Hi

A couple of guys have asked quickest way from the City. I do the run every day and it won't be fast, but best is same as God_Speed has suggested, but don't go on M4. From Gipps St go Concord Rd, Wellbank St, Pomeroy St, Underwood Rd, Australia Ave, Bennelong Parkway, Hill Rd, Holker St.

It's more complicated but definitely quicker at that time of day.

If you want a map of where we are on Holker Street just email me at [email protected] We are the driveway off Holker Street about 100m to the west of the main entrance to Silverwater Jail, but on the opposite side of the road. Directly opposite the large white oil tanks.

Cheers

Andy

In the back of my mind I thought cutting through Olympic Park might have been an option but I wasn't completely sure. Thanks Andy that's good to know!

Looking forward to tonight. Hope the demo cars for the vinyl wrapping don't need to be spotless as the forecast is for some showers later today.

Also I have some carbon parts left from my group buy, anyone who want to take a look at them or possibly buy them tonight, let me know!

RB25 Cam Cover

RB25 Coilpack cover

R34 weathershields

Hi All,

Please check your name on the list for member status. If you have recently become a member and there is not a M next to your name, I need to know.

Personally I have avoided cleaning the Stag recently with the excuse I will learn to do it properly.... that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

@matt i cleaned my car twice on the weekend and kept it under the cover until today, parked in a carpark. I will bang my head on a wall if this is all spoilt by rain on the way.

Hope you can get out of work early and get out there faster then mate. Radar doesn't look at all bad at the moment though

Same! haha

its been dirty since i attended a motorkhana day 3 weeks ago

but all the rain we've been getting lately, semi cleaned it lol

is it possible to do some shopping before hand as i have to leave around 830 so will miss out on the HOK wrap & shopping at the end :(

Cant make it tonight. Sorry for late notice.

Im stuck at work on a shutdown still and doesnt look like i will finish any time soon.

More overtime means more gate??

That's a damned shame, mate. I even lined up a shopping trolley just for you!

BTW people, this map points out Holker Street, but the Megiuars/MotorActive workshop is on the OTHER side of Silverwater Road, not where the "A" waypoint is on that map... If you're coming from Silverwater Road, you have to head in the direction of Olympic Park and the Jail, then turn right into the estate.

I'm completely confused now....

Edit: never mind just typed in 35 Slough Business Park, Holker St Silverwater into google maps and now know where it is.... I think...

"GTR_77", you're in if you see this!

If entry is via Holker St, then I would assume it is the patch of concrete to the RIGHT of the picture, which is out of the picture/to the right of the patch of grass on the right of point B.

Corrections welcome. That's where I'm driving anyway. hahahah

    • Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.
    • That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.
    • Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.
    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
