henzie its true though, these riot dudes just dont care, if u saw the streets of nulla and how bad that prelude got smashd, u wouldnt be wanting to get out and punch on no matter how big u are, u would be gettin the hell out of there no matter what they do...

jeff what u wrote waz goin through my mind, the whole thing of 30 hot cars in a convey cruisn to newy what would every1 think?

man i can not believe this...i been waiting for soooo long , and i m soooo disappointed now...

i dont know what to say ...even i dont look like no wogs or aussies but i m still worry about my car

but yeah ...depend on how many people are going , i might still go , or is there enough time to organize a cruze to go some where esle?

and Jeff , u spend so much efforts on this cruze ....but....

thanx for the call anyway

i m thinking ...mayb we should still meet up at the same place same time...then decide...because people got that day free anyway...just a suggestion

I think it's too early to make the call to cancel. Wait until later this week and se what happens. Also, you can still meet at Homebush (or another place) and then decide what you want to do and where you want to go. Don't let these clwons who are acting like animals stop people from doing what they normally do on any given weekend.

Could even cruise inland and avoid the beaches altogether.

^^ yeah jeff if u want we could do that

i would even be keen to just meet every1 there and take pics and stuff than go home

that s a bloody good idea actually!! lol

~(@)~

yeah~~Jeff you got our feed backs now...what do u say?

Guys thankyou for all your support, i am as dissapointed as u all. this makes me so mad coz ive been waitin for this for so long and i know u all did too.

if you all want we can still all meet up, just to have a chat and meet everyone. im happy to do that. from there we can decide if we still wanna go elsewhere.

Hey guys,

Very dissapointed you giys and girls aren't coming up for the day, but I can understand your concerns.

ALthough, I don't really agree with you writing that just because you spoke to your relatives up here that the riots are on Jeff. Thats meerly hearsay.

The Newy guys will prob still be cruising anyway. We know our town, and the fact that the exact same msgs have been spread around the central coast, newcastle and the gold coast says to me that copy cats are just trying to start shit because of the events of last sunday at cronulla.

We'll def have to do this all again in the New Year. All this will die down quickly I'm sure.

i am really sorry, but i just want everyone to be safe. im not saying that the newcastle ppl are like that, i have been there 100s of time and all you ppl are very friendly, but you have to understand that it may happen.

wat would you think if you were one of those ppl who wanted to participate in the riot and all of tha sudden you say 30+ hotted up cars coming, wat would you think straight away, u would think we are der to start trouble + not only that imagine how many cops are gonna be on alert to all the ppl coming in to newcastle???

we will be stopped im sure before we even get there.

seriously, wen u see skylines specially in big groups with all this shit going on, and u see them going in to town, wat will run through ur mind????

Look i just want every1 to be safe, and hope it doesnt happen for everyones sake!

i am against all racism, and im very sad this is happenin, but its der now. we just have to deal with it!

we will all meet im sure, just not this time :)

we looking forward of meeting you guys in the future :)

PEACE

Anyone who is still keen, could meet up with us in the arvo at speers point park. this is not in newcastle so there will be no problem (20min+ from Nobbys) :) It's a shame to cancel after so much organising. pm me if interested.

Indeed!

An excellant idea for anyone still interested!

Look up Speers Point on WhereIs?.

Its on the northern part of Lake Macquarie for those that don't know. Just west of Warners Bay for anyone who has done cruises up this way before.

Beautiful place. Its where my parents moved to some 18 years ago now :)

Anyway, as Chris said, PM him. Would be great to meet the brave :)

Sorry to hear that Jeff! Especially after all the effort you have put into this!!!!

Its probably not the best time to go to Newcastle! Lets hope it all goes away and we can go on this cruise soon...

I'm thinking i might go up putty rd on sunday instead... its away from any beaches where all the trouble seems to be...

lol.. why isn't it the best time to go to newie?... some bullshit message shouldn't deter you!

words out of your mouth darlin!

lol

I personally think the cruise should still go ahead as the newy guys are almost certain that there wont be riots where we are cruising to and we wont be going near them .. so you might want to re-think the cancellation decision :blink:

    • Also, I logged some data from the ECU for each session (mostly oil pressures and various temps, but also speed, revs etc, can't believe I forgot accelerator position). The Ecutek data loads nicely to datazap, I got good data from sessions 2, 3 and 4: https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-2?log=0&data=7 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-3?log=0&data=6 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-4?log=0&data=6 Each session is cut into 3 files but loaded together, you can change between them in the top left. As the test sessions are mostly about the car, not me, I basically start by checking the oil pressure (good, or at least consistent all day). These have an electrically controlled oil pump which targets 25psi(!) at low load and 50 at high. I'm running a much thicker oil than recommended by nissan (they said 0w20, I'm running 10w40) so its a little higher. The main thing is that it doesn't drop too far, eg in the long left hand fish hook, or under brakes so I know I'm not getting oil surge. Good start. Then Oil and Coolant temp, plus intercooler and intake temps, like this: Keeping in mind ambient was about 5o at session 2, I'd say the oil temp is good. The coolant temp as OK but a big worry for hot days (it was getting to 110 back in Feb when it was 35o) so I need to keep addressing that. The water to air intercooler is working totally backwards where we get 5o air in the intake, squish/warm it in the turbos (unknown temp) then run it through the intercoolers which are say 65o max in this case, then the result is 20o air into the engine......the day was too atypical to draw a conclusion on that I think, in the united states of freedom they do a lot of upsizing the intercooler and heat exchanger cores to get those temps down but they were OK this time. The other interesting (but not concerning) part for me was the turbo speed vs boost graph: I circled an example from the main straight. With the tune boost peaks at around 18psi but it deliberately drops to about 14psi at redline because the turbos are tiny - they choke at high revs and just create more heat than power if you run them hard all the way. But you can also see the turbo speed at the same time; it raises from about 180,000rpm to 210,000rpm which the boost falls....imagine the turbine speed if they held 18psi to redline. The wastegates are electrically controlled so there is a heap of logic about boost target, actual boost, delta etc etc but it all seems to work well
    • hahah when youtube subscribers are faster than my updates here. Yes some vid from the day is up, here:  Note that as with all track day videos it is boring watching after the bloopers at the start.  The off was a genuine surprise to me, I've literally done a thousand laps around the place and I've never had instability there; basically it rolled into oversteer, slipped, gripped and spat me out. On the way off I mowed down one of the instructor's cones and it sat there all day looking at me with accusing cone eyes as I drove past. 1:13:20 was my fastest lap, and it was in the second session, 3rd lap.  It (or me!) got slower throughout the day as it got hotter.      
    • It sounds like you want what the Toyota Landcruisers have for their roof racks. Wanna know what you end up with? Rust holes in the roof, and water everywhere...
    • Discovered today that if I select reverse first and take my foot off the brake, then select drive, the drive indicator light works and so does the tiptronic gear indicator. 
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Does anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
