was good cruise good fun. didnt go down at 6 to c if any one missed the change of plan :( where do we all wona go for the next 1? sunday arvo seems to work well for a fair few people with enough notice!... :laugh:...

Hey Guys,

Was a great day for a cruise, weather turned out to be fantastic and Nene got some great shots of the cars. Didnt get a chance to chat to everyone so we definitely have to do it again!

My vote is to start at a similar place again and head to mannum through chain of ponds and birdwood, its an awesome drive with some fun roads! My thoughts would be to start around 10:30ish, and take our time and have lunch in mannum. Its a straigh forward run, i use to do it in an hour towing my jet ski! Who would be in for that?

And how tough is the pic of 3 black 260's! :sleep:

I can make it to birdwood in 11 minutes from my house. AHEM.

May i lead this next cruise? know the roads like i know my umm.... anyway.

Starting at same location and leaving around 10:30 is a great idea. Making it a saturday would ensure less traffic coming up the hill too.

I'm thinking newton - birdwood for a stop, then onto mannum for lunch(looong roads to stretch the legs), back down the freeway with a wind down eagle on the hill for a finish in the early arvo?? I'll start a new thread tonight.

Dunno if i could handle FOUR black Rs260s :/

Nigel.

4 black 260's and a white one as well!! :D

One of the black ones being a series 2 also :D Would be good to see your car again Craig.

BTW Nene, jet came home. Everyone happy. :/

Your photos look awesome nene! very artistic eye you have there....me and you should organise the next photography cruise together :/

Im thinking my next cruise i organise, all stags are welcome too btw lol, maybe head down murray bridge or something different like that.

See what people think?

Btw the shots i took of your stag have turned out great :D

i took some pics of mine after the cruise... are mine artistic? :rofl::D

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
