Due to the other organiser not providing any details for the cruise from the twin servo's to Nelson's Bay we thought we'd get another one on the way.

Date: Monday 17th April

Time: 10.30am meet (11am depart)

Meeting place: Edgeworth Macca's

Then meet up with maitland people at caltex at end of F3 (11:15)

Destination: Walka water works

All cars welcome skylines or not, bring your friends for a nice drive. The water works park has elec bbqs, tables and chairs, toilets, plenty of shade and lots of grass area.There is no shop up there so you will have to pack everything you need. Bbqs are $1.A rug or chair will come in handy.

You will need $3 to get in, must have correct change($2 or $1 coins)

Let us know if your interested. Should be a good day.

Coming so far

1) ULOOOK

2) Random Integra :D

3) OPASEN

4) BazaR33 (maybe)

5) weapn + 5 cars

6) d-d (maybe)

7) Mum's Taxi

8) monkeykplunk

9) Adam_54

10) Trust33

Directions as follows:

* Right at Minmi Rd

* Left at r/about onto Newcastle Link Rd

* Follow till merges with northbound F3

* Follow onto Weakleys Dve

* Left onto New England Hwy

* Through r/about to Les Darcy Dve

* Right at r/about after bridge

I heard The roads are crap up pokolbin way?

Does anyone know if this is t the case?

Not too keen on taking my car up there if we are driving over potholes and unsealed roads?

Cheers

Simon said the roads up there have just all been re-tarred and are good. The roads worry me too but he said they were ok. If there are any other suggestions on where to go, we can change it. The vineyards was just an easy answer.

If the roads are good i am fine to go, but if they are crap its not good.

Does any one actually know for certain? or are we assuming they are still bad?

Ill speak to Simon

ok you can count us in on this cruise.

sounds like it will be an enjoyable drive

provided the road has been upgraded since I last drove on it.

lets just say potholes and coil overs do not go together very well

a very costly mistake.....

but either way were in

not sure if we'll be in my car or the other halfs (brizzi)

when you check out the roads let us know definate meet up times

for us people that already live up that way maybe we can meet up somewhere say Maccas at Rutherford for a suggestion or elsewhere

then arrange to meet up with the rest of the pack.

just a suggestion..

I'm in...

the roads up the way are pretty good now.

My job takes me on them regularly, and even in a truck they're pretty good.

I was just up there on thursday, and the majority of them a re pretty good.

I haven't looked at that map on the first post yet for the route you suggested, but I'll check it out later on today and tell you if I know any of them are too shit to drive performance cars on.

    • From the pictures I have when doing the job the flywheel is the same diameter, I don't think they're playing weird tricks like putting weights at the outer diameter to increase flywheel inertia or anything like that. The OEM flywheel is definitely heavier, but it's not a huge difference. Quoted weight savings of the clutch is 2 kg so I can't imagine the flywheel being lighter than ~7 kg. Kind of regret not weighing it before the clutch went into the car but as far as driveability goes I have no complaints.
    • HKS trigger kit should be very easy to integrate with a Link. It's a 36-2 crank trigger. Hard part is finding the motivation to take off the timing belt and everything on the front of the engine to install it. You also need to cut out a hole in the oil pump housing so the sensor can read the trigger wheel. Changing out the cam sensor for a 24 tooth setup is probably good enough but as others have mentioned depending on what underlying assumptions are changed it becomes more of a problem. Reading the crank state off of the cam is an abstraction that works in the general case, but if you have an edge case it makes less and less sense. There is a GTX2860 gen 2 that can take a compact 5 bolt housing so it's direct bolt on but I'm not 100% sure of what's involved. Peak compressor efficiency drops off a bit on these turbos vs -5s, 77% vs 73% but you get way, way wider region of operation. The -5s have a really strange surge line in their compressor map that is all over the place. If you think the hot side on the -5s aren't open enough you can try the Tomei T550B turbos which a local tuner seems to be happy with:
