Ok people, it's around that time again! I've been chatting with a few of you, and there's plenty of interest, so let's work something out...

I'll get this frst post updated to reflect confirmed details, but in the meantime, here's the rough plan:

Early morning - meet at the Gold Coast Coomera BP or Mudgeeraba Shell (someone from Brisbane can work out earlier northern meet points to coincide). We drive south to Byron bay/Murwillumbah (the old raods were a great drive, but I will need to do a recce run to confirm their condition), with a short stop for refreshments and fuel (Byron BP would be a logical choice).

From there, we take some nice back roads North to the Gold Coast (using parts of the route from my first meet: great roads!), and terminate at Southport for a Bbq/chitchat/drinks at GreenGhost's place (thanks Myles!) which has plenty of parking (it's in an industrial estate) in the early afternoon.

Dates will need to be negotiated, and the route/destinations can be altered as required: I know it's a hike for the Brissie folk...

I'm thinking early August, but what do you guys think? It would be really good to have Darrinspencer's car at this one, so I'd like to make it coincide with the completion of his project...

Our last few meets have been pretty good, but have come apart a little at the endpoint: I figure if we have a private property to go to, we're not going to be fighting for bbqs and car spots like we have on the other meets, and since we went North last time, it'll make a nice change... This way, for a small cost per person, we can have food and refreshments ready to go...

Date: locked in by Micah as Sunday the 20th of September, 2009

Time:

  • 8.00am for an 8.20am departure.

Meeting point:

  • Coomera BP service station

Route:

Nothing like some pressure!!

Will be ready by the end of August for the VW Jamboree, so maybe early September for a meet??

I would definately be interested, if its hapnin mid september I can make it. Won't be back in the country till then. I got friends down in mullum and my GF's beetle is being worked on down there so could coincide with it being ready to be picked up.

Would love to make it along anyways-

:-)

Ok: 20/09/09 it is! Mods: please get my post title to reflect this.

I'll need confirmations to include the number of passengers/kids coming with attendees, so we can organise the Bbq and drinks.

    • They are, a good friend of mine bought one to replace his blow factory turbo, running a Toshi Tune reflash. Just use their supplied water/oil lines and you're good to go. At the time, they were like $900 delivered.
    • This is an option for 100% bolt on, the GCG high flow -  https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html Also, I'm pretty sure hypergear does a high flow that is 100% bolt on, it just doesn't make as much power as their bigger high flows.  Even if you get a hypergear turbo that requires you to chance the intake piping, it is a really simple modification. It can be as simple as a piece of silicon hose and you pop a filter on the end. It doesn't have to be some crazy pie cut titanium work of art intake pipe.  If you have the ability to swap the turbo yourself, you would be able to sort the intake piping out. 
    • Just as a thought, if it's in neutral, thats your drive line disconnect, not the clutch. Clutch slip at the dyno with pedal fully out, is actually adding a second disconnect. So it's not a clutch issue if you're in neutral. Just a bit of friction dragging the output around while in the air.
    • The HG high flow is excellent, and costs about the $$ you're talking about. But it, and probably every other highflow, uses a diffeent core than the original turo, and the original Hitatchi core is quite long. So, I think it is inevitable that there is likely no such thing as a highflow that just "bolts on" with no other effort required. And the same is likely true for HG's outright replacement "bolt on" turbos (the ATR things). And the same is likely true for anything similar from elsewhere. I have no idea if the cheap Chinese/Taiwanese complete turbos from eBay/Temu/etc are as bolt on as they claim. I mean, they claim the bolt onto the NAs as well as the turbos, and we know that can't be "bolt on". But it wouldn't matter because I'm not buying a $169 4 psi turbo for anything other than a paddock basher.
    • Bummer...yeah i "need" something to "ease" up the work and for my driving it would be enough.    Iam counting the tune "without" turbo. I do not mean "cheap" like something from Temu around 200 USD, "Cheap" is something around 1000 USD?
