Ditto. There was mention of it in a really old thread (in a club registration thread) but it looks like it never quite took off.

But yes, a casual cruise/meetup would be nice. Lets throw ideas around in here :) One thought is we could alternate between bris and the GC to make it easier for all, and if you don't want to go sometimes then no big deal. Would be nice to have more regular smaller events, they're easier I guess.

Thanks my bit anyway :)

Guys, the weekly meet has been tried before but unfortunately it met an early demise due to people just not turning up. However, you all appear to be keen so it may work.

Might I suggest that you make the meeting point away from the 'usual' places. This may help with the unwanted presence of others.

Sounds good so far. Well a simple weekly thread in the events area would make it simple. It can be moved each week if we wanted to, or cruise somewhere different each week but meet at the same place. All just ideas at this stage.

And yes, I wont be there every week either but it would be good when i can make it.

I think a regular time would be good, like friday arvo's. Let's not make it too official though, just keep it social. A simple thread once we get the basics sorted, and then its just who's coming. If it's simple it might just work.

That said, lets do it. Next friday for round 1?

Yes, stickers would be great but don't think that will happen before then. The more we get out and do things like this the more we will get to know each other and the cars.

Ok, before we even think of the place, what time do we wanna kick this thing off. Maybe 6 or 6.30 so people get a chance to escape from work?

    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
    • Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...
    • No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.
    • You can temporarily* use lock collars to keep it in place until you can do the bushes, back the nuts off, slide them in, snug back up. *temporarily is often for ever
