    Smile Added some more patina

    Yesterday I took my car on about a 250 mile run into the Victorian Alpine country culminating with a run up Mount Baw Baw, used for an annual hill climb / sprint (and for the cyclists reputed to be the toughest climb in Australian cycling and one of the toughest in the world - the last bit 6km long at an average 11.3% gradient with the steepest section at a gradient of 23.5%)

    Traveling though some of the relatively narrow roads with bits of tree on them I heard more than one big thump as i kicked a piece of wood up underneath the car adding a little more patina to the bottom but not causing any noticeable damage.

    The photos below, taken by Mike Jacobson who I went with, give some idea of the country we went through. This link to a video of a R35 GT-R last year shows some of the road (before he crashes off). Its a pity the Nissan crashed off before the really tight steep part and I cant find a video of that part to show - it is spectacular and the road is just a bit wider and smoother to make it even better than the first part shown here. And here is another video that Mike found that takes you all the way up the hill (albeit at a slower speed). We were lucky as it was a clear warm day yesterday with no rain unlike in the videos

    Repost. I attached a .pdf by mistake. Here's the .jpeg.

    I went to the dyno. Need to go back again next week after speaking with PMO. I have a stubborn dead spot at 4,000-4,500 rpms.

    Reassembled the wide-M calipers with new seals before putting them away for long term storage in favour of the Brembo upgrade.
