i only just got my licence back 2 days ago so im overly keen for a cruise. I gave myself a "welcome back to the roads" present of a full 3" turbo back exhaust system, and then on my one week anniversary im fitting up a blitz intercooler system. so she'll be ready for the cruise with some nice mods. ahhh.....i give the best presents! :O

Got a couple of local guys up here who are coming out for the day...2 x R33 GTS-t's Matt(dark grey/silver) and Josh(burgundy) (i think its josh)

More the merrier!

Glad you can make it Adam....and i aggree about the UHF radio's...lol

They also make the cruise more interesting, cause you can chit chat along the way. B)

Crew's growing in size rapidly now!!

Looks like it will be a top day.

Paul and Stace, how many $$ would you like each person bring for the BBQ?

I will confirm we have the "floating carpark" for parking and photo's...but ppl we must be on our best behaviour. It is a 40m x 40m concrete platform built out over the water next to Soldiers point Marina. It is used as Geoff D'albora's helicopter pad ($$$). We should be able to fit all the cars in "formation" on there and should look unreal. Trying to obtain use of Soldiers Point Yacht Club which overlooks this area for photo's BBQ and drinks, but should be able to pull a few strings to get it. Will need definate numbers before i can work out a price for catering but if everybody budgets between $5 and $10 each it should make for a great day.

I just checked out the list and it looks like out of everyone theres only 3 R32's! thats not cricket. And the 2 besides mine are GTR's. Last time there were a heap of 32's. :blink: also how many ppl have UHF radios?

That sounds awesome Paul!

Good work mate. This is gunna be tops.

I have a UHF radio. And anyone that doesn't, get on down to your local Dick Smiths this week. The Uniden radios I got come as a pair and are on special for $50. So split the cost between you and a friend, and it'll be all good.

Yeah, def. get your hands on that UHF deal at Dick Smiths Adam. Get Heffo to go in with you so its only $25 a piece!!

Price for the BBQ sounds more than reasonable Paul & Stace, thanks for pulling some strings so we have some nice locations up at the point too!!

mmmm bbq :D

List has been updated...

hopefully i will see you there on saturday paul.

Suggesting an earlier start so we can get back to newcastle in time to meet up with the sydney crew. we could do the photo shoot before the bbq. perhaps a 9.30 leave from speers point?

So that means:

Meet at 9:00am at Spears Point Carpark

Leave by 9:30am to commence to cruise from point to point!

Everyone able to make that? Was just talking to Chris about it and we think thats the only way we will have time to fit everything into the day..!

I might not be able to make it fellas... my turbo has just buggered itself.. im in the process of getting a standard turbo on there asap so hopefully i can meet the deadline and go on this cruise! Wish me luck! haha

    • Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.  
    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
