I believe "driving on the road" was likely to be another reason the residents would have given. Got a warning to check my rears about 10 mins outside of the final meet spot.

Its a charity cruise, and they start defecting. Oh there will be a letter in the paper about this one!

Every single old bat that I drove past through the hills just looked and stared in shock and horror as I drove by in my totally stock standard quiet car... had a good lol everytime, received honks and mid fingers from oncoming traffic aswell.

Stopped dead in the middle of the road at this one straight section because a pair of emus decided to walk slowly across, I stopped and honked and one of them turned and poked its head forward as if it was about to run at me to attack ;)

reckless driving as in burnouts/ loud take offs ?

Or the other reckless driving as in doing a fart , driving over 2300rpms, starting up your car, etc etc ? grandma spec reckless driving >?

anyone witness it ?

i can vouch, douchebags stopping to rip skids up the corkscrew, had a rexy all over both lanes in front of me for half the cruise. that s15 with the vault chromies lunched it, straight into a guard rail.

parked at the bp at the finish meet point, got word of cops from scandy and heslo so left from there. then sorta ended up next to heslo, a dark blue 33 and a lighter blue 33 cruising back towards ttp way, all sticker free i think.

you know why

because ive heard in a number of media reports lately the words "hoon" and "car enthusiast" get merged into one group statement

so we're now "hoon car enthusiasts"

thanks media mike, ya f**khead

did u escape sticker free?

My car got looked over and got cleared, bastard stopped me as I was tryin to leave, he went all through inside car, glove box ,centre console . Are they alowed to go through inside of car, or they need a warrent?

125 reports from hills residence!!

Im not suprised, one of the S13 drift cars i was behind for a bit was drifting like he was at lala. Also spotted an old dude filming people going up corkscrew with his camera, then just after corkscrew everyone decided to pull over for a burnout show, few cars infront of me stop and i almost rear ended them and then i had cars doing skids right next to my car in the oncoming lane while i was stuck behind people ;)

Well as with most cruise, there were the boro spec and track spec cars. The cop i was talking to was more annoyed that the organiser was no where to be found. I know Wayne and his mate had some guy actually block the road with his car in Montacute just after the Corkscrew! Now there is reckless endangerment!

If they have suspecion Nick they can

Reckless driving, excessive noise, driving without due care, you name it

I think that the cops are full of shit. The cruise would have been lucky to pass 125 people and the chance of every one of them picking up the phone and calling the cops is very unlikely. they would have received 20 calls max if they received any.

Remember the cops were notified of the cruise because it was an official cruise and they would have decided long ago that they were going to "have a strong presence", so regardless of what happened people were going to get defected.

But Old Mark cant be everywhere at once, although we tried to keep the guy there..he did start getting quite pedantic "wheres the organiser of this cruise?" "can you guess why we are here?"

Kinda makes you second guess wether you come out to these cruises anymore. After doing nothing wrong, you still get a giant target painted to your car.

    • 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.
    • The stock manifold is "mostly" divided. The divider actually has a notch cut out of it where it would meet the divider on a twin scroll housing. I have no idea why. But whatever the reason, it would cause some cross talk when used with a twin scroll housing. People do put twin scroll housings onto that manifold. But I'm of the opinion that proper twin scroll internal gating is...not really possible at this scale. You'd be throwing good effort (ie $$) after bad, when you really should be doing something else. Notwithstanding that.... I am not sure what the idea that you are floating has to do with the difference in comp cover position caused by the highflow using a shorter length core than the stock Hitachi one. Can you clarify what you meant?
