Cruise meeting spot: Lakeside Cafe', Mt Coot-tha Botanical Gardens, Toowong @ 9am - Depart time: 10am -- Cruisers must sign event registration at cafe' (parking in lot opposite entrance)

seeing as I am lazy and couldn't be bothered reading (and am apparently retarded because I have 300rwkw) do we all have to fill in the form? Ie is everyone on the cruise automatically entered in the show and shine? I am thinking about coming but due to drinking tonight it is no sure thing.

Where on cootha are we meeting up? There's a few carparks around the place, don't want to end up driving around there over and over again looking :(

The cruise is meeting in the car park at Mt Coot-tha Botanical Gardens, which is at the bottom of the hill, where the big glass hot-house thingy is, and the planetarium - that you can see from the freeway. NOT on top at the lookout cafe'.

There's also a car park directly across the road from the main entrance of the Botanical Gardens.

Everyone who particpates in the cruise and/or the show'n'shine must register first. The $2 covers you for the cruise, show'n'shine and entry, if you just want to have a look. You automatically are entitled to everything, but you are not required to do everything. Its all optional.

If you want to do just the cruise or both, obviously you'll have to get to the Botanical Gardens early to get your registration fee in.

If you only want to do the show'n'shine, just turn up at Lakeside and register and pay there. The cruisers will be expected to arrive around 11am, so if you going this way, then you might want to think about coming a lttle earlier or a little after 11:30am

A very worth while event & a great oppotunity to go cruisin in the beautiful Queensland sunshine.....try and keep me away.

I'll be there and I'll bring a mate with his R32GTR.

Im just trying to get my head around what this entails. Do we get to drive on the track, and do burnouts/drifts/skids and stuff? Or is it just a car show to support the reopening of lakeside?

awesome event Scott

great turnout, great cruise

some really nice looking cars there

numbers there i think doubled expectation (maybe even more)

sounds promising about it re-opening

great day

thanks :)

F**k all SAUers but. :) peoples you missed out on a top event

Hey guys just got back from lakeside and i gotta say it looks awesome. I hope the turnout was enough to get it reopened.There was about 6 of us there from SAU that i could recognise. I saw GTRgeoff, R33 S2, pnk32, s!k 31 and a couple of other skylines, including my R32 GT-R and my mates R33 GTST. For turnout we got hammered by the old school muscle and rotor crowds, but they were all so friendly and made positive comments on our cars so it was great anyway. Some of the show n shine cars were joking i hope, as i saw a bog standard late 80's falcon with the bonnet up amongst the showcars. :laughing-smiley-014: Oh and you guys are so friendly im coming to as many SAU events as i can from now on (work might give me some trouble but thats what sickies are for). Next time i hope to meet more of you.

What an outstanding turnout. I'm gobsmacked but absolutely amazed by the amount of support.

A really friendly day and I don't think it could happen elsewhere. I talked to heaps of enthusiasts, got around the track with Noel and Chris for a walk and relived some old times.

Pine Rivers, time to stop holding out. Re-open the track dammit. What greater message do you need? I think there was more there than for the stupid Copper support march.

Thanks for the efforts by the Lakeside Motor Racing Enthusiasts for their great efforts in raising the profile of the plight of our track.

Twas a great day indeed. So many ghosts in that place. The track is still in remarkable condition given the years of neglect. Mow the lawn and go racing actually.

Great representation from most car clubs and a stunning turnout from the bike fraternity. Even the organisers were taken short by the numbers that turned out on the day.

If the powers that be cant see the absolute neccesity of reopening that place after today then it is doomed.

    • The fab work can be as simple as a couple of silicon hoses and clamps to the factory piping. 
    • Just sounds like either way you need to do some fab work to get everything to fit, so why limit yourself at that point? If the GCG high flow option is zero effort in and out swap though I'd probably do that. It's almost certainly lowest risk, lowest cost, etc. The HKS GTIII-RS option that Kapr mentioned is laughably expensive for what it is, they charge the exact same for two turbos on the RB26 so their margins are off the charts on that thing.
    • Intake manifold is not a part of the issue. The turbo bolts to the exhaust manifold. That is easy. But close your eyes and picture the physical situation. That is a T3 flange on the manifold and a T3 flange on the turbo. As long as any new turbo has a T3 flange on the exhaust housing, that exhaust housing will bolt to the exhaust manifold. This places the exhaust housing in the same place as the stock one. But now move your mental attention a little further forward. The location of the compressor housing is set by the length of the turbo's core. The stock turbo had a long core. Let's say that it is..... 100mm long. So that would place the compressor housing 100mm forward of the exhaust housing. But a highflow, might well have a centre core that is shorter. Let's say that it is only 70mm long. Now the compressor housing will be 30mm further back in the engine bay than the stock one. This DOES move the turbo's compressor outlet backwards. It also moves the compressor's inlet backwards. You will very likely have to do some work to both the inlet and outlet piping to make everything connect again. I am not say this to make it out to be a bigger deal than it is. I am just pointing out that "bolt on" is sometimes not quite bolt on. The highflow from GCG that Murray linked above (https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html ) uses a core that is the same length as the stock core, and so does not require this extra work. It will look very much like the stock turbo. No-one uses GTR turbos of any flavour (stock, or aftermarket) in a single turbo application on RB20/25. It's not a thing. Yes, people have been putting on GT3076, GTX3076 (and bigger and smaller versions of those) and G30s (of various sizes) onto RB20/25 since forever. But these are not "bolt on". Everything except the 4 bolts to the exhaust manifold change with these. And genuine Garretts are expensive. Non-gen, like Pulsar, etc, are cheaper, variously as good or nearly as good. But still not bolt on. No-one in the right mind would pay for an HKS turbo. Not in this modern day and age. Well, yes, the GCG highflow. You could ask HG what he can do to make the compressor housing sit in the original location. There are surely others doing highflows around the world. And some of the eBay/Temu ones (as reported by Dose) work and don't die. Bit of a lottery though. I would send your turbo to GCG (here in Oz) to be highflowed if you want a trivial no-extra-work option. But seriously, the work required to change inlet and outlet piping is not that hard. That's a boost control problem, not a turbo problem.
    • Thank you all for the replys 🙂 I know that intake would be different but that is one pipe at it is not that hard to get(custom one). I meant mainly bolt to the stock manifold and the turbo elbow. I looked and many sites/forums but they are just "old" with some old HKS turbos from GT-R i guess? What about some Garrets?  Or any other turbo? Is there even a turbo which i can just bolt on? 😄 And yeah i know about that new HKS but that is like 2000k USD without taxes/shipping in here   Iam getting a touch up tune but my "problem" is that on the "not" hot day iam getting peaks around 0,9 bar...and when it was around 15 Celsious i saw peak around 1 bar which is just too much for stock turbo. And of course turbo is old and i like to get some new one for a piece of mind 🙂 
    • I'm working on the assumption that our friend Jasmine here is a Russian (or, possibly Ukrainian) spammer/spambot, based purely on the number of such that I have been having to neuter in the last few weeks. IP address for the OP above was in WA. But that could have been via VPN. Posting at quarter to 4 in the morning is a good sign of being from somewhere in Europe. The last Jasmine that I kicked in the cooch was IP addressed in Ukraine. Even that could have been via VPN, and the bitchbot could have been from Russia, Serbia, China or anywhere. Regardless, was a spambot, so I killed it with fire. The fact that our new friend Jasmine here did not respond in any way to my tart query strongly suggests to me that this OP was just the establishment phase of a user able to be activated for spamming in a week, or 3 or 10.
