OK so the trip details are updated. Turns out Google back-tracked one leg so I've pushed the start time back 30 minutes and trimmed the pit stops to bare minimum. I know a lot of you long haul trip runners can do this no sweat in a quick run, but this is a group convoy. We have to plan for health breaks and there will be a few more stop/starts than if you just ran it solo.

If it's getting on your nerve - then just go ahead of the group. The whole point of this road trip is to make it enjoyable for the group.

As long as majority of people wanting to go are ok with it. I guess the people who can't/don't want to start early can organise a late starters trip. At the end of the day, we are all meeting up at the same destination!

^^

your right the dates not in the first post but assuming its the Friday morning we are leaving it would be the 28th of October.

Sydney Meeting Point:

Starting Location: Pheasants Nest Mobile

Starting Time: Meet up @ 7:30 for a 8.00 AM SHARP! departure.

We WILL leave right at 8:00 am so don't miss the bus.

i fixed the time in this quote Eric, does that seem about right now?

Nope the old time was 6:30 before for a 7:00 am depart. Already pushed it back 1/2 hour so do NOT read Pat's revision. Also updated the date (thanks)

Correct information:

In the pool with beers and blow up ponies? Hooray for pissed pony races!!!

Oh, was also going to tell you folks that MotiveDVD is covering the event. Andrew and crew will be driving down from Sydney and might be joining us on the convoy/film some of the trip down.

Hi Terry:

Quick question re Yass meet-up time:

According to your estimated drive times below, assuming you leave Pheasants Nest on time at 7:30am you will easily get to Yass Caltex by 9:30am -

This means nearly an hour's wait for rendezous with Canberra crew, and Yass ain't that interesting.

Maybe a 9:30 or 9:45 meet time would be better?

Thank you for organising this cruise - really looking forward to it

Robert

    • Hey all,   I’ve got an RB25 with a trigger kit that includes a crank wheel, and I’ve hit a wall trying to sort a timing belt tracking issue. The belt either rides right on the edge of the cam/crank pulleys or walks slightly forward once the engine starts. It tracks okay-ish for a moment, then creeps right to the edge—and honestly, it’s stressing me out.   I’ve spent hours removing and reinstalling the belt, double-checking everything:   Tensioner setup is good, checked multiple times Idler pulley and washers are all in the correct places Followed the RB25 timing procedure step-by-step     The only thing I changed was the rear crank washer—I swapped the OEM one for a Neato version, and it made things worse. The belt now sits even more forward than before. I’m beginning to think the crank trigger wheel itself (from the trigger kit) is the issue—poor design or slightly off dimensions.   What’s strange is that with the previous belt setup, it actually ran fine for a couple of years—around 4,000 to 5,000 miles, even with hard driving and high RPMs. But even then, the belt was always riding right on the edge, and I know that’s not ideal or safe long term.   At this point, I’m debating whether to:   Machine a few mm off the crank trigger wheel to bring it back in line, or Replace it entirely with a better-designed unit     Only thing is, I already have the Cherry Hall sensors, bracket, etc.—I just want to replace the wheel only, not the entire kit. Anyone know a brand or supplier that sells just the crank trigger wheel on its own?   Would really appreciate any feedback—especially from anyone who’s run into this exact issue and found a reliable fix.   Thanks in advance.
    • Hi...a little refresh. Is Nistune gonna be enough to run BoV? Or do i need some proper ECU? 
    • Yep that's pretty much what I want to see. Racecars that look and sound like the Group A but with newer tech underneath to make them faster and safer. I'm sure there's enough VK-to-VN commodore, E30 BMWs and Foxbody mustangs shells around to make up a decent number of cars with hopefully a couple of sierras, rx7 and R31s in there too. 
    • Contact Jessestreeter.com/Skevas Racing/JustJap for a new r34 rb gearbox or go a cd00# conversion. No point playing with unknown condition gearboxes.
    • Such a shame places like Amaroo Park have been redeveloped, smaller tracks always make for good racing. Cheers for sharing @PranK there's some good Lakeside video's too. Its so hard with older the cars as parts are so rare and everything was made for a particular chassis at that point in time. Even the V8 Supercar Blueprint era cars are all different between each chassis within a team as they learnt things and made improvements. The COTF cars between each Chassis builder is different too especially motor/oil systems/intakes. The Group A stuff is worth so much too especially chassis with good history. The only way to do it would be composite panels and similar engine drivelines to the original cars. Ford sierra running Focus RS driveline, Commodore running a short stroke LS/LT or a Falcon with coyote and a H Pattern dog box. Could use a standard ecu across all models with a Torque Map and DBW for parity which is not even used in Supercars currently. Hell a TCM is almost a full chassis car these days and the suspension is not even close to standard style in the front running cars.
