Hey, just something to raise an issue about.

What ive noticed is that victoria seems to be lacking small local meets. The big events are nice but some small meetup's should be organised around suburbs.

Ive been tagging along with my friend in his ozhonda club and they manage to have local meets nearly every week.

Some they have had are; late night carwashes, residential photoshoots (most shopping centres are happy for photoshoots ie. waverly gardens and monash uni) and just got back from a small meet/dinner at pancake palour at Glen Waverly

From my short time in the vic member section, sauvic seems to focus more around the large/major meets and it seems to lack the localness to it.

Im only saying this as i can only seem to find Westies and no east members floating around the board :(

Maybe once uni holidays start more local events may pop up, if not, i guess ill have to organise some.

Btw im located in Ferntree Gully area, so if any other vic member is around and interested in some form of meet up, post here so we can get the ball rolling :rant:

You could get some people together yourself, but our comittee runs numerous events so can't really be expected to be doing local stuff too. They already do an outstanding job of events.

Northside we occassionally have a breakfast at a nice cafe near my place, but that isn't even every month.

Thats the problem - everyone suggests it but no-one takes ownership.

But then if you really want to do local regular meets there enough other ones around. NS for example.

Thats it.

All well and good to make a suggestion, but most dont follow through.

Committee arent going to be responsible for organising mini/local meets. Its just time that we dont have free.

If you want something, do it :(

And i dunno about everyone being West... i'd say around 50% of members are all east

there isnt anything stopping you guys from brain storming or even planning one! Made this thread to spark the idea of meets to be planned by any members of the forum.

If anyone has an idea post up! Doesnt have to be planned. Just state a designated time/date at the local carwash/shops/etc and get the ball rolling from there.

    • Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist
    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
    • Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers
