an even tighter squeeze with trucks than that Heifer creek run hey...craziness!

It's alright man, you don't have to go along it Bunta haha....I'm happy to go along wherever, this one that we're talking about is just a new personal fav of mine that I'd rather go thru with 1 or 2 others as opposed to a whole cruise creeping along at snail pace

Hmm may ditch the auto one meet up and come to this, as well it cost substantially less and as my windows stuck down I think the chances of my car getting stolen are leas

Haha yeh the only one you have to worry about stealing your car is me now ;-)

Meet at HCP on Sunday at 11:30? Have some form of route planned

That sounds mighty fine to me! Show ya my new black shoes eh? She's practically a different car :wub:

      R33 GTS25 NA - Stalling when vehicle is at operating temp

      By dbm7 · Posted

      Same thought crossed my mind ~ depends on how one connotes 'stalling'...ie; gets a rough/stumbling idle as it get warm until it stalls... or... idles ok and simply falls-over when it gets to temp... ...you can test the whole circuit with a couple of resistors ...unplug coolant temp sensor, bridge terminals with a 2K7 resistor (ECU will do cold start), or with engine warm bridge with a 330R resistor (ECU will consider engine to be at normal operating temp)...it's a quick way to check wiring integrity/ECU response when you don't have a multimeter handy ...

      They also make them with the motor mounted on the side

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Just be warned that that turbo will not be a direct re-fit to the car. The exhaust housing is, of course, in the same place. It has to be - it's bolted to the exhaust manifold. So the dump will fit up. But the centre housing is not as long, so the comp housing will move backwards. This will affect both the turbo inlet and the outlet. There is fab work that needs to be done. Yes. it has one, it should have one. Paper gasket.

      Exhaust silencers/varex exhausts

      By PotatoCake · Posted

      I only recently purchased the vehicle, it came with the flex setup but the current tune is e85 only, which is why im wanting to get the tune redone to enable a mixture.  First i need to get the exhaust redone tho. I was thinking of getting a varex muffler but it sems they dont fit well in the 33 (hang low because of the valve mechanism which sticks out on top) and generally dont sound good. So that leaves me with redoing the entire exhaust (more resonators and mufflers) so its not a menace when i come and go from home, and then have the aes dump valve somewhere along the line to really open it up. I was thinking of having it before the cat but after seeing how insanely loud it will be (on a vl turbo) im thinking of putting it more towards the rear of the car, after one of the resonators.

      At this point I'm just 'hoping' it's the turbo seals. I did speak to someone who said it's normal for these turbos to have a bit of axial play? Not gonna lie I've never checked a turbo for axial play before but you could hear it tapping a bit as I moved it back and forth. Surely that's too much? My theory is (could be completely wrong), bad axial play, worn bearings, bad seals, oil into dump/compressor side, burns in exhaust = blue smoke. On a timing belt related note, my crank pulley was missing that front plate that sits in front of the timing belt. It's that metal round plate. It did have the rear one, and the woodruff keys are in the crank which was nice. Can anyone confirm if the NEO det engine has a front plate, im sure it would to protect the front of the timing belt or something. Water pumps...the pump I got was an NPW (yes grill me if I should've got a genuine one lol). It has a smooth mating surface, kit came with a pretty pathetic looking paper gasket. Do I need to use any RTV or just trust the gasket will work because its a smooth mating surface? Cheers legends have a good Easter break!
