Hi all

In Sydney this week. It's sunny. Will go through all PMs and orders when I return on Thurs. Using dialup at the moment - a world of suck.

Oh yeah...

Hume run in a GTR is mostly great. Melb to Aulbury is fantastic. Aulbury to Gundagai sucks. Gundagai to Sydney is wonderful. Some bumps are not designed for hard suspension, and Sydney speedhumps are too high. My nice new front lip is looking a bit battered ;)

Experienced the HICAS sleep-mode. Sat happliy on 120 (speedo) and didn't get pinged once. Exhaust drone is fine. Premium fuel is readily available - but only getting 400-450 to a tank.

Have a fun week ;)

Albury - Gundagai is that beyatch of a road that narrows down to 1 lane each way... god I hate that bit.

I reckon Melb - Albury is the bestest road in melb. Even more fun when you're being chased by a copper in a GTO ;)

Sounds good :(

I am cruising up through there next week, also going on to coffs harbour and then brisbane, after sydney. Unfortunately I am not going in my car. Taking 2 work cars ~ free fuelage :P

Will be good to checkout these roads in a 'normal-comfy- car first perhaps. Then do the trip again with my car ;)

Drove my car to Canberra, for the summernats (entrant). Early january, with no aircon (wolf 3d bug, know fixed :P), windows open, and no stereo as it was useless due to wind and exhaust noises.

The drive was still pleasant, and not too harsh.

Karina - got it - thanks

slywpn - only just got back from Sydney. Have replied now :)

Everyone who hasn't paid... I need to get payment from you BEFORE I pick up the shirts. This is simply for cashflow reasons. I can meet people on Monday and/or Tuesday night (I need to go out to BMT on Monday - so can meet me there) or we can arrange somewhere for Tuesday. Ilive/work pretty close to the city.

If you are only able to pay when you receive the goods - is fine. You can come with me to pick up the shirts. I just don't want to be left quite out of pocket like last time.

EFT is still the best way to pay. Embrace technology :P

I have updated the payment chart too:

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
