Guys,

There are multiple posts from people concerned for the safety of their skylines, but still very eager to get their cars out of the garage

The lawrence hardgrave drive was opened up for people to walk over on sunday, but cars can travel on it from monday.

So far ive been through the LH drive 3 times, its a really great short drive (would be a good hillclimb if the road could be closed off) and NOWHERE near the violence affected suburbs

Directions: Head south on princes highway, take the wollongong turnoff (its the 2 left lanes near kirrawee - cant miss, theres signs) follow that for a while (15 mins or so depending on traffic). the LH drive turnoff is well signposted and is quite visible from a long way away. go straight through the roundabout then turn right at the first stop sign and enjoy

-Steve

Forget that, you may as well do the drive properly! Take the Royal National Park turnoff at Audley and enjoy the run through there as well. I used to go for a drive through the national park, down through stanwell and along the coast to wollongong pretty much every week when the coast road was open, its magnificent in summer.

Yeah nasho is fun, i left it out cause i thought everybody would have done it already.

Heres my Saturday arvo circuit:

From home to nasho, through nasho to LH drive, down that, through the gong, towards mac pass (up and down that a few times) then back to Sydney

Great way to waste fuel and tyres

I was considering this run as a suggestion for the cancelled Sydney to Newcastle cruise this Sunday. I drive to Wollongong everyday but I take the quicker freeway route. Might try the LH run this weekend.

yeah nasho run is great!!! Had my first drive through there on Sunday after the Xmas cruise!! Soooooooo much fun :)

I went through there on sunday at around 4pm, only saw one white r34 though.

Yeah i totally agree Morgs, an organised cruise through there at the moment is stupidity, but people going by themselves should be ok

There was an XR8 cop car behind me the whole way when i did it the first time, he didnt seem to care. Although if there were 10 more skylines infront of me im sure it would have been a different story

After this whole racial thing dies down i might organise a cruise through there

Last night i was being tailgated by a cop van. seriously, a damn van!

I think it was a hiace? not sure of its name exactly. I couldnt see his lights in the mirror-he was that close. So to get rid of him i changed from 5th to 3rd (which obviously slows down :) ) and didnt touch the brakes. Needless to say he got a shock.

They left me alone after that

In hindsight i shouldnt have done it, but like most skyline owners i was doing nothing wrong and just going home from dinner, definatly not in the mood for being hassled

If you take the alternative back roads, you can virtually avoid all the hot spots and still cruise on down to wollongong. Or could even stop short of there and go to Tawradgi Beach which is a nice and quiet place to park.

Alford's Point Rd then the Bangor By-Pass and then onto the Princes Highway and the National Park, then LH Drive and back onto Princes H/way.

^^^ To all those interested in the Nasho run, please be advised that some friends of mine happened to notice a huge sign out near Kirrawee McDonalds that police are now targeting speeding in the national park...

So just be careful when your in there

    • I mean, I can confirm the TPS is at 100%.... I can confirm when we installed the TB and setup the cable that the TB was indeed fully open at max pedal travel.. the same 'curve' (WRT MAP vs MAP) existed with the previous setup/TB/manifold as well... No, we did not do a run with no intake connected. I would love to go back in time to do such a run to rule out the intake. It would have also been good to do a run with the airbox lid off. There's a test there where increased IAT vs more available air could be a positive tradeoff. I remember taking the lid off my R34 Turbo setup back in the day and noticing a monster increase, even if IAT's did go up. Could be similar. Hard to test unless I find a very deserted road. 
    • That's actually encouraging to be honest. my motor was rebuild many years ago but it's probably done less than 30,000kms and fucc all limiter or drift, majority street / drag / roll racing. It'll be fine 💪🏼 I don't even have lines or a can for the cam breathers installed yet, there is zero oil residue or splatter on or around them, it drives beautifully so it seems healthy. Just a ticky lifter, yet they're almost brand new oem genuine Nissan and haven't done many kms at all...
    • Have you confirmed the throttle body goes to WOT (and stays there) during the run?
    • I'm having a problem. I think it was mentioned above somewhere but can't see it.  I'm stuck in the cycle of, sand, filler, low spot again, put filler, sand, low spot again, now i put filler again and a thicker portion which seems to have helped but I got low spots in other areas. In the image. Circled in red thats where the original low spot was and the shape is the same as the red out line. I've more or less fixed that (still low spot up the top but now I have low spots where the green circled part is.  Is likely the issue that I didn't start with a course sand paper? I sanded the filler with 240 to reduce the risk of not going to far but maybe the issue is that I'm only taking off enough material to remove some of the filler but not the high spots. I now started sanding with 120 and I think I'm seeing a difference. I did fix one dent the other 2 are f**ked and seems like I made another low spot which is indicated by the furthest green circle on the left handside. Any thoughts and solutions?   Also second image. All of these rock chips, can they be filled in with primer or do i need to fill them all with filler/putty? So many rock chips on mine lol.
    • Well, I had an Edward Lee's special edition odo windback car/motor with a RB25DET S2 and I put down 372kW with a good amount of track abuse for 1.5 years before the ring lands decided it didn't want to stick around anymore 🥲 But probably didn't help I kept on smashing try limiter on the track and a few skid pans.
