It was a great fun! and pleasure to met all the old and new friends:) I managed to catch up with KEW11 (he's so kind, haha) like always, the cruise was packed with great views on the stops, Love it!

Big thx to Sam for organizing the amazing cruise! and thx hrd-hr30 for the great roads(except for the grids, hehe) I heard that you were driving madly in front, wish I can see that.....

:( you must be getting me confused with the other white GTR :)

but some of those tighter twisty sections can be enjoyable well within the speed limit (and the car/driver limits of course)

if you do want to see me driving madly, come along to the next hillclimb at MtCotton on Sunday 7th of May... I'll do a run or two on those street tyres just for laughs!

and there's a come and try day on the 21st if you decide you want to have a drive there yourself. Not a competition, just driving around the track as fast or slow as you are comfortable. Its a way for newbies to have a try at hillclimbing, or just for people who want to see what the track looks like from the drivers seat.

Hrd Hr30. Hahahhaa it wasnt me... it was YOU!!!! I like the way you took some of those corners.... I tried to keep up but your too good mate.

I remember one bend it was a right hand bend with the apex of the corner at the base of a hill so you had to climb up... I was going was too fast and i remember the G force my brain experienced.

They were some pretty good mountain roads. Gotta do it again!!

RYN26, its free to get into the hillclimb to watch. the practice days are fairly cheap too. I

frankxy - I've got more good roads ready and waiting for another cruise whenever everyone is ready!

arbess - yeah some of those heavily on-cambered 2nd gear corners through Kenillworth State Forest (just after that road with all the cattle grids) were very nice. They just don't make corners like that anymore! and all within the speed limit too!

yeah, awesome cruise, loved that uphill one way section, if only i knew those roads... well done to the organisers!!!

i'd love to tag along to that "come a try" hillclimb day.

thanks again, well worth the $7

me too :(

I don't think anyone fall behind thanks to RYN26 and Brad keeping us in pace with the rest of the group LOL

Thanks for the cruise guys. It was fun and a good introduction to QLD roads for me. You guys have awewome highway and interesting hillclimb road compare to SA.

I will be keen to come to Mt Cotton on the 21. If I am not ready to compete I will be keen to spectate. Hopefully catch up with you guys again.

Cheers

me too :w00t:

the 2nd Round of the Hillclimb Series on the 7th of May is the one see if you want to watch. The "Come and Try" day on the 21st is for those who want to try it out for themselves without the pressure of competition. Come and check the place out on the 7th and decide if you want to have a drive there yourself on the 21st.

Hey guys just curious, we made one stop where videos were taken of the GTRs leaving one by one...anyone has the video?

As well as all other videos taken of the cruise will be good too!

Cheers!

    • Aren't these run off of high voltage in OEM applications? Like 200+V. Or at least 48V in mild hybrids. At ~18,000 BTU ballpark nominal capacity the power draw is at what, 2.2 kW? ~185A is a pretty crazy amount of amps. At 200V it's only 11A. The 70A nominal kits with up to 100A peak draw I see for stuff like classic Porsches have pretty substantial compromises like shutting off at idle and not actually managing to keep the interior cool in hot conditions because they can only output like 6000 BTU. IMO if I had to pick what high amp draw component to retrofit to these cars I would start with the engine fan, not the AC compressor. You need an ~850-1000W brushless fan, something like this: I would love to see the data but I would bet that whatever you save by running the AC compressor in a more efficient regime with an electric motor you're probably losing to conversion losses anyways. It's not really like a clutch fan where you're losing power all the time even when it's nominally disengaged and it gets worse as it engages because the envelope tracking isn't that precise.
    • I am a volunteer marshal at the Grand Prix. As such, I get a "friend / family" ticket. It is a general admission ticket, valid for all 4 days. Anyone interested in my spare pass, please DM me. Ticket is "free, gratis and no expense".
    • agreed, the price vs gains it’s there.   unless you go china supercharger. Temu racing anyone?😂https://www.facebook.com/share/15nkfpsg7Z/?mibextid=wwXIfr that was one of the ones that popped up on my feed 😂
    • Bit of a long shot but if anyone has 4 of these laying around in new or near new condition. I will happily buy them off you.     https://skylinespares.com.au/product/stabilizer-door-glass-inner-new-8032404u03/?srsltid=AfmBOop6L5EgUFaHPHiVXoAhv5k8aJYwc77nGmoApp-hY03OiOsNVaOv Thanks 
    • I'm wondering is the Toyota and Mazda "collaboration" could see that new Toyota ???G20 ??? turbo engine that they have been showing off recently into a future MX5, apparently it's good for 400hp out of the box That could easily, possibly, be much better than the last collaboration between Toyota and Subaru with the boxer engine in the twins
