I have a 2002 nissan and found a procedure the other day to get it to throw fault codes at me. It was an odd combination of accelerator movement's and then the engine light would flash in accordance with any fault codes. Google is your friend. Mine was a qr25 engine in an xtrail, no idea if it's the same for other stuff

So did Raglan ride a few months back, was awesome. Then got all prepped for Te Ureweras but had to pull the pin unfortunately. So jumped at the chance to hit the 42nd traverse this weekend. Such a trooper, drowned it in the river once and couldn't quite make it up one steep bit without a little bit of foot assistance but otherwise dunno why the others bothered with big bikes!

Have had to pull the pin on the riding part of this weekend, but I will still be in Gisborne tomorrow night, and Waikaremoana on Saturday night, and likely tail you during the day on Saturday. Looking forward to some punishing sharns and refreshing beverages. All whilst knowing I will be sitting in air conditioned luxury transport during the day.

Edges should be rounded off by the end of 600kms, nice.

Sky is jizzing up here in Tuai/at the lake.

How embarrassing (for them). What even is the point of a big bike.

Did a stage sweep from Murupaua through to Waikaremoana today (I'm here for the week working). Road is is good shape, but surface varies a lot and has the fully range from big boi rock, through to slick dusty hard pack. Grader and roller was working its way through as well. Tyre choice is going to be critical*, and I think all things considered Golden Boys will be the pick of the bunch. * I'm joking.

@johnnyfive another one to take off the list, number 36 on your list

Thank you for your service.

At least you're realistic **Insert smiley face**

No, because @Geophy is a bitch and isn't going. I can grab them from you? Best bet is actually @WankBankA100 as I'm touch and go as I'm not guaranteed to make the start line, but happy to grab them anyway as Ill be seeing Richard before then.

This is tomorrow people, forecast looks good so get amongst it.

As Geophy Snr would say, that's not in the spirit though is it

Seem to recall that any welding on a brake pedal (other than OEM) is a big no no?

Will be interesting to see how Boort finds this years trip. Will it be boring? Will he be first to camp and hit the blue tops way too hard? Will he be overcome by the power and speed and put himself through a fence? Tune in in a couple of weeks to find out!

Yeh they are on there now. No rubbing so far, and normally I would have an hour excited gooch even going to work. The work down headstud some nuts will thank me I'm sure!

Ive also done the raglan ride, some hectic bush bashings, and some backyard racing over the last couple of months. So I'm reasonably comfortable in its ability haha.

I rode my bike 6km to work this morning for the first time in a long time. Pretty sure it's ready for eastcape now.

Still room in the basket, so yep, I'm in.

Faaark. massive spanners in the works. Without going into details, is there anyone who will be heading back to Gisborne after we finish on the Sunday with room for a body (no bike space needed)?

They need two.

I've definitely got a room with you both nights. Don't let me down maaaaaaan

It's November, which means Raglan. Turn up or you're a dumb dumb. Thursday 19th November. It's that time of year, so blow the dust off and bring your cars and bikes out for the annual Raglan meet, presented by oldschool.co.nz and CJC. Meet up at Countdown Dinsdale where we will convoy out to Raglan and park up on Marine Parade. Will look to get on the road about 6pm. There is a takeaway/fish and chip shop right next to where we will be parked up in Raglan, or plenty of other options to grab something from town and bring it across. Lots of parking, plenty of grass and a chance to talk some trash and enjoy a splendid summer evening (fingers crossed).

Don't know why you're so worried @kyteler, not like you're going to finish/cert anything anytime soon *smiley face*
