Hi guys, I'm looking at organizing a cruise some time in November.

i am thinking of another GOR run or maybe do the cruise around town to nice look out spots.

also does any body know of any long weekends in November.

the reason for this is ignition DVD do wont to cover a Melbourne based hot spot, so i said i would give them one in nov so all can

be organized.

I wont do it on a Sunday as I'm coming from Wagga Wagga and may have other people with me so we need the Sunday to drive back safely.

its a 4-4.5h drive.

If all goes well I'll get it going

Cheers, Brentt

I get ignition every month, would definately be up for this, wouldnt be up for GOR tho but somewhere around melb would be good.

the 3rd is the best date as that is the weekend before melbourne cup day and i always take the monday off so its a 4 day weekend for me :D

well if people like the idea of crusieng around melbourne every throw up some good places to stop and i can use them

Yes, then they can have Ignition: Gaol cell edition.

Seriously, how about starting out in a nice outer suburb that isn't assosciated with hooning, but not so uptight that the locals will call the police if a loud exhaust is heard. Consider Templestow, Doncaster, those sort of places.

Definately not Chadstone, after last time.

get onto the Eastern Freeway, a couple dozen skylines on that, 4 lanes wide should make for a good shot.

If it's going to mention Skylines Australia AT ALL I'd clear it with the comittee first. Could be good PR.

Maybe even get them to come along to a track day or something. I think that'd be more impressive than a bunch of dicks dragging on the street.

It'd be a great chance to show people that SAU is NOT about hooning and stuff like that, but if anyone screws around, we can expect every skyline in town to be pulled over the day after the DVD comes out.

Yes, they check that stuff.

After watching every dvd i can tell you that there not interested in street drags, in fact they bag the people who want to be heros and get the place shut down, in fact they never show any actual cruising, what we need is one big meeting place where they can film lots of cars in the one place, also if it is confined to the skyline community then it will flop, most of the meets they go to have 300+ cars from all different makes, for this to be succcesfull we need to get everyone involved, im talking, rotary, toyota, holden, ford, mitsubishi, hell there are even ppl with nice datsuns (not many but a few) everyone needs to turn out to get a big feature on the dvd, if my memory serves me right i believe the biggest one so far was in adelaide with around 800 cars.

Either way i will be there but it needs a lot more than just skylines to get there attention.

Yep spot on. No reason you can't run a kick ass cruise to that location though :)

yea im not up for going to aceral hot spots. i just got to think of some bick ass carparks.

docaster is one spot maby the start

move on to frankston

back to some were

userly is a good run

so it looks like alot of people wona come and do it.

what ill do is ill post the dates to igntion and see when they can do it.

when thats confermed ill post it up and ill get every body to post it all over the place.

and cruise guidelines will be inforced on this one

just to throw a few ideas up, dandenong tourist rd is allways a good drive, its no GOR but still good fun. OR beach rd from st kilda down to like arthurs seat or sumthing, only prob is traffic lights breaks every1 up

even though its a long way from melbourne, has anyone else done the hill climb up Mt Buller outside the ski season times? my parents live up there so i have done it heaps of times and it is a bl**dy fantastic drive. would be great to get a few lines and do a weekend up there but probably too fay for everyone to drive! sooks lol!

few ideas for pple to think bout!

cheeeerz

    • Also, I logged some data from the ECU for each session (mostly oil pressures and various temps, but also speed, revs etc, can't believe I forgot accelerator position). The Ecutek data loads nicely to datazap, I got good data from sessions 2, 3 and 4: https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-2?log=0&data=7 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-3?log=0&data=6 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-4?log=0&data=6 Each session is cut into 3 files but loaded together, you can change between them in the top left. As the test sessions are mostly about the car, not me, I basically start by checking the oil pressure (good, or at least consistent all day). These have an electrically controlled oil pump which targets 25psi(!) at low load and 50 at high. I'm running a much thicker oil than recommended by nissan (they said 0w20, I'm running 10w40) so its a little higher. The main thing is that it doesn't drop too far, eg in the long left hand fish hook, or under brakes so I know I'm not getting oil surge. Good start. Then Oil and Coolant temp, plus intercooler and intake temps, like this: Keeping in mind ambient was about 5o at session 2, I'd say the oil temp is good. The coolant temp as OK but a big worry for hot days (it was getting to 110 back in Feb when it was 35o) so I need to keep addressing that. The water to air intercooler is working totally backwards where we get 5o air in the intake, squish/warm it in the turbos (unknown temp) then run it through the intercoolers which are say 65o max in this case, then the result is 20o air into the engine......the day was too atypical to draw a conclusion on that I think, in the united states of freedom they do a lot of upsizing the intercooler and heat exchanger cores to get those temps down but they were OK this time. The other interesting (but not concerning) part for me was the turbo speed vs boost graph: I circled an example from the main straight. With the tune boost peaks at around 18psi but it deliberately drops to about 14psi at redline because the turbos are tiny - they choke at high revs and just create more heat than power if you run them hard all the way. But you can also see the turbo speed at the same time; it raises from about 180,000rpm to 210,000rpm which the boost falls....imagine the turbine speed if they held 18psi to redline. The wastegates are electrically controlled so there is a heap of logic about boost target, actual boost, delta etc etc but it all seems to work well
    • hahah when youtube subscribers are faster than my updates here. Yes some vid from the day is up, here:  Note that as with all track day videos it is boring watching after the bloopers at the start.  The off was a genuine surprise to me, I've literally done a thousand laps around the place and I've never had instability there; basically it rolled into oversteer, slipped, gripped and spat me out. On the way off I mowed down one of the instructor's cones and it sat there all day looking at me with accusing cone eyes as I drove past. 1:13:20 was my fastest lap, and it was in the second session, 3rd lap.  It (or me!) got slower throughout the day as it got hotter.      
    • It sounds like you want what the Toyota Landcruisers have for their roof racks. Wanna know what you end up with? Rust holes in the roof, and water everywhere...
    • Discovered today that if I select reverse first and take my foot off the brake, then select drive, the drive indicator light works and so does the tiptronic gear indicator. 
    • 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 maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Does anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
