Yeh agree with ya there it was good turn out.

At west lakes where i park was a good spot, until the ferals came with vl's. they had rust every where and smoke pouring out their exhausts.

Not diss'n them because did you see the clean vl. the engine bay was clean enough to eat off

that candy apple red VL is awesome... love the paint on it.

loads of shit cars tho, but PLENTY of hot ones to go with it. saw heaps of cars with SAU stickers too and one 33 was trying to give me a run at the lights lol.

I bailed from the cruise around lonsdale way then went home via cherry gardens road, had a good run home with no traffic or cops.. but when i got to nairne a car passed me, then did a U bolt and pulled me over, was an undercover, their reason for pulling me over was that one of my headlights had blown out. anyway did an RBT, then the cop looks over my car, popped bonnet and all. he spent aggggges looking under the intake manifold for the turbo until i pointed out where it actually was. he asked if it was a factory turbocharged car and so i said yes. and he DIDNT defect me! champs!

Average cruise, but turn out was awesome.

I bailed at West Lakes, cbf standing around waiting for everyone :)

Decided to go for a drive up through mount lofty with that white AE92 Trueno, man that thing handles so well.

Good turnout.

some nice cars.

but the stop at gepps cross was too long. and the west lakes one was too long. so headed thru city with 5 ppl in my car. I was alittle nervous.

to be honest I would rather go on a smaller cruise, was all over the shop.

yo

*flick* here - mr rbman, im so sorry i forgot to msg you! Through is i actually fell asleep from westlakes to moana way lol. 5 days of getting up at 5 am caught up with me.

Nice to see a few familiar faces and catch up for a chat. Cruise was a bit meh, bit all over the place - no time frame for leaving etc, people just did their own thing.

Saw the Boost Worx VL get pulled over after leaving the last spot - that cop flexed it out the carpark after him. Anyone know what happened?

Know a few cars got defected as they were leaving westlakes, which really sucked. Simon you were lucky!!

i know how you feel im up @ 5:30 and quiet often to bed @ 11:30 12 or 12:30 so range from like 6hrs max sleep to 5 or even 4.5hrs :) dunno how i do it sometimes

no probs, i headed up to the shops about 10:45 and ppl were there not long after so i timed it well.

Never been a rotor fan but that baby blue fd was hot!

I attended the Gepps Cross meet point, but bailed out after an hour. Had a 'promise' to keep :P

Was good to see Cara and crew, and a few of the 'familiar' cars. Ran into a few biker friends too LOL

Still, I'm gunna change my sig to "The lonely Stag". Can we get more Stags attending please :)

Yep thats the one. Kid can drive too, i was a bit tentative, first time with the 34 in the hills, had to boost hard to catch up on the straights!!

Yeah the turn out was awesome but the hanging around really sucked esp coz i was in my bf/s supra and not my 33 as its currently getting ready for a paint job and kit.

Would be good if anyone had any pics i forgot my camera or would have takewn some and posted em:)

was good to see a whole heap of yas (especially at castle plaza)

shaun, martin, simon, the works..................then the meet at west lakes was frickin huuuuuge

if anyone couldnt pick it, i was in the ute for the night as the 31 is still in hiding (need some more SAU stickers for the ute as my main one is non visible anymore)

anyone get pics?

Yeah, Jarrad and Kat are friends of mine. Adelaide is a small place.

Normally they can be found on bikes, same as myself. Funny we turned up at the same spot without bikes. :P

Thanks for the comps on the Stag. :)

    • As I've said elsewhere, I am using the stock intercooler piping path in the engine bay, and a return flow cooler, and making ~250 rwkW (without any effort put into trying to turn it up past there just yet) and expect to be able to make some more, and frankly, I would be perfectly happy with 260-270rwKW. This is peak road Skyline usability territory. You go past there and, sure, the car will snap necks more when it's on boost, but it will also break shit all the time, cost a (even larger) fortune in tyres, etc etc. Anyway, I also do not like the over-the-fan pipe path, and you don't have to do it.
    • I see, honestly I’m not too fussed about the looks. The only reason to go plenum is to make the piping easier instead of the classic over the rad etc. 
    • Not easy to quantify wrt something like how many fractions of a second slower it would be over 0-100. But given that a 250-300rwkW car is able to do that launch sprint in 5-6 sec (and faster with appropriate tyres, and surface)..... giving up as much as a second would feel like torture. A ~450HP capable turbo is not going to make lots of boost in the 2000-3000 rpm range. So, whilst with some boost on hand it will be faster accelerating in that rev range than your engine currently is NA, it will not feel like a fast car until the boost is solidly in. You know what your car feels like right now when you open it up at 2000rpm. if you've ever been in an actual fast car, you will appreciate that the NARB25 is.... not exciting. Well, add some boost and it will be better. But shorten the intake runners and it might not be better at all. It might come out better, but it could end up feeling the same. For me, it's not the 0-X km/h sprints that matter. It is easy to fry the tyres with anything over 200 rwkW. You can't use all the power available in 1st and 2nd anyway, you have to modulate the throttle. What matters is how the car reacts when you're driving in traffic in 4th or 5th and have maybe 2000 rpm on board, and you want/need to add some speed quickly, and don't have time for the downshift. It won't make boost, it will be all NA (at the speeds we're talking about - remember how fast you're going at 2000 in 4th! and don't plan on breaking the limit by too much.) So giving away NA torque is not what I would consider practical for a street car. And retaining that NA torque builds boost faster which makes the car faster. The flashy plenum is not actually better, unless you're looking at a track car where you can keep it on the boil all the time.  
    • So how much difference does it make you think? Like 1 second in the 0-100?  I was have smaller turbo so hopefully that spools quick GTX2871.  currently it’s NA so you can imagine pretty slow, but I do want fast accusation a little as there’s not many places I’ll be driving where I go over 80 even near me. So 0-60 and 0-80 targets
