Lol yeah well you are now driving a steam roller :blink:

The really twisty bit between Buckets Way and home was good BUT a lot of crap roads for that small patch of fun!

hahaha yep.

have you driven from dungog to stroud? stroud hill road i think, there is a really twisty bit, plenty of hair pins.. crap roads eaither side but that section is fun. and the stretch from gresford to dungog is also pretty good, again a few real tight bits which is really fun, but crap roads either side again.

the good thing on a bike is the road dont need to be quite as good to have alot of fun on them, especially when your learning!

haha the wide body does look sick but bit un-nessesary for me atm hah. 200kw isnt that hard to control.

Its an Evo, point and shoot ;)

Yep that is the road i meant! Carmen to a screeshot of the GPS and its just a spaghetti road!

It was fun in the 34 but was still a bit bumpy as the front would bottom out under hard braking and cornering! (Of course doing the speed limit the whole time)

need to get a bike then? ha

Hmmm...

Too Complimentary :P

haha that looks mad!

i dont see a problem?...

:laugh:

Nah, my sister was always trying to get me on a bike but she does enough damage for both of us, not sure if you saw but it looks like she wrote off the ZX10r finally...... well.......again!

did see something like that on fb... not good.

she must go pretty hard?

Keep it clean! Its my sister you are talking about :domokun: lolz

But on a bike she has no fear! :no:

Just got back from the 11 hour drive getting the car.

It has a sticky fuel gauge so we played it safe and refueled every 200km's. To my surprise with highway driving + a bit of stop start in Sydney it managed about 9-10l/100ks...

Is it just me or is that pretty awesome for a car with 330rwkw. We punched it a few times here and there as well but mostly just cruising.

Where did you pick that up from?

330rwkw sounds like itd be a good kick in the pants!

Got it from Junee mate and I have driven it up to Port Macquarie to be stored at my Parents house for the time being.

I am pretty stoked on it, its in very good nic with the only issues being a couple oil leaks (cam cover seals and what I believe to be the oil drain pipe off the turbo). Will be getting onto those when I can.

I also came across another strange occurence with the car just now when I was down in the garage admiring my purchase haha. I made a thread here if anyone wants to have a look and offer any info/advice.

Also while Im at it, is it safe if I degrease / use a gurni on my engine bay? I just want to degrease it the best I can so I can spot exactly where these leaks are coming from. Whats the best method

Edited by Bennis

people do gurni but you can try to avoid electrics all you like and you may still f**k something haha,

I pressure pack degreaser things if im looking for a leak etc then run it to see where it leaks from, more direct and safer.

as far as cleaning I think people armorall the engine bay? spray on wipe off.
gurni could chips paint on engine covers or paint in engine bay so id play it safe and do It the hard way :)

    • It only looks tidy, as most of the stuff that was on the whole back wall, is now in the trailer to go to the tip, or has been shoved in my 2.2x2.4m "Spare parts room", and now I can't get to anything in there Ha ha ha I could definitely do with a bit more space, but I'd just end up with your problems I'm going to enclose the car port beside the garage, and move a lot of stuff into it I think. OR... It will be setup as a fabrication area, and the main garage will have parts storage in it. I'm not sure yet... Need some pictures of that big shed you've got with the bikes and Skyline in
    • No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.
    • Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.
    • @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣
    • Modern oils are amazing. Add tyres to that as well.
