Alrighty, lets say the 8th :) that'll give me some time to sort some stuff out as well ;)

so, back to destinations and travel paths then...

I like the sound of this:

Your best bet is just to skip the Akuna Bay section and just go vai McCarrs Creek rd and then through Bayview to Newport then palm beach.

The BEST section of that whole area is coming back from Bayview through Mc Carrs Creek rd. Once you pass the intersection of McCarrs Creek rd and West Head Rd, the road is all 2nd, 3rd gear uphill tight bends.

Although, i have no idea how to get there and round that way... CWest; will you be attending? or who else knows that way quite well?

Where's a good meet point for people? I know I and a few others will travel from the Hornsby area...

I really should finish the cruise database i'm making. I think it would make all our lives easier, just think of it.... a db where u can search by destination.... hightlights or even road condition and it supplies u with a list of possible options and a map when u select one.

Well enough of me pulling my own chain.... this all sounds great... keep me updated.

Well i live just around that area and also do most of my fishing in that area so yeah i know it pretty well. The 8th should be OK so ill most probably turn up.

As for meeting up well up to you. For people coming from Hornsby and or Strathfield your best bet would be to meet up at St Ives at the Maccas or something like that since thats were the 2 roads meet up.

Ok, well before i start listing it in the events section, lets get the details finalised ;)

So lets say:

8th April:

Palm Beach vai McCarrs Creek rd and then through Bayview to Newport.

Meet point would ideally be St Ives Maccas at 9pm for a 9:45pm departure.

How's that with everyone....?

Palm beach is a nice destination, but bare in mind the police will be watching you from the minute you reach pittwater road.

We have a good reputation down that way and normally the only attention we get is a drive by and quick check on our movements by a patrol car and thats it.

Take it very easy down there, there are enough commodore driving morons hooning around there as it is so drive sensibly and dont do anything stupid ;)

Also, the road to westhead is a good road, but not for the inexperienced driver. That section of road and Mccarrs Creek road have claimed more skylines than I care to remember . Mostly drivers who push themselves or their cars just that little bit to far.

Yes you are correct Blitz its a good fun road but driving through it should be done sensibly.

As long as the leading car goes at an appropriate pace im sure they wont suffer any casualties.

Check it out and post your interest. :D

Thanks for all the help with organising guys, we may still need a leader with solid knowledge of the area on the night, we'll see how i'm travelling sooner to the date :D

See you all there!

Dave.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.

      Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.

      There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.

      yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
