hi all i thought id start a new thread to try to get some organisation ready for this weekend so it all doesnt fall in a pile.

can everyone who intends on coming sunday please post your name and where you are coming from so we know who to wait for and where.

as far as i know there is a fair group of people coming from launi keen to run the reverse targa stages.

launni people are meeting at the metro bus sheds bottom of the outlet at 9:30am please be early as we will be departing at 9:45am sharp and you may have to use high boost to catch us.

GMBs plans were to meet at cambeltown at 10:30am but the northern guys may be a tad late if we dont get off on time.

any north west people are welcome to meet us in town but it may be quicker if you want to meet at perth. launni people should be passing through there a bit before 10:00am

any southern people can stick to GMBs plan of meeting at Elwick Road turn off at 8:45 then head north to cambeltown.

i sagest that we all meet in a park on the east side of cambeltown on the south side of the river. anyone that went on the NS.com cruise will know where.

i think we should have a bit of a meet and greet there and then head to the east coast where we can then get some fish and chips from some of the local stores, maybe.

once on the east coast and full of food the northern guys can head reverse targa and the southern guys can head back down south via GMBs planed rute.

hope to see you all there. damo

nice to see there are some posts about already... I also had a great day and i am so happy that my little buzz box didn't miss a beat. the slush box was solid as a rock, now that i have a massive trans cooler in it. I got some ok footage on video and will try and get some pics on here when i get them.. i'll also try get some vids on. (not sure how yet. i assume same as pics)

the turnout was as follows:

R32 GTR x2 :laugh:

R33 Gtst 4door x2 :laughing-smiley-014:

R33 2 door x3 :)

R32 4door x1 :wave:

R32 gtst 2 door x1 ;)

S14 200sx x1 :woot:

Supra x1 :)

I would have loved to see some more hobart faces about but i am sure we will organise another meet and the next time some more ppl will come.. So all in all it was a great day and the weather could not have been any better. there were smiles all round and there were a couple of interested onlookers also....

Lastly I would like to thank everyone that came for making it a superb day :laugh:

^^^^ look at that pic. the over weight supra is blocking my car out of the pic, just as well as its not as pretty as some of the other cars.

i had a top day. i would say its the best cruse i have ever been on and it was full of friendly people.

maybe us keen launni people should have a few more regular short cruses as today was tops.

sorry to ben about my BOV it realy did piss him off. i had white nuckles hanging on over the passes and the sidling but we keept our open road speed down so there was no record breaking speeds from us just fast conering. i think if my car didnt have half the amount of power that bens has he would buy it off me :laughing-smiley-014:

i was very pleased overall with my car as it managed to keep up all day when it was possibly the least powerfull car there.

oh and there was 2 4door r32s but one turned back at cambeltown.

R33 Gtst 4door x2 :laughing-smiley-014:

Well I sat in my 4door of Luxury with my sun roof open and was able to easily seat all my imaginary bogan mates in the back with out having to get out of my car.

hahahaha

4 door = FTW!

    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it. 
    • Not yet quite as bad as what we've seen a Jim Berry clutch do in an R32 GTR though when it decided to cut a chassis rail in half... Still very very gnarly and a great reason to avoid.
