The really twisty bit between Buckets Way and home was good BUT a lot of crap roads for that small patch of fun!

Sweet, will keep an eye out for you! Be careful around Newcastle itself if your car is modified, the boys in blue had ruined the car scene up here due to the minority that spoilt it for all of us!

hahaha yep.

have you driven from dungog to stroud? stroud hill road i think, there is a really twisty bit, plenty of hair pins.. crap roads eaither side but that section is fun. and the stretch from gresford to dungog is also pretty good, again a few real tight bits which is really fun, but crap roads either side again.

the good thing on a bike is the road dont need to be quite as good to have alot of fun on them, especially when your learning!

Yep that is the road i meant! Carmen to a screeshot of the GPS and its just a spaghetti road!

It was fun in the 34 but was still a bit bumpy as the front would bottom out under hard braking and cornering! (Of course doing the speed limit the whole time)

Just got back from the 11 hour drive getting the car.

It has a sticky fuel gauge so we played it safe and refueled every 200km's. To my surprise with highway driving + a bit of stop start in Sydney it managed about 9-10l/100ks...

Is it just me or is that pretty awesome for a car with 330rwkw. We punched it a few times here and there as well but mostly just cruising.

Got it from Junee mate and I have driven it up to Port Macquarie to be stored at my Parents house for the time being.

I am pretty stoked on it, its in very good nic with the only issues being a couple oil leaks (cam cover seals and what I believe to be the oil drain pipe off the turbo). Will be getting onto those when I can.

I also came across another strange occurence with the car just now when I was down in the garage admiring my purchase haha. I made a thread here if anyone wants to have a look and offer any info/advice.

Also while Im at it, is it safe if I degrease / use a gurni on my engine bay? I just want to degrease it the best I can so I can spot exactly where these leaks are coming from. Whats the best method

people do gurni but you can try to avoid electrics all you like and you may still f**k something haha,

I pressure pack degreaser things if im looking for a leak etc then run it to see where it leaks from, more direct and safer.

as far as cleaning I think people armorall the engine bay? spray on wipe off.
gurni could chips paint on engine covers or paint in engine bay so id play it safe and do It the hard way :)

      Slight brake pedal stutter after new pads

      By PranK · Posted

      Just to be clear, there were no lights or codes when the hiccups were occurring. Also nothing noticeable in the cars' braking. It brakes fine and the dash is clear. I only made the connection when it did throw a code and suddenly, despite the lights, it felt great again.

      Yeah they are sliders and this was in my head before I worked out it was the speed sensor.

      Slight brake pedal stutter after new pads

      By PranK · Posted

      Ok so we have a smoking gun.  A few weeks ago I had to replace a speed sensor that I'd fit incorrectly. I replaced the sensor and everything was fine with no lights or codes thrown any longer.  When I was doing some more bedding in yesterday I got ABS and traction control lights again and, considering when this happens those things are disabled, the pedal went back to normal with smooth braking and no hiccups.  The codes thrown are for the same speed sensor that I replaced. When I looked at the sensor I took out it looks like the tip of the sensor is damaged. So whatever happened to it, perhaps it has damaged the magnetic ring on the bearing (that I only replaced the other week). I'll get my boroscope in the hole where the sensor goes and see if there is any damage in there. Hopefully just the tip of the sensor is in there and the bearing is fine. 🤞🏻  It's worth noting also that the pedal hiccup happens more often and for longer periods now and totally goes away when the codes are thrown again which happens usually after 5 or so minutes of driving. Love all your help here as usual guys, thanks!
