the place we stopped is the famous, spooky gravity hill. You stop on the road, put your car in neutral... and it rolls up the hill. Twighlight zone!

Is this for real or u just pulling my legs...? If it's real I gotta check it out...

To those with autos, make sure you're in neutral, not crawling in drive... LOL

Cheers,

Would love to come but unfortunately my car won't be ready in time...

Should be ready in 3 weeks (waiting for parts from Japan), so Ash, James, Andrew, hurry up and organise one for early May!!!!!

Will be there for sure,

I live in gisborne which is about 10 - 15 min drive from macedon, and i can tell u some of the roads around here are quite nice.

Now which way will heading up (calder i guess) so does somebody wanna give me a call when u guys are getting close to gisborne and i'll join u guys from there?

Or i could meet u at macedon, are we going to the cross? cause i could meet u there.

I hope u guys included the hairpins :O

it will be real - its an optical illusion... the surroundings make it look like the road goes up, but it wll actually be going down - bring a sprit level if you don't belive me :O

on another note - is there any meetups in s.e suburbs for this cruise? if not we should organise one

Baileylsd - we are coming back via the caulder and the cross is one of the last port of calls. So maybe just come to the start meet point on the ring road or else come to our lunch spot at the town of Marmsbery (I think thats the right name! lol)

Ferni - South east meet point is Megamart Car Park on Warrigal Rd. However, I will be cruising up westall rd toward the fwy so if people want to meet out the front of Evolution R or something before cruising up to magamart then Im cool to do that.

Also - for all those SE people NOT wanting to use city link please meet at the ring road Mobil.

Either its an optical illusion or James owns the world's rarest R33 Auto GTR and he had it in drive. I vote for option two with a splashing of chartreuse.

Rianto bring a bottle of water so you can tip it on the road and see which way it runs

Good idea, but if car rolls uphill, so can water flows uphill... defying gravity.

Isn't that the whole idea?

I was told it was optical illusion - the way the tree grows... maybe get a water level from hardware store to prove it :-P

    • You have the option to do this. Nobody but me ever did this (go slower, I mean) Everyone seems to fall victim to "This would be a great setup for you, but for me, I need a little more power..."
    • Save yourself the headache of an alarm. Immobilizer on the signal side of the main EFI relays so it won't start is good enough. DIY killswitch is the same thing except instead of a nice passive system you need to remember to switch it on and off.
    • Yeah, the advent of canbus was supposed to cut down on wiring weight, then some bright marketing wonk says "oh, look at all these wonderful tech gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some arsehole safety legislator says "oh, look at all the wonderful surveillance and tracking gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some dipshit young engineer who has grown up thinking that an extra 500000 lines of code is not a problem because storage is cheap these days says "oh look at all this wonderful shit I can do to one up those dipshit arsholes over at VW" and the Karens of the world all go "oh look at all these fancy things I can do on my screen (so long as I am not driving on a bumpy road wherein touch screens immediately become the single most stupid shit idea ever shoveled into a car) and my 19 zone airconditioning keeps my sweaty fat folds a bit less damp and the windows close themselves because I'm too fat and lazy to wind them up for myself and these reversing sensors would have been great if I'd paid attention to them instead of smashing them on the bollard while I was reversing and staring fixedly forward that day I went to pick up little Charlize from ballet" and the sweaty mongoloids who say "oh this wonderful collision avoidance technology with these 45 excellent radar antennae scattered across the front of my car mean I can tailgate like a methed up tradie at full speed with no fear because the car and the 35 airbags will protect me if it all goes wrong" ...... </shallistopranting?>
    • There's a post from a member (can't recall who), went down the path of a twin scroll G30-660 and it's doing over 300kW+ AND comes on about the same as a high flow RB25DET turbo. Have your cake and eat it too in this case. TBH, if I had a 2nd chance of building my car again (i.e. someone gave me what I wanted for my shit box, but the deal was I had to re-build another R33 and keep the change) I would just pop in a stock NEO motor (with new seals, rod bearings, ARP studs, head gasket, sump, Nitto pump), get a smaller twin scroll turbo, modify the stock low mount (keep the divider in place), and make a solid 300kW on 98RON and call it a day.
