it seems as though alot of ppl are having repairs/work done to their cars. i reckon we keep the ideas coming, but hold off for a while, like early-mid july? a long way away, i know, but the more the merrier, no point in having an event if only a handful of cars show up.....

How about 15/16 July, or 22/23 July. My choice would be a quick meet somewhere, say museum, then a cruise to a nice bbq spot, say cotter, take some photos in the lush green countryside.

if we can organise both for the weekend, how about a dyno on the sunday of the weekend.

other way around could work as well, dyno sat, cruise sun.

anywho, thats my 2 cents, but i might be trying to cram in more than is possible

Oh, and chris at inline ensures me my car will be ready tomorrow

Nothing will get done unless someone organises something and sets a date.

Just pick a day one month in advance and say were done x.

Something like....

Cruise/BBQ Lunch - Sunday 25th June 2006 - Meet at Museum at 10:30am

Post if your coming...

Oh and if a few of you guys are keen, the R31 Guys are having a dyno day this Saturday. 14 cars are coming out of 15. In the morning we will be taking photos. Were meeting up at the bottom end of Anzac parade(where Canberra Cruises meet) at 10:00am, if you guys wanna meet up. Not sure how many ppl will turn up to that but yeh, it would probably be a good excuse for meeting up.

EDIT: forgot to add, where doin the dyno at Autotek(???) the cost is/was $30 p/car, 2wd tho.

Hehehe, that was just an example. I don't think you'd get much turn out for such a event at this short notice.

Hmm, maybe it might work. I'll post a new thread up here and on the R31 site, i think we could make up numbers better.

    • I have a VALCON if anyone wants it, I have no idea why you'd want to have VVT specifically broken out of the ECU as opposed to running it off the FCON/whatever standalone you have.
    • Hi Yes we're a bit optimistic we might get something out of sealing up the two pipes of the external wastegate and reactivating the stock one. I believe the orginal stock wastegate was tack welded shut. It doesn't budge and visually looks closed and sealed. The car has noticeably more lag so it could be at least part of the problem, maybe all. It's definately one of the key changes made since last tune. And it's one that's more difficult to fully understand and measure, not like for instance timing or cylinder compression.  Thanks for that feedback, we'll let you know how this progresses. Fingers crossed.   Regards Rob
    • Transplanting the vvt from a 25neo into an rb26?
    • Well, I was going to say, "Is the wastegate set up so that it is not leaking?" That's actually a different thing to what you're asking about. In theory, if you have allowed the two halves of the manifold to commmunicate (more than the stock manifold does - which is at least a little bit) then the negative effect should be apparent in delayed spool, not in outrigth power. OK, maybe just maybe, a badly set up twin scroll wastegate "crosstalk" might kill the top end, although it's hard to see how. What is happening with the original wastegate in the turbo? is it sealed off properly. If it's left flapping in the breeze, it will f**k everything up. If it is still there, and can be returned to service, I'd be capping off the external (presuming the two halves can and will be isolated from each other after doing so) and have a go with just the stock wastegate. I have an internal wastegate in my highflowed rear housing. The bigger opening and flapper should be fine to >250 rwkW. So there's not exactly a pressing reason to have the external. Done right, an external will give better results. Done wrong, it might just be possible to have worse results. Report back!
