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!

    • Ahhh, I need the whole head unit. I definitely needed to roll back through and review your setup, ha ha! Neat setup they have going on. I just need a full double din head unit. But I want good and responsive. I might have to review what the likes of pioneer have out these days.
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
