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.

    • Back in January, I noticed my car felt noticeably weak. I had the injectors cleaned, which seemed to solve the problem -- until now. Recently, the car suddenly lost power again while driving. Suspecting the injectors, I brought it to the mechanic. He recommended replacing them entirely, saying the current ones were getting unreliable and fiddly to work with. I could not find a direct replacement for my current injectors. The closest match I found were 440cc injectors. This led me to look into the possibility of upgrading -- and of course, that would mean remapping the ECU. From my research I found: The OEM Part numbers are 16600-72L20 and 16600-72L21 Both the RB20DE and RB20DET use the same 270cc injectors. There are much better options out there over the old OEM injectors. Nistune could be a viable tuning option. While the RB20DE isn’t explicitly listed on their site, the ECU is essentially the same as the GTS-T version - just with a different map. The ECU code on mine is listed as supported. One concern is finding a tuner who works with Nistune. Aftermarket ECU like Haltech and Link, but this would be the most expensive choice (and possibly overkill for a mostly stock RB20DE) I admit that I am very new to the tuning scene and would appreciate any insight or recommendations regarding this.   These are some SAU links where I got some of my information from for reference: https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/380324-rb20de-injectors/ https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/477396-factory-270cc-injectors/  
    • The inspectors are not forensic by any means but if you forge your documents and/or badgings on vehicle parts and are found out, the consequences are just far bigger than if you just run illegal parts. And their job quite literally is to cross reference what parts you got installed and what your papers say you got. Something as silly as your suspension being 1mm too low will fail you. Nonetheless I asked if someone knew the damn pipe and I certainly did not ask for smartassery or underhanded comments, no idea why you need to be told this. Great way to waste both our time.
    • As useful as you explaining what forgery is... But then again, I wasn't aware your inspectors were also forensic experts and inspect nameplates on each component to confirm everything is original. They must inspect roughly 3 cars a year at that rate. You're right though, my comment doesn't help you in anyway, so I'll go talk to my wall now. Cheers. 
    • Say that to the guy that is going to fail your inspection or tow your car for illegal exhaust modifications. If you have anything else useful to say, please go tell your wall.
    • You must be fun at parties.
