Wooo! Thanks Duncan. Still can't believe we did it. Managed 6th outright too which I'm amazed with. I'll post up some videos tomorrow. Time to party now...

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.

      SAU NSW - R U OK? Southern Highlands Cruise

      By Matt Z · Posted

      Our Southern Highlands Cruise is proudly registered with “R U OK?” Day.  Sometimes the best way to check in on your mates is by getting out for a drive together. Sharing a common passion like cars creates the perfect space to chat, connect, and support each other.  A simple “R U OK?” can make all the difference. Let's enjoy the drive, the company, and look out for one another. PLEASE WEAR YELLOW FOR “R U OK?” DAY Sunday 14th September 2025 9:30AM Meeting Crossroads Homemaker Centre 10:00AM Cruise Departure Via Old Hume Hwy 11:45AM Arrival at Mittagong RSL Club Meet Location: Crossroads Homemaker Centre Final Destination: Mittagong RSL Club *Disclaimer* There will be a lead and follow car so no one should get lost. If you would like to attend or bring others along please put your name down and a +1 as numbers will be needed prior! This is NOT a race and we will all be adhering to all road rules. If this is what you want please come to one of our many track days. This is an official SAU:NSW event and will be run under a CAMS permit. One of the things that really sets our club apart is our commitment to being true enthusiasts. When on normal roads we strive to maintain good relations with the authorities as well as the public in general. When attending one of Skylines Australia NSW events please try to: • Be aware of surrounding environment and act accordingly. • Drive courteously on the state’s roads as a true enthusiast should. • Understand how important it is to maintain the good name of SAU NSW and thus, treat others accordingly. • Any misbehavior will not be tolerated and you will be asked to leave.

      Nice shot! They look super clean. The roof rack delete on the black one is interesting. Would like to see more pictures from different angles. It's subtle but could make quite a difference to how the car looks in profile.
