Nice road!! I will have to do that whole one again another time!! Had a great run back with a guy in a Citreon big sedan but he wasn't shy in pushing it around!! Got back to the Gap in 12 minutes!! Brakes were good but very hot and the tyres were great.

I recommend that Cafe!! Great Iced Chocolate!!

The guys who own the place liked my shirt too!!

Gotta start a T-shirt business!!

Yeah thanks for coming along guys, muchly appreciated! Even the weather stayed nice for us, stopping at the Fernvale Bakery (ooh I forgot the bakery was there... honest... oh well while I'm here... :O ) and chatting for a while topped off what was already a great day.

I love those roads, you can go quickly enough around the corners to get the suspension working and actually enjoy the drive, all without doing anything dangerous and/or illegal. Shame about the extremely dodgy roadworks - wet tar and gravel anyone? - but once past we had a really nice run, we didn't get held up by anyone going 40km/h below the limit and riding their brakes either... until we got onto the highway and got caught behind a granny doing 60 in a 100 zone. In a Skyline, believe it or not. Oh the irony :mad:

Thanks again to those who attended, and a special thanks to our Byron representative for making the effort to come along :)

Yes, well you missed a great outing, good weather, good company, good roads (except for the tar/graveled bit) little traffic and good conversation, I dont think Marc could of fitted another appleturnover in but maybe if he was forced to lol.

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
