I think everyone overtook or had to wait for Raf :down::P

Pleased to have met you too Steve - quite a nice S14 with the meanest looking front. :)

Raf has to drive in a fashion as to not make his new baby an orphan. :P

Thanks Juz for your comments too btw. Sunny day tomorrow - to wash it.

Introduce yourself to me next time - and do it twice so that I don't forget you lol :D

Now that Humbla is away up in Qld with her grandkids - it's sorta safe isn't it, to tell you what happened at the end of the Overtaking Lane when she ran outta room? 'Er maybe leave it to another day - and keep the story in a 'dirt file' as leverage for a favour! :nuke:

Hey Champ, sorry that would of been me... i was stressing the whole way to the pass cause im only a "L Plater" i could only do 80... and ive never been on the road so i did pull over and let everyone go cause i do know how dangerous that road is, and i know you all wanted to have your fun, thanks for passing me on the broken lane sorry to hold you up for about 10 mins... you still caupht up to the group....but it won't happen again i get my p's and my line soon... sorry again but thanks guys for an AWSOME day!

Sorry I sounded a bit of a dickhead in the last post. No harm done, first time is always scary, always better to take it easy then roll down the mountain. No need to apologise, it was a cruise after all. Only did the pass once at full tilt when I went with my relo and another bloke in an R31 GTS1. Back then my car was even worse (stock engine, leaking Monroes) but it was awesome fun. I did chase a bike up the pass once when I was leading a couple of R31s hahaha. It's the only place apart from race tracks where you can open it up without going to jail.

That pass is definitely a very torturous road... Jamberoo Mountain Road is just as bad...

Both are terrible when you find patches of dry ice on them on the winter nights/ early mornings!

No, that road is more likely to hospitalise/kill you before you even see a copper on it... Terrible place for full tilt. Corners are constantly covered in moss when the weather has been right, and through winter, common for ice...

^^^ And also Matt, after rain in autumn > wet autumn leaves pay no respect to HICAS or ATTESA E-TS Pro; especially in the lower reaches of the pass.

Southbound from Cambewarra Mtn lookout on the Nowra Rd, the 1st hairpin (left) is treacherous too. An R34 GT-R in our convoy in '07 did a 180 in April. And he's also an EVO driver that does track.

Always slowed down when it was wet/soggy, plus I don't drive a turbro so don't get much up to 60 km/h anyway. My "full tilt" is slower than your "warming up the tyres" haha.

Mad quick run back to AP though.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
