Recommended Posts

alrite guys and girls, thinking of organising a cruise/meet/bbq/anything you wana do in the hunter valley vineyards @ hunter valley gardens, there is plenty and i mean plenty of parking and space to have a good meet up and there are also onsite bbq for use, aqua golf, putt putt or just have a general mooch around the place.

please let me know what you guys think, its easially accessible from sydney/central coast/newcastle and northcoast

like i said guys this is just an idea for us stagea people as there has not really been a good meet up for a while, but if there is interest from the skyline boys and girls then we can merge it as this would be good to get good numbers for once

please let me know what you think

Hi Everyone,

I've been in contact with Hunter Valley Gardens to find out any dates that will be too busy for us to have a larger group there for a bbq (didn't want it to be too busy and miss out on bbq's as they are on a 'first come-first serve' basis).

These are the following dates that came up good:

  • Saturday 24th April
  • Sunday 25th April
  • Saturday 8th May
  • Saturday 5th June
  • Sunday 6th June
  • Sunday 20th June

Could everyone reply/post what date would suit them best, and I'll start up a 'tally' so we can then lock in a date.

Cheers,

Kacey.

    • @Butters I can't tell you why but the bigger HKS step 2 cams improved low and mid end immensely. Turbos started spooling about 1k RPM less than before and the idle/vacuum was rock solid, it was an absolute thrill to drive, 3rd gear pulls hit 180kmh where previously only managed 160. Conversely, the milder poncoms in there now have a funky idle making it harder to get off the line, drives poorly in lower revs, laggy and makes less power/torque throughout. Feels better after I swapped the EBC but unless I put it on the Dyno again, I can't say how much better.
    • Hi Sydney kid   do you still selling spring and blistein shocks for Nissan 260rs? Air any suspension upgrades? Please advice     yudy
    • Cams are not needed at this power level, they will create lag. The cam gears are a good idea though.
    • @Murray_Calavera yeah, I guessed as much, cooler temps, more boost, less knock, more timing, hello power. Unfortunately not quite within reach ATM, could upgrade my whole fuel system to support but still wouldn't have E85 to run it 😂  Anyway, I changed cams again, 260/260 poncam B and everything else the same except an EBC upgrade. Now I must say I was quite disappointed with the result as it was like running stock cams (didn't try to dial them in as they're supposed to be optimum already) but after awhile I suspected my new EBC was underperforming not to mention difficult to use. I recently swapped back my old EBC and it drives much better now, boost comes on sooner, more stable, no spikes etc, feels all quicker and faster than with stock cams. Planning to fiddle with the cam gears and see what happens but maybe skip the Dyno as I intend to revert to the HKS cams cos they really made the car come alive; low and mid end was unbelievable and it just wanted to rev to the moon, finally knew what people were raving about, RB26 really loves revs. Anyway, Dyno 03 is quite disappointing, in Dyno 02 although peak power was less and trailed off at the top, the low and mid end improvement more than made up for it.
    • @Darrel It's so tempting to say e85 is borderline magic. It cools the intake charge, so if you're flirting with the edge of the turbos compressor map it helps dramatically cool down the hot air the turbos are pumping. It is very resistant to detonation so you can crank the timing, I don't really want to say you won't be knock limited anymore.... but you probably wont be knock limited anymore lol. I wouldn't be surprised if you made 20% more power swapping to e85 (provided you have the fuel system to support them, bigger injectors maybe bigger pump etc).
