Post GOR Casualties....

[JET-33]

keep a very close eye on it..dont risk anything

u dont want a minor thing getting very $$$

[Wardest]

I'm not giving and potential problems the chance to show up. My car is booked in for a service on Saturday.

[Jamezilla]

I suffered the same as Rob - two nice down-to-the-metal scratches thanks to that Falcon ute. Poop.

[DJ_L3ThAL]

fark, seems u guys copped a fair bit of skin damage there , i feel for yas, join my club of 'ugly panels'

[Flynnn]

Knock on wood, nothing happened to me thank God.... Might have 1 or 2 chips on the bonnet but nothing major.. I was giving it to my car, in about 60% of the time i was in 3rd gear and 40% of the time in 2nd reving it up to 6000rpm on the GOR! The car seemed to love it and i didnt hesitate! :burnout:

On the way back it was fulll throtle, though suspensions are gay and the car feels like a boat when i do about 150-180km/h, sounds like my 2nd upgrade is going to be the suspension, then brakes upgrade to Brembo's!

i hope nothing is majorly wrong with my car...?

[R31Nismoid]

Nothing like a good GOR run and back through th Otways to see if your car is upto scratch

mmm... some casualties indeed this time.

last time virtually no-one had after effects.

hopem it doesn't turn you guys off another GOR in the future.

[predator]

well thing of it this way.. if the problems were there and they surfaced there, at least u guys know about them now

ur car seemed to go pretty well though max for a stocky, i don't think it can be anything *too* major?? it wasn't lacking power or anything going up those curves and things but i'd get a comp test just to be sure.

Monday morning to work (the day after) the car drives really sucks..... Gerald advised me to drive it gently, as I do now. It really like someone having a bad hangover the next morning...

Tuesday, oil level back up again, I can reach almost 6 when driving and above 2 when idle. Today is low again. Driving it gently feels fine, quite good actually, but not when the boost comes up, then all the flat spots are back laughing at you. Nothing I can do except just back it off and drive gently again.

Good for my fuel consumption though...

true that, it didn't seem to struggle too much, but the misses have became more and more noticeable... i normally drive off boost anyway but yesterday i pushed it a very little bit against a clubsport and i felt like it dropped about 500 rpms at about 3500, so i backed off (and he thought he was king shit)...

and today, once warmed up, my oil pressure hardly passed 2kg/cm2!!!

anywho, tomorrow morning will give me an indication of whats going on in the RB.. hopefully nothing too serious

[rs73]

R31Nismoid....

Dun think anyone's gonna be turned off GOR next time, despite the casualties.

The pain is worth the joy you're getting in return... heheheheh

[MaXiMuS007]

yeah i'm definitely up for another run, next time i'd know a bit better how much i can push and i'd make sure my car was 110% before hand

[R31Nismoid]

AAhh...

that's all good then... soon... (2-3 months) i'll do another... but i think a different route is in order.

New roads not even I have been down before

Maybe out Colac way, more otway fun.

But hhmm... it is a good test for the car and it's limits/condition.

no doubt about that.

[rs73]

Anyway but not the kingslake-healesville route.. went there once and the road condition was so terrible in the mountains, I think it'll destroy all your shocks. Very twisty though, for those who likes it but not much view and road is only 1-1/2 lane width which means if a large car comes from different direction you could scrape them.

[skylineakt]

Like you said R31, it is good to know what the limit of the car is and what's wrong with it if pushed hard.

I'll go for another cruise again, no probs hehe

My oil pressure seem to be find now and is it sitting at 2 when idling and 4 when cruising. Will still keep an eye on it, but it seem to drive fine.

[MaXiMuS007]

at least someones ok

[DJ_L3ThAL]

my oil pressure sits just under 4 when idlinh and when cruising just under 6, i believe this is the normal reading from what i have seen/been told, you better still check everything out to be safe

[YogiR33]

not really a problem from the cruise but my odometer is stuck between 119k and 120k grrrrr jus proves that my clock was wound back !!! and even my counter is not workin !!! hmmm mite be an excuse to go get a Nismo 300kph speedo !

[MaXiMuS007]

dropped off my car to ice this morning, my oil pressure was normal all morning?? (2 at idle, 4 at accel), but it's getting looked at it anyway.

oh and what i thought is missing... gerald says its just my clutch on its way out (good to know but bad for $$$)

hopefully he doesn't call me back with more problems

[MaXiMuS007]

Good News!!! Gerald has given my car a clean bill of health, said he couldn't find anything wrong with my oil pressure so its probably just the gauge acting up a bit.

My clutch is slipping a bit but only in higher gears at higher accel so it *should* last until i can afford to replace it.

In fact, the dodgiest thing about my car is the weird exhaust, that i will try to replace ASAP.
