It was good cruise and good turnout. I was driving my gold 180sx but I wish I am driving a r34 or r35 gtr lols. :D

Anyways anyone have some picture of cruise?

Hey mate...your 180 looked and sounded nice....welcome to SAU

Hahah well said nathan....

Ryan you're one of the regulars on here that I still haven't caught up with, do you come out on the cruises much?........you should come out with the fellas & their exotics next time we go out again. I'm probably the only Skyline out there but you get a few boats occasionally with massive V8's

yeah no worries bud I know what you mean, my car felt like a Datsun 1600 (value wise) amongst the European stuff.....either way we'll probably catch up on an SAU cruise no doubt

we can call it the "more than you can afford asshole exotic cruise" presented by sled :D nah im sure they nice guys and we all like to dream we can afford these cars 1 day when were rich.

welcome to our world sled how you think we feel when you roll up on a custom motorbike head home half way and then return with the most expensive car on the cruise :) well we feel just fine, and sit there staring hypnotized at it but thats not the point or maybe it was.

y what did charlie sheen do this time :D

note the name change "inline 6" cause i like to keep things straight

im just obserbant everytime you bring your car out theres 20 odd people standing around it for 20mins looking like this :D might have something to do with the fact your driving more money that what i will have in my retirement fund

o and the above was refuring the the fast n furious comment if you didnt pick up on that

I was referring to your name change and was wondering if that was the only thing you were changing......now stop making me whore this thread!!

Hey peeps,

Good cruise thanks everyone for waiting for me, i felt special!! Even tho some people at my school thought the r34 was a WRX and the rx-7 was a 180sx lol but everyone was talkin about it yesterday, so cool.

yeah sorry bout that ryan the message must of come through a little to late! Yeah from arndale through to outer harbour was a bit iffy got stuck at 3 sets of lights luckily new the route and caught up with a few. I think we went to sacred heart coz one of the boys from the forums/club had a formal there and we were waiting for 10:30??? for some strange reason.

and khali we just did it to look at the other girls that came out of the formal lmao (well rotaboy did ahahaha)

"SKYLINE POWER"

im keen for the hills too. organise something jenkies. me and rad might have a bbq this weekend, well keep you all posted..

sounds awesome!! i love sausage!! :P

I told mark that we would to a cruise for him and do chain of ponds and all that fun stuff but its not for beginers

when i hear chain of ponds i get twitchy like tweak of southpark.... these roads are heavily patrolled nowdays so there is alot to consider(be safe at all times).... stay in your lane!, gravel and oil can make things very hairy within a second, so eyes peeled for road conditions.... sterios off! you need to be able to hear what the roads and your tires and your car is doing.

^^^these are the things that would run through my head before i went up back in the day... pity i havnt been able to make aquantences with these roads in some time.

roads that are nice: up past the gully hotel,ansties hill,gorge,chain of,montacute and everything inbetween

thats my spill for the day

    • 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
