I were driving the white Series 2 at the front with the 400R bodykit

then

SIR SKYLINE

Was a great day out.

Thanks to co-ordinators and hope it helps the kids. ;)

avoided some nasty nasty nasty storms on the way back.

farken omg some bad bad stuff.

on the m1 near narangba, damn it was like a mini tornado came though.

big 1m wide trees snapped in half etc.

hope everyone was lucky enough to avoid hail like me.

good fun day, nice to meet some more peeps

mick

saw all the debri from the mini tornado ..just got the heavy rain ..and some ass hole in and old merc owes me half a set of brembo pads and some clutch for breaking down and causing the usual coast home run bunfight

until then it was just a great day ..thanks to the organisers from me and family.. the stagea also enjoyed it :O

The whole thing was pretty good for the size of the cruise. Just 2 things we might have to implement for the next one.

** workshops that brings car to advertise there ware should contribute a sizable donation and in return, get to set up table and hand out promotional brochures at designated points.

** ppls need to wear a tag of their nick, as I got tire, after the 100 time I asked ppls what their nick is after talking to them for 5 mins.

just a thought.

What a drive, thanks for the good day out especially the drive home hehe  :O  :)

Had a great day

nice to see the old crew out and of course to meet some new faces :O

a BIG thankyou for Erin and the SAU Execs for organising such a great day ... kudos to you.

Also thankypu to all those who donated for the Kids, I'm sure it will be very much appreciated.

Now bring on the pics ....

Managed to get thru all the twistys before the rain hit. But shit a brick! I've never seen anything like that. After dropping my mate off I couldnt get back on the gateway as the on ramp was flooded. And then I took the longway, that was almost as bad. And I am going to systimatically kill one by one every single 4x4 owner in existance that drives their 4x4s on the road. They are stupid in the wet. I got drenched by one because they couldnt drive safe like every other car on the road, just 80kmh thru a 30cm deep half flooded road. I want them to die!

Anyway, good day other than that. Good to catch up with everyone, REALLY good amount of money rasied. Blitzed last years efforts. And also beat NSW apparently with the car count.

Excellent day, and that's coming from the missus. We really had a good time meeting some of the peeps I am always talking about, and Reagan my 7 week old seemed to enjoy (sleep through the bouncy roads.

Was good to be able put a few more faces and cars to names. Excellent turnout.

Big thanks to Erin and the rest of the execs who made this day possible. Their hard work and professionalism made this day a worthy event.

Look forward to a bigger and better cruise next year.

Cheers

Pete

Yeah BAZ033 and I left Summerset dam early, it pissed down when we got to Wivenhoe dam and could hardly see a 1m ahead, and on the Warrego hwy, a car had aquaplaned into the some trees down the ditch in the centre of the hwy :)

Was a good cruise, only problem was some of the roads weren't coilover friendly especially that bridge in progress (my neck still hurts) :lol:

Can't wait till the next one :O

Had a bloody great day!!

Good to see so many machines in the one place

Erin and gang, thanks for your efforts – well done!

I went home via Ipswich – what a mistake that was….

Nothing like driving directly into a storm from hell.

    • 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! 🤣  
    • This is what the look like normally. Except we only got the 2 doors locally
    • Back pressure is not really a function of the exhaust itself, but the turbine/housing. So the question/point remains valid. I would be fitting an EMAP tapping point and seeing what is going on in the exhaust manifold before committing to throwing boost at it. Flow. No intercooler is actually rated for continuous operation at any power level wrt temperatures, as they are no actually capable of shifting the required amounts of heat on a continuous basis. They get hot during a pul, then dump some of that heat into the external air (and some back into the internal air) during off load moments/periods). You probaby do need a bigger core, given the power level you're already at is somewhat above the "rating" of the cooler. Put pressure tapping points either side of the core (which possibly you already have, if you have a boost source near the compressor outlet and tapping near the throttle for existing purposes) and report on delta P across the core.   I haven't done the mass flow calculation to see where you would be sitting on the compressor map at the ~450is rwkW level we're talking here, but if you look just at the PR you're running at, which is ~2.8-2.9, then you have a really really wide swath of the compressor map to run in, and so long as you were making between about 45-75 lb/min of flow, you should have really good comp efficiency, with the ideal being betweem 55 and 65. I can't see the need to shift drastically on the map to get better results.
    • Welcome 🙂 The ER34 wheels and slight lowering suit the R33 sedan really well. I'm firmly in the 'keep it stock, at least on the outside' camp.
