Could be interesting but that many cars through the city and then onto bondi might cause problems .. i.e traffic lights and the ussual stopping to one side issue that attracts the cops ..

just a tip .. I think dump bondi because its a pain to get so many cars to .. maybe head to clovelli car park and shoot through coogee and back out ranwick and head toward city again n then burwood or whatever..

just an idea

Hey Assasin its been awhile since I have seen you :(

Well done for organising a cruise I know it isnt easy and its great you are giving it a go ;)

I love the palm beach stretch as a nice drive and doesnt sound all that bad the rest of it ...

I agree with Doofs post :( dont worry about the whingers they just love to have an opiuion :w00t:

If my car isnt in the spray shop I will more then likely be there!!

I think a number of your are being unnecessarily negative and bordering on rude to this guy. He's fairly new, he's obviously a keen enthusiast and he's putting some actual effort and thought into organising a cruise.

Maybe instead of shooting him down you could either offer a modification to his plan that you would be interested in or just leave it alone.

For what it's worth, I wont be in Sydney that weekend but if I was I would be thinking that it does sound like most of the journey will be in traffic. Maybe try a 3 or 4 pm start heading across the city to the east, maybe some beaches but avoid Bondi, then continue the way you previously thought. Bondi rd on a sunny day barely moves.

Thanks Abo Bob.. Thats why I organised it for the day, not at night.. I took that into consideration already... =)

I'm sure this cruise will get a lot of attention...

Has been a while Sinful.. Hope the Berowra meetups are going good.. Im not worried about the whingers.. Every cruise I have organised to date, has been awesome.. And everyone that has attended have been great...

I'm sure this will be just as good. FOr those who arent interested in this cruise, please dont add a reply.

As for Bondi, I think we'll give that part a miss. I know the roads very well in sydney, so I'll take us on a very good run....

=)

Unfort I wont be attending guys, drive safe :rofl:

Remember, you guys could also join SAU NSW and do the Go kart day the weekend after (yes I know I know shameless plug :w00t: )

Omar, send the November wollongong link to Zilch when your on next.. Thanks champ.

November cruise? Isn't the Gong this month? And in Nov there's the Sydney cruise...am i missing another cruise? :thumbsup:

Is this a "run" or a "cruise"?

Hahahahahaha :D

I am so in, maybe +3 or 4, see what the girls and boys are up to, but i will be there for sure

Looking forward to meeting you champ. The more the merrier..

By the way, for everyone reading this.... When we do pass through the city, we will be driving at a slower pace. So for those that do get stuck at a set of lights, you'll be able to catch us no problems. I'll give my number at the Olympic Park or Palm Beach, in case someone gets left behind. But I'm sure we'll be fine. I always have my eye in the rearview, so if I notice someone who is at a set of lights, I'll pull over, and so will the chain of skylines behind me.

The only part I'm really concerned about is when we come back from Palm Beach over the Harbour Bridge. The CBD and cruising through Double Bay & Vaucluse is my only concern in terms of traffic lights. Once we're on Anzac Parade (off Oxford Street), heading to Brighton Le Sands, its a nice cruise, as theres barely any lights..

So far it looks like we have about 20-25 cars coming.. Not bad guys..

    • A lot of what you said there are fair observations and part of why I made that list, to make some of these things (like no advantage between the GSeries and GSeries II at PR2.4 in a lot of cases) however I'm not fully convinced by other comments.  One thing to bare in mind is that compressor flow maps are talking about MASS flow, in terms of the compressor side you shouldn't end up running more or less airflow vs another compressor map for the same advertised flow if all external environmental conditions are equivalent if the compressor efficiency is lower as that advertised mass flow takes that into consideration.   Once the intercooler becomes involved the in-plenum air temperature shouldn't be that different, either... the main thing that is likely to affect the end power is the final exhaust manifold pressure - which *WILL* go up when you run out of compressor efficiency when you run off the map earlier on the original G-Series versus G-Series II as you need to keep the gate shut to achieve similar airflow.    Also, how do you figure response based off surge line?  I've seen people claim that as an absolute fact before but am pretty sure I've seen compressors with worse surge lines actually "stand up" faster (and ironically be more likely to surge), I'm not super convinced - it's really a thing we won't easily be able to determine until people start using them.     There are some things on the maps that actually make me wonder if there is a chance that they may respond no worse... if not BETTER?!  which brings me to your next point... Why G2 have lower max rpm?  Really good question and I've been wondering about this too.  The maximum speed *AND* the compressor maps both look like what I'd normally expect if Garrett had extended the exducers out, but they claim the same inducer and exducer size for the whole range.   If you compare the speed lines between any G and G2 version the G2 speed lines support higher flow for the same compressor speed, kinda giving a pretty clear "better at pumping more air for the same speed" impression. Presumably the exducer includes any extended tip design instead of just the backplate, but nonetheless I'd love to see good pics/measurements of the G2 compressors as everything kinda points to something different about the exducer - specifically that it must be further out from the centerline, which means a lower rpm for the same max tip speed and often also results in higher pressure ratio efficiency, narrower maps, and often actually can result in better spool vs a smaller exducer for the same inducer size... no doubt partly due to the above phenomenon of needing less turbine speed to achieve the same airflow when using a smaller trim. Not sure if this is just camera angle or what, but this kinda looks interesting on the G35 990 compressor tips: Very interested to see what happens when people start testing these, and if we start getting more details about what's different.
    • I know right. It baffled me. There's no way when the engine is off, key is in ignition, (coils are dissconnected aswell), also my sound system was dissconnected (I don't run any audio capacitors), battery reads 12.2v and with the 10amp fuse blown I was measuring 24 to 30v. The reading would move a bit from 30v to 24v which was weird. I took a pic of the multi meter reading 🤣: (This is a brand new single channel digital oscilloscope that also has a multi meter mode).   Before when the fuse was blown, I had one lead on the 12v supply (green/white wires) of that brown relay and the other lead on the negative battery terminal. When I turned the key on ignition (engine off), it would read 30v. Then when I removed that relay from it's plug and tried putting ignition on again, it would read 12v, but I think it's because it can't turn on the ecu now that I removed it. I asked Chatgpt and this is what it had to say:   Not sure if those theories would be possible but, any auto sparkies here? welcome to confirm. 🤷‍♂️  No idea, but if it happens again, atleast I know what type of issue it is, unlike last few months where I didn't know what was causing all my issues and I was just taking stabs in the dark to figure out what type of problem it was. If it does happen again I'm going to investigate futher and trace back the source even more and inspect more circuits. I drove it to work this morning and the car drove and boosted fine. Yeah I was thinking the same, so I've imported my back up saved map (which is the map that I saved when it got done tuning) back onto my haltech with the base fuel pressure set to 43.5psi.
    • Yeh nice, if your in melbourne could you recommend any exhaust shops in the east that do a good job?
    • Sorry yes, this is what im after Also, that jpjdm site appears to be offline
