Sound awsome people

where are these shows??

just over 1 week to go so i think we need to get the map going

just a though a mate was saying that i may be a good idea to round up some CB's for easy comunication if going to an unkown place...Fully F&F bro :verymad:

so if we can get locations of the VW show that would be sweet

After a quick search it seems that the VW show n Shine will be at Cranbourne racecourse Map Ref 133 J6. Correct me if I’m wrong Fuzz

This may be good for the guy’s down East and South East but not sure if it will suit the others….

Throwing a spanner in the works an Idea could be that we Meet @ Cranbourne for the VW show then head up the mountain (Dandenong Mountain) towards the SAU show and shine and maybe a short cruise from there to Geelong or further……

This would most probably be a massive drive and a completely stupid idea. Though it may be good because then no one misses out on what they wanted???

Please shoot me down if you think it sux

Sounds ok to me, but I am starting off from (way) down south west so I'll be coming back this way anyhow... I'd be interested in checking out the shows for sure, so am happy with that option, would be pretty funny tunning up in a group of Stageas anyway, not usually seen in packs...

Cheers

Luke

LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL !!!!

man thats funny.

Hey Yudi - what did you have? Boy or girl? one, two or three of em ? :P

good luck with the cruise, all. hope its good weather and the boys in blue leave you be.

PS - hey Humble, got the highflow from Aaron (slide) today, fantastic! going onto the car on Monday.

seriously at this stage and looking at how hungover l'm going to be ... l reckon the SAU xmas bbq would be the go, then l guess we could always go on a short cruise after it around the bay or something for those interested indriving.

I'd be happy to sit around eating hamburgers & snags talking cars myself!! :no:

Far call Cim and I am working thank you…. Multi tasking mate

Could juts cut out the final cruise after the Show…..?

-From Clayton to Cranbourne it’s about 25 KM so 30 minutes

-From Cranbourne to Mt Dandenong is roughly 38 KM which works out to approx 40 minutes

-From Mt Dandenong to Batman Ave Melbourne it’s approximately 45 KM so round 47 minutes. This is taking the Eastern freeway.

All up it would be say 2 hours worth of driving and approx 120km worth of actual cruise, obviously more for the guys coming from GOR for example. And couple of hours at each show? In total it would be about the same as going one way to Apollo bay which is 239km form Noble Park.

We could miss Dandy Mountains and go straight from Cranbourne show to SAU show…via scenic ghetto route…it would be good to take the cars through the twisties though and get some scenery pics

i saw your post mate nice one.

be sure to let me know how it goes as i'll probably be taking the route we spoke about previously.

Sounds fine to me,

I'll be totally lost out there so you will have to look after me... Hahahaha!

Hey the dandy mountains arent bad i live at the bottom of the mountain, there is nothing dodgy about where i live except me hehehe.

Look i am happy to do whatever, Its just that this was being organised so Stagea people could catch up and have a chat etc, I dont want people who said they can come but decide not to cause they are being dodged, ie: Luke, considering most of us live around the metro are even if we are outer suburbs we are still a hell of a lot closer than what other members are that live out towards geelong or ballarat etc...

I am more than happy to head out, over, around whatever (think I am the only one coming from this side?). We can do the GOR next time. I do agree though that the whole point was a Stagea get together so I wouldn't want other factors and events to detract from that happening.

Cheers

Luke

Fair enough and good point people…

Just though could try and accommodate all interests but good point and fair enough …

Cool so all happy to scrap VW Show N Shine?

OK new proposal.

2nd

Meet - Meet Central early (Princes HWY Clayton Next to Mexican cantina/ park)

Cruise -Dandenong Mountains

Rest -Photo’s, Lunch/food depending on time. Share stories

Cruise -Dandenong Mountains to SAU Show N Shine

SAU Show n Shine -Birrarung Mar, Melbourne Map 2F J6 (alternate 1B S12, alternate 43 K9)

Lunch/Chat/Show off beasts - Relax check out the cars maybe lunch no.2

Possible Cruise -To Geelong or further for some beachside photo’s seeing as we’ll save some time from the cranny cruise and VW show

Cruise - Petrol and Home

So that is

-From Clayton to Mt Dandenong is roughly 33 KM which works out to approx 40 minutes

-Spend a couple of hours in mountains

-From Mt Dandenong to Batman Ave Melbourne it’s approximately 45 KM so round 47 minutes. This is taking the Eastern freeway. Could do an in town cruise… Just add maybe 15 min max

-spend some time at SAU show

- maybe cruise to Geelong for a final catch up then go home

Sound good

Yep, the last destination could be optional (Geelong, could be just Williamstown or Port Melbourne if we still feel the need) see how everyone is travelling at that point I guess. I am heading that way so is no drama for me but if people want to split from the city that would be cool I think.

Sounding good though!

Cheers

Luke

    • I'm looking for some real world experiences/feed back from anyone who has personally ran a EFR7670 with a 1.05 exhaust housing or a .83 I'm leaning towards the .83 because its a street car used mostly for spirited driving in the canyons roads. I"m not looking for big numbers on paper. I want a responsive powerband that will be very linear to 8000 rpm. I dont mind if power remains somewhat flat but dont want power to drop off on top. The turbo I've purchased is a 1.05, although the mounting flange T3 vs T4 and internal vs external waste gates are different on both housings, I not concern about swapping parts or making fabrication mods to get what I want. Based on some of the research I've done with chat gpt, the 1.05 housing seems to be the way to go with slightly more lag and future proofing for more mods but recommends .83 for best response/street car setup. AI doesn't have the same emotions as real people driving a GTR so I think you guys will be able to give me better feed back 😀   
    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
