i nearly kissed hello to the last 25km bend, i locked up the fronts and it was sliding right into the railing then i let go of the brakes and it gripped hard and turned...i would have had max 2-3 meters before i hit the railing....the skyline god was on my side last night..haha

and umm yeh the two cars behind me kinda did the same so if any of you fellas heard big brakes screeches it was us...

the cruise was mad fun. i got abit carried away on the way back, sorry if i scared anyone.

grey 32gtr.

cant wait for the next one,sure beats maccanats at penriff.

i think i should bring up that crazy laser. i want one.

il have to introduce myself to more people next time

cheers dave

lol....yeah close call there barns...the guys behind you left a few skid marks...lol..if you know what I mean!

i got flashed by a speed camera on the way home :P I had just come out of an 80 zone into a 60 zone and was sitting at about 70.... :D Oh well I should have known better.

it was on the main road near bexley...we got a little lost on the way home you see..lol

just got to wait it out to see if it comes through

ur lucky they just reduced the fine for this offence, (if it is only 10km over) although you lose more points.

I was in my car (Grey R32) I think i was only one of a few P Platers there, unless everyone took their plates off. I got to Stanwell Tops and then one of my passengers threw up because he was "shaken up" from the drive. I dont know why he chucked his guts up, we werent even going that quick !!!????

LOL!!!!!!!!!!! good work

btw i am a p plater too and had my plates on..

Meet up point was a nice lookout but thats about it.  

Good too meet some new faces, Big HELLO to Daniel and Jerry and the rest of the crew that i spoke to .

hey its Daniel, :wassup:

yeah good to meet you guys too.

Nice to know that that fellow skyline owners are pretty kewl people.

Sounds like most had a good night.

It was an eventful first skylines crooooz for us.

Got pulled over just as we left Kirrawee for going into the roundabout (cnr bath rd) a bit hard.

As we were one of the ones left behind, was just trying to catch up to the others..... thats all officer, i promise... :(

Copper was really good bout it, gave me a breath test,

said that he doesn’t mind us guys getting together taking photos and stuff but we just gotta take it easy.

Also said that he’s into cars as well 'n told me that he has something that could blow this out of the water (r33 gtst)..... hmmmm.

didn’t really wanna push my luck, so I didn’t ask him what it was!

then on the way into the nasho, got a flat on my front left.

so had to get the good ol' space saver out and limp all the way to the lookout and back.

Thanks to those who stopped to help... BiZzReVhEad + gts4.

On the way out had to pull over a few times to let people past me.

Thanks also to those that slowed down to see why i pulled over... sorry dont know ure forum names???

Props to Moanie for her 'fully sick' organisational skills... neva doubted ya

even when it we were at p6d - 8:45pm Homebush and only a few lines were there!

All good in the end!

:D

    • That's kind of what I was getting at saying you'd be here soon regarding length etc being able to add additional restriction.  My assumption (possible donkeys of you and mption) is that the length of hose to an oil cooler, and back, isn't going to be that huge of a loss. Typically you're talking about 1.5m of total length. And so far everyone in our world hasn't had issues with oil not being able to get to a cooler and back, it's more been, how the heck do we get the oil out of the head and back down to the bottom? I'd nearly hazard a guess the biggest issue people have with oil cooling and oil supply, is being able to get the heat out at the cooler itself (not enough air flow, too small of a cooler etc) Also, when people mount them wrong and make really awesome air traps so they've dramatically diminished the cooling capacity.
    • I will rebutt this and the preceding point from Dose....but without doing any calcs to demonstrate anything and without knowing that I am right or wrong. But... The flow capacity of a fluid transfer system is not limited by the smallest orifice or section of conduit in that system, unless it is drastically smaller than the rest of the system. OK, I use the word drastically perhaps with too much emphasis, but let's drill down on what I really mean. The flow capacity of the system is the result of the sum of the restrictions of the entire system. So, to make an extreme example, if you have a network with 3" pipe everywhere (and let's say a total length of only a few metres) and that 12mm ID restriction of the oil filter connection being the obvious restriction, then for any given amount of pressure available, the vast majority of all the pressure drop in the system is going to occur in the 12mm restriction. But.... increase the length of the 3" pipeline to, say 1000m, and suddenly the pipe pressure loss will likely add up to either be in the same order of magnitude, possibly even exceeding that of the 12mm restriction. Now the 12mm restriction starts to matter less. Translate this to the actual engine, actual oil cooler hose sizing, etc etc, and perhaps: The pressure loss caused by flowing through the narrow section (being the 12mm oil filter port, and perhaps any internal engine oil flow pathways associated with it) is a certain number. The pressure loss through, say, -12 hoses out to the cooler and back is negligible, but The pressure loss through -10 hoses out to the cooler, at the exact same length as the above, starts to become a decent fraction of the loss through the 12mm stuff at the filter port. Maybe even it starts to exceed it. I could actually do these calcs if I knew 1) how much oil was actually flowing in the line, 2) gave enough of a f**k to do things that I hate doing for work, voluntarily for a hypothetical discussion. Anyway - I reiterate. It's not the narrowest port that necessarily determines how much it can all flow. It is the sum. A long enough length of seemingly fat enough pipe can still cause more loss than a semmingly dominant small bore restriction.
    • To pick up what Dose is putting down. Not a lot of point running a huge hose if the motor is still restricted to the smaller size... It's only capable of flowing so much at that point...   *Waits for GTSBoy to come in and bring in the technicalities of length of pipe, and additional restriction from wall friction etc etc*
    • Hooley Dooley these things have some history! If i sell them they will need a certificate of providence to prove they have been in the hands of verified RB20 royalty! They have been stored in a plastic tub, away from sunlight and moisture. They are in mint condition. And they will stay that way, as i have sprung the money for a set of shockworks coilovers. I'm just working on getting them in at the moment, after rebushing the rear of the car, and while the subframe was out i welded in the GKtech reinforcement bracing as well.  They will get a workout at Ararat King of The Hill in November. I ran 48s on the short course there a few months ago, and i am hoping with new bushes and shocks in the rear i can launch a bit harder. There was a fair bit of axle tramp when i tried too hard off the line. a few of the corners had dips mid way which also made the car feel a bit unsettled, hopefully this will help there too.
