well.. hillclimbs are approx 1km - 1.5km in length and average 34-53 depending on car. only ones ive done is Highclere near burnie, domain in hobart, collinsvale in hobart and the basky one.

can find apps and schedules at www.nwcctas.net or www.cmitas.org.

browse youtube for vids on all :laugh: will link some vids tonight when i get home.

what one do you like best funz?

ive done legerwood lane and barigton ones as driver and passenger but i dont think i would go back to either for the expence of the travel and the value of driving time. but in saying that im hella keen to get my car to one

unfortunately they dont run the barington one any more due to a massively deteriorating road surface. its also got no grip at the best of times and at least one car gets totaled at every event

Minna Road was good too, its a quick one with good road surface and some exciting drops to steer away from!

Collinsvale is pretty fast... I pucked fourth in my old GTR there!

Domain is awesome if you have an Evo!

Dystart (and old one) used to be much like a flatter version of Minna Road.

Eagle Hawk Neck was the best and longest, maybe it will run again one day.

Update on my cars...

Evo III is all back together and heaps of fun to drive, although its still not yet been used in anger. Its for sale and is pretty much a fresh thing with plenty of cash throw at it in the near two years I've owned it. My dollar per kilomtre ownership ratio on this car is even worst than the GTR or the RX7... maybe the two combined! For anyone interested check it out - http://www.my105.com/12415

RX-7 hits the tilt-tray to go get the engine back in it today, fingers crossed I can get it ready to use at a circuit event next year. Pretty sure I have all the requireded parts now.

Already searching for the next toy in Japan, expect something very different from the previous!

got 2 domain vids there, in process of uploading collinsvale, highclere and a few others. if you check my profile have a look at marinetowing, jam0076 in the gtr and snobes 350z. :-)

well.. front bar suffered a severe downsizing today at basky..not even jack could repair this lol

Oh well... At least you were out there having a crack.

Unlike that guy that turned up in his white GTR and then produced every excuse under the sun for not having a run... lol

    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
    • Welcome mate. Any pics? Even with a DE I'd be well happy if I had that as a 1st car.
