That Zed really boogies up at "highway" speeds, made me wish I bought the TT Supra and not the non-turbo!

You were in the silver supra mate? I was expecting you to fly away from me along the highway after being so fast thru the twisties - did you even try?

Zed loved the bit of road just before we stopped to talk to the local flashers and friends - long fast straights and sweepers :D Except that dam Hilux slowed us down. Finally passed him (and another skyline at same time) and after that we didn't catch the lead group til just before we stopped.

Once again, awesome nite guys, thanks again Ian, and I can't wait til the next one :D

Yeah that was me, the Supra is a non-turbo so out on the open road the lack of power is really really obvious :D. Around the Mountain it's more about car control than raw power :dry:. No level of car control can help when it's just a big long straight and only one foot pressed down.:D

My passenger goes that supra isn't so fast and I said to him that I didn't think you were even trying... That 200 was pretty quick tho - complete with flamage

Tell you what man, to make it up to you, do you want to go on a run sometime, like, me and you. Nothing competitive about it, and im not trying to call you out, but since you missed out this time im happy to take you to make up for it? Im sure thered be a couple of others to tag along too.

ill probobly see what I can do about orginising these once per month or thereabouts? Running them too much will see the numbers dip, and I need time to scout and plan the routes. Im thinking gold coast hinterlands next time would be fun, with a finish at a hoggs breath up there?

We will see when the time comes next month.

ooh ooh!! Ill come!!! lol

would have liked to come but only saw this post now :)

Pish Posh.

That supra was all over me on the mountains!

But I have some new mods done now that have and will continue to drastically change the handling of the car...

Cant wait till the next mountain cruise. Should also have the coilovers and new breaks on there too by then.

So... noone wants to be my navigator to scout the next run?

That was my 1st ever cruise in my skyline, when u all took off on me and magicmike (300zx) when we pulled out of Milton maccas when we got stuck at the traffic lights I was like wow no way....

Then I was last in the line when we starting the incline up the mountain. I missed a gear and slowed right down... I wasn’t 2 comfortable or knew what my car was capable of doing to begin with so I took it easy and I just see the rest of u taken off in the distance and my passengers were like... holy shit there fast...

Any way we drove up there and went right past where u guys stopped for a break... we missed it and kept going, we stopped had a toilet break on the side of the road and said oh this sucks... there long gone now lets call it a night and go home

So we turned around, as we were going down my mate said there is a car coming turn your high beam off... then we were like hold on a tick, THERE THEY ARE so we did a u turn and kept up for the rest

But yeh I was stuck behind the hilux along the highway for a bit but i seen the 200 and a r33 fly past me and then 3 seconds later the 300 and another skyline.... crazy shit never thought id see this happen...

Over all I had a great time your all a great bunch of people and I hope to come out with you again :laugh:

That’s my story :)

Quick question for Squizz, after the mountain run, my suspension is a bit softer. Shocks still feel OK but the springs may have collapsed?? The new Whiteline adjustable swaybars are still doing their job but the springs feels really soft. They are only about 18 months old. Does this sound reasonable??

    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
