Come on INASNT, dotn be weak, you know you want to come! :cheers:  All that power and never driven in anger!

You can get a drive in Roy's mystery door prize if you come :D

Just came back to mel last night at 11pm.

Alot of snow up in falls creek and 2wd will require chains about 5 km's from the entrance, but if you have good rims and lowered car good luck putting the chains on and taking em off when its dark and not getting the rims scratched. :D

I have been driving up to falls creek every week for the last 3 months for a few days, and its a FARKIN boaring drive on the hume :rofl:

WHat details were decided?

:confused: ummm.. A few things were decided. Cars without 3rd gear arent much good to anyone, neither are cars that dont start :Oops:

Give me a call on 0408 409 068, or touch base with Snowman, he is the flocks sheppard :cheers: ...or circus' ringmaster...take your pic.

Im so PUMPED this is going to be a good weekend :D

Ferni - is it just you coming up? I can get a good deal on a 5 person serviced appartment in Wang.

Also - because most of us are out East we are going to meet in Lillidale at 7:30am tomorrow morning. *yawn*

For those that dont have it my number is 0419 375 140. Call me now for a good time.

Ok - accomodation is booked at the Parkview Motor Inn - which is basically right near the main town of Wangaratta.

We have a twin and a tripple booked for Friday night and we move to a 2 bedroom serviced appartment on Sat. Cost is $35 per night for both nights. The exciting news is theres a swimming pool!

Anyways...

Just for reference I'll chuck up a track map for those that havent seen it. Looks like a hella fun track.

I also did some quick research on times to aim for.

Last years MSCA at Winton - the Skylines Class (Class J) was won with a best time of 137.8. No idea what car he was in. For reference one of the guys that I was similar paced to around Sandown earlier this year ran a 1.41.8. The day was won by a 135.4.

Not many cars under 1.45.

Ok got a proposed road plan....

I will be a FTG Maccas at 7:00 if anyone wants to meet there? (Burwood Hwy FTG) Let me know first as I will not go if anyone doesn't need this. Otherwise I suggest BP on the way out of Lillydale at 7:30. (On the Left, before hill out of Lilydale) From there we go Melba Hwy thru Yarra Glen and Yea. At this point we can go left and head for Seymoue and the Hume (Adds 15min to trip)(Will only go this way if we need to pick up troy roy boy or if the roads are icy) or we go right onto the Maroondah Hwy towards Mansfield and hang a left onto the Midland Hwy after Bonnie Doon and that takes us to Benalla.

Any comments / suggestions. Are we all happy with this?

Chris - I can be at macca's at 7:00 I basically have to pass by that way anyways. I'm tired just thinking about being in FG at 7:00am!

We can add a pull out bed for $10. (we are already doing this in one room on the first night) However on the off chance that James comes too we'll need another room - but thats no big deal. They had heaps of rooms available apparently.

I don't have a camera. :D

    • 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.
