Hi everyone I just thought I'd let you know that I made the trip down to Gladstone for the Motokhana but unfortunately it had been cancelled.:) Bugger, but anyway I thought I'd just tell you about an interesting thing I saw. On the way down we went past a group of imports that looked like they were on their way up to Rocky, maybe for the cruise or something else, this was about 12.30. Anyway the group consisted of a few 300's a S13, a few R32 and a few R33. So I was shocked when I was on my way back again at about 2.00 when we past the red 300 with a bick wing heading back again I was like What? Then we cam accross all of the cars pulled over and talking. It looked like they had been pulled over by a cop .:P

So I gotta wonder what they did to still be sitting there over an hour later. I don't know exactly what was happening, but I reckon it would be interesting to find out from anyone who knows.

Yeah the cruise was Awsome... I had a blast and I stuck to the speed limit... most of the time...

There was 3 Gtr's, 2 silvias, 1 33gts-t, 1 32 Gts-t, 1 MX-6, 1 Cordia and a Clubsport... 10 Cars... and it was a blast... there are heaps of photo's getting around and generally we just chatted and had fun... JR you could have added to our crew but I understand that SBS is good watching... speedweek is a top show for a bit of lower budget racing stuff...

And Garth that is too bad about the Motokhana being cancelled... oh well they will just have to have one up here... I am sure all the local imports will be there to have some legal fun... can we drift? or is there a few rules for safetys sake... just it would be awsome to have a few GTR's there, some sideways S13 action... maybe even jay could punt around in the fastest taxi in rocky...

tell us when it is going to be next in rocky and we will put it in the Garage Spank calander... it's definatly on my to do list...

There hasn't been to much tech conversations on here lately so...

This is a discussion and it is open to all with an opinion... state it openly and wisely... don't just say it is... give reasons...

What is better

a three inch Stainless exhaust or a 3 inch mild steel... just I am thinking of upgrading my exhaust and I am wondering about the advantages... it's just with mild steel I could replace my exhaust 3 times for the price of one stainless system... and what if I rip it off or something... maybe the mild steel is the go... can anyone think of any good reasons why flow would be better or is it just wank factor??

Yeah but the problem with that car is that he has bad blowby and the dipstick has to be held in with a piece of tape. POS!:upurs: [/b]

Yeah valid point,

But that POS as you call it also ran 170rwhp on a pretty hot day.

So what does you 323 run at the wheels. POS.

Man that is a small skyline in your picture dev. That s13 beside it looks pretty small too............. Dan dunno is marge would fit in on the cruises to the beach, would have loved to come down but. Might just have to get even bigger spotties on the front for the roos on the way home. I will have to get mark to hook me up with a pair, like the ones he will get on his ute.

    • 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.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
    • Yeah - I mean, go the other way. Smaller range. Not larger.
    • To re-cap, I bought: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8G-Infiniti-Q50-Q60-2014_1601171829627.html?spm=a2756.trade-list-buyer.0.0.2cd476e9FTIlKE As you can see, if I bought 20 it was $653, but I bought 1 so it was $1,170. I was very tempted to buy 2 and resell 1 at 25% cheaper. @MBS206, I am not sure if they do a Kluger one, here is their list but it might be there under a global model name: http://www.lsailt.com/product/android-interface?page=1 Keep in mind these full android replacements have basically all the bits a phone does (cpu, ram, storage, wifi, bluetooth, usb interfaces) other than a screen (it uses a host), thus the $800+ cost. Android Auto screen mirroring is MUCH cheaper as it's just a cut down shell, input mirroring and output mirroring BTW I also need that "screen off" feature, it is much harder to see wildlife even if a dash is reasonably dark. Both the Fuga and V37 have display off buttons for night use, they just come back on for a second or 3 if you interact with it, eg skip a song.
