you are aksing for trouble taking the gtr to the snow. we went in a TT forister and it was still a bit sketchy. while we were driving i was thinking about how dangerous it would have neeb in my skyline with the mechanical 2 way.

there were a few cars nearly coming off the road.

just hire a commondore or a little 4wd. it will be cheaper than something happening to the gtr.

cheers

I went to Hotham for the first time at the bebining of September and arrived in a full blizzard. It is an intersting road to drive and certainly one to be carefull on. I was driving a M35 Stagea and I just kept the car in Syncro and Snow mode which locks the front rear split and dulls the throttle response.

It is a tricky road to drive.

Watch out next year for a new chain made of cloth. Sounds wierd but I know the importer and he is currently getting the product approved. It is great because there is no metal to damage your car. I can say exactly how it works but it is basically a cloth that goes over the wheel. It is approved by all the European countries under their Chains standards requirements. Interestingly enough there is no Australian standard to pass.

Have fun at Hotham skiing.....

and yer the attesa system was workin hard.. but if its not slipping torque on and its @ 100%.. then whats the problem??

      There was a great one on Victoria Rd in Gladesville too back in the day. I can only assume GTSBoy is thinking of the mill up on the wollondilly, no restaurant there any more but they have restored the original steam engine on site and run it every few months, have an annual steampunk festival etc @The Bogan, you came to the wrong town for restaurants. we have a few reasonable asian and indian options but the Paragon is as good as it gets otherwise. That brewery is apparently just opened, been meaning to give it a go some time. The Highlands have plenty of fancy options but I suspect you are more a hearty eater than fancy eater

      Going by the intake & injectors I'd be guessing it's a DE, check the head casting number, should be 5L8 on a DET, 5L7 I think is the DE number.

      For future reference, if you need to use Deutsch connectors but don't have the proper crimper for the round style pins, you can get regular style crimp pins too

      No. The castings are all the same. As you have the inlet off, simply measure the diameter of the inlet ports and compare with the freely available on the net sizes of turbo and NA. The NA ones are small.
