Friday Night At Grevillea Park


Recommended Posts

So is this still on for tonight? 8:30 at futsal or earlier? later?

Yes, its still on and we're planning on meeting at 8:30pm tonight at futsal - for those who are not sure where it is, see the marques in the park thread for the map of where we met opposite Floriade.

I don't know that I've told everyone the results of the photo competition - Mark (Tuk Tuk) came second with this photo

What you don't pick up in that pic is that although he looks further away, with the wide agle lens, he is only about 12" away from the subject, there was a lot of trust required on both sides.

A friendly word of warning to those traveling to the museum tonight, We have the Erindale Collage Formal on tonight, and to give you an indication, We (security) kicked out St Claires Formal last night for various reasons.

Lots of police were around the museum from 6pm till very late in the evening.

Several Cars were impounded or towed away.

Otherwise, If I get a chance I'll come down and say hello

Reece is in town at the moment and says its raining

What would people like to do? Want to go to Civic under ground carpark? bottom level?

Or would people prefer to keep their cars shite and briny?

okay, it appears as if under the bridge is covered with Elton goers. The rain is causing some problems... although I like the wet ground look, so if the rain stopped it could still be good.

Mark is going to meet Tourismo/Reece at Top of Tuggers multi level carpark in about an hour to test some pics - All are welcome to swing by, although if its pouring rain, they will retreat to the next level down.

    • Welcome Leigh. While it's possible someone knows something about your car, there are so many in the country, it's likely they won't. Either way, I hope you enjoy it and find the knowledge you seek here.
    • Welcome!  Pics of GU and 370z? It's amazing how side tracked we can get with life.
    • G'day. More deets on your patrol? Unless, it's in a d22?
    • So next year I am looking at upgrading from my VE SS bomadore ute to something more refined.  I wanted to stick with a V8 but not anything German or Australian, either a coupe or a sedan. So if I wanted anything newish that limited my options to either the Lexus RCF which I quite like. But with the price they demand and a kid on the way a 2 door coupe is probably not going to be the best idea. The next best thing would be the ISF but the newest models are 2014 and commanding over 60k and even the older 2008 models in ok condition starting around 35k is kind of bullshit. So I figured if I could not have the noise I could perhaps make do with easy power. Enter the infinity Q50 or Skyline equivalent. The price difference between the 300 and 400hp models seems a bit crazy. Right now there is 300hp Q50 one on carsales from a dealer with 61km for 27k drive away. If I wanted to get a 400hp Red or 400R car the prices seem to start at 43k From my limited research it seems that the only differences are that the 400r/Red Red runs more boost and a more aggressive tune. There are are turbine speed sensors on the turbos. Has 2 pumps for the water to air intercooler. Runs an engine oil cooler. I'm guessing that the exterior trims might look a little more sporty as well. I had a lazy look for upgrades to bridge the gap on z1motorsports They have kits that upgrade the water to air heat exchanger as well as the coolant pump which should give a non Red/400r better intercooling temps than the stock Red/400r. I added an engine oil cooler with a thermostat as well to try and make things as close as possible. Obviously the ECU is going to need a tickle. Having not done much in the way of research they also sell a ECU flashing tool with pre loaded tunes that are supposed to boost the non Red/400R by 100hp which adds 1k USD to the cost. The total cost of the parts @ the current time including shipping and taxes worked out to be $4350 AUD. Personally I would rather get the car tuned on a dyno which would probably add more cost Assuming the worst that you got a workshop to install the new parts I would guess no more than 5 hours would be required in the worst case @ 5 x $150 per hour = $750 So the total cost could be around $5100 So for easy number 5k + 27K = 32k I guess that would leave some change left over to swap out the open diff and fit a LSD Any thoughts?      
    • Right, not sure why I thought it to be a lean spike. It might be fixable with modern card-style hot film MAFs which have some design features to avoid counting reversion flow but I've never tried it myself.
