So Fez and I have booked accommodation at the Mawson Lakes for Nats and are now looking at overnight stays for the trip there and back.

The plan at the moment is:

* 20th Sydney -> Mildura (10 hours)

* 21st Mildura -> Adelaide (4.5 hours)

* 25th Adelaide -> Wagga Wagga (9.5 hours)

* 26th Wagga Wagga -> Sydney (4.5 hours)

Who else is road tripping to Nats? Open to suggestions on route changes and accommodation.

Yep im road trippin from gosford, that plan sounds ok to me...

Would be nice to drive along with some others whilst im trailering my 33...

Im looking foraccommodation to share if anyone is interested both in sa and along the way

Great. At the moment I've book a 2 room apartment at Mawson Lakes for myself, Fez and Fez's GF but I can look at changing that to a 3 bedroom but we should have a couple of others coming down too who might want to share (hoping to catch up with Luke at the Texi on Monday to discuss). Once we have numbers and decide where to stay in Mildura and Wagga Wagga we can figure out the sharing arrangements for those stops (open to suggestions).

I think the 7-11 on the hume hwy after picton would be a good spot to head off from so that people can get through Sydney how they like. Suggested route for the first day:

    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
    • Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.  
    • I NEVER think about using a scissor jack unless there is absolutely no other alternative. f**king things are dangerous, annoying and stupid.
