i still find the best way to bleed the things is on a hoist, wheels in the air. Bleed them at the nipple on the transfer while someone's in the car creating a "wheelspin" situation.... if you know what I mean?

i just unplug the bleed wire in the RH kick panel, and let the pump pulse with someone in the boot tipping

oil in, while i crack thre bleed nipple on the transfer

but then again most GTR transfer's need a good rebuild by this point in there life,

when we measured up my spare box it needed 90 thou worth of shim's to get it back

to almost factory spec..

We spent the last 3 days down in the area for our recce. Course looks very interesting, plenty of fast long corners :D

The dirt section between Jamieson and Big River seems to have been graded all the way through now and is fairly smooth with no holes etc... There is a lot of small, loose gravel on the top though which will bury themselves into our tyres.

How does everyone plan to clean out their tyres? We were thinking of taking an ice scraper style thing and a screw driver to clean as much as we can out of the tyres, that's if there is enough time before the start of the next stage.

Don't worry about it...It's exactly the same as the Pelverata Stage at TWP- straight off the stage and onto the gravel road, you will find all the rocks will clear themselves as soon as you get back on the tarmac.

We are leaving this Sunday, really looking forward to it!

I'm sure this has already been covered somewhere, but can anyone confirm the bowsers with 98 for Targa High Country? I"m going to sign up with race Fuels as a backup, but I'd like to fill from the bowser as much as possible.

The BP on the Mt Buller Rd in Mansfield has 98. We pass it Friday for prologue, Saturday morning after Mirimbah and Saturday arvo prior to Mt Buller...hope they have big tanks!!!

Sunday we're clean outta luck!

(oh and from memory the Caltex on the main st of Mansfield has Vortex 98 as well)

Hope that helps :P

What's the official/legal ruling on carrying fuel. I know we had the warning about being safe, but there was no clear cut definition of what is considered safe, and more to the point, what is legal.

The only ruling I can find is that there is a maximum of 250L allowed per passenger vehicle, but no definition on how it is to be carried.

Hope you're not contemplating working in control....or have the head games started already? :P

Ooooppppssss yeah won't be doing that *reads over regs again...

The Caltex at Eildon has 98 too, not sure how 'fresh' it would be though as it is not really the middle of anywhere...

Has anyone got the latest High Country GPS kmz file? The one I have is from Sep 21, and I can't seem to find the link for the file anymore.

I just emailed it to you.

    • I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must me missing something? 
    • BRUH, one of the biggest mistakes of my life..... and i've had plenty ;[)
    • @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.
    • Echo the awesome sentiment 👍 Definitely a car worth saving. Looking forward to seeing updates as well.
