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

    • Hi everyone, I've been wrestling with this for a while now and have been trying to find out the cause. For context, the turbos used are Garrett 2860 -5s, the BOV is a BNR32 HKS SSQV IV kit, the car is currently tuned to ~470 whp on 17.5 psi. The car drives normally, pulls well when it doesn't happen, and I can replicate it fairly easily. It does not sound like turbo shuffle or flutter. The engine has only a thousand or so miles and has had this behavior since it was completed. After my engine was built for my R32 GTR, I noticed that the car now sometimes makes an air discharge sound on what appears to be positive boost pressure that sounds really similar to a BOV. I had thought that it was a BOV issue but even when replacing it with a brand new unit, the sound persisted. It seems like it's coming from the passenger side but I may be mistaken. The closest scenario I could find was this post here https://www.gtr.co.uk/threads/maybe-a-boost-leak-opinions.147955/https://www.gtr.co.uk/threads/maybe-a-boost-leak-opinions.147955/ started by @yakshii and it sounds very similar. As in, at partial throttle once I reach positive boost I begin to hear the same psh psh psh psh psh sound like air is leaking somewhere when I keep the throttle in the same position. It most commonly happens in 4th gear at around 3-3.5k RPM and 5th gear around 2.5-3k RPM, which seems to coincide with normal positive boost thresholds. It might be similar to what @Austrian GTR mentioned about his own HKS SSQV. Notable difference would be that when he applies more throttle when it happens, it stops. In my scenario if I apply more throttle during this repeated psh psh psh sound, the cadence of the sound gets faster and louder rather than stopping. If I lift off slightly and apply throttle again, it will normally stop and pull without issue. I've checked all rubber couplers to ensure that they are tight, but have not gotten the opportunity to properly do a pressurized boost leak test. If anyone has had similar experiences or thoughts on what might be the cause, I'd be very keen to hear them. I also have a video of it happening from inside the cabin, if that would make it easier to understand: https://youtu.be/2zqZXcx8jbA
    • I'd want at least $40K for mine, but thats easy to say cos I'm not selling anyway.
    • That's incorrect. We have 4 seasons, consisting of pre winter, winter, post winter and a small glimpse of hope! 
    • I spotted a black C34 in Mittagong this morning!
