the natural arch has a few bumps, but ive never had a problem, my cars lowered an doesnt have a prob, mates soarer is low as front lip barely off the ground and he is right, just 1 part gotta slow down at.

o'reillys is bad as, especially up the top, i bottom out +traffic of buses an vans is a nightmare havin 2 go off road to avoid them in 1 lane sections

well this natural arch sounds good, ive never been there..

if i was you guys id pick a meet from the below points mapped via where is.

southport. natural bridge, murwillumbah nsw, tweed heads, and end up somewhere like the spit or somewhere we can catch up and chat.

Itsa good run down the back of the mount most people dont normally calculate.

just my 2c's

Edited by coaster

yeahh that sounds good coaster, sorry about not gettin back to u about today i had a busy ass day. plus my car isnt really going well with the f**ked auto. doing the manual conversion next week!! woo loll. yeah your 2c sounds pretty good aye. i would be happy with that. just gota know if everyone else is happy with that.

Yea sounds like a good run to me! i wen out to the natural arch yesterday and its an awesome drive and the roads are pretty good. anyone decided on a date yet? lol i just hope i havnt sold my car before this happens!

im thinking in a couple weeks. if u want a set date i would say either the 17th of may or 24th of may. which one would suit better for everyone? i ll have my conversion easily done by then so i should be sweet with any of them.

either or should be ok for me. i dont work sundays but my partner is on some stupid roster at work (retail) where for 1 month she gets sun and mon off, and then the next month she has sat and mon off. when exact dates are confirmed ill be able to suss out for sure if ill be there or not. when she is working on sundays i have my little girl at home with me so its not as easy to go for all day cruises :)

Im new to the coast so i would be keen to go for a cruise and meet people, ill only be in a N/A, not the flashest car :D .

I dont know the roads up here really, what are you guys looking at, something with lots of corners, or open straights, im from down in country NSW so am missing all the corners.

Harley.

Hey guys, ive been dying to go on a decent cruise ever since i got my line so im definatley up for it. aslong as im not gonna bottom out all the time then i dont care where ay. Plus im currently unemployed so the sooner the better for me :P

sounds good guys. my manual conversion is underway and be done by this wekened so i should be sweet after this weekend at the latest.

gettin alot of interest on this cruise. should be good.

so ive been thinkin we start it at mobile nerang Youngen (GtrVspec)?

  • 2 weeks later...

sounds good streetfame33

and not soo good Damit that sucks mate

about the cruise, im trying to get my car figured out at the moment lol, its not running at its best at all. if anyones done a auto to manual conversion on the R33's help would be much appriciated. just having problems with power.

but yeh anyways im thinking to be safe would 31st of may be any good to anyone? sorry to put it off but least then we can get the actual numbers and plan where this cruise starts and finishes. so if your keen for that date please say you are.

cruise will start off at Nerang mobile (which is next to Nerang Fair) and we will go up to natural arch and have a bbq lunch and then head back down to the coast for another meeting place before people either want to go home or come to the spit. if there is anyone who is a decent photographer feel free to bring a camera, be good for photos to go up on the site.

cheers

Brendan

    • That's kind of what I was getting at saying you'd be here soon regarding length etc being able to add additional restriction.  My assumption (possible donkeys of you and mption) is that the length of hose to an oil cooler, and back, isn't going to be that huge of a loss. Typically you're talking about 1.5m of total length. And so far everyone in our world hasn't had issues with oil not being able to get to a cooler and back, it's more been, how the heck do we get the oil out of the head and back down to the bottom? I'd nearly hazard a guess the biggest issue people have with oil cooling and oil supply, is being able to get the heat out at the cooler itself (not enough air flow, too small of a cooler etc) Also, when people mount them wrong and make really awesome air traps so they've dramatically diminished the cooling capacity.
    • I will rebutt this and the preceding point from Dose....but without doing any calcs to demonstrate anything and without knowing that I am right or wrong. But... The flow capacity of a fluid transfer system is not limited by the smallest orifice or section of conduit in that system, unless it is drastically smaller than the rest of the system. OK, I use the word drastically perhaps with too much emphasis, but let's drill down on what I really mean. The flow capacity of the system is the result of the sum of the restrictions of the entire system. So, to make an extreme example, if you have a network with 3" pipe everywhere (and let's say a total length of only a few metres) and that 12mm ID restriction of the oil filter connection being the obvious restriction, then for any given amount of pressure available, the vast majority of all the pressure drop in the system is going to occur in the 12mm restriction. But.... increase the length of the 3" pipeline to, say 1000m, and suddenly the pipe pressure loss will likely add up to either be in the same order of magnitude, possibly even exceeding that of the 12mm restriction. Now the 12mm restriction starts to matter less. Translate this to the actual engine, actual oil cooler hose sizing, etc etc, and perhaps: The pressure loss caused by flowing through the narrow section (being the 12mm oil filter port, and perhaps any internal engine oil flow pathways associated with it) is a certain number. The pressure loss through, say, -12 hoses out to the cooler and back is negligible, but The pressure loss through -10 hoses out to the cooler, at the exact same length as the above, starts to become a decent fraction of the loss through the 12mm stuff at the filter port. Maybe even it starts to exceed it. I could actually do these calcs if I knew 1) how much oil was actually flowing in the line, 2) gave enough of a f**k to do things that I hate doing for work, voluntarily for a hypothetical discussion. Anyway - I reiterate. It's not the narrowest port that necessarily determines how much it can all flow. It is the sum. A long enough length of seemingly fat enough pipe can still cause more loss than a semmingly dominant small bore restriction.
    • To pick up what Dose is putting down. Not a lot of point running a huge hose if the motor is still restricted to the smaller size... It's only capable of flowing so much at that point...   *Waits for GTSBoy to come in and bring in the technicalities of length of pipe, and additional restriction from wall friction etc etc*
    • Hooley Dooley these things have some history! If i sell them they will need a certificate of providence to prove they have been in the hands of verified RB20 royalty! They have been stored in a plastic tub, away from sunlight and moisture. They are in mint condition. And they will stay that way, as i have sprung the money for a set of shockworks coilovers. I'm just working on getting them in at the moment, after rebushing the rear of the car, and while the subframe was out i welded in the GKtech reinforcement bracing as well.  They will get a workout at Ararat King of The Hill in November. I ran 48s on the short course there a few months ago, and i am hoping with new bushes and shocks in the rear i can launch a bit harder. There was a fair bit of axle tramp when i tried too hard off the line. a few of the corners had dips mid way which also made the car feel a bit unsettled, hopefully this will help there too.
