+2....I'd like to know as well.......does anyone know what is going on around here

Hahaha. I thought you were in charge of this one.... Should we start throwing in suggestions for routes etc? I don't have any BTW, but would appreciate it if not too far north, although the last drive thru the mountains was very enjoyable.

Doesn't look like I will be able to make it gents. My engine is half built though still waiting on the port job on the head before run in tune. A real shame really as I should have the car in a week or two though still on a run in tune and I don't want to do anything too far from home in the first 500 km's.

I'll be posting a build thread up later once I have the photos of everything getting done. Gone a little silly on the car with the engine rebuild and thinking of putting a larger turbo on though still undecided what I would want if I move to a single setup.

Got the block chemically cleaned and micro polished, bored 40 though, CP oversized pistons, Nitto h beams, nismo bearings, full arp and head stud kit, crank cryo frozen, tomei oil restrictor, nitto oil pump, high octane sheet metal sump extension, tomei sump baffle, full port job on head, tomei type b cams, tomei valve springs, tomei metal gasket kit, cam baffles, hks type r intercooler, Z32 afms & kakimoto exhaust.

yeah i agree about another drive thru the hlls. it was fun last time. how about we do that in the arvo then stop somewhere for dinner? or vice versa

Good idea

southside hills...only leaves Tambo or back of Goldy......need a plan....I will have alook at google

No Dyno. I spoke with EFI. It is too hard to drop front shafts on the day etc etc. and not enough numbers anyway. We would be lucky to have had 5 or 6

My car goes into EFI on Wednesday for 11 days while I am in NZ getting another bigger clutch and a retune from 16 to 20psi :banana:

Guys,

I am going to have to cancel this meet all togather.

I was suppose to nbe in NZ now on hoildays but due to ash cloud and cancelled flights, I have had to move my trip back a week. So I actually will not be back until the 11th July.

Plus I wont have my car back from the workshop either due to leaving later.

Will look at re scheduling later in July or eraly August

I was planning on going to qld sau drag day end of July to race again. If people are intersted, could combine a meet and finish there to either watch or join in???

No worries. Since I don't want to organise it, I'm happy to go with whatever comes up.. Maybe there'll be more interest in the dyno if we go later....

Happy holidays mate.

Have fun guys and girls... will try and make the next one. Getting my car back at the end of the week. Tis a shame this wasn't on at the end of the month....

My cars been in the shop for a long 6 weeks putting things back together. The motor went in today. Got a couple photos on Friday checking out the progress... looking nice and tidy.

Exhaust port and polish inside.

so is everyone happy with commsman's proposed route?? or would u guys like to hit mt mee again?? or any other suggestions??

LOL, proposed route? I just looked on google maps for the squigliest road in the Gold Coast hinterland :rolleyes: . Not sure now where that was.

I really dug Mt Mee, but was a long drive from Byron. Still happy to go back for another run if that's what people want tho.

    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm.
