Looks good. I might be there. I'll just have to see if i can suss out some new tyres n get them on the car before then. (mine are bald/almost bald:P)

Luckily enough the missus is otherwise engaged as well :cool:

Sorry guys but we can't come now :down: We have to go to Rocky for Grandma's 90th birthday.

We were really looking forward to it too. It would have been great to meet some people on here. And I was going to make cup cakes for everyone - which would have gone well with Myles' fairy bread :)

Hopefully someone plans another one soon so we can come to that.

So disappointed ;)

Depends on how long everyone decides to stay for: chances are there'll still be a few of us there.

I'll pm everyone with contact details for Myles and myself in the near future: give one of us a call once you've finished work: we'll let you know what's going on... By the way, where are you located??

Hey all!

I'm keen to come and the date is almost perfect, except that is the day that I have to start work after two weeks holiday.......

But I dont' start till 12.

So I was thinking I could come down for the first leg of the cruise to Nerang, and then head back to Brizzy in time to start work.

So unfortunately I won't be able to make it for the whole cruise and bbq :-( But atleast I will be able to come for a little bit and see a few local stags and meet there owners.

It's a pitty DarrenSpencer can't make it cos I was hoping to see his machine in the flesh. But I'm keen to see a few others and have a chat with y'all, especially Greenghost's as I think yours is a bayside blue RS as well?

Anyway is there a Brizzy crew meeting somewhere or should I just head straight down?

Also my mate might wanna come along either with me or in his 180. Was jsut wondering if there was any descrimination agaisnt the 180 tagging along? ;-)

Look forward to it anyway,

Cheers.

Hey dave. Where abouts do you live. I was thinking for at least the northside guys n girls we could meet at DFO near the Airport then go either straight over the Gateway (taking note that its all etoll now) or go down the highway then towards the city along Kingsford Smith Drive, take the ICB then Riverside Express Way and then onto the Pacific Motorway. N pick up the Southside guys on the way.

I'm in Norman park, so I could go either gateway or straight on to the pacific.

I spose it might be easier to catch you somwhere if you were coming through the ICB rather than if your heading straight down the gateway.

I'm easy though, if I set off around the same time I'll probably catch ya's along the way.

:D

Cheers,

Is there a decent place to meet up on the southside near u mate? i belive there are a couple of guys on the south side so perhaps it would be better to meet some where on the southside. i dont know the south side well.

cant u call in sick for that day

Yeah would be good to be able to do the whole cruize and hang out for a bit. But can't really chuck a sickie, it's work I wanna do as well. I'm working a few days in the brisbane festival, so missing out on that one day is kinda like missing out on a weeks work.

As for a central Brizzy meeting point close to me; it's probably easier if we meet somehwere further south, save having to have several meeting points on the way to the meeting point ;-)

"Springwood Maccas or thereabouts & then head south?" Sounds good to me.

Cheers,

Dave-

I think that woks for most guys even those in viccy point or whatever, proberly about as far south side as your goin to get... and then those guys like me can go up old Cleveland road and get on the highway after chandler sports centre....(theres an idea, meet at sleemans sports centre then get onto the highway through mt gravatt-capalaba road..) otherwise we can just all meet around the springwoods are4a somewhere.

Im ormiston, so i guess that pretty south-eastish as i think we have on this cruuise.

Allright Brissy boys i think Springwood Maccas is the place to meet.

(This is the one you guys were refering to yeh?)

I think probs meet round 7:00 to leave at about 7:15.

Then hopefully get to Coomera BP at 7:45 - 8:00 at the latest.

All in favor/All apposed.

    • Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that 
    • Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

If you would like to attend or bring others along please put your name down and a +1 as numbers will be needed prior! This is NOT a race and we will all be adhering to all road rules. If this is what you want please come to one of our many track days. This is an official SAU:NSW event and will be run under a CAMS permit.

    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
    • While I was waiting for the new parts to come in for the charge pipe and radiator I decided to do some turbo modification. The drive pressure (exhaust backpressure) was a lot higher that I thought it should be. For 32lbs of boost drive was 55lbs. The turbine housing is a 1.10AR and my turbo builder has suggested to go to a 1.25AR. To test if a larger AR would do anything to reduce drive pressure AND not spend any money I decided to hog out the divider in my current housing. I removed it from the inlet and the whole way through the housing.  After reassembly and testing it doesn't look like this modification did anything for reducing drive pressure or requiring more fuel (making more power). Oh well, it was worth a shot. We'll get some data at the track if it makes it past the 60ft. I also machined a $7 shift knob off Amazon to fit my Stillway shifter since I didn't like the Stillway shift knob. Next on the list was the radiator replacement and fabrication of a new intercooler tube that had no silicon coupler. No pictures of this - I was short on time each night after work to get this done and didn't stop to take pictures.  Next was to get the clutch disks out and replaced. Previously when installing the dogbox I had ordered a set of the same sintered iron disks I had been running because I switched to the 26-spline input shaft. I thought it was odd that they didn't have any markings or brand name on them like all my old disks had but installed them anyway. At the track I could not get the clutch to lock up using my normal strategies. After two track nights I reached out to the clutch manufacturer and ask their thoughts. They said they had to switch the material out because they were having trouble getting the original material and that this new material would not take to being slipped very well.  So out with the first set of 26-spline disks and in with the correct material 26-spline disks. While I had the trans out I added an inspection/service hole. I've wanted one of these for a while. Now I can have a look at things and change the front cover shimming when needed (clutch wear). I hustled and got the clutch change done in a few hours on a Saturday. Hopped in the car and drove home. On the way home I did a 1-3 pull. When shifting from 2nd to 3rd the core plug in the back of the cylinder head popped out and dumped all the coolant. Thankfully I was only 30 seconds from home and coasted it there. Datalog showed nothing unusual and 2.5psi of coolant pressure. That plug has been in there since 1992 but I guess it worked its way out. Pulled the trans AGAIN and replaced the plug, JB welded it in, and made a brace. Also deleted the head drain I had added in during the bearing issue fiasco.  I am currently changing my boost control plumbing to make it cleaner. After that is done I'll make another attempt at getting past the 60.
