I dont really have time to read 11 pages of threads so im sorry if this has been said before....

I am a northy and i know of a few roads out the back of wanneroo/pinjarra that are not speed restricted and also fairly curvey. Its also pitch black out there at night which could make things pretty interesting.

Anyway if not this cruise, maybe a future one...

Insane - if you have any ideas feel free to PM either me or dan the man - as we are the club events co-ordinators.

Even though those roads are not speed restricted - you legally are not meant to go over 110km/h. Our aim is to organise safe cruises and promote people to drive with in their limits. A curvy "high speed" road in pitch black doesnt strike me as the safest thing to do - but it sounds great for one of our day cruises which we usually finish with a BBQ!

hi guys just wondering how can i join the cruise or skylines australia im in perth is there anyone i should speak too or just show up at cruises. :(
welcome to just turn up but please introduce yourself to US WA EXEC COMMITTEE

cheers

Joe

Joe u know why :D

Maybe we could do a "show off" day kinda thing, get all of us together down at the Esplanade and we can show off the cars, stick up a big skylines Australia WA banner and get some more members, give ppl a chance to ask questions, do a bit a publicity and have a BBQ and play some games on the grass!

maybe do it a Langley park or some where were u can park a lot of cars and lots of ppl will see

was jsut some thing that poped into my head

hey i was just thinking about your cruises.

i dont know how they work, but maybe we could try do like a chrissy cruise or a

"christmas eve's eve" cruise, maybe just a 1day or something,

like what gts4_fun said, maybe a show-off during the day and then a cruise to go see teh chrissy lights or something.

i dont know, it's just a suggestion.

Thanks for the suggestion Matt. It takes a bit of work to organise a cruise and everyone is really busy leading up to christmas - including us Event's Co ordinators! ;) Plus I dont think people walking around with kids looking at the lights would appreciate us in loud cars cruising past. :cheers:

But we are planning an SAUWA day cruise in January, so keep an eye out in the events section for details. :)

Yeah I've driven one before... There's absolutely mad cars.. And easy cars to pull a bit of extra power out of them as well. Pretty much a beefed up Ford BA XR6 Turbo. There rated at 270kw i think? They basically look like a falcon GT without the power-bulge bonnet and only come as 6 speeds. Oh yeah and they produce 560nm (the most of any australian production car ever built) at 2500 rpm.

    • No intention of driving the car the way it's set up now, just wanting to make sure I haven't made any mistakes along the way so that the tune can go smoothly, I don't want to waste anyone's time with stupid issues. And of course I intend to get it towed to the dyno in a completed state 😅 I have the base fuel pressure with the vacuum disconnected set at about 40psi, which I believe is at least relatively close to stock fuel pressure, maybe I'll have a fiddle with the reg and see what happens. For all I know I could be wasting my time with this and I should just plumb it in and see what the tuner reckons. I just find it a bit strange that it seems to be under so much load just free revving, but maybe that's just a result of the turbo slowing down the exhaust gasses and making a restriction in the flow, with no boost to compensate.
    • The boy just hit up google translate and it worked a treat, he said step one was "please urinate with precision and elegance", he then sent me the correct translation  I get some new loctite for the small fixtures tomorrow and get some "dort" going after that 🤣
    • Right, so is the fuel pressure the same as it was previously? If not, well, it's not going to work well. I can understand the theory I assume you are going for, which is: "Run it N/A, and if I have the original AFM, and same amount of fuel and intake air as previously, the fact there's a turbo in my exhaust should still make it run" Which it... might? Provided you don't actually change how much air or fuel is going into the car.. or getting out. But if you have changed that, all bets are off. What is the purpose to even have the car run this way? To get it to a tuner? And if the goal is to limp it to a tuner, you're still going to what - plumb up a whole intercooler system and new intake in the parking lot out front before your tune......?
    • Haha yea it's a bit of a weird setup at the moment, just wanted to make sure I sorted out any headaches before dyno day. At the moment I've changed the exhaust manifold, turbo and downpipe, 460lph fuel pump and rising rate reg as well as the previously mentioned headstuds and gasket. The nistune was already mapped for the car as it was and drove around for a few months no worries. The plan is to run flex fuel hence the big pump, which I've wired direct to the battery through a relay to avoid voltage issues.
    • Um. Was the ECU the same as the one previously there? I know R33's needed R32 GTST ECU's or other tomfoolery to run Nistune. This is such a wild setup. Most people would plumb in the turbo then not drive the car (i.e tow it to a tuner). What's actually changed since it last ran?
