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!

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

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

    • Dredgggggeeee time; I have recently finally started driving the car. It sat for so long that the fuel tank gave birth to rust sludge and blocked my lift pump sock and one of my walbro 460's and left grime, rust chunks and muck all through the surge tank and system. I decided to commit and pull the trigger on an oem r32 gtr fuel tank and Frenchys twin 460 / sender / surge tank hanger combo and all new larger lines and fittings etc, also boost doc heater hose kit / new heater core and a heap of other bits and shits like wideband sensor installed in the dump and Syltech iacv + lines and all wired and added to current tune. now having lightly driven it a couple times without issue, I can happily report on the hta3076 in its current tune. still no boost control switched on, 20psi gate springs, car makes 22psi at 3200rpm in 6th gear with 30-50% TPS from cruise at 100kmh. Going by the old graph, this means it should be making 300-325whp at the same numbers above. Very very responsive setup under true road driving loads. all that's left for the build is body loom + PDM, finish the remote aircon setup, install carbon fibre parts and go for full tune and 30psi. the 315 rear tyres are now performing like they're 195's, wheel spin in any gear at almost any rpm, whereas my previous setup hooked up in 3rd no issue, albeit Nt01's back then / RB25 5spd vs (new) old date r888r's Z34 6spd now, + obviously all the support upgrades I listed in the quoted post above. car sits at 1-3psi on cruise at 100kmh, expectations totally exceeded and I'm beyond stoked with all this so far.

    • I've also been eyeing their rear axles for my car. I purchased seat mounts from them about 7 years ago and they were hot garbage so I've been a little wary about purchasing them. With that being said, please buy them and get back to us haha. 
    • Can a moderator please move this into the right category.. I've accidently put this into racing build thread 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Being a manual, we very quickly ordered new R34 gearbox (From Nissan) and remaining parts from Kudos motorsports. Would highly recommend the team there. Ultra helpful and quick to share advice and upgrades. We are in the middle of taking the Auto out (Genuine 94,000/kms) and putting the Manual in this weekend. Part 2 of the build will include likely a Plazaman Intercooler and Plenium, Hks Exhaust with Tomei Dump (ordered).
