Looks like I should be able to come, my boss told me I am not going to Townsville.

Scratch that, I got told today that I am now going to Townsville and I'll be away for the 22nd. Bugger!!!

Ok, so here's the issue as I see it: The recce runs aren't so much a problem: I have nothing but time on my hands these days, so I am able to go far and wide to find some good roads if needed, and there's been plenty of offers from you Northern guys to do the same...

The endpoint is important: I've been on a few cruises now, and it's the endpoint that generally makes or breaks them: the last one was good because it was free of any public/crowds, had bathroom facilities, shade, and plenty of seating...

Those of you who were on Darrin's go-karting cruise would agree: the endpoint in that one was great for the same reasons (and it had pluto pups and go karts as well!!)...

I am more than happy to organise another southern run, finishing either at Myles' place again (assuming he's ok with that), or my place.... Alternatively you Northern folks can start putting some thought into suitable places to finish up, and we'll do the whole shebang up your end... :)

Let's aim to have a decision made by the end of the month: that way we have plenty of time to finalise the route, etc... Shade will be especially important for this next cruise, as it's not going to be getting any cooler in the near future....

I'm going in for a shoulder reconstruction on Nov 9th, I am not allowed to drive for a month, doctors orders, so no insurance etc. If my L plate son thinks he can handle it I might get there, otherwise its wait till the next one.

When the route is laid out my son and I can do a test run so he knows the way.

At this stage, it looks like being down this way, if not the same run we just did (but in reverse, maybe?)... Since I have stupidly promised a mate to run his business for him while he traipses around Europe, I'm way too busy to do a Northern recce run, but will see if I can find another interesting route locally...

That is of course unless someone else has done some groundwork up North??

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      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?
