A good idea would be to contact Ashwood and see if he would match the donation dollar for dollar. He gets publicity and does something nice, skyline fans get some food and a cruise, kids get help they need. Everybody wins.

Tried Terry on the mobile today but no luck ! - ill give it another go over the weekend and report back in ! :D

Got any interesting item(s) youd be prepared to have raffled for a good cause ?? - post them up !!

Any further ideas on the preferred date for the day ??

cheers malcolm :banana:

Saturday 31 May?? or any of the weeks after...

dont want to drag the planning stage too long otherwise we will lose interest...

I think we should have a raffle....free tank of petrol....seatcovers...some kind of accessory one of our sponsors might like to donate...

Hi there :P - Well Terry did return my call but got my message service !! - he knows what we're planning and is happy to have us up there & to chat further :ermm:

What we need to do is to decide on a date that will give enough time to organise merchandise / raffle / auction and a Sunday thats not on the same weekend as a motorsport or other event as per Duncans request.

Thought id give the Cumberland Newspaper Group a call - they might run an article if we can supply a few pics - you never know !! :D

So the biggy is the date .... ??.....any further ideas ?? ;)

Cheers Malcolm :no:

- ps - can everyone please start telling heaps of people to come on the day NISSANS or not ! :P - and dont forget your donation !! - which i now think should be $20 per person & not $25 per car as i originally suggested as its ALL about a BIG fat cheque to put a BIG fat :P SMILE :P on somebodys face !!

:D

Hi there :)

Just got off the phone with Terry Ashwood who's away on business till Sun. eve. Ive arranged to call him again at 10am next Tues May 27th to discuss in full all that we are proposing.

Which is: Charity Drive to La Porchetta / lunch / raffle / auction / photos.........ill ask Terry that we'd appreciate la Porchetta getting involved with the donation by means of perhaps matching our "efforts" or some % in the dollar - thatll be his call all i can do suggest.

PLEASE !! - now is your chance to to suggest anything else for me to discuss with him in relation to our day there :D

In response to the above "quote" NO date as yet has been decided on & wont be until i speak with Terry - so PLEASE more suggestions on which Sunday would be greatly appreciated. bearing in mind that enough time to to rally the masses and organise merchandise and raffle/auction be taken into consideration. Possibly late June at this stage !?

In the mean time TELL EVERYONE that a CHARITY DRIVE FOR CANCER FOR KIDS IS COMING UP !!

Cheers malcolm :D

hi there :P

Looks like theres 2 charity for kids drives planned - the one i suggested on april 26 & another suggested on april 29 - not sure the best thing to do as im not sure that 2 charity drives so close together is a good thing ?? - what does everyone else think ??

cheers malcolm :D

      Hypergear Turbochargers and High flow Services Development thread

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)

      Hypergear Turbochargers and High flow Services Development thread

      By hypergear · Posted

      I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.

      Wow the colour matched hard top completely transforms the car. Are there any nice front lip options for the car or is that off the table?

      Generally yes but for some reason I've been ruthless this time around!  I might even need to do another tip run after the way I've finally been able to hit the delete button on shit I've stepped over, stepped around and tripped over for the past 10 years!
