Hooray!!! Man I hope the weather is going to be good for this!!

What do you mean you "hope" the weather will be good?

Of course it will be! The import gods will shower us in sunshine for honouring Godzilla!

Terry forgot to mention that this will be organised by the same crew who organised the 10th Anniversary R34 GT-R Cruise (and all of you who came know that was awesome!!!)

We plan on making it bigger and better this time!

Just bought two tickets for the event so pretty damn good chance of making an appearance. Now to decide whether to drive the GTR up or chuck it on a trailer! :banana:

It's great to have you along Vu.

By making a weekend of it, Fri-Mon, perhaps you'd like to see the V8 Shootout on Sat 9/10/10 then...

Stay overnight at Pioneer Way Motel at 429 Great Western Hwy Faulconbridge 02-47512194 (suitable for low-lip cars) then...

On Sunday for our big event 10/10/10, it's just 25 mins down the hill to Tench Ave., Penrith :)

Cheers for the info, this will be something different - havent been to Sydney before! I've got a vague plan for the weekend will have to see closer to the date.

Will be great seeing loads of R32 GTRs together :ninja:

Both my girls turning 21 years old this year.... the GTR and the missus. lol

Mine's a daily which means I drove my GTR from Melbourne :-) Take a drive mate, just keep it on 5th and 2900rpm and a useful passenger :)

If you need a carwash before the event let me know, I might be able to arrange something for a small group ;-) (don't worry I won't be the one washing lol)

SOO DESU KA :)

Well I wrote a much longer reply but bloody Maccas' internet keeps disconnecting me.

I did the route today driving up to Katoomba and among other places including the cinema in which the event will be using to screen something very special. The drive itself was excellent, lots of challenges for you need to keep awake! The weather was excellent.

I visited the Edge (cinema) and let me tell you, I was pleasantly surprised to find such a high tech facility in the middle of nowhere. Katoomba has no Maccas, just plenty of interesting restaurants I did not expect to find including a few chinese, thai and greek! The Edge however has all the food and drinks you want. It is big, clean and professional with a sizable arcade section for the gamers in us. It will be a great place to relax after a hour and a bit of driving!

I'm expecting big things from our sponsors/exhibitors and am very keen to know what kind of R32 they'll be putting up. If not I'll put mine there :thumbsup:

Lets just say that 400 Skylines turn up, can we somehow break this up into groups? I would actually like to see a group of all gunmetal R32s which I believe will be a lot out there. WOuld make an interesting video ;-)

Your SA plates along with ACT, NSW & QLD will add tons of flavour to the day; especially with SAU, Performance Imports & Motive DVD shooters floating around. :P

Hi Sam,

I see you have been checking out the route, just a quick question regarding speedhumps.

Were there any, can you remember if there were any and how bad were they?

I am worried my exhaust might be a little too low for some humps out there.

Thanks mate.

:ninja:

Hey dude, you won't find any speed humps in the route that we've mapped out unless you veer off-course to see the 3 sisters, Evan's point etc (which I did!). The only places I worry about are the entry/exit points at the meeting place and at the cinema, which most of us can maneuver anyway.

Within the Edge Cinema complex, there are no speed humps to speak of ie. very mild.

When entering The Edge Cinema area, it's best to enter the carpark further past Civic Place & there's no speed hump.

But if you enter via Civic Place, it's best to enter via the 'Exit' lane on the right hand side (next to the retaining wall). There's no problem then.

Thanks for the update Terry, much appreciated.

I shall be there even if i have to get a tow truck to help me over the bumps.

Btw you are doing an excellent work organising this event, so more power to you my friend.

See yous all there, rain or shine.

:(

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
