Went for a bit of a Mountain Run on Mt Nebo with 46n2 last night. Not a bad stretch of road, some nice challenging sections, might have to make an appearance at the next Mad mountain run. Looks like heaps of fun. Any other recommendations for places for a good mountain run?

Nebo has a much better surface than tambo. Some of the gold coast hinterland mentioned above is good also. Go to the end of Nebo and turn right....long open road.

Sunshine coast - maleny, connondale etc also good.

There is a BIG Mountain Cruise coming up. Keep an eye out.

Micheal - New sway bar and new tyres, very impressive, not to mention the full service. What rubber did you end up going for? Don't know about this weekend, I have an assignment due Monday which I still haven't started, and Saturday is already a write off.

There is a road, I can't quite remember, out past Woodforde that cuts back through Mt Mee and ends up near Samford I think. It was very tight. Dad used to take me up there in the mini when I was learning to drive. Gotta love dad's style, learning to drive mountain run style!

I probably have been up to Mt Glorious, in fact I am sure of it, it just so long ago I can't remember the road.

Grandparent live in Lismore, there used to be lots of great mountain runs around there but most of those roads have been upgraded since then with all of those bypasses and stuff.

Mt. Nebo / Mt. Glorious is probably the best in QLD. Go on a Sunday and race all the bikes. I went when I had the line with a mate in his 180, a supra and a s13 and we raced these two bikes. Got to the top and stopped for a drink and they came up and couldn't get over how well we had done....very cool spot but you gotta be fast not sideways cause if you hold up the bikes they get ticked...I love the big signs at the bottom that have a pic of a bike and the words "Speeding has killed on this section of road"

One of the best bits of the mountain is a section down to the left (north) of the main road when you come from the Toowoomba side, its about half way along. It is VERY steep and great for drift as no other cars use it much. Go in the wet, the bikes aren't there and you can get all sideways, just remember that there aren't always guardrails to stop you so be carefull on un guarded corners :P

    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
    • Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...
    • No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.
    • You can temporarily* use lock collars to keep it in place until you can do the bushes, back the nuts off, slide them in, snug back up. *temporarily is often for ever
