Hi All,

Seeing as there have been quite a few of 'this car only' cruises lately (i.e. the GTR only cruise, and the R34 Only Cruise, etc) I have been feeling rather excluded due to me owning an R32.... hey... its not my fault it is the best skyline made to date (with the exception of maybe an R34 GTR N1 or something :geek:) and everyone else is jealous of us R32 drivers and don't want us on your cruises.... so...... i was wondering if any other fellow R32 owners were interested in having an 'R32 Only' cruise, to somewhere like the sunshine coast for a bbq lunch or something?

at this stage, just gauging interest...

Thanks

Jason

You all have Cressida envy, I can tell :(

I have a couple of mates with R32s (they haven't upgraded to an R33 yet :)), I'll let them know this might be on and see what they reckon.

If you are all so keen to meet up and feel left out by the "specific model only" cruises, then participate in the Toowoomba Cruise this Sunday.

Please view this thread http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...howtopic=109008

I am more than happy to take applications for Club Membership on Sunday.

Have a read of the FAQ section of this thread http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...howtopic=104137 and if you have any other questions, please ask me!

Regards,

Karen - SAu Qld Treasurer

But that cruise is a "members only" cruise.............

Non members can't even access the thread.....how is that any different from a model specific cruise which discriminates against other models?

I would be keen to attend but don't think I should have to pay $50 for the privelidge.

True, non members cannot access the thread, but Mud has posted a thread in the general section to let people know about it.

Club Membership is not only about "Member Only" cruises, there are other benefits to being a member. For example if you buy tyres for your car at Bob Jane's and you are a member, the discount received will be greater than your initial membership fee of $55, so it pays for itself. You don't have to be purchasing tyres for your skyline either...any tyre purchase can receive the discount :)

Woah, bit steep there ellie.

Fellas Fellas, we all own skylines and were having a big sook about these "Specific Model" cruises. I don't know why that cant happen. In the past there has been Skylines Only cruises and maybe some there have felt that it was time for a "Specific Model" cruise. So what if its GTR only, so what if it is R34 Only - why are you left out? No one said that "All other models are not welcome".

Azzura, you have blown the topic to some other level that will invite unwelcome comments from some members. No one said that you were excluded. The only smart thing you did in your Post Topic was to ask for interest in your R32 cruise. Thats all you needed to do, not have a stab at the others for having a "Specific Model" cruise.

I'm sure one day we will have a Skylines cruise again and be family again LOL. But why is there an atmosphere of envy? Have your cruise, I dont think many will mind, geebus.

Well I'll leave it to Azzura to make a cool cruise for you R32 owners =)

Hey the R32 cruise sound like a good idea! I would not feel left out because i don't have that model, i might find a freind that dose have one so I can come along and checkout the R32 model with other pple that have that specific interest.

Our Gtr cruise that we have organzied is just that, for pple with a specfic interest. As one of the main organsiers of the event I would like to appolgise for any hard feelings or offending pple. I would be more than happy to contribute to a all skyline cruise.

    • That's kind of what I was getting at saying you'd be here soon regarding length etc being able to add additional restriction.  My assumption (possible donkeys of you and mption) is that the length of hose to an oil cooler, and back, isn't going to be that huge of a loss. Typically you're talking about 1.5m of total length. And so far everyone in our world hasn't had issues with oil not being able to get to a cooler and back, it's more been, how the heck do we get the oil out of the head and back down to the bottom? I'd nearly hazard a guess the biggest issue people have with oil cooling and oil supply, is being able to get the heat out at the cooler itself (not enough air flow, too small of a cooler etc) Also, when people mount them wrong and make really awesome air traps so they've dramatically diminished the cooling capacity.
    • I will rebutt this and the preceding point from Dose....but without doing any calcs to demonstrate anything and without knowing that I am right or wrong. But... The flow capacity of a fluid transfer system is not limited by the smallest orifice or section of conduit in that system, unless it is drastically smaller than the rest of the system. OK, I use the word drastically perhaps with too much emphasis, but let's drill down on what I really mean. The flow capacity of the system is the result of the sum of the restrictions of the entire system. So, to make an extreme example, if you have a network with 3" pipe everywhere (and let's say a total length of only a few metres) and that 12mm ID restriction of the oil filter connection being the obvious restriction, then for any given amount of pressure available, the vast majority of all the pressure drop in the system is going to occur in the 12mm restriction. But.... increase the length of the 3" pipeline to, say 1000m, and suddenly the pipe pressure loss will likely add up to either be in the same order of magnitude, possibly even exceeding that of the 12mm restriction. Now the 12mm restriction starts to matter less. Translate this to the actual engine, actual oil cooler hose sizing, etc etc, and perhaps: The pressure loss caused by flowing through the narrow section (being the 12mm oil filter port, and perhaps any internal engine oil flow pathways associated with it) is a certain number. The pressure loss through, say, -12 hoses out to the cooler and back is negligible, but The pressure loss through -10 hoses out to the cooler, at the exact same length as the above, starts to become a decent fraction of the loss through the 12mm stuff at the filter port. Maybe even it starts to exceed it. I could actually do these calcs if I knew 1) how much oil was actually flowing in the line, 2) gave enough of a f**k to do things that I hate doing for work, voluntarily for a hypothetical discussion. Anyway - I reiterate. It's not the narrowest port that necessarily determines how much it can all flow. It is the sum. A long enough length of seemingly fat enough pipe can still cause more loss than a semmingly dominant small bore restriction.
    • To pick up what Dose is putting down. Not a lot of point running a huge hose if the motor is still restricted to the smaller size... It's only capable of flowing so much at that point...   *Waits for GTSBoy to come in and bring in the technicalities of length of pipe, and additional restriction from wall friction etc etc*
    • Hooley Dooley these things have some history! If i sell them they will need a certificate of providence to prove they have been in the hands of verified RB20 royalty! They have been stored in a plastic tub, away from sunlight and moisture. They are in mint condition. And they will stay that way, as i have sprung the money for a set of shockworks coilovers. I'm just working on getting them in at the moment, after rebushing the rear of the car, and while the subframe was out i welded in the GKtech reinforcement bracing as well.  They will get a workout at Ararat King of The Hill in November. I ran 48s on the short course there a few months ago, and i am hoping with new bushes and shocks in the rear i can launch a bit harder. There was a fair bit of axle tramp when i tried too hard off the line. a few of the corners had dips mid way which also made the car feel a bit unsettled, hopefully this will help there too.
