I'm looking at starting the lake jumping/silly season early this year. my next free weekend is the 14th and 15th of november. most likely on the sunday.

I'm planning on draging the ramp out of my yard to the rowing docks, taping a few bottles to my BMX bike, getting some beer, maybe cook up a bbq, and have an awesome day down on the shores of lake burley griffin.

So who would be interested in coming down and having a crack at it?

honestly its only water, it cant hurt ya, bahaha.

Heres some pics from last season

also theres some vids from last season too on my facebook page, worth checking out...

3/4 backflips really do hurt :(

I a more than keen to do this. Like excessively keen. I've got an old BMX we might be able to use as well, I'll take the brakes off it and it will be sweet!

But yeah I don't quite trust that lake....oh well I don't care, if's it's open then whatever, just don't inhale it rofl. Would prefer another location tho.

Oh also, My mate has a ramp very similar to the on you use, that he built ages ago but doesn't use. We could use both? rofl

yeah troy the more ramps the better, if it is smaller than mine then that would be awesome, (most people say there gonna give it a go then get scared of the big ramp lol)

and eyah 2 bikes makes it heaps fun

I'm very open to suggeestions of a new place to jump, but I'll keep an ear out about the lakes condition

I'm going to have a look at a potential spot at lake G

The place we use at Burley is fully booked out for that day :laugh:

funny though... this is the first time i have ever looked at whether anything is going on at the docks... better find out now than on the day i guess

It's back on! sunday the 13th dec, same place at 1:30 pm

i organised it then remembered about that possible chrissy cruise, if that happens on the 13th it'll be a good place to stop and check out the lake.

Standing around looking at cars being pampered that are designed for flogging and should be on the track, I think the track still wins :)

Me and Zane celebrated the r32's birthday in true nissan style taking 1 and 2 in class at Oran Park. Thats what the 32 is all about

    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
    • Do you have some data like fuel pressure? It's really hard to say if you're still fighting a fuel system issue at this point. Could be something weird like the FPCM dipping out.
    • Yeah in that case, pulling the dent out. Event a very slight dent can create a lot of work filler-wise and there is a strong chance the panel won't be the factory shape when you are done (as the dent will result in a new high point created somewhere, then everything is brought up to that new high point... but the panel shouldn't be that high if that makes sense).  So you've filled and primed the panel and it is flat, why would you go back and remove the primer and add more filler? 
    • Something else I have been faffing with while the car was off the road is making the AC work. Assuming the car isn't at a thermal limit the idea of having AC while waiting in line to go on track sounds delightful. I have actually been lugging around the weight of the entire system since 2018 when the RB25NEO went in without it working at all.  The main reason was in the first few events before I got around to re-gassing it the rubber hose that runs under the manifold had the factory heat wrap/sleeve fail resulting in this: ~2 years ago I purchased a complete used R32 AC line set but when I finally went to install it the line i needed was different where the expansion section is I found a local place that was able to replace the rubber section and re-crimp. They also added some modern heat sleeve to the hose Tight fit but fingers crossed this is the last physical piece of the puzzle needed
