Am going to go to Mt Buller for a spot of lunch on Saturday 17th Jan. Anyone care to join me?

No particular reason other than getting out and getting some fresh air.

Is a nice drive - but at about 500km round-trip - is a two-tanker (especially for thirsty GTRs). Also worth noting that it is a 'country drive' where road conditions may not be as kind to low bodykits as suburban freeways.

Pending interest, I'll sort out maps, waypoints etc

Also - this is all 'weather permitting' - if it's a crappy day, I'll stay home :D

In case you forget where it is - 3hrs from Melb:

taking the mafia staff car? Or something less conspicuous?

The following weekend is the Porsche Mt Buller Hillclimb http://www.mtbullersprint.com/ and I'm probably going with a mate in his 350 for the 2 days. Might be worth holding off until then.

James,

sorry for the attempted hijack. Just had to make a choice and the Buller Sprint gets it, regardless how much I would love to come along. The social director has passed judgement.

So who's going to be singing....."We're going through Bonnie Doon......" ?

Geoff

I was singing that damm song as I drew the line through 'Bonnie Doon' on the map :(

Ah - how's the serenity?

Porsche day looks really cool - but have other things on that weekend (SAU Drinkies)So will go for the 17th as planned. Less people around too.

Sammi - depends on if Louise changes her mind. She doesn't like windy roads... but wants to come. Will keep you posted as 'wait listed' for co-pilot seat :)

Yeah but with the MtBuller Sprint on the following weekend Im guessing there will be a number of nice cars just getting a feel for the track.

Unfortunately I will be in Cairns so will have to give this one a miss. So I'll sit by the pool with a beer and think about ya instead James!

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
