So did come out about the handbrake??
Top turn out guys.. I'll be over there soon with ya's.. Soon..
Yes mate. The plan was to use the handbrake. In the previous section it had been so steep that I had my foot on the brake to the firewall and I was still running downhill. Winnie had the same issue.
It just wasn't in the plan to do it in neutral!!!!!

Yeah the concept of using the handbrake on a steep decent is to apply it softly so it is just grabbing and this adds drag to you drive shaft on a Patrol farther than your rear brakes and encourages better engine braking. The cars felt really settled going down there and most people did the second stage without massive brake fade.
Was a great track.

The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever. WARNING: Towballs used for recoveries can, and do kill people and damage property.
