Yeh, it can be fair evil at night, especially if theres been rain recently, it'll be all dry then some corners will have big patches of wet on them, and the corners have a habit of coming out of nowhere

Great road though and i normally go up at around 2am to avoid traffic (any other time i get stuck behind like 6 caravans that don't understand what a pull-in is)

I'm planning one on nov 3rd, 4th or 5th, have a few cars coming (the day that i can actually drive my gtr) so far if you don't get any interest, will probably be late at night though to avoid traffic

Edited by GTAAAH

me an a group use to go up in the summer, late at night for mountain runs up an back

the road surface is really good, but it is very dark......

i have seen people lose control and crash on that road

some parts of the roads are very narrow, you must watch out for on coming cars an trucks ( an yes even, at that time of night)

if you know your car, then take it for a run. but if you dont then take it easy, an enjoy the nice roads an corners

OVERALL

a very good place to go a drive / run

you can pull some really good G's around some corners :rolleyes:

thats all i wanna do go for a nice drive on a nice road. im not going up to push the limits of my car around corenrs iv never been through before.

anywhose if you interested in coming we will most likely meet up at brandon park business center around 11ish leaving by 11:30 but ill update the first post so look out for any changes

hey guys

myself and dilmah will be heading up to the black spurs friday night around 11pm. if theres enough interest i can post up a time and meet point for others to join us.

iv never been there before so will be taking it easy but if you have and would like to give it a squirt and have fun come down.

thanks

Ash :thumbsup:

Sound good,

At this stage, i'm in, as long as you drive nice and easy so i can catch up in my 1.3 lt gt turbo :).

its a good quick smooth road but dangerous for newbies especially at night. I think ambulance corner still has oil on the road going back towards healesville so take it easy. I ride my bike up there during the week and should be up there on friday during the day either in the car or on the bike im not sure yet.

Hi Ashneel!

I used to be on fastmagna a few years back!... long live the astron!

for this mini cruise, if its pissing down it would be crazy to do it...

an alternate run up to kinglake is ALOT safer... maybe use it as a backup?

even in the wet the kinglake run is safe.

in the dry the spur is magical

i will pencil myself in. plus a few mates.

Mag86 (worked U12 Pintara-2-tone burgundy/grey)

Nomad. (r31 psykline-purple, white 17")

Fuzzter (off its nuts GC8 WRX-green )

i will also be bringing a CB radio... very handy for relaying messages/warnings

PM me your number and i will SMS my details etc for updates?

hey mate i dont know the kinglake run

i wouldnt mind doing that tomorrow also. i was gonna scrap this now cause the weather aint looking good tomorrow at all but if kinglake yuou say is still good int he wet we cans till do it but would you be happy to lead???

ill pm you my number

i dunno guys i don't think its a good idea to go on a cruise where everyone (meaning cops) knows the time and place.

better to meet somewhere and then organize the destination.

lol what??

either way we will have to post up a time and place to meet.

dont worry bout ti dude. only way cops will notice you is if you make them notice you. lay low and no stupid behaviours and you will be all good.

just waiting for a repy from MAG86

i dont know how to get to kinglake so if he can lead us there will be all good unless theres someone else here who knows how to get there.

also my car is still at RE customs. was hoping to get it back today but they said tomorrow. so ill have to wait and hear from them also

Hey guys. I'd be down if the weather is ok, althought I've done it when it was absolutely drenched but it was early morning and you could see which way the road was turning. Please PM if this is still all go tomorro night.

Thanks

moe

    • Well it wasn't as easy as I thought.... and it also wasn't in my original manual which I did end up finding. They discuss the process in the Nismo catalogue though and it requires slight machining. Page 145.  NISMO PARTS CATALOGUE 2020
    • I'm an idiot, my intercooler is rated for 1000hp. I had clicked on the wrong product. Knowing the delta P would be nice, but I'm doubtful I'll do it. Now as for an EMAP, that would be great and I'll get around to it eventually but from my findings in my last post, I'm considering a turbo swap now. 
    • You sir, big win tonight. Precision never supplied compressor maps in the past and Idk when they started, but it seems they only offer for a few of the older gen2's which is exactly what I have. I punched in some numbers and seem to have gone with the wrong turbo. 600-700whp isn't in the most efficient area and is close to the choke line. 800whp is well off the map. Punching the numbers into a 68mm gen2 turbo map is bang on in the center. Here I was thinking going smaller would shift the power band down, but in reality it would just make it so much worst due to my rev limit. I would have never thought. 
    • Increasing overlap will bring the torque down earlier (and make your idle sound sick lol). Worth a shot (if you dyno time) to experience a bit (providing you are confident your valves won't kiss your pistons). Is to just take off 5 degrees across the boosted area of the map, and then retard the exhaust cam let's say, 3 degrees at a time and then overlay all the runs with VCT on all the way and VCT off as soon as you make positive pressure. Ideally you would have a total of 6x overlays to looks at 0 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve 0 exhaust & VCT on all the way -5 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve -5 exhaust & VCT on all the way -10 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve -10 exhaust & VCT on all the way Just leave your O2 wideband closed loop on for all of the boost area & RPM, and hopefully there isn't too much fuel correction needed and the Haltech is fast enough to compensate (I do this, then apply the correction to the main table). Getting that overlay data should give you a good indication of what to aim for.
    • So, my main limitation here is that the car does not have an oil pressure sensor by default, just a switch. As part of my tune I bought an oil pressure sensor upgrade so I now have access to oil pressure levels and logging rather than just the boolean behaviour of the switch but this means I need to use the tuning app to display this value. So, this rules out using any other app on the iPad. The app will also flash when pressure drops which is a nice feature. I have replaced the centre screen with an Android one, which is awesome for Android Auto, but I think it might be too far away and out of my line of sight. I might add some gauges to it this weekend and just see. I guess if its just temp and oil pressure I can make them massive! 🤣
