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

something like this perhaps?

[lilcrash]

That looks like an awesome drive. I'm in if my car is running/ If I can get my water lines sorted. Currently stuck with the water line behind the head.

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???

[Commsman]

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.

[lilcrash]

My car is running now so when ever this happens I'm in.

[CruisingFast]

Have fun guys and girls... will try and make the next one. Getting my car back at the end of the week. Tis a shame this wasn't on at the end of the month....

My cars been in the shop for a long 6 weeks putting things back together. The motor went in today. Got a couple photos on Friday checking out the progress... looking nice and tidy.

Exhaust port and polish inside.

Mmmmmm Tomei Camshafts.

[Commsman]

23rd sounds good for me as well.

[lilcrash]

23rd sounds good to me too, but just remember to not leave me behind. I can't go above 4500rpm.

[lilcrash]

LOL, proposed route? I just looked on google maps for the squigliest road in the Gold Coast hinterland . 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.

[lilcrash]

Anyone know when darrin gets back? I think we should try to organize meeting points and where we are headed since it's only 2 weeks away
