I'm pumped!! Who is willing to start a thread in the NSW events section to stir them up and let them know we're coming to own them???

I checked to see if there was a thread but couldn't find anything, and I'm sure last year there was a SAU VIC vs SAU NSW talk up thread...

I reckon we get Troy to start the thread, after all he belongs there doesn't he???

Be good to meet some of the NSW crew....

:down: dont worry we know you guys are coming!!

Make sure you start 7 different threads in all of their sections repeating yourself !

Aww LOL

Cant wait to see you guys and catch up going to be great!!

Will be nice to meet a few more new peeps that I havent met before :)

Hoping to be racing with you guys at wakie but if not will come down to say hi :)

After talking to Troy 2 weeks ago, I have been giving some thought to the trip up there. I don't have Monday off, just Wed, Thurs, Fri but am keen to make the most of Tues.

My suggestion, we drive up Tues as originally planned but on Wednesday we take a trip up to Bathurst for the day (looks to be approx 1.5 hours max each way from Wakefield). This is somewhere I have never been but would like to and as ex cosworth owner, it holds particular significance for me as I am sure it does with many skyline owners. Would anyone be interested in that on the Wednesday? >_<

On whereis.com.au if you type in goulburn to bathurst its a 3hr40min trip >_<

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news

My Steve Parish atlas and ruler weren't overly acurate it seems! If thats the case, probably an idea to pass on it :laughing-smiley-014:

lol!

When you guys come up next year make it in December, then you can come to the bathurst sprint/hillclimb :)

Ok, my shell is being dropped at the workshop on saturday, conrods are being delivered any day now (shouldve been thursday), ive even got someone ready to run it in for me cause i dont have the time to do it due of work

So im doing the best possible to get it to EC :laugh:

Hey all,

Because its a hidiously busy time at one of my works at the moment, i may be required back in melbourne for saturday. which is going to mean a long hall drive friday night. Just wondering if there is anyone who might be just coming along for the trip and might be interested in sharing some driving back to melbourne if this has to happen? Im sure some payment in beers can be arranged :P

Cheers

Camden

I haven't applied for leave yet. I probably should go do that hey.

Also - not sure on the status of High Tower and Aaron anymore. I think Aaron is making a decision after this weekend. And High Tower needs to sort his turbo issues first I'm sure.

    • I am getting the same issue. Did you resolve it? I just got it after installing my new super coppermix and literally the same issue, new fork, new 18mm carrier, release bearing that came with the kit and replicated the exact same sound. 
    • If you like - I have the STL files so I can email em. There's a couple of gotchas (i.e the holes are not threaded so you might need/will need) to utilize some M3 melt-in threads for some of the points. However if you want to be super accurate, and are willing to remove your calipers and your SHOCKS it's a really good tool. You also might need to scale the part that measures the tyre width a bit wider. It defaults to a 7.5in tyre and I mean who is running that. Luckily with the magic of CAD this is very easy to rescale.
    • jeebus. glad you weren't under it while performing the stunt. Also thanks for the link to the wheel measurer, exactly what I needed
    • In the older stuff there were very significant differences 2wd to 4wd, for example Stagea had strut front end for 2wd and double wishbone for 4wd so it was not minor to swap. From poking around the 2wd v37, it *looks* like it might be more possible; some of the parts specifically have "2wd" stamped on them which suggests the platforms are more similar. You'd still want to start with a 4wd half cut to swap stuff from though. I'd suggest if you don't have a tune on the ECU you don't really need one on the trans either. Throttle mapping is in the ECU side (and you can always use a Roar Pedal if you want the throttle to actually respond to your foot), and really if you are happy with the stock power you probably accept the stock trans behaviour too....its all made to be "sporty" not racey.
    • So, updates. I have not washed the car since it came back from Tassie. I've driven it around a bit but not got around to actually sorting it out. I DID raise it because I cracked the rear bar leaving a hotel which was very distressing. Interestingly, the car drives more compliant now that it's raised a fair bit (5mm front, 15mm rear). Also noticed that my FR height was 10mm lower than FL. So that's now sorted out, too. I also bought this and had it printed: https://www.etsy.com/au/listing/1576422240/wheel-and-tire-fitment-tool-universal?ref=shop_home_feat_1&dd=1&logging_key=08f604d9fa4cc383550ba985e6ac85cd5cac7fbb%3A1576422240 Now, if I was smart I would have taken my brake calipers off to actually use this correctly but it was evident enough to me that in the region where the caliper was... there was nothing to hit suspension/guard/arm wise. So I'm going with "it'll be fine" after using the tool to hopefully very precisely measure the wheel clearance. Also while doing this, I had the very VERY bad idea of jacking one of the wheels/suspension arms up while the rest of the car was on jack stands. I did this to see how the arm would travel. This all was well and good until the car slid off the stands and went through a fence. So don't do that. Incredibly nobody was hurt and there was only minor damage to the rear bumper as the car didn't have far to slide, and had 3-4 wheels on it. The only damage turned out to be the fence itself which was easy to fix, and a little bit of damage to the fibreglass rear bumper trim. I had already planned to try a touch up paint kit to fix the time I drove into my garage door to see if it'd help in the interim before I get it fixed properly. I used the Dr Colorchip kit after looking online and seeing everyone talking about it. Yes it's made for chips and not huge broken missing pieces and I'll be 500% recommending it for stone chips after using it for stupid things like me. This took about ... 10 minutes and looking at the half assed photo the 30 second job I did on the bumper corner was almost perfect just by using the tiny little brush and painting it in. The sealact stuff to remove over-painting is really useful, so if/when I do it again I'll likely slather the touch up paint well over it and then clean it up with the cleaning solution. The wheels should arrive in a couple of weeks. I am still kinda confident after doing a stupid amount of measuring (and borrowing a set of 18x10.5+15) that they will not fit because I overlooked something, somehow and flew too close to the sun. ALSO R34 GTR guard liners do not fit on a GTT. I bought the undertray brake duct guides and had the wonderful problem of them not fitting my intake, my oil cooler and the liners themselves were even worse. Attempting to fit them won't work in general - You would have to cut them up as another poster mentioned as the bodywork is different on the GTT. At least I can try to resell them. So instead of cutting those up, I cut up my old already-cut-up GTT liners and extended them by using some PP plastic and drilling some 8mm holes for some nissan clips for the 'extra' bit. Because I was happy to cut them I was able to mount them pretty damn forward so I now have some semblance of guard liners, and the brake vents seal the bumper from the bottom. It sort-of-looks like this, to give some idea - If you look at the GTR and then the GTT this is when I realised that I needed to seriously measure as the inside of the rim area is entirely, entirely, entirely different and could not take any internet measurements for granted.
