Basically weighs nothing and has a v8 from memory

Yeah, the engine is basically "free" (its a kit car so you build it yourself) so most people opt for big American V8s.

I went through Kangaroo Valley yesterday. I did see some sick cars going down the Bulli Pass as I was going up after going through the Nasho, but I didn't go in to Wollongong itself.

That could have been my 34 if it had yellow issue plates, but it doesnt.. I hit the Nasho road for a cruise, covered about 50% in 40 mins.. Man thats slow.

Also spotted a silver 34 on my way back when I was at sutho.

I didnt pay anything to go through there on monday. Its usually $11 isnt it? There was a ranger that said just to go through.

Doubt they would even care. They only care about the people who go in and stop without paying and they get fined anyway. Awesome drive tho!

Definitely one of my favourite except the first weekend i got my skyline i was coming back to Sydney from Scarborough pub and was just at the start of the nasho drive and a couple of motorbikes came flying through the twisty part and one of them didn't roll their weight into the corner properly and obviously hadn't used his brakes enough and came straight across my lane :P and i braked as hard as i could without locking up but it just wasn't enough distance between us. I had to swerve at the last second and go into the other lane, which was the last thing i wanted to do cause i didn't know what was coming around the corner still.... pretty damn scary experience.

Girlfriend at the time was screaming her head off haha and i was about to get out of the car to yell some stuff in the guys ear on the bike but got convinced he probably was close to a break down already :(

It would make an unbelievable run if you could organise to have to closed off to public and have a good run but otherwise even if you are having a casual cruise It's a damn dangerous experience, especially with this nut cases on crutch rockets who go through there

I just drove through.. I didnt stop, wasnt directed to stop just went straight past the booth..

Never do it in the night lol

What are you? A pussy?

Dodging random wildlife all adds to the spice, as well as having no other cars on the road what so ever!

26mins from Bald Hill to Sutherland/Loftus end WITH from 1/4 way between waterfall to loftus end!

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
