Hi Everyone,

Well after the huge success of last weeks cruise I thought hey why not organise another!

I was thinking the 28th of March , it gives everyone a fair bit more notice this time which should allow to get even more of the Skyline boys out , plus Andrew should be back from Qld then?

I also have that friday free too which makes it even more attractive hehe :P

I love the route we did last time so would be keen to do something simular again , except maybe go even deeper into the hills so it goes a bit longer.

Umm Meeting point is up for debate too after the efforts of the twat in the black/green 180sx , not really the best way to keep a low cop profile when stuff like that happens.

What do you guys think? , I am very keen to try out the new tune and see what the beast can do now :).

Rob.

Im guessing you haven't planned a route yet?

How's about up through Clarendon way ( a really good cruise route that hasn't been thrashed out yet ).

I was thinkn Clarendon, Kangarilla, Prospect Hill, Hope Forest, Back through to Willunga way, and ending up at the beach at Aldinga or somethin????? Open to idea's!

Insert whinge about diff gears "HERE".

I know a cruise route that'll suit the beast down to the ground mate. Go up Pt Wakefield Rd left into AIR. Then down the strip & back along the return road x 10 :D No hassle from the cops either!

Is it just a case of swapping the diff ratio for something more cruise friendly, or is it too much stuffing around?

Cruise on the 28th sounds good :(

Yeah @ $1300 a shot i reckon i can get a new diff every week. When my work gets more active, as im off for 2 weeks atm so low funds atm, I will suprise a few of u. Got some plans on the table to make it more cruiser friendly not to mention LOTS faster, as if it aint fast enough. I reckon 4.11-1 or 3.9-1 instead of the 4.56-1 would be better with the new combo im gonna do. Got some Engine mods coming up soon that will push shit loads more power. I bet u can guess whats in the making but. Will go from a street weapon to an all round MONSTER.

Just wait and see.

Sounds like forced induction is coming!

Brad,

You're gonna' need good rubber on the back! Or lotsa weight in the boot :D Can you sqeeze bigger rubber under the rear via guard lipping/different offset etc... Mini tubs perhaps? Mind you the diff ratio change will help reduce the w/spin a tiny bit, not enough though.

Hmm this is shaping up to be pretty big I think :D.. what have I created ?! :D

Umm in ref to the southern route , it just doesnt do it for me, I have been up there about a million times as my parents live at Meadows and it just doesnt compare to the Gorge in a number of ways.. firstly not as windy and not as much "wholly s### that was close!!" action , and secondly the roads are shit, and 3rd there is a hell of alot more wildlife out at night around there due to it being farmland mainly... car vs roo or sheep or cow = not nice , nearly happen too many times.

just my 2c.

Rob.

Whatsisname r u joking? Cut up an ORIGINAL GTR , have u gone crazy ? That the biggest sin! I wish i could but i cant bear to think about it :[

Tubs is outa the question. gaurds have already been rolled. Main prob is hanbrake cables get in the way. Ill just have to do with what i got atm. Nothing wrong with a bit of wheel spin. Diff gears will help stop that a bit i hope.

    • Hey guys,  I'm after some advice and this here is the best place to get it imo. I was a member a looong time ago under another account, with a lost email address. Its nice to jump back on and see some of the same names still giving good advice.  I mothballed my car when i moved to perth in 2013, and after getting towed across the nullabor a few times it has officially done more km's on a trailer than under its own power. Now that i have started the process of tidying up and modifying it, i see the fruit available (and the fruiterers selling the produce) is different than back in the day. hence my questions, as i used to 'know' what to get and now, i'm not so sure. Engine wise the car (92 gtst) has a walbro 255, k+n, fmic, cam gears and and turbo back 3"exhaust. Wish list is a Hypergear high flow or ATR43G1, Link G4x and some newer injectors before a tune up. My goals are modest, only low 200's power wise. i know i could achieve this with less, but i've been swapping out old for new where i can. Every cooling hose has been replaced, along with mani gaskets, WP, thermostat and radiator, fuel pump and timing belt, tensioner and idler, and i rebuilt the steering rack. Regarding the injectors, the fruiterers all seem to sell what used to be considered quite large injectors. There are a lot of options for bosch 1000cc EV14's, and i would like to know if that is a suitable choice for my build. Is modern injector design good enough to run these at the low duty cycles that i likely would be? is there a downside to running a too large injector these days? or, would there be an upside to running a smaller injector at higher duty cycle? I can see that there are smaller injectors still available, but the ones i have seen specifically marketed for RB's are pretty large (see: https://golebysparts.au/collections/fuel-rail-injector-kits/products/nissan-rb20-fuel-rail-bosch-980cc-1150cc-injectors-turbosmart-fpr800-regulator-kit), and i dont know enough about them to say one not marketed for RB's would fit or not. I have searched the forums, and amongst all the posts on older tech, I did see gtsboy recommend EV14's, but no size was mentioned... again, i'm not clear on if the smaller size bosch injectors are also EV14's as they do look similar.  also, if someone can recommend a tuner familiar with RB's in the Geelong or West Melbourne area i'd appreciate it. Thanks in advance guys. Cheers, Rowdy  
    • FWIW the depth of the groove in the rubber pad is not super essential, the blocks are rubber and squish a bit. If you are worried an angle grinder will make a deeper groove quick smart
    • I mean, if you were to move the jacking points away from the original location, that is, away from the wheels and closer to the centreline of the car, then it will be more likely to overbalance and tip off the supports. Same as we talked about before. I was talking about moving for-aft. If the sill is bent outward or inward, then the car would obviously look unstraight from the outside. Hopefully that hasn't happened either. Again, you can do comparative measurements from the chassis rails to see if there is much deflection.
    • Can you elaborate what you mean with your first sentence? I meant move as in the bulge kinda seemed like it got pulled "outward" meaning it got pulled down and to the side with the jacking rail itself, so the load bearing bulge now sits lower than usual and is not level with the sill on the other side of the jack point. Either that or the jacking rail just got pushed in a good bit.
    • As well as being risky WRT tipping off anyway. Yeah, I wouldn't expect it to move. Just measure from the rear one to the front one on the good side, then measure that same length on the wrecked side. You will find the notches in the pinchweld, and the jacking pad. Just spray a spot of marker paint or something there.
