oh okay, yea some rather silly overtaking on blind corners by some people!but i welcome that the cruise was still a steady reasonable pace which was awesome!and the olds,well i have spoken to them a few times, and i continue to wonder how they do what they do? the fact they support a scene (imports/drift) that took their son away is rather breath taking! olds, i think i can comment on behalf of everyone, keep up the good work, your very approachable people, and from what i have heard, you support people in any way possible which is something to be proud of! thanks again jonny

^^^ Jonny, why'd you think oh shit? Bit of a late overtake? I got halfway and thought 'oh, f**k'. Safer to keep going then the suddenly brake and cut back in behind him (plus I thought you'd be bring up the rear at a hot pace). Believe me, that move kept my palms well lubricated haha

Now, by boat, you mean my suspension is soft as? Yeah, I need coilovers...

That car accident was the worst bit, split us all up which resulted in my and Mark (blue S15) cruising for the majority of the way to Victor, untill BAM white 32 GTR, Red S13, White S13, and a few others all of a sudden were tagging along.

yeah i had to detour to get some petrol, the other cars followed, time we all turned around and got back on track, u guys must have gone past. was a nice thrash, been forever since ive done that.

all overtaking was fine, nothing sus lol. everyone had a good time.

^^^Were you in the red S14?

I saw Type Vu at the meet spot and was surprised to see Luke Fink on the cruise also.

yeah dude, that was me. vu was only there to get beer. :blush:

Made this quickly. not the best one but meh. Not bad for a quick pan with a handy cam.

Was good cruz guys! The run with the GTRs was excellent as well anytime you GTR guys want to hit a hills run up send us a pm

luke....

Pitty about the car park situation at Victor would have been good to run back to Adelaide in a group well maybe next time...

awsome cruise! hey matty you didnt happen to be filming when i went past you as you were pulled over after the over taking lane were you? :)

nah was waiting for a mate of mine in his RX7 from interstate (looked in my mirror and he wasnt there lol)

Big thanks to everyone who came along and showed their support! Means a lot to me, and no doubt to 'the Olds'.

Everything went pretty well, especially considering the lack of organisation on my part lol...

Hope most enjoyed the route, spewin it was as busy as it was but I certainly wasn't expecting that... would have been nice to get a decent run down into yank & normanville thru that windy hills section but we were held up by many a car who for some reason required 2.5 lanes to negotiate their falcoon wagon down even at only 9.6km/h ??? and somehow it's us who earn the 'bad driver' label ??

Also apologies to everyone for the victor parking situation... yet another thing I definitely didn't forsee as being quite that bad :)

But to those who snagged a park, & stayed for lunch, well done, thank you.

All in all, was a good day, cheers again for all the donations, both time & money...

Special thanks to Nicko & the 'Smooth Garage' boys for sponsoring the cruise, Little bec for helping with donations, Mike Cop for donating his time for the shoot, 'SASLY' for his donation & also a CONGRATS to him for winning the shoot too.

Mark & Jules - We love you guys... your generosity, love & support is second to none.. Our scene wouldn't be the same without you both.

Can't wait for the BSM Cruise, keen as mustard to stretch the GTR's legs (& maybe flex its muscles too) on that one!!

Thanks again, speak soon.

Lindo & Bec

dave, you car is blooooooooody clean! looks like its just off the showroom floor

anyways good little route, sucked about everyone braking up and the lack of parks at victor but ahwell! good to see everyone chipped in aswell

    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
