Yeah I had a great time!  The sudden slow downs to 20kmh on the highway were a bit hair rasing at times tho, cars going everywhere!  But yeah over all really good.  Organisation was fine, I didnt even read the bit of paper I it was easy, just follow the leader! :P

And I was good, I parked right up the end of the line, I wasnt inbetween any skylines for anyone who was complaining :)

I got a flat spoted front right :Oops:

The reason people were doing like 20k's on the highway is this thing called 'Chain Reaction', im sure you learnt about it in year 8 at highschool.

Basically, when erin is up the front doing 90 or so (for a few k's) just so everyone can regroup.. it makes this thing called a chain reaction, causing the cars behind her to break and slow a bit.. and considering we had such a long line, the people at the end of it will have felt the end of the reaction which by the time it hit them, they would have slowed to your apparent 20k's..

ontop of this, we all were traveling in the one left hand lane (which was the right thing to do), and as this lane is used to take exits, people some times had to break to let people in that would like to use the exits.. and i witnessed some of these cars slowing to use the exit, and hesitating which would have sent another 'chain reaction' to the one already sent.

So in theory, the reason why the people at the tail end where doing this 20ks would be causing your dealing wiht at least chain reactions in one.

its simple logic, its commonsense .. wanna go faster, indicate right anf move up the back like me and other members did.

:P ... thats your education for today :)

I think we had more of a chance of getting 'slow' tickets for going too slow than getting them for speeding on the way to bwcp. I dont think i even got to 100km/h the whole time.

Yeh the sudden braking woke me up nice and good :Oops:

I hanged around the coast untill about 2am with a few others and ended up getting home about 4am after some city cruising with 2quick

Good to drive my car in again, thats the first time ive driven it properly since i got it back. It can only get faster now, and handle better as of next week :P

I see some of you's on the weekly cruises from now on....

Once again, Thanks Erin and Adrian!!

Argh I'm sooo pissed off I couldn't make it... a mate ended up getting taken to hospital in an ambo after getting into a fight at my brother's house. Sort of put my plans on hold... :P

Anyway looks like it was an awesome cruise, even better to hear that, on the whole, everyone was pretty well behaved too.

Good work Erin/Adrian!

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something?

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation. It just states that I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!?

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By Kapr · Posted

      @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.
