So what are the groups?

or are mine just missing something.

GDay Albert,

Group#1 will be R34 GT-Rs with mxfly and Terry_GT-R34 in their midst

Group#2 will be R34 GT-Ts/GTs with SHANE666 and lankanboii ditto

Group#3 will be Non-R34s with pbk1776 and God_speed ditto

All organisers will be easily spotted in their Orange Shirts with Tags

Just to keep everything in order until tucked into their spots at the top of the mountain.

Cheers, Tez

is there going to be another meeting spot when we get further out west??i was thinking we could use the whole stretch of road outside the raaf base.. straight bit of rd and its just before town where we can regroup saftly

From the ACT...

It looks as if 'CeJay' and his R32 GT-R will be coming in Group #3 Raf & Matt (God_speed)

And 'GTRKat' is a likely with his R32 GTsT

I wish I had a gtr, but it's only a 4dr gts4 with a 25det in it :P

You're right again...

We're considering that same spot along the tree-lined stretch between Clarendon & Richmond opp RAAF and next to the tennis complex under the trees.

And that spreadsheet of Matt's creates order out of chaos :P

Well after the recon run yesterday, we managed to scope out some really nice spots in Mt Wilson. Some pics were taken to show everyone what the area looks like as well.

Pics below are where we will line up for photo shoot and car judging at Mount Wilson. Everyone are welcome to be involved with the judging as well. Prizes for each category winner includes GT-R car models, genuine Nismo shirts and track tops, and perhaps other little goodies yet to be finalised.

This is the visitors information map. The Avenue (Mt Wilson Rd) is where we will line up the cars. Cathedral reserve on top right is where we will do lunch, performance by Japanese swordsmen, prize presentation, and more photoshoots!

This is the only cafe in Mt Wilson where food can be purchased. We are under negotiations with the proprietor to see if they can cater for most of us on the day. Obviously not everyone would want to buy their lunches there. In fact, after the photoshoot and judging, we will relocate to a nice picnic area at Cathedral reserve so bring along your own lunch and drinks if you wish to.

Parking are outside the cafe. Condition of the road is not too friendly with low cars so take extra care if you wish to go down there.

Cathedral reserve. Ample parking for all of us, although we will be scattered due to other people using the park as well. But we all agreed this will be the best place to lunch it and just relax. The dirt road is friendly for low cars as well as we used Matt's R33 GT-R to test it! We will also host the Japanese swordsmen demonstration here as well and in conclusion to the day, the winners of car judging will be announced here.

Well that's all for now. If anyone has any questions, just post them up here and we will respond asap.

Looks good.

Hopefully there will be no morons there who get carried away on the dirt roads hence throwing up stones on cars behind

Just make sure you are following Terry's car. He drives sooo sloow... :P

Seriously though in an attempt to control that sort of behaviour I think that we will be getting the lead car of each group to take the speed down quite a bit once we turn into the access road that leads into Mount Wilson. As you are hinting at, the roads (while they are sealed and absent of any craters or significant potholes) are not exactly first-class blacktop when going into Mt Wilson so people should be keeping their speed in check.

When entering the picnic area at Cathedral Reserve in particular, drivers should take note of the dirt surfaces, as well as families / kids playing in the area (or women that happen to be crossing the road with dogs).

F/S 2000 Model R34 GT-R

Black with HKS/Blitz/Apexi mods + ADVAN Racing RG rims

Reason why I want a NEW OWNER ?

Driver is too slow!

I want to go fast but...

i) Terry can't get me past GO

ii) I never see $200 for fuel

iii) driver has lost 9pts and is 3pts away from JAIL

iv) I get stuck on Free Parking 75% of the time

v) 25% at Water Works

    • Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
    • Literally looks like direct port nitrous haha
    • They are in fact just nozzles. They are there only to produce a spray pattern and limit flow. The injector itself is what I use to control flow to the 7x nozzles. My old system had no injector and only PWM the pump. This lead to a lot of inconsistencies, and poor atomization at low pressure when the pump was ramping up.
