SHOW WILL NOW BE ON SUNDAY 1st JULY!

Here is the plan so we can all go together and not get lost.

Newcastle guys meet up at Twin Servos at Wallsend 5:30 am (for 5:45 leave)

Central coast people meet at Twin Servos on F3 at 6.00 am (for 6.15 leave when newcastle people drive through)

If people dont want to meet there wait on the freeway at some stage and wait for us to go by.

These times are not negotable as some of us have committed to help out and be there early. If your not on time we WILL leave without you .

If all goes to plan this should get us to Granville Park by about 8.30 am at the latest......I hope :cool:

Leaving the twins at Wallsend at 5.45am and getting to the twins on the freeway at 6am. So, the cruise speed is 180km/hr down the freeway? Might be worth getting up that early for this cracking pace.

Just curious as I drive that way every day, and it take more than 15min doing 130km/hr.

Is there a second group that is heading down at a later time....just for those that can't be stuffed getting up at the sparrow fart time??

You might drive that way every day but still doesnt help your reading skills!

It allows us from 5:45 till 6:15 to get there, so when all the Newcastle guys get there the Coastie's should be there ready and we can leave straight away. No one really wants to stand around chatting and freezing their butt's off at that hour of the morning. :rolleyes:

Do what you will but some of us have said we will help out at the show as the fairies just dont come and do it all ;)

Now now kiddies :whistling:

It may seem like an early time, but as has been said some of us are committed to helping out and this is the earliest we can get down there.

In actual fact, we should be down there earlier, but I refuse to leave any earlier than this.

Also, cars are allowed in from 8am, but keep in mind that people will not let in and out anytime they want this year, so there will be a cut off for when you can enter your car.

And by getting there early we can all park together for a much more enjoyable day.

We need a tarp and some tent poles! lol!

I mean come on we have to be there by 9 am and gettting there at 8.30 is not at all that early!

I'm hoping we will be there earlier as I would hope there isnt too much traffic.

I will buy a pop up canopy thingo/tent thing for us to sit under if someone takes it down, I have NO room in my car. It should fit on a back seat.

6am at Twin servos .. *starts to curl up in a trembling ball*

Any of the coasties doing this? After all I have to travel 30 mins Nth to come back south! If no one else is insane enough to get up at that hour then il be waiting on the side of the F3 near the Gosford on ramp! :blush:

Oh well if we need to be down there by that time to get our cars in, then I spose I can make the early run :D

What time were you planning on leaving Jev? Puttting the 34 in as well?

Looking at leaving at 8.30 and heading down with a friendly group.

Neither of the Skylines will be entering, they are well used on the track and western roads so the front bars are far from show worthy.

Are you entering?

Thats right central coast people meet at 6am. Newcastle people drive through at 6 15am :cool:

Wallsend to twin servos on freeway = 30 mins.

Your just a winning personality aren't you.

I went on a Forester GT/XT cruise the other day....and it was refreshing to be around people that are car enthusiasts and genuinely nice people instead of people with their head shoved so far up their arse with a complex of my car goes faster, my car looks better and my car has this.

With such helpful replies as above, no wonder Skyline owners get a bad name among other car enthusiast groups.

So go buy a Forrester then.

I'm just trying to help everyone out so they can get there and not get lost.

To everyone else just ignore Jev he follows me round on every forum having a stab at me. It's old hat now.

I dont understand why you have to pick faults with everything I say Jev its really childish. Whatever the problem is please pm me so you can move on.

      RB20 in need of modest love injection

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      As you're looking at using a Link ECU, then large injectors are not a problem. But there's not really any need to go 1000s on an RB20 unless you're planning >>600HP on E85, which would seem unlikely. There are other options for injectors. The Xspurt ones are available from a number of places and you can get them in the mid 600s and 725cc, which is probably a sensible place to be. These are all EV14 based. If you are not using the stock AFM (at all, which would be the case with a Link) then a large turbo intake pipe to suit the ATR turbos is not an obstacle, so you should use one instead of a highflow. Results will be better.

      RB20 in need of modest love injection

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      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

      R33 GTR lift points for hoist

      By Duncan · Posted

      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

      R33 GTR lift points for hoist

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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.
