Hey Albert I'm definitely in for this mate, though I think I'll be the one having clearance issues at the ferry. Got the new car registered today, just got to fix up some last little electronics, alarm, lights/indicators - LOL. :)

Will be good to see you again mate.

Yey! watch out for rabbits n shit ok :(

If you have a lowered car, or a front bar like mine with alot of overhang then you might have dramas... std front bar and height, no dramas!

ok

factory front bar goes back on on the day :down:

Ps Can someone post up a route for this drive, hopefully a map that highlights the route

that we gonna take :P

cheers!

every few months me and some friends go up to a place in the middle of nowhere and hire out a cabin for the weekend... its located between maroota and wisemans ferry on the hawksbury river. the roads out there are awesome..... theres a road called river road that is usually 1.5 lanes wide and is in good condition.... first night i went up there was about 8 months ago and i was driving up at 1am when it was raining..... gunning it around blind corners and all since i was the only car around and i doubt anyone lived out there let alone coppers... windy road to myself what would you do? anyway made it to my destination after sliding all over the road.... the next afternoon when i went home i took the same route back..... it was a clift drive along a river with nothing other than the occasional tree to stop me from falling in the river, luckily i didnt f**k up lol

but i recon we should do that drive one day in summer... from castle hill it will take about 3 hour drive round trip.... im not sure if theres more than one ferry that does the cars crossing on the hawksbury but on that road there is a car ferry so im wandering if its the same one you guys have been talking abour????

i'll organise the route if people are interested

lol yeah man sounds good, so for those guys with the low cars n shit, HARDEN THE F**K UP :woot:

yeap cruise will be on if the weather is happy, but worst case we can hide in maccas and sipping up slurrpy ;)

do you want to buy me a new bar????? :P nah jokes, should be good.

just follow me as per usual. ( depend how long or short of trip you want too)

berowra waters, is that where that sea food restaraunt is??? next to the water there?

i think i went there back in 2004

yeah, thats the one

forgot to say with choice 2 you have to cross another ferry at sackville which i think could be more dangerous than berowra ( again i think)

but all roads out there are fantastic it's just the way you want to go.

i like 2 the best aswell.... 1 is also pretty good,,,,, 3 is good but id rather do 1 or 2..... and if we cant get onto the ferry, we go back to pit town road and start the number 1 option???? or 3 depending how much time we got....

shane shane shane didn't you learn anything from "gone in 60 seconds"? You apparently do not need breaks to drive in the city/suburbia.... a good but silly movie at the same time

Sackville ferry is ok... never had a problem there... we have property on wisemans river there ;)

They updated it a little while ago with the hydraulic lifter thingys for the ferry... :(

make it a long cruise.

no speed cameras.

wollongong?

appin road brah!

oh, Choice two for me.

yo Anna, rekon i could get those brakes on by then?

Yep.. can do this weekend if you wants??? Just need to get them pretty red for you... so maybe we get them ready this weekend and install during the week???? Seeing you are nice and close and all!!!

Rears are still a couple of weeks away ;)

hahah no brakes for city/suburbia driving? NO PROBLEMS! get rid of speed cameras and traffic lights and all other traffic.

sweet Anna, ill just wait until the rears are ready so you can put them on together all at once!

How much to get them pretty red?

Haha. No way. In person these boys haven't got the balls to say the shit they post on here. 'Keyboard Warrior Syndrome' or KWS is what it's called. :laugh: Don't take any of it personal, they're just having a bit of fun because you seem to be cool with it. If it's pissing you off, just say so.

Hey!!! I like being a 5ft 4" 62kg Keyboard Warrior.... and i have the balls to say that!!!! ;)

If you're talking about the plush one owned by the Swiss dude that you can only get to by boat or sea plane - then yes, Berowra Waters is the place.

    • You're already well into "gearbox is a consumable" territory there. A billet plate will either make it (effectively) 1% stronbger or make it last one more pass. At some point you'll probably tear 3rd gear into small chunks and regret all the life decisions that came before it.
    • ..and forum.r31skylineclub has been down all week....anyone know why?
    • I thought it could be an issue because the standard plate was flexing when stressed. Maybe the original gear set will hold a bit better without flex? Last time on the dyno it made around 670nm at the hubs. Now it have bigger turbo and better intake but have not been on a dyno yet. The car is being used from family trips to drag race events. So the shifts can be a little violent. It is grinding if I shift to fast so was thinking I should overhaul it soon.
    • From the factory on RB26s there's a fitting on the intake manifold collector/"plenum" that provides pre-throttle boost signal. That's how they did it back in the day, I figure it's fine to replicate it.
    • I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre!   Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?
