___________________________________________

I know 2 skylines who have gone off the road on this stretch. Don't go to hard down there, especially not on the 13th :P (its my lucky day 2)

Also watch out. Cops have been pretty busy down in natio over the last 2 or 3 weeks. Just warning you all....

ahh mad! :D who is tuning?! you have 3 weeks! :devil:

Not much time, i know

Probably tune through Bel.

I really need to do a whole heap of shit before it gets to the tuner

Fit the exhaust + front pipe

Oil cooler

New spark plugs + oil change

Power FC (easy i know)

some gauges

And get my front bar + lip fixed up

Thats about all really :P

But hopefully i will see you guys there

lol lets go for a nasho run, the go to KKs in livo bro...

(jks)

James loves nasho runs too, we have been on a few together in the last few months, i will tell him and as long as he is in sydney that weekend (cant be sure) it wont take much convincing for him to come...

there is a better place to meet, well, there are better places, as i live in the area so yea, i could probably fill you in on some details.

One place that springs to mind is kirrawee train station carpark. It's fairly large, well lit, and close to a few main roads.

There is also a large carpark in loftus, where it serves it's purpose as a carpark for a soccer/cricket field. This is basically RIGHT next to the entrance to the national park, well, that road that leads into it anyway, right off the highway. The carpark should be empty at that time, and is also rather large. I can't remember if it's locked up now or not, but i don't think it is as allot of mountain bikers use it during the day to park there and then set off on their bikes. You could also use Southgate carpark, of southgate shopping centre in Sylvania. It should be relatively quiet at that time of night on a saturday or what ever, as the shops usually aren't open till that time. There is also a McDonalds there and a pub, so :)

Flora St in kirrawee, there's a fair bit of on street parking there, a very very dead quiet street at night (that part of it is anyway). A decent meeting spot as it is quiet, good parking, relatively close to shops, easy access to main roads, and close to the nasho (BTW Flora st is a long street with several sections, this is right down the bottom, where it starts, which is near bath road).

I dunno, if you are willing to discuss more meeting points then PM me. I just think it'd be a bit better than homebush as homebush might be out of the way for some, and it'sa fair treck from the nasho, so this area would be best as it's much closer to the actual "target area", so people will head in that direction anyway, rather than say, campbelltown, to homebush, then to nasho, when they can catch the M5 from C'town, then heathcote road to the shire and bob's your uncle.

hey Sphynx! thanks for the suggestions! :)  I will be doing a recon cruise, so will check all the locations out :(

well look, there's dozens more i could suggest, so before you head out let me know and i'll fill you in on some more.

I checked out kirrawee station carpark (across the road from the train station), it seemed kinda semi full, but then again, it is a weekday, and the restaurants there, on saturday nights it's rather dead.

Also, i forgot to mention, you have waratah park in sutherland, on old illawarra road i think. Stacks of parking space and close to the nasho, across the road from the army reserves depot.

Homebush is a better known spot, but this place is much closer to the nasho and isn't out of the way for some people so they won't have to waste fuel, plus it's rather close to fast food chains/food shops what ever, so you can hang around for a bit and socialise before you head off into the dark yonder of the nasho.

But yea, let me know if you need more, before you head out that is

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
