Ive heard a lot of friends talk about this place not far from Richmond that they call Magnetic Mountain where you park your car on what looks to be a downhill slope, get out of it and the car will start rolling up towards you very slowly as if its being pulled toward you by a magnet, so myself, d0p3y and DJX thought we would go their lastnight to give it a go and its one of the trippiest things we had all ever experienced,

Theirs some crazy optical illusions at work here it genuinely looks like your car is rolling up a hill towards you like its being pulled by some massive magnet. So has anyone else here ever been their and if so what did you think of it? for those wanting to know how to get their just go to this link below:

Nah no pics or vids unfortunately it was too dark we were their at about 1am, its kind of hard to explain which part exactly it happens at but if your coming along Grose Vale Road you turn left onto Bowen Mountain Road and you will see an intersection about 50 - 100 metres up or so you go past this intersection and you will see the road start to slope downwards, go down this hill about 50m then turn around and face your car back in the direction you came from turn the car off and leave it in neutral then run back up the hill and if your in the right spot the car will slowly start to roll up the hill towards you gradually picking up more speed,

Just make sure you keep a lookout for any cars coming towards you and make sure someone stays in the car to jump on the brakes incase the car rolls off into a fence or something because your in the wrong spot.

Its about 40 - 50 mins from where I live (Mt Druitt area) It only takes you about 5 - 10 mins from Richmond or if your in Penrith you could probaly get their in about 25 minutes.

Directions

The Richmond Magnetic Hill is located on Bowen Mountain Road in the Township of Mountain Bowen, just east of Richmond. The hill is located at the Mountain Bowen Rd. and Westbury Road intersection. It only works for about 50 metres going uphill.

Directions from Sydney

From Sydney City, Take the Harbour Tunnel or Harbour Bridge, follow the Warringah Expressway straight through to Lane Cove, and follow through onto the M2 Motorway right to the end till the Blacktown Exit - Turn right onto Burns Road which follows onto Old Windsor Road, which runs into Windsor Road, turn right and it will take you right into Windsor. In Winsor make a right turn onto Winsor Richmond Road (40) and it will take you to Richmond. In Richmond 40 becomes Kurrajong Road. After crossing the Hawkesbury River in North Richmond turn left on Grove Vale Road. Then turn left on Bowen Mountain Road. The Magnetic hill is on Mountain Bowen Road as soon as you pass the intersection with Westbury Road

This post is uselss without Video

Well if its not good enough for you go make one yourself :(

Just yeah if anyone goes play around with it for a while to make sure your in the right spot etc coz if your on a different angle or something it can look completely different and not work so just try a few different areas first.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Yes I can see how that would put you off HFM, especially with the price of good quality brake fluid. From what I understand it as you say the BM50 is the standard BMC for a R32 GTR, I must admit I would like to go far a Genuine Nissan BM57, but lack of cash prevents that at present. With the price being so close between the genuine BM50 and BM57 a BM57 New it seems a better choice as you gain that 1/16 bore size with the BM57, I would be interested in how much difference you feel with the BM57 fitted. I am going to take SteveL's advice in the short term and see how much actually comes out of that proportioning valve vent and save up for the Genuine Nissan part. Thanks for clarifying the HFM failure

      Thanks mate. I just got the post inspection 1/2 done from state roads when the starter motor packed up, either that or the car alarm system is having trouble.  OEM part number 23300-AA112.

      Starter motor replacment teeth count.

      By oHBoy. · Posted

      Hi, I though I was coming to an end in finding a replacement starter motor for a rb25de neo. I came across a starter motor from Taarks and a message below stating: Direct fit. 11 Tooth count. All below part numbers have been superseded to 11 teeth. Can some body shed some light on going from 8 teeth to 11 teeth apart from 36-month / 25,000 km warranty for passenger vehicles to 12 Month Warranty. Compatible with the following Nissan part numbers: 23300-20P00 23300-20P01 23300-20P05 23300-20P10 23300-20P11 23300-AA111 23300-AA112 23300-AA300 23300-08U10 23300-08U11 23300-08U15

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      Low battery? Maybe check capacity? I know first-hand, on BMWs if your battery drops below 80% capacity, it starts causing strange issues.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      8.5 +37 = should fit rear, but I think it'll hit on front. What you want is low 30s/high 20's front, mid 30's rear. That 17" screenshot you posted looks good, I'd run it on my R32 (but that's long dead now). For tyre sizes, my rule of thumb is: 8': 235, 9": 255. But that's just my opinion. Nismo sizes: 18x8.5+35/18x9.5+38 is a good starting point.
