hey all

i got a mate who is a member of ausrotary.com and is going to organise a weekend in mansfield and do a few runs up and down Mt Buller over a weekend. Its about 2-2.5 hours from melb. Would there be many guys from SAU that would be interested in spending a weekend in the hills? The drive up is mad fun and once up the top there are massive empty carparks to have some fun in without cop hastles....

would be some traffic but it is minimal, mabie 2-3 cars cummin down wen headin up on average.

Just thought i would post up on here and see if its worth organising a few skylines!?

cheers guys

do you mean, that this will be a proper event.. with closed roads and the like?

I'm not really interested in losing my license or killing innocent people while they're going on a nice country drive....

too dangers... :O

just spoke to mate then and apparently we can get the road closed if we get enough people to it, i would be suprised but will find out for sure. he has booked a joint to eat and drink up there, big pizza shop with bar etc..... looks like it will be the second weekend in january.... noone else interested?

I'm quite interested, but only if the road gets closed off. I am also not too keen on losing license, and/or killing/injuring/scaring the crap out innocent drivers.

Great roads up there. I did a few buller runs in mid January earlier this year with a few mates on motorbikes, but there is more traffic than expected (well, than i expected anyway).

Fun road to drive. Went up fairly quickly - didn't speed (except for once - to get past a bus). Some corners a waaaaay too sharp to race through if the road isn't closed.

As I'm sure anyone who has done some driving on alpine / mountain roads will be able to tell you - some drivers are scary.

Post back if (when?) you manage to get the road closed. Till then, I don't want to kill someone (or myself) by crashing or swerving, losing traction and going over the 'hey - its a long way down' edge.

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
