+2....I'd like to know as well.......does anyone know what is going on around here

Hahaha. I thought you were in charge of this one.... Should we start throwing in suggestions for routes etc? I don't have any BTW, but would appreciate it if not too far north, although the last drive thru the mountains was very enjoyable.

Doesn't look like I will be able to make it gents. My engine is half built though still waiting on the port job on the head before run in tune. A real shame really as I should have the car in a week or two though still on a run in tune and I don't want to do anything too far from home in the first 500 km's.

I'll be posting a build thread up later once I have the photos of everything getting done. Gone a little silly on the car with the engine rebuild and thinking of putting a larger turbo on though still undecided what I would want if I move to a single setup.

Got the block chemically cleaned and micro polished, bored 40 though, CP oversized pistons, Nitto h beams, nismo bearings, full arp and head stud kit, crank cryo frozen, tomei oil restrictor, nitto oil pump, high octane sheet metal sump extension, tomei sump baffle, full port job on head, tomei type b cams, tomei valve springs, tomei metal gasket kit, cam baffles, hks type r intercooler, Z32 afms & kakimoto exhaust.

Good idea

southside hills...only leaves Tambo or back of Goldy......need a plan....I will have alook at google

No Dyno. I spoke with EFI. It is too hard to drop front shafts on the day etc etc. and not enough numbers anyway. We would be lucky to have had 5 or 6

My car goes into EFI on Wednesday for 11 days while I am in NZ getting another bigger clutch and a retune from 16 to 20psi :banana:

Guys,

I am going to have to cancel this meet all togather.

I was suppose to nbe in NZ now on hoildays but due to ash cloud and cancelled flights, I have had to move my trip back a week. So I actually will not be back until the 11th July.

Plus I wont have my car back from the workshop either due to leaving later.

Will look at re scheduling later in July or eraly August

I was planning on going to qld sau drag day end of July to race again. If people are intersted, could combine a meet and finish there to either watch or join in???

No worries. Since I don't want to organise it, I'm happy to go with whatever comes up.. Maybe there'll be more interest in the dyno if we go later....

Happy holidays mate.

so is everyone happy with commsman's proposed route?? or would u guys like to hit mt mee again?? or any other suggestions??

LOL, proposed route? I just looked on google maps for the squigliest road in the Gold Coast hinterland :rolleyes: . Not sure now where that was.

I really dug Mt Mee, but was a long drive from Byron. Still happy to go back for another run if that's what people want tho.

      Tyres you use(d) and how u would rate them

      By The Bogan · Posted

      Done about 5k Km on the PS5's now, excellent street tyres, great in the dry, and the wet, seem to be wearing very well, I haven't measured tread depth, but it looks like minimal wear, I also had a different alignment done about 1500km ago,  From looking at the tread wear, which is really only minimal, the alignment changes were based off how the tread looked, and how it felt throwing it around, the changes have shown great results 215/45 17 at 32 psi Front Caster: 5.5° Camber: -1.5° Toe: 0.0mm Rear Camber: -1.0° Total Toe-in: 1.5mm I actually prefer PS5's now over the RS4's, as the PS5's are much better in the wet IMO, and as the MX5 gets driven in all weather conditions doing daily duties, hwy trips, and blasts in the mountains, wet weather grip is high on my priority list

      Front LSD Quaife , how streetable ?- QDF3L Owners

      By Butters · Posted

      Indeed they do. Best my diff builder could tell is it's a combination of the different cut/angle and it would seem they lap them in well on accell but less so on decel. He had to use a slightly different pattern to the lap to get the best result noise wise. Also as the rear diff runs in, the whine is getting less.        Overall they seem like a good thing so far. He's done a few neat crown/pinion before but all for race cars with loud everything, in most cases the exhaust is louder, so I am the first to notice.... and be somewhat of a pain

      R34 4 door indicator and horn issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      What do you mean by "test"? It sounds like you're just switching things on and off that you already know don't work. Get the wiring diagram and a multimeter and start looking for power where there is supposed to be power and earth where there is supposed to be earth. Look for continuity across switches that are otherwise unresponsive, etc etc.
