Well Bulahdelah may not have a round of the NSW Hillclimb Championships this year but thats not stopping them letting us have some crazy fun on one of the best bits of road in Skippy land.

The 2008 Bulahdelah Speed Weekend is on the 20th and 21st of Sept with a Show and Shine on the Saturday for race cars/displays/market stalls/food and Driver fun on the Sunday.

If there's a piece of road more suited to hillclimbing than Wooton Way it could only be Bathurst's Mountain Climb.

I'd like to see a whole bunch of Skylines gridding up.

Neil.

sounds brilliant. If the race car is not running (timing is about right for a run), we will bring the Z. Or the stagea. Or the bloody ute if necessary.

Everyone, if you are thinking about doing this hillclimb (best in NSW) don't miss out - these road stages are being shut down by the RTA and it may be your last chance :cool:

I drive this road a least once a week in my work truck...bit too twisty for me in anything with more power me thinks.

It's four lanes wide in sections. Do you actually know which part of the road we use?. I'm guessing NOT.

I've done it in my Skyline,in my Sports Sedan and can't wait to do it with the Radical.

cmon Paul bring the truck up, I'll bring the ute (z24 navara). Then we can have some fair head to head competition :ermm: Being a hillclimb all you will need is an extinguisher, blue triangle on the battery(ies?) and a number on the door.

Like Neil said its 4 lanes wide + tarred road edges in some place, which probably makes it the widest piece of race track in Oz. Certainly wider than EC's main straight - makes for some amazing lines through the corners.

I used to have a Navara...its a TURBO Ford Courier now...i could fold over the actuator line and actually make some boost! :banana:

Neil im more than aware where the track is set out, a mate of mine is a regular racer there and being a Port Stephens boy its almost in my backyard.

Mate it's not that twisty,,,you start with 4 lanes and thats how at stays. You go through a left/right chicane up through a flat out left,,,flat out right and so on,,,I think I brake maybe 3-4 times,the hard bit is the last left because they narrow the road with withches hats to slow you down over the finish line. From memory I was clocked at 180 over the finish line in the sports sedan. Now thats quicker than most Skylines are going to be going only because I was on super wide sticky Avons.

But as you read at all tracks and in sup-regs "Motor Sport is Dangerous".

I believe they have extended closing date for entry forms to tomorrow. Phone Ross Jones on 49972299 if you need more info.

I'll be there.

I'd given up on this meeting only because no-one was interested in doing it.

If your going then I'll ring Ross in the morning.

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      WTB R34 GTR Guard Liners

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
