Back to the top!

Any update on possible plans?

Earlier its started means the further we could go.

North or South?

Up and down Tambo, followed by Springbrook perhaps?

Or even driving the hills of Nebo/Glorious and then out to the Dams?

Already done all except Springbrook in the Stagea. Good fun :D

PS. Does anyone else have an S-Tune? Or am I the only one......

Still finalising the drive: will be Gold Coast based,more than likely.

I am in Sydney until next week, so will do a final recce and guage opinions then.

Looks llike being a good day!

like 66yo

ANYwhere, ANYtime :P

Someone has to rep up the 260s :)

Met a few other stagea brothers and sisters that aren't on the forums here, ill see if they are interested :)

cant wait!

ps.. if there are 2 dodgy dattos following me... i did my best to get rid of them! :(

Down Numinbah to Natural Arch is a nice cruise.

I need to know the date asap. I'm a lazy old basrard and need to book the Stag in for a full detail. She looks really worn ATM and I would be ashamed to turn up with her looking so bad.

Ok, people: 24th Feb it is. As Hugh suggested, the Numinbah/Natural arch drive is a nice one: fun, but not too challenging, and there are some nice picnic areas out that way where we can stop for lunch. If anyone wants to meet in the morning, I'm up for an early cruise around, then we can meet the rest around 12pm-1pm and cruise to Natural Arch for some lunch and a chat. After thatwe can head back to civilisation and either disburse, or go for a drink, or whatever. I'm back on the Coast now, so I'll go for a couple of runs myself to confirm that the drive is still good (anyone is welcome to join for 'evaluation purposes':huh: ), but that looks like being it. How is the 12-1 pm meeting time for those only able to make afternoon? Given that the majority of you are from Brisbane, I suggest the afternoon meet to be at Coomera BP, as there is plenty of parking, unless someone has a better suggestion?

Cheers,

Micah

That's great and unfortunate at the same time! Congatulations!

Not to worry: We Qlders have been a wee bit slack with the get-togethers: I have an ambition to have a quarterly meet, as the guys and girls I've met so far are a good crew, and there's enough new people popping up that we should have at least 1 or 2 Newbies each meet (hopefully!).

So, irrespective of the level of success we see with this Meet (but it's all looking quite good at this stage), I will be looking to have another sometime around June, when the turbo-friendly weather is here :banana:

Hi all

And thanks whooby

that wood make it exit 54 I hope. I will be at surfers paradise that weekend.

I have rung Charly (red stagea 1st cruise) and he is a maybe

Layton (dark green) may not make it as he has football.

Going to toowoomba this weekend to see Jeff (white stagea) this will be his 1st cruise if he can make it

cheers

Shaping up quite nicely! Whereis.com.au doesn't tell you what exit number you are taking! You won't be able to miss the HUUUUGE Dreamworld and BP signs, though! I'll edit and post the exit number shortly...

    • 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! 🤣  
    • This is what the look like normally. Except we only got the 2 doors locally
