A beer is the last thing you'll want after running/walking that far!!!

I've done it 2 years in a row and it's good fun. People along the way hose you down out of they're front yards, there's people having parties alongthe way etc... it's a great atmosphere.

The only problem is getting home after the event as the public transport gets VERY packed out!

Hehe - cool.

I'll try and wear some form of SAU or Team Wang identifying clothing.

Should be easy to spot in the 65,000 other people ;)

How bad is the hill? Steep, or just long?

The hill is more long and winding then steep.

Two tips.

1)

Get a drink at every drink stop, whether you think you need it or not. And make it water NOT[\b] whatever sports drink they're trying to palm off that year. The sugar will only speed up your dehydration whilst your running. Save thos drinks for after.

2)

Stay clear of those idiots spraying you with water from their hoses. They shouldn't be wasting the water for one and the extra weight it adds to you at the end of the race really makes it hard on those last few flat sections. Especially when your shoes and socks are soaked through.

Good luck man.

If there is one good thing with us getting no rain these days its water restrictions. Normally alot of the people in the house you go by have a hose out. Last year there was not one. So again this year there will be no hoses. So your feet will keep dry.

If you keep your eye out you should be able to get about 4 free beers and 2 glasses of wine along the way. Just look out for house parties.

For the pub crawlers there are 2 pubs on the way and plenty at the finish.

Also look out for the krispy kream donuts at the end.

75mins - wooh!

Thanks for the lovely weather Kel - I really appreciate it :)

Was good fun - that hill is a killer... but I think the worst bit is the little rise as you pass the end of the beach in Bondi. Shall do it again next year - and try to bust 70mins.

Bris: About to head to the airport now :P

Is a superb day here - wish I could stay. How long you up for?

Must be in Melb on the 27th :D

    • Yeah good luck out there! Will be good to see a mighty GTST going harder than the GTRs
    • i will be there 😁
    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
