Hi all.

It was a damm good day.

Beautiful cars, Beautiful food and Beautiful people.

It was really good to see so many damm

fine examples of skylines.

The food at Amandas was to die for,

The view from Amandas was breath taking, the

view of Amanda could have been better,

she could've "" flashed for us""

My skyline is now owned by Moanie and Frank,

but saying that I also OWN theres.

But the best was the drive home

with franks, moanie and the xzotik1 owning that slow arse

ferrari.

Moanie and Frank: Thanks for the fun drive back

IT WAS REALLY GOOD.

Love cam..

i had fun on the trip up the old road, though i think the section between berowra and peats ridge could've been better - we went up pretty far!? it wasn't the "usual" old pac run i do...?!?!

anyways, as Cam mentioned, the drive back down the freeway was awesome - its a real pity we met up with the 550 Maranello at the end of the freeway!!!

dark, go back to page 8 and you will see a link to my gallery of the cruise, and im keen to see other photos too...

and the "flash" was gold :)

Hehehe... Maybe I did, maybe I didn't... :P

As for my pick-up attempt, well, your reaction said it all. :(

Good work Tosh, was a fun day, the food was great, the only thing lacking for me was that I didn't have a Skyline of my own to be thrashing. I must admit I felt very left out in that regard! If I wasn't so set on sinking a stack of money in to the Riv I'd have bought one about two weeks ago...

That said, the upside is that I got some pretty good video footage. I don't want to promise too much as far as that side of things goes, but I do intend to get at least a highlights clip together in the near future. When it's available I'll post the link on here for you all. Oh, and it will be for cable users or very patient dial-up users only. :)

What pick up attempts Tosh!!! :P That kid was such a cutie though :)

Cam...good to see you had fun! But seriously, i dunno how you could have possibly owned me!!! ;) That ferrari was so ready to give us a go....and then we had to go and run outta freeway :(

Hahaha...Tex you kill it!!! If it had been possible I would have fallen outta my seat from laughing so hard...and even then i was still giggling a good 10 mins after :)

Hehehe, good stuff. :) I thought for a moment I may have actually endangered you, due to the fact you suddenly weren't looking at the road anymore, but in the general direction of the floor of your car... :P Too bad I didn't get your reaction on video! :)

Great cruise, I enjoyed it. I've got some B&W footage from my mini camera - only a prototype setup at the moment but I'll dub some of it to audio and put it up when I get a chance.

Mona got quite a workout on the dirt section, don't have much of a tolerance for up and down do you? Shame :mad:

Incidentally Mona, my arse featured in the "other" film so don't worry about it.. these things happen :)

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      By Duncan · Posted

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
