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

    • Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.  
    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
