There is a very good chance we can make it, my other hald and my little boy. My 260 might not look so good in the photos this cruise around, some nasty deep puddles took care of the lip on my front bar and some lady in the Woolies carpark has made a mess of my rear bar. On the plus side there is more air going through my intercooler now LOL

It was a good turn out...wish I brought my mate with me so he could take some photos whilst we were cruising.

I lost the group on the afternoon drive (after we stopped and two cars left)....but nevertheless it was a great drive

Hope to do it again soon

Yeah sorry to bail like that. I was loving the Spur but was getting low on fuel and it looked like Scotty was headed all the way to Marysville.

Laura had a ball on the spur and made a video of the back of Scotts wagon on her I phone. Was braking late to catch him on the corners but when he hit the straight and opened the throttle it was like he unleashed hell. The way that thing takes off is incredible. Now I have to get some power mods after seeing what can be achieved.

Scotty, I hope you had the Go Pro HD camera mounted on the dash. Post up some video if you did.

Pictures please people.

Nah mate, no gopro today. :P

We went to Marysville but it seemed a few cars dropped off, probably fuel related, although the ethanol car outlasted you all. haha.

After Marysville we headed down Reefton spur, hardly any traffic and had a blast getting chased by 2 M35's. Perfect day, thanks guys for turning up, it was a great turnout.

OK, so I got some pics before we started out. Nothing special, I'm used to being in a studio and it's a new camera so whatever.

Would have hot some drive shots too but not keen on $7K worth of camera gear being flung around the spur......

    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
    • Should have taken that opportunity to slot in a twin scroll turbo setup. Maybe next time.
