Maybe you and I should organise it strutto?

We could have a //GC meeting spot and cruise up to a location closer to bris for all the bris people?

Re: Team //GC: It's just a bit of fun strutto and I came up with :cheers: I like it... We might have some small meets with //GC seeing there is a few of us around here, but really its a SAU event for all to enjoy!

yes smoothline and srutto orgainse is //GC meeting point. BP coomera is always a great location to meet! even if we dont cruise much it would just be cool to meet up and have a chat.

Unwritten law carrara is a bit on the southside but its all good! its just a forum joke as they said

A cruise for Team //GC?

Well I know it has been done to death, but I have been hitting the Springbrook Ranges and going the mountain way down to Murwillumbah the last couple of weekends.

Not a bad little run, doesn't have the camber on the roads that Mt Nebo does, so you can't take the corners at 100KPH or so, but still a pleasant drive and there are picnic places all along the way.

Round trip without waypoints and breaks would be about 3 1/2-4 hours

What do people think of that for team //GC first "official" (cough cough) cruise? We could even go further west or south if need be

Rekona big cruise once a month would be great. I'm not much for city driving either. Like the more open roads. I know I would show to a few once a month cruises, and probaly small ones on the side's if any1 running any.

U guys don't have a bbq or anything like that. Rekon that would be good a cruise out threw the country and a bbq lunch @ a nice big park. Well hope some cruises get organeised soon. The last cruise threw nebo and mt me was gr8.

GO TEAM //GC :P

I'll be in it, I have driven the currumbin to murwilumbah road a couple of times, but due to a very wet slick road :) I had a BLAST!

So the Coomera BP that's the one on the northbound side right, near Dreamworld.

Set the Time and Date and I'm there!

I do also think that once a month is good, that gives all time to organise the time to be free to be able to attend.

Passing the buck onto the next person to do the route and organise the where and when is a great idea! Not only do you then get a variety of places to go, it also gets people into doing some research into some of the places they choose and would make for a more interesting trip in my opinion.

Also how bout meeting weekly at the BP Coomera/Yatala just to say hello, I would be in that as both are just a quick hop from me, I'd love to get together and just chat 'lines :). Any weeknight is great for me, weekends I usually have reserved, and any time later than 6:30pm-7pm is good for me.

So who's in?

So, I guess we could say there is plenty of interest... Enough to make a cruise out of it... Lets call it: Mad Mountain //GC Style

- Can I assume that Sundays are best for everybody?

- And if we choose a Sunday, that early morning would be the best time to get away?

- BP Coomera a fair starting point?

- Brissy people can pick a better location to meet at and cruise together down to BP Coomera if need be...

- I was already thinking along similar lines to Nexus9 in terms of //GC to Murwillumbah through Numinbah Valley... Everyone in agreeance??

- We can either leave from the BP and just head straight for Nerang (along the M1) and then on towards Hinze Dam / Numinbah Valley.

- Or leave from the BP and head out through Maudsland / Tamborine and then back in towards Nerang before heading on towards Hinze Dam / Numinbah Valley...

- Do we wanna stop for a BBQ anywhere? Or just keep driving until we find some civilisation and food?

Add your thoughts here interested parties and once it's agreed upon, we can make it official!!!

:headspin: !!!GO TEAM //GC!!! :headspin:

heh nice one NIZ.... U were almost on ur way to Sydney on that crooze to Fingal we did about 6 months ago when u missed the exit ;)

I am keen to get out croozin too, I will be a gold coast local next week so I am looking forward to meeting some coasties (nexus9, strutto, belgarion, MJ, melv)....

I will be spewing if the Bris skyline scene gets its act together after i have moved away....

I got carried away with that HSV that was up the side of me. lol

Saturdays are better for me and where we go dont matter much ;)

Anyone just want to have get togethers during the week? Just get together and talk crap and show off our cars to the poor smucks driving crappy fords and holdens, those knuckle draggers!

TEAM //GC RoCkZ!

Sunday is good for me Strutto and if you need help organising I am willing ;)

We should probably do a practise run within the next couple of weekends so we have directions, waypoints and a lunch break area organised.

Early morning start is good so we can beat most of the traffic.

I think that your suggestion of leave from the BP and head out through Maudsland / Tamborine and then back in towards Nerang before heading on towards Hinze Dam / Numinbah Valley and on to Murwillumbah is a goer.

Are most people happy with that chain of events?

Lets make the first real skyline cruise of the year a big one folks ;)

Yeah wouldn't it look awesome if everyone in Brissie met up and then cruised down, I can just see it now, a fleet of sexy skylines as far as the eye can see all travelling down the M1 :D

Well might not be that many, but still would look very cool!

early morning sunday runs are good stuff, used to do these with a few mates but you need to go really early to beat the traffic, say 6am latest. i'm in.

I think that your suggestion of leave from the BP and head out through Maudsland / Tamborine and then back in towards Nerang before heading on towards Hinze Dam / Numinbah Valley and on to Murwillumbah is a goer.

sounds good, and those of us with leaking fuel tanks can refill at nerang :P

I was bored so I decided to test out my l337 mspaint skills and for all those people who don't know where the BP at Commera is see the map attached, which is probably no one, but anyway, if this helps out just one person, my job is done :)

:type: :bonk: :microwave

    • The fab work can be as simple as a couple of silicon hoses and clamps to the factory piping. 
    • Just sounds like either way you need to do some fab work to get everything to fit, so why limit yourself at that point? If the GCG high flow option is zero effort in and out swap though I'd probably do that. It's almost certainly lowest risk, lowest cost, etc. The HKS GTIII-RS option that Kapr mentioned is laughably expensive for what it is, they charge the exact same for two turbos on the RB26 so their margins are off the charts on that thing.
    • 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.
