I won't be able to confirm till that week unfortunately, but I'll also bring along some meat if I can come?

Sure, if you like, but there will be good meat there: I only get the good stuff! And the cost will be minimal: we're not looking to make money, just cover costs...

If you do decide to bring your own, please let me know when you pm your details, so I know how many we are feeding...

Cheers,

Micah

It's pretty much a foregone conclusion that Coomera BP will be a meeting point: it serves the best fuel down this way, and it's on the way to the Mudgeeraba Shell. We'll start working on meet time once I've done a recce run and worked out where we're driving to.

At this stage we're looking at a relatively early meet, so we can be at Myles' place for lunch. Watch this space for meet times.

Also, I need someone to volunteer to organise the Brisbane side of things (meeting points): it's not absolutely necessary, but I'm sure you guys would prefer to convoy down here....??

Was offering in case you wouldn't have enough, but if you'll easily have enough I'll just chip in the dollars instead!

There is a 99.5% chance I'll be there.

ETA: I don't know Brisbane very well but if anyone from the Sunshine Coast is going to head down then I can meet up with you guys somewhere?

It is going to be good! Stand by for the exact route, but we are going to have a cracker of a drive on this one (no speed limit FTW!). It's got a good mix of curves and straights, and the only b-grade roads are early on, and not that bad anyway... I'll repost when I have plotted the whole lot in whereis.com.

Stay tuned! :P

we might come along to this if it's cool. I just got my Stag last week and we don't know anyone yet but it'd be good to meet a few of you :P

sweet as cant wait to meet u pm me if u need help with and stagea stuff

myles

Ok: I have plotted the course we're taking, but between my lack of computer skills, my fluid damaged laptop, and Google maps, I'm having difficulty getting it to upload properly. Stand by, and I'll get Goldzilla to sort it out ( thanks in advance, Nick! ;) )

The plan is that we meet at Coomera BP by 8am, for a 8.20am departure. That way we have time to get fuel and a feed, if needed. It's a decent length drive, but there's a couple of places we can stop for happy snaps, and to stretch our legs :banana:. I will perform another recce run closer to the actual day to make sure the roads are still good (there are a couple of patches of roadworks at the moment, but they're not too bad)...

Hi All

I think I should be coming along to this if that's okay. Stag arrives here Tuesday, so should most defiantly be a goer for this. Hopefully get to know some of you etc.

If i come, ill be heading from the redlands ..ie the southside, so perhaps i could meet up with the guys coming down from the sunny coast around the logan or mt gravvat area depending on were i get on the highway.

Cheers,

Scott

ah okay, i think i may of seen your car going around, iv seen about 3 locally.. one black, one yellow.. maybe one white.. over the past 12 months..(c34's anyway)

I live in ormiston...suburb inbetween cleveland and wello pt..know it?

    • The fab work can be as simple as a couple of silicon hoses and clamps to the factory piping. 
    • Just sounds like either way you need to do some fab work to get everything to fit, so why limit yourself at that point? If the GCG high flow option is zero effort in and out swap though I'd probably do that. It's almost certainly lowest risk, lowest cost, etc. The HKS GTIII-RS option that Kapr mentioned is laughably expensive for what it is, they charge the exact same for two turbos on the RB26 so their margins are off the charts on that thing.
    • Intake manifold is not a part of the issue. The turbo bolts to the exhaust manifold. That is easy. But close your eyes and picture the physical situation. That is a T3 flange on the manifold and a T3 flange on the turbo. As long as any new turbo has a T3 flange on the exhaust housing, that exhaust housing will bolt to the exhaust manifold. This places the exhaust housing in the same place as the stock one. But now move your mental attention a little further forward. The location of the compressor housing is set by the length of the turbo's core. The stock turbo had a long core. Let's say that it is..... 100mm long. So that would place the compressor housing 100mm forward of the exhaust housing. But a highflow, might well have a centre core that is shorter. Let's say that it is only 70mm long. Now the compressor housing will be 30mm further back in the engine bay than the stock one. This DOES move the turbo's compressor outlet backwards. It also moves the compressor's inlet backwards. You will very likely have to do some work to both the inlet and outlet piping to make everything connect again. I am not say this to make it out to be a bigger deal than it is. I am just pointing out that "bolt on" is sometimes not quite bolt on. The highflow from GCG that Murray linked above (https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html ) uses a core that is the same length as the stock core, and so does not require this extra work. It will look very much like the stock turbo. No-one uses GTR turbos of any flavour (stock, or aftermarket) in a single turbo application on RB20/25. It's not a thing. Yes, people have been putting on GT3076, GTX3076 (and bigger and smaller versions of those) and G30s (of various sizes) onto RB20/25 since forever. But these are not "bolt on". Everything except the 4 bolts to the exhaust manifold change with these. And genuine Garretts are expensive. Non-gen, like Pulsar, etc, are cheaper, variously as good or nearly as good. But still not bolt on. No-one in the right mind would pay for an HKS turbo. Not in this modern day and age. Well, yes, the GCG highflow. You could ask HG what he can do to make the compressor housing sit in the original location. There are surely others doing highflows around the world. And some of the eBay/Temu ones (as reported by Dose) work and don't die. Bit of a lottery though. I would send your turbo to GCG (here in Oz) to be highflowed if you want a trivial no-extra-work option. But seriously, the work required to change inlet and outlet piping is not that hard. That's a boost control problem, not a turbo problem.
    • Thank you all for the replys 🙂 I know that intake would be different but that is one pipe at it is not that hard to get(custom one). I meant mainly bolt to the stock manifold and the turbo elbow. I looked and many sites/forums but they are just "old" with some old HKS turbos from GT-R i guess? What about some Garrets?  Or any other turbo? Is there even a turbo which i can just bolt on? 😄 And yeah i know about that new HKS but that is like 2000k USD without taxes/shipping in here   Iam getting a touch up tune but my "problem" is that on the "not" hot day iam getting peaks around 0,9 bar...and when it was around 15 Celsious i saw peak around 1 bar which is just too much for stock turbo. And of course turbo is old and i like to get some new one for a piece of mind 🙂 
    • I'm working on the assumption that our friend Jasmine here is a Russian (or, possibly Ukrainian) spammer/spambot, based purely on the number of such that I have been having to neuter in the last few weeks. IP address for the OP above was in WA. But that could have been via VPN. Posting at quarter to 4 in the morning is a good sign of being from somewhere in Europe. The last Jasmine that I kicked in the cooch was IP addressed in Ukraine. Even that could have been via VPN, and the bitchbot could have been from Russia, Serbia, China or anywhere. Regardless, was a spambot, so I killed it with fire. The fact that our new friend Jasmine here did not respond in any way to my tart query strongly suggests to me that this OP was just the establishment phase of a user able to be activated for spamming in a week, or 3 or 10.
