Sauwa Friday Night Cruise *** Friday 10th August***


Recommended Posts

Hey dewds, i have an account here because i was looking at buying a skyline years ago :cheers:

I got caught in your cruise on my way home, on the way back on mitchel there was SO MANY unmarked cops doing about 140km/h weaving through traffic with no lights, were they after you guys? I was speeding and they ignored me >D

Any way I was the blue honda prelude "the lude" :P there were some really nice cars there...maybe if you allow other types of cars i might tag along some meet.

It was an "open cruise", which means anyone is welcome, aslong as they follow our Cruise Rules :cheers:

Hey Paul thanks for organising a great cruise, a few very silly boys, but only a few. Cops were ok, but a bit dumb closing the car park.... "Ok sarge we got 'em rounded up".... "You cannot escape come out with your hands up"..... haha, I think they been watching too much TV. Very foggy, and a little too late for us oldies to go on to Midland. Great fun all the same. Man I couldn't beleive how good the ATTESA is in that weather, nor could a couple of 'lines.

Guess we'd better think of joining now!

I meant to introduce myself to a few guys and never really got time at the meets, so much going on.

Cheers John

Was a great cruise!

I'm glad the rain stopped.. shame it was still a bit wet and slippery though. Nice meeting a few new people! Bad luck to those who had an accident and got in trouble from the coppers, I'm kinda glad I went home after Mindarie or whatever it was lol (im such a SoR person)

Hey All,

Thanks again to the people who organized the cruise.

Was my first Skyline Cruise, been on lots of other cruises and this was very well behaved, not many idiots besides the people in the commodores.

I left after the 3rd meet point, so did not make it to Midland, I left before the cops started blocking off the entry/exit however, I did see them attend the randoms fighting at the service station near by though haha

Alot of nice cars, they have given me lots of ideas of rims ,etc to have done to my car.

One of the highlights was the Fog , that was awesome, was so EERIE (like someone else has said)

Again, thanks all... Bring on a nice clear day cruise... :thumbsup:

I was crying cos you wouldnt stop "accidentally" touching my leg :D

I have only got few here in west perth, didn't make it further, btw, I was the one driving that shame Tiida with a silly G7 DC running around taking photos....lol

    • Getting a decent signal from all 6 throats is a challenge. I don't know for sure, but I suspect that the stock balance tube is not ideal for it. I have done it on an ALFA 4 cylinder (about 35 years ago, so don't ask for too many details). We drilled 4x holes in the manifold runners, put in some fittings and ran hoses to a decent sized (I think it was about 20mm diameter) pipe that ran the length of the inlet manifold. So, it was quite a decent volume. There is a "tuning" balance to be found between the volume of the common plenum on such a thing and the diameter of the pipes running from it to the runners. You need the volume to be large enough to damp out the sharp spikes in pressure signal you get as each runner gets sucked on by its cylinder, but not so large that it becomes too slow to respond to actual changes in MAP. And you need the hoses to be small enough to transmit the signal quickly, but not so small that they delay the signal. You might have to have more than one go at it, if there isn't any actual success based wisdom to be had here. Hopefully there is. Anyway, I would not do it on only a couple of cylinders. I would also not care about "permanently modifying a part". Just bloody drill holes and make stuff better. There is nothing sacred about any GTR unless it is a genuine museum piece that you shouldn't be modifying at all anyway.
    • He's still joining you, he's just delayed it and won't have the fulleh sick ITBs...
    • The strange thing is this is a URAS front bumper (or clone of it). The bumper actually does not sit flush with the GTT hood - You need the addon to make the hood 'long' enough to reach the bumper. I have no idea why they didn't incorporate this piece into the bumper itself.. instead of sticking it to the hood instead.
    • Another thought on this OLD topic: When you paint your bonnet lip, leave a small unpainted back lip/line along the back of the lip, where it rests on the bumper. That way, the line in the back is much more prominent than the gaps in the front/under the lip - and it breaks the hood-to-bumper connection at the "correct" place, when comparing to a GTR. I'm gonna do this with mine this week, so stay tuned for pics!
    • So I'm in the final stages of assembling my single turbo RB30/26 and had a question regarding MAP reference points.  I've seen several recommendations such as tapping the cylinder 2/3 ITB, tapping the intake manifold at cylinder 2/3, or using a point on IAC. First two are doable but require permanently modify part and the third is "out" as I plan to delete the IAC.  All that to say my question is can I used the "bleeder" in the center of the ballance tube as a MAP Reference? I'm running a catch can so I don't need it for the PCV system. My thought process is it "pulls" from all 6 cylinder, and it's between the ITB and the cylinders making it ideal for MAP reference according to what I can find. Thoughts?
