All good :) 99% of the work was sitting waiting for the computer to finish.

#15 is the one you're all after!

Nah Ian, I wasn't cold > I was hot, trying to get the videocam restarted & warmed up at the last hillclimb, because I knew you guys were right on my tail.

Great Pics too Matt - with some astute framing + touching up to capture the dramatics + the impact!

Wow Matt, your Nur goes up hill quicker then my car going down hill lol

It was funny, that biker you can see in the vid came up on us pretty quick. He overtook and when I applied a bit of pressure during a faster section he started popping wheelies. Got close enough to see his ponytail. A nutter, but a nutter with skills

60 seconds maximum on the skidpan for one run at lunch time. You'll be fine without all that stuff ;)

You guys just come along and I'll sort out an easy course for you both and a stopwatch to see which Tung-Yep R34 is the quicker one whenever it suits you both

Oh, also need to open up the betting books haha

Still awaiting pat's wrap up story.

Come one Mr Hamilton, dont be shy.

sigh, fine.

overcooked it a little coming down the mountain with Terry, Matt, ian, rob and whoever was in the blue 34GTR. Basically we were being held up big time by some dude in a lumbering tin tray work ute so eventually Matt backed off enough to give us a bit of room and then when we jumped on the gas to catch up again i lost it going into a sharp left hander and somehow stopped myself from going over the cliff by the use of lots of braking, pointless steering (locked up so i dont think the direction of the wheels made a difference) and prayer.

Ended up just a few inches shy of the armco by the time i shuddered to a halt, meekly put it back in gear and trundled down the hill a little less hastily from then on. Ian was right behind me so im sure he was chuckling all the way down..im just glad my video camera battery died before it happened, its embarrassing enough telling the story let alone having to relive it on screen!

Sheesh Patty, you added me to your Facebook and you still don't know my name? :P

I might update my profile to "anonymous driver of Blue 34GTR"... ;)

Lol sorry mang, I'm the worst with names though. I was calling Matt everything other than Matt for years until it finally sunk in last wknd, ian I'm cheating because his name is in his username, sort of same deal with terry but i have known him long enough now so I actually know it off by heart.

Rob lives down the road and is a drinking buddy so same story, actually that's one way to get me to never forget someone's name. If they get me drunk (at least until the next morning)

Judging by the amount of lock-up smoke, your ABS isn't so AB.....

You didn't get a video? but guess who did!!

you guys where long gone around the corner. that's why it happened, he didn't have you as a breaking marker.

He was inches from the armco, and if someone had been coming up the hill at that time, his radiator would have been inches from his chin.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Yes I can see how that would put you off HFM, especially with the price of good quality brake fluid. From what I understand it as you say the BM50 is the standard BMC for a R32 GTR, I must admit I would like to go far a Genuine Nissan BM57, but lack of cash prevents that at present. With the price being so close between the genuine BM50 and BM57 a BM57 New it seems a better choice as you gain that 1/16 bore size with the BM57, I would be interested in how much difference you feel with the BM57 fitted. I am going to take SteveL's advice in the short term and see how much actually comes out of that proportioning valve vent and save up for the Genuine Nissan part. Thanks for clarifying the HFM failure

      Thanks mate. I just got the post inspection 1/2 done from state roads when the starter motor packed up, either that or the car alarm system is having trouble.  OEM part number 23300-AA112.

      Starter motor replacment teeth count.

      By oHBoy. · Posted

      Hi, I though I was coming to an end in finding a replacement starter motor for a rb25de neo. I came across a starter motor from Taarks and a message below stating: Direct fit. 11 Tooth count. All below part numbers have been superseded to 11 teeth. Can some body shed some light on going from 8 teeth to 11 teeth apart from 36-month / 25,000 km warranty for passenger vehicles to 12 Month Warranty. Compatible with the following Nissan part numbers: 23300-20P00 23300-20P01 23300-20P05 23300-20P10 23300-20P11 23300-AA111 23300-AA112 23300-AA300 23300-08U10 23300-08U11 23300-08U15

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      By niZmO_Man · Posted

      Low battery? Maybe check capacity? I know first-hand, on BMWs if your battery drops below 80% capacity, it starts causing strange issues.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      By niZmO_Man · Posted

      8.5 +37 = should fit rear, but I think it'll hit on front. What you want is low 30s/high 20's front, mid 30's rear. That 17" screenshot you posted looks good, I'd run it on my R32 (but that's long dead now). For tyre sizes, my rule of thumb is: 8': 235, 9": 255. But that's just my opinion. Nismo sizes: 18x8.5+35/18x9.5+38 is a good starting point.
