Had a great time - Thanks again to Kel and Duncan

Well done on including MacPass in the instructions (its fun uphill aswel)

Pics look good

I got lost (well, i just drove, the navigator got us lost) and found an interesting road, if anyones going out that way id suggest where the turn is for "The Oaks" where we all turned right (dammit), go straight for about 15-25 mins and enjoy the drive (its not exactly a slow drive)

I tell ya, observation cruises put a lot of strain on relationships!

It's all good now. :) But geez. I don't know how you people who organise these things can live with yourselves... *shakes head*

*stares at abobob, duncan, and kel.........

:lol:

Thanks for a cool day guys. Food was good and it was cool to meet some fellow skyline nuts. My drive home was unfortunatly marked with bogans yelling racist crap at me through Shell Harbour and Wollongong. I'm not even close to ethnic. Try asian you racist moots.

Thanks to Bob, Di and Duncan for putting on a cool day. What awesome weather!!.......eventually.

What an awesome day!! Great cruise, bearing in mind it was my first and I didn't know what to expect! Abobob, Duncan, and Kel did a great job organising the event (sorry if I've missed anyone), and I finally became a member of the club!

Everyone was very friendly and helpful - it was good to put names to faces! The photos taken turned out really well also!

Can't wait to do it again!

Had a great time.It's allways good fun putting names to faces.We should have another cruise sometime before christmas.

I got so burnt.Duncan made teh mad fap burgers.needed a little sauce though.

I wanted to go in the event but my passenger pulled out at the last minute due to work.But i still had a great time cruising down with the boys and girls.

was a great day, even though im severely sun burnt.

Maybe i should buy me some khaki short shorts etc and catch red backs for a living? :S

Newho, stoked my car is in some pics :D

Great day all and cheers to duncan, adam, kel and everyone else who helped make the day happen.

Cruised home afterwards with Trust33 for a bit, somewhere between the end of that mini run and us leaving the place i had something cause my HICAS warning light to come up :S

i don't care, i want to get rid of the bloody thing anyway :(

Anyway, great day.

P.S PHAT BBQ TOO

P.S. Would it still be possible to get one of those SAU shirts and/or caps?

When you are recognised as a member on the forum, a new forum opens up and theres a thread in there where you can buy the stuff.

Great fun.

Team Cefiro Powaaaah will have its vengence once it gets its bearings right.

Next time unsuspecting Skyline owners... next time. Teh turbo'd Grandpa cruiser will have its day.

Was an awesome fun day... will be back for more.

PS just a note.

SPOOLD (white r33 with white rims) and the chick and dude with the r32 with white rims... *drool*

    • The fab work can be as simple as a couple of silicon hoses and clamps to the factory piping. 
    • Just sounds like either way you need to do some fab work to get everything to fit, so why limit yourself at that point? If the GCG high flow option is zero effort in and out swap though I'd probably do that. It's almost certainly lowest risk, lowest cost, etc. The HKS GTIII-RS option that Kapr mentioned is laughably expensive for what it is, they charge the exact same for two turbos on the RB26 so their margins are off the charts on that thing.
    • Intake manifold is not a part of the issue. The turbo bolts to the exhaust manifold. That is easy. But close your eyes and picture the physical situation. That is a T3 flange on the manifold and a T3 flange on the turbo. As long as any new turbo has a T3 flange on the exhaust housing, that exhaust housing will bolt to the exhaust manifold. This places the exhaust housing in the same place as the stock one. But now move your mental attention a little further forward. The location of the compressor housing is set by the length of the turbo's core. The stock turbo had a long core. Let's say that it is..... 100mm long. So that would place the compressor housing 100mm forward of the exhaust housing. But a highflow, might well have a centre core that is shorter. Let's say that it is only 70mm long. Now the compressor housing will be 30mm further back in the engine bay than the stock one. This DOES move the turbo's compressor outlet backwards. It also moves the compressor's inlet backwards. You will very likely have to do some work to both the inlet and outlet piping to make everything connect again. I am not say this to make it out to be a bigger deal than it is. I am just pointing out that "bolt on" is sometimes not quite bolt on. The highflow from GCG that Murray linked above (https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html ) uses a core that is the same length as the stock core, and so does not require this extra work. It will look very much like the stock turbo. No-one uses GTR turbos of any flavour (stock, or aftermarket) in a single turbo application on RB20/25. It's not a thing. Yes, people have been putting on GT3076, GTX3076 (and bigger and smaller versions of those) and G30s (of various sizes) onto RB20/25 since forever. But these are not "bolt on". Everything except the 4 bolts to the exhaust manifold change with these. And genuine Garretts are expensive. Non-gen, like Pulsar, etc, are cheaper, variously as good or nearly as good. But still not bolt on. No-one in the right mind would pay for an HKS turbo. Not in this modern day and age. Well, yes, the GCG highflow. You could ask HG what he can do to make the compressor housing sit in the original location. There are surely others doing highflows around the world. And some of the eBay/Temu ones (as reported by Dose) work and don't die. Bit of a lottery though. I would send your turbo to GCG (here in Oz) to be highflowed if you want a trivial no-extra-work option. But seriously, the work required to change inlet and outlet piping is not that hard. That's a boost control problem, not a turbo problem.
    • Thank you all for the replys 🙂 I know that intake would be different but that is one pipe at it is not that hard to get(custom one). I meant mainly bolt to the stock manifold and the turbo elbow. I looked and many sites/forums but they are just "old" with some old HKS turbos from GT-R i guess? What about some Garrets?  Or any other turbo? Is there even a turbo which i can just bolt on? 😄 And yeah i know about that new HKS but that is like 2000k USD without taxes/shipping in here   Iam getting a touch up tune but my "problem" is that on the "not" hot day iam getting peaks around 0,9 bar...and when it was around 15 Celsious i saw peak around 1 bar which is just too much for stock turbo. And of course turbo is old and i like to get some new one for a piece of mind 🙂 
    • I'm working on the assumption that our friend Jasmine here is a Russian (or, possibly Ukrainian) spammer/spambot, based purely on the number of such that I have been having to neuter in the last few weeks. IP address for the OP above was in WA. But that could have been via VPN. Posting at quarter to 4 in the morning is a good sign of being from somewhere in Europe. The last Jasmine that I kicked in the cooch was IP addressed in Ukraine. Even that could have been via VPN, and the bitchbot could have been from Russia, Serbia, China or anywhere. Regardless, was a spambot, so I killed it with fire. The fact that our new friend Jasmine here did not respond in any way to my tart query strongly suggests to me that this OP was just the establishment phase of a user able to be activated for spamming in a week, or 3 or 10.
