Hi guys,

I enjoy late night / early morning mountain runs out of town in the more secluded parts of the world (i.e free from general public). Does anyone have any suggested areas or favourite mountain run areas?

Purely for enjoyable cruising of course.

I hate tofu :)

Just look to the horizon astro boy, if you see a hill go to it, be adventurous, explore ... its something you have to discover for yourself :)

NB..unfortunately you will never be free of the general public they pop up everywhere

I hear he started driving up there when he was 14 and it took him 2 hours to deliver the tofu,

Now he can do it in 4 minutes !!! :ermm:

Yeah the only way you can beat the asian kids on the mountain is to get a 70s mustang and drop an sr20 in it...

Wherever you go, just be careful of wildlife if you are going at night time. I passed a wombat on the way up Donna Buana at around 1am. After an adult deer ran across my path I realised it was a bad idea going up there by myself and I turned around to come back. On the way down I hit the wombat and all my head lights blew so it was a limp to nearest down with hazards and foglights on.

yeah you could end up like this guy..

Driving at 225kms in his BMW Z4 the Driver hit a Kangaroo..

The kangaroo disappeared!

The driver stopped and wondered where did the kangaroo go?

For all you drivers without bullbars, this is how you pack a 70 kg

kangaroo into a BMW Z4 convertible....

Oh no! I'm a bit of a tree / animal lover (despite driving a gas guzzler) so hitting an animal would really make me feel shit.

Good post. Definitely something to bear in mind.

    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell. 
    • Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂  
    • Is this a brand new LSD? if so, have you followed any break/bed in procedure for it? Usually involves heaps of figure 8 patterns, a fluid flush.
    • It's TWO steering wheels actually. 😛 one for each hand They are wheels, and they steer!
