How could you not notice that PhatMirage was only like 3 to 4 feet taller than everyone else...........? :)

lol...yeah I did....I asked him to kneel down at one stage so I didn't feel so freakin short

Another good night and some great fun.. Even if we did end up taking the "scenic" route and lost everybody. But there was no WAY i was stopping in front of the blue boys.

Was loosing traction fair bit going up those twisties.. damn crappy tyres. Also have to love it when the exact moment you lose a bit of traction a car happens to be coming right around that same corner :-$ few scary moments. I need a GTR :)

Still want to know what happened to the sil80 driver who just kinda stopped (stuffed something?) in the other lane of the mountain? when a few other cars were coming the other way??

Yeah but the sad thing is that all those people who did not go through beechmont, only did the warm up twisties, Beechmont was the main feature of the cruise, but shit hppens, got heaps of maps ready so if we ever do it again they'll be there!

yup..wherever we *did* end up was a pretty mad route.. one lane most of the way and exciting features such as gravel and pitch blackness. Was pretty mad in itself, but had absolutely no idea where i was or where i was going, until i finally saw a sign that said "nerang 26km"

Cool well at least it was an enjoyable night for even those who got lost.

Still dissapointed about the guy who got the ticket, that just pain sucks, and it was on my cruise, oh well, you get that on these big jobs :)

I have to say i was very impressed with my maiden voyage!!

The GTR i was passenger in sure had some pull thru those twisties and a few of the straights!! (It is for sale by the way :D ) Good to meet the crew. Pity about the split group but such is life. And as for the speeding ticket...110 in a 70 pulled over by a police dog unit (dont know if they had a radar or what, kev didnt see any reading....) Maybe i should not have even invited him BUGGER!! Thats what happens if your the 1st or the last in the pack i suppose.

I look forward to the next adventure.

Haro

I emailed the pics to Chris (Nexus) and waiting for him to post them, if doesnt I'll wait till I get instructions from Adrian (strutto) on putting them up onto somewhere using his webspace, either way I'll get them up here :D

    • 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.
