Bad fuel killed it, need to pump the tank dry and change plugs etc to hopefully sort that out.

Need to replace the coilovers as the rears are dead from Texi..... Properly dead haha

that sucks mate...was it dodgy flex or dodgy 98?

I think 16 cable ties should hold the BOV down temporarily thanks to Chookie :woot:

lolz :woot:

Sounds like a good distance to me

I think I posted one in here somewhere as well not sure of distance though

Yeah dig it up Martin! Also, how did you go with that meet up we talked about??? Any luck???

Dodgy flex, but NOT due to caltex, due to a storage issue i believe.... So my bad i would say!

yeah i remember it, someone else had one aswell.

I'll dig em up and plot them both.

I gota 4hr wait at the airport tonight :domokun: ... so i'll do it then.

Found it see below

Put up the EOI and will post in the events next week

Will ring the guy back on Sunday to book a few spots as there seems to be a bit of interest

Have a look on google maps at the back roads from Bolwarra to Singleton

Basically go along Maitland Vale rd then along Stanhope Rd and turn onto Elderslie Rd and go along till you get to Gresford Rd to go into Singleton

Or we could meet at say Hexham for a cruise and lunch to Nelson Bay or somewhere

Let's see what everyone thinks

I gota 4hr wait at the airport

I remember when the wife and I were on the return from our honeymoon and we had a 5 hour wait at Los Angeles airport

Managed to check in super early and leave the bags as well so got a cab to the pub and had a few drinks as well as a nice walk along the beach and out on one of the piers

Good times

Oh and Vegas f**kin rocks

Sounds like a good plan - Perth airport has a few bars inside though :-)

should be getting wasted in vegas sometime early next year :cheers:

You will have fun

Only advice I can give you is whatever you are thinking of spending double it

Oh and go to the Mirage for tea one night

I went there and ordered a steak. Cost $55 U.S but for the 24 ounces was worth every cent

righto,

Some ideas for potential crusie routes:

Possible route 1-

Newcastle to Coolongolook via buckets way and old pacfific hwy - lots of spagetti road - round trip ~250km

The plan would be to meet at ~10am and cruise along the route and arrive at ~1pm for lunch at the salty dog cafe.

Possible route 2-

Newcastle to boomerange beach via buckets way and lakes way- more spagetti road - round trip ~280km.

The plan would be to meet at ~10am and cruise along the route and arrive at ~1pm for lunch at hueys at blueys pizzeria

route2.png

possible route 3-

Newcastle to singleton via maitland vale road - mmm spagetti - round trip ~180km

The plan would be to meet at ~10am and cruise along the route and arrive at ~1pm for lunch somewhere (need suggestions)

route3.png

possible route 4-

Newcastle to Fingal Bay via Anna bay - good views - round trip ~ 130km

The plan would be to meet at ~10am and cruise along the route and arrive at ~11:30 for a BBQ lunch (need to confirm facilities) next to the beach along marine drive

route4.png

Feel free to comment, make further suggestions...

The 1st one looks good mate, although i had abit of a look at the road from booral to buladelah and it looks very rough, and if its still as bad as on street view, then may need to avoid it as will only be able to do 40kph etc. although wooten way from buladelah to wooten looks like alot of fun, alot of it is 3 lanes in the twistys which will make it alot of fun.. definately need to hit up that section for sure.

the nelson bay drive is pretty boring, i grew up out there so i know a few spots for pics etc.. but its a very cruisy drive...

went for a quick drive by through stockon yesterday (cant remeber if ive actually ever been to the town part ha), there are some great spots for pics over there, might take my car over there sometime soon for some pics if anyone wants to join?

Stockton was where I think we should do a regular meet and BBQ, say once a month or fortnight or whatever... Great spot for pics and convenient and no real police attention so it's relaxed!!!

Buladelah and Wooten way are awesome!!! Mainly because Wootten is my last name :D haha

Top work on the cruise routes though, awesome stuff!!

I've never been north or west of Newcastle so I have no clue. But I'll go with the flow. Keen for twists.

I want new tyres for Sau nats in nov, Probs shoulda went harder at Texi Lolol.

Matt, are you a rich mother f**ker that owns Wooten?

Lots of cows and paddocks too see man! :thumbsup:

If i was rich i wouldnt be worried about the cost of coilovers :P They just named the town after my awesomeness? lol

Anyway, i got work too do.... No SAU for me :domokun:

+1 for Fingal/stockton just bought a 1999 34 GTR in bayside so i need a chance to take some pics of her :D

More than welcome to come up for pics, a few good cameras and keen photographers in the group..... The 34's are really getting a strong group together between the Coast and Newy :D

    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
    • Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.
    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
