This means that you can ride your scooter up the Bells Line Of Road if you wish hehe...

Seriously, your VL is most welcome; and it can take part in Group 4 of the convoy.

Group 1 = R32s

Group 2 = R33s

Group 3 = Other Skylines

Group 4 = Other Cars 'n scooters

Enjoy the Cinema as well as the cruise too Nick! :D

How's the weather forecast for the 10th Oct atm guys?

Ask our Organisers for anything you need on the day - they'll have Name Tags!

The Organisers will be doing a Recon (on Sunday week) to check one final time, where we'll pause on the cruise. BP Ultimate can be procured on the day on Bells Line Of Road.

But near Penrith you have a choice of all fuel types along Mulgoa Rd. near the Start.

hey terry, i am not sure if my car will be out of the mechanics by then or not, is it possible if so to just come along for the cruise? dont want to stuff you around with holding tickets or anything?

cheers

Certainly OK!

I hope your car has a fine bill of health by then too :D

Hi All!

I'm happy to announce the prize for the Best R32 GTR on the day!

John (aka kuma_j) has kindly offered his services to create us an exact replica of a Winfield R32 GT-R. This will include wheels, chassis and engine.

Here are some piccies of the awesome mini beast:

This is going to be an awesome day peoples, make sure you get your tickets!!! :D

Even the "BOOBY Prize" is worth over 100!!!

Best to mention your location aswel as the people reading this thread come from all corners of Sydney

Buzz Lightgear voice: AND BEYOND! :D

Anyone willing to give me a lift? In return Ill take photos of your car. Ill go halves of petrol. Being on L-plates has its disadvantages....

if you happen to be close by to me and the ms's is ok with it ill be happy to give you a lift

Hopefully I'll make it for the cruise, have to get to the airport later that afternoon so the movie might be pushing it! Will gladly make a donation though :)

Will hopefully have a 'photographer' tagging along in the form of a friend or possibly my sister!

You guys above...

The more R32s the merrier, even if you can only make the start! There'll be cameras all over the place!

And the more Nissan-nuts inside the Cinema, the more hootin' and a hollerin' there'll be! :banana:

There'll be some more surprises popping up on this thread real soon!

Hi Terry

Regarding this separate groups 1, 2, 3, .. when it comes to the cruise, some of the guys I intended to have come with us are not too happy about this arrangement because not all are in skylines nevermind R32s so their argument is " why should we come out with you when we are not going to cruise or see you all day long" and I see their point, most are coming just to see my car and be able to cruise with me for part of the day at least if not more.

So if things remain as they are we might not see all the cars come out due to the fact of friends being separated on a same cruise. What are your thoughts on the matter?

Regards

    • Also, I logged some data from the ECU for each session (mostly oil pressures and various temps, but also speed, revs etc, can't believe I forgot accelerator position). The Ecutek data loads nicely to datazap, I got good data from sessions 2, 3 and 4: https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-2?log=0&data=7 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-3?log=0&data=6 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-4?log=0&data=6 Each session is cut into 3 files but loaded together, you can change between them in the top left. As the test sessions are mostly about the car, not me, I basically start by checking the oil pressure (good, or at least consistent all day). These have an electrically controlled oil pump which targets 25psi(!) at low load and 50 at high. I'm running a much thicker oil than recommended by nissan (they said 0w20, I'm running 10w40) so its a little higher. The main thing is that it doesn't drop too far, eg in the long left hand fish hook, or under brakes so I know I'm not getting oil surge. Good start. Then Oil and Coolant temp, plus intercooler and intake temps, like this: Keeping in mind ambient was about 5o at session 2, I'd say the oil temp is good. The coolant temp as OK but a big worry for hot days (it was getting to 110 back in Feb when it was 35o) so I need to keep addressing that. The water to air intercooler is working totally backwards where we get 5o air in the intake, squish/warm it in the turbos (unknown temp) then run it through the intercoolers which are say 65o max in this case, then the result is 20o air into the engine......the day was too atypical to draw a conclusion on that I think, in the united states of freedom they do a lot of upsizing the intercooler and heat exchanger cores to get those temps down but they were OK this time. The other interesting (but not concerning) part for me was the turbo speed vs boost graph: I circled an example from the main straight. With the tune boost peaks at around 18psi but it deliberately drops to about 14psi at redline because the turbos are tiny - they choke at high revs and just create more heat than power if you run them hard all the way. But you can also see the turbo speed at the same time; it raises from about 180,000rpm to 210,000rpm which the boost falls....imagine the turbine speed if they held 18psi to redline. The wastegates are electrically controlled so there is a heap of logic about boost target, actual boost, delta etc etc but it all seems to work well
    • hahah when youtube subscribers are faster than my updates here. Yes some vid from the day is up, here:  Note that as with all track day videos it is boring watching after the bloopers at the start.  The off was a genuine surprise to me, I've literally done a thousand laps around the place and I've never had instability there; basically it rolled into oversteer, slipped, gripped and spat me out. On the way off I mowed down one of the instructor's cones and it sat there all day looking at me with accusing cone eyes as I drove past. 1:13:20 was my fastest lap, and it was in the second session, 3rd lap.  It (or me!) got slower throughout the day as it got hotter.      
    • It sounds like you want what the Toyota Landcruisers have for their roof racks. Wanna know what you end up with? Rust holes in the roof, and water everywhere...
    • Discovered today that if I select reverse first and take my foot off the brake, then select drive, the drive indicator light works and so does the tiptronic gear indicator. 
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Does anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
