thanks for organising it mate :D was fun... just gotta try and meet some ppl next time.

I was wondering when we went through mornington why no one was hanging out on the street watching... cos we were there about 20 mins before everyone else..

we certainly put on a show in frankston. I know when we did a u turn at the lights that all of the cars that made it through really hung it out... to the delight of on lookers :P

If you are talking about the GTR with the Black 17' Impul wheels

it was me... otherwise if it was the one with the std wheels it was Ula32.

I was the car in front of Leewah (actually Gerald was driving Leewah 's car at the stage) on the way up Arthurs seat.. damm, now that was fun :P

great job skylineR33 and mz nismo or ambz it was a great turnout my car looked a little out dated which was not too bad the cops didn't seem to notice :P but what was with all tose japanese spec import commodores that rocked up @ frankston heheh

:eek: :D

We were sitting on the really tight hair pin watching the cars go up

haha i saw your there!

my favourite memory of the night was driving no no speeding no no SPEEDING with about 5 other skylines up to arthers seat and reaching top speed and sitting there for quiet while...

:burnout:

Yeah i saw your car but didn't see you walking about at the meeting points.

Ula32's car was a monster, Ula32 you know why?? (R34 ring a bell)

glad that everyone enjoyed the cruise hopefully next time, the club will be all organised and and have a local one, for you guys.

yah that was me :D

we gotta meet up again in the day or something as i got to the pits late and it was dark so it was hard finding anyone there. the next meeting point was cool (except for cops) and i got to meet up with the mine's gtr and we stuck with him the whole night heh.

as for the r34 i think he got too much wheelspin... i took of 'normally' at 6 grand :P

which skyline were you skyline33? i keep forgetting who's who. the only guy that i knew there was wing (mine's).

yeah, I was in front in silver series II r33 followed by the mines gtr then the wide guard silvia, then you must've been behind them cause i think there were a couple more skylines behind them.

I'm the guy that was next to the mines gtr when we stopped incorrectly on the last meeting point then went to the correct one.

ahh thats right *slaps forehead* .... see, we really need a day meet... :P

well i had my first cruise!! it was really cool, i agree we need to have a meet with at least a few less people, as when you dont know anyone in the first place, its kinda embarressing going up and asking ppl, are you on te skyline board etc hehehe

i have pics, but will get them developed in next day or so, got some nice ones i think

good to meet(after many nockbacks lol) iNark and Dave and a dude that hasnt posted here yet apparently Dorbit or something

cheers brad :P

I was in a group of skylines from the frankston stop untill close to arthurs seat....Who were you guys?? we were stuck behind some guy towing a boat on a 1 lane road for a bit....and we stopped at BP. That was quiet a nice cruise up...I was astonished at the speed of a purple GTR that was with us...O M G, respect!

I would just like to say a big thank you to the organisers (Mznizmo and skyline33!!) for such an awesome cruise, my first one and it couldn't of been better. Loved it!

I was Gardo's passenger and that run with the Skylines was awesome, what a mad site it was seeing all those skylines and all great guys too! That purple GT-R was crazy! He planted it in front of us and just ran away soooo fast.... wicked! :P

When we told my brother about the cruise he was pissed he didn't come, and especially when he saw that there we're a few R31's he wouldn't of felt so alone lol! As he has a 31. :D

    • Well it wasn't as easy as I thought.... and it also wasn't in my original manual which I did end up finding. They discuss the process in the Nismo catalogue though and it requires slight machining. Page 145.  NISMO PARTS CATALOGUE 2020
    • I'm an idiot, my intercooler is rated for 1000hp. I had clicked on the wrong product. Knowing the delta P would be nice, but I'm doubtful I'll do it. Now as for an EMAP, that would be great and I'll get around to it eventually but from my findings in my last post, I'm considering a turbo swap now. 
    • You sir, big win tonight. Precision never supplied compressor maps in the past and Idk when they started, but it seems they only offer for a few of the older gen2's which is exactly what I have. I punched in some numbers and seem to have gone with the wrong turbo. 600-700whp isn't in the most efficient area and is close to the choke line. 800whp is well off the map. Punching the numbers into a 68mm gen2 turbo map is bang on in the center. Here I was thinking going smaller would shift the power band down, but in reality it would just make it so much worst due to my rev limit. I would have never thought. 
    • Increasing overlap will bring the torque down earlier (and make your idle sound sick lol). Worth a shot (if you dyno time) to experience a bit (providing you are confident your valves won't kiss your pistons). Is to just take off 5 degrees across the boosted area of the map, and then retard the exhaust cam let's say, 3 degrees at a time and then overlay all the runs with VCT on all the way and VCT off as soon as you make positive pressure. Ideally you would have a total of 6x overlays to looks at 0 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve 0 exhaust & VCT on all the way -5 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve -5 exhaust & VCT on all the way -10 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve -10 exhaust & VCT on all the way Just leave your O2 wideband closed loop on for all of the boost area & RPM, and hopefully there isn't too much fuel correction needed and the Haltech is fast enough to compensate (I do this, then apply the correction to the main table). Getting that overlay data should give you a good indication of what to aim for.
    • So, my main limitation here is that the car does not have an oil pressure sensor by default, just a switch. As part of my tune I bought an oil pressure sensor upgrade so I now have access to oil pressure levels and logging rather than just the boolean behaviour of the switch but this means I need to use the tuning app to display this value. So, this rules out using any other app on the iPad. The app will also flash when pressure drops which is a nice feature. I have replaced the centre screen with an Android one, which is awesome for Android Auto, but I think it might be too far away and out of my line of sight. I might add some gauges to it this weekend and just see. I guess if its just temp and oil pressure I can make them massive! 🤣
