it said on weatherzone, 85% chance of 1-5mm for newcastle region.

not sure if this counts as our drive though, expecting not but dont know where any other place is as im new to up here haha.

Now that I've fixed my washer jet connections, bring on the rain I say

When I first got the car, pulling the wiper stalk would get the front wipers going but spray the rear window; twisting the collar would get the rear wiper going and spray the windscreen. :wacko:

I just saw that too, hoping it clears by sat, realy wanna go on this drive

Is your skyline one of those super super super rare ones that doesn't have a roof and won't work in the wet?

Im down like donkey kong even if rains!! I've organised many successful cruises where it happend to rain and my mate still brang out his Murcielago ;) who cares, still cruise people... rain never hurt, just take a lot more care

for real??? from Newcastle to Richmond for putty RD?

that's dedication.. :cheers:

Ha its not that much more than the round trip for you guys in Sydney though...

one thing to think about with rain, besides of course if you have a convertable skyline ha is that a weeks worth of rain on rural roads (most likely crappy sprayed sealed ones, and not much ashaplt) that probably takes its fair share of heavy vehicles (never been up putty road so dont really know what its like) will have a servere effect on the roads wearing course, ie large pot holes and rocks/debris... unless there is a bit of dry weather i doubt the council will go fill up the holes before the weekend, could be wrong though...

Just a forwarning, the roads could be in horrible condition??... Just saying as i design roads for a living is all..

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
