Here's a crappy picture of my car

IMAG0560.jpg

Possible to leave earlier for the cruise to Bathurst? Only because by the time we get there, we'll miss almost half the race :(.

I was thinking the same, Would be disappointing to get their and find the R35's crashed :wacko: or broken down and don't get to see it...

Yes so watch out :woot:

OooooK. Now I understand!

So, 40 years ago in the classroom,...

Teacher:- Now Brian, we have kids who want to be nurses, bankers, salesmen, doctors etc. We all want to know what you want to be when you grow up?

Brian:- I want to go into car insurance assessment

Teacher:- So is that why you smash your car into Sarah's tricycle each recess?

Brian:- I only want to see what can be fixed when her wheels fall off. Besides, when I'm older, I'll have bigger cars, I'll see bigger smashes - AND I GET PAID FOR IT :woot:

I wasn't around 40 years ago Terry or I have lost 8 years that I don't know about :woot:

On the web site the official cruise starts a 6am? I'm not fussed what time we leave as long its before 7ish & someone with a bull bar can lead the way don't want Skippy finding the front of the GTR

I'm a newbie to the Skyline scene, but my association with the Mountain and bikes goes back to the early '60's. I now have a 350GT; my recent intro post can be found in the newbie's thread of the V35's. I guess not the "real thing" as far as Skylines go - hey it's an oldies cruiser and an oldie I am. Just thought I'd sus out the interest in this event on this site, and am suprised there is presently so little??

My plan is to drive up on Frid and camp. However, I'm being a bit of a wuss and watching the forecasts. Hopefully there will still be a camp spot available early Mon when the 7 day forecast is revealed, and is hopefully found to be suitable. Seems to be warming up on Frid at this stage. My desire could wane if it's forecast to be in the high 30's+ on Sunday.

Can't speak from first hand experience, it may not be news, and not even applicable to this event, but I've heard that it can take hrs waiting to get through the gates into the V8's, as a consequence of the security checking and the numbers involved

cruise details will be up tomorrow but the jist is the follows.

Meetup Penrith Panthers carpark (next to McDonalds) on Mulgoa Road, Penrith

Meetup at 4:30am to coffee up and say hi etc

Depending on if we need a stop halfway we will stop for 15 mins at Blackheath or Lithgow to stretch legs and bathroom

Leave 5am sharp and head up Great Western Hwy Just past Lithgow then jumping into Batshurst after 2hrs of hopefully no traffic

then ill lead everyone into the designated parking spots and we can all go get setup opposite pit straight and enjoy the festivities

    • I ❤️ Matty I would like to thank Matty for going out his way in securing me a OEM NC detachable hard top for the NC Matty, your worth your weight in gold, and I cannot say how much I really appreciate your outstanding help I'll get it colour matched once I pick it up sometime in Dec-Jan 😁  
    • We have some genuine Japanese legally decommissioned car number plates now in stock 🙂 Add some legitimately obtained JDM style to your Skyline or other Japanese model, or simply as a garage/man cave decoration! About the 40mm hole: The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure & Transport in Japan recognised the popularity of keeping decommissioned plates among car enthusiasts and came up with a method to "destroy" (or render them unusable for street use) while still retaining their collectable/usable value for display etc.  We have 40mm hole covers available to cover the hole nicely with a Sakura motif, which are also available in white in (very!) limited quantities, however they frequently sell out. Please let me know if you're wanting one or more of these and I'll check availability. The Sakura motif covers are more common. https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-decommissioned-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-set-su-7515 https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-decommissioned-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-set https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-400mm-hole-cover *Please note that we can't obtain particular number or area name (eg: "Gunma 500 Fu ・86") if requested. All plates are provided as they become available after decommissioning. 
    • Ah, fair enough. For the IAT, I'm using a legit GM sensor that was used on the car prior to my current build. I'll get another wideband and IAT ordered and follow up when they show up. Thanks for the help.
    • You shouldn't need to massively fatten up the mixtures for cold conditions. For one thing - 0°C is not that cold. For another, the Haltech will be using the IAT sensor to tell it how dense the air air, and calculate the correct amount of fuelling. Then the cold start enrichment is added as a % on top of that, so it should scale with the main fuelling. You might also doubt the IAT sensor at this time. You're not using one from an RB26 are you? Using a nice Bosch sensor or similar? Happens. Some wideband units take great pleasure in killing their sensors. Put another wideband in the tailpipe and compare. Or just swap the sensor to a brand new one and see.
    • Oh, my misunderstand. When the car was running, it sounded ok, but if I gave it any gas it wanted to die but caught itself afterwards. It's very different from how it was a couple months ago when it was warmer outside. The logs show that the AFRs are better during, what I assume, is warmup enrichment. Because it's cold, and air is more dense, should I work on the enrichment bit?
