I am organising a 4pm run up from my place in Port Melbourne.

I will see how much interest this gets but know of at least 3 people who are happy to come up who know where I live.

If you are interested in a 4pm departure from Port Melbourne which would equate to an approximately 4.30pm from Donnybrook Shell servo, let me know.

Details for a 4pm cruise up from the city

Shell Todd Rd, inbound

So far we have:

Khunjeng

Darren83

GTIRR

Me

If anyone wants to tag along from Donnybrook Shell, I estimate to be passing it no later than 4.45pm so suggestion would be for a 4.30pm meet time there for anyone else.

Anyone else interested, let me know. There will be other trips up but we fancy getting up there by 7pm ish.

Below are the details for the cruise up at 7.30pm on Friday night:

Where: Shell Roadhouse, Hume Hwy Donnybrook VIC 3064 (Melway 365 C5)

Meet Time: 7.30pm

FYI the NSW crew will be leaving Sydney at 10am, so we should arrive around the same time as you guys :)

:(

We leave Melb about 4pm, not arrive in Shepp by 4pm. You should be in Shep by 4-5pm the latest, see you at 7-8pm :)

Wayne, you have already lost the race :)

After a little more rational thinking in the light of day, lets say the Todd Rd Services city bound (i.e NOT the one on the side before you hit the Westgate but the one you go into as soon as you come over the Westgate. There are several ways into it without going over the Westgate but it at least puts us at the bottom of the ramp up to the Tulla.

4pm for a 4.15 departure there :)

    • Thanks for the linkie. Certainly always a great deal of help when people post comparisons like these, but I think for now I'll stay away from any semi slicks. I did go ahead and order the sportcontact 7. My buddy has them on his modified A4 and he keeps saying how good they are. For my intended purposes these will probably work real well. I'll report on them once I had the chance to try them out
    • Talk about noisy. Even when I still had the Tomei under the car I could distinctly hear the tires rolling. And I doubt I ever will need maximum grip like on a track. My GTR will maybe never even see the 600hp mark and I need to get used to the car quite a bit before challenging the limits of its handling. For the next winter storage I think I will get a set of these rubber drive-on thingies that have a tire shaped base. Those supposedly really help prevent flat spots.
    • Well our climate is definitely way less hot overall and the weather can be quite picky at times. I just know that during normal road use or even spirited drives there is no way I'd be able to consistently stay in the operating temperature, and constantly changing the tire pressure would also be a royal pain.
    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
