Hi thinktea, all V's are welcome. I think it will only be a short cruise though this time. more of a social thing I reckon. Will have to watch the weather, if we get more rain like we have had rece

Gents,

I will be tackling the Reefton Spur (168 bends in 18km!) followed by the Black Spur this Sunday (2 October 2011) in my new V35 coupe for some 'spirited' driving. Aiming to start around 6:30 to 7am to avoid the traffic.

More than happy for any V35s to come along for the drive.

ChrisB, NissanRules, Alphamox? Any takers? We haven't had a cruise in ages!

Sorry, would love to but can't do Saturday (have to take the family to the beach).

As for location on Sunday, will probably be Warrandyte - Christmas Hills - either Toolangi Spur or Black Spur.

At this stage, at least 2 members of the Z club are keen as well.

Hello guys,

Just to let you know for all you guys in Victoria that tomorrow night, there will be a skyline meet at Pines Shopping Centre in Doncaster. For more information, goto the Victoria/Events section and enter the thread called "Apple Peel Comeback". I will be going tomorrow in my V35 sedan/maxima if all is well and hope that other V35's will tag along. It seems that I'm the only V35/V36 owner interested in this cruise at the moment so it will be good to see others out there to rally support :). It will be also good to catch up with the members who were in our last meet up to Dandenong and to Chris' place for a BBQ. Pm me or show an interest to the cruise in the thread.

Hello guys,

8igSky and I joined the Z-Club for their annual X-mas cruise last Sunday up to Mt Macedon and it was a blast. Total of 14 Zs, 2 V35s and 2 R35 GT-Rs were roaring up the Calder Freeway!

Seeing as the end of the year is coming and the weather is getting better, can't help but think that its time for the Vs in our midst to meet up for a chat and a cruise.

At this stage, the details are:

Date: Either Sat 17 Dec or Sun 18 Dec

Cruise Meet location: TBC - Depends on Cruise destination

Cruise times: 10am arrival. 10:30am departure.

Proposed cruise route details: TBC. Either Mt Dandy, the Spurs or Mt Donna Buang or perhaps all of the above!. PLEASE PM ME WITH ANY OTHER RECOMMENDATIONS.

Let me know if you guys are keen

Thanks!

Guys,

Thanks for all your responses. Looks like Sat 17th is looking to be the better date.

Hopefully we will get a few more oks in the next couple of days. Pls pass on the word to any fellow V35 owners that you know.

BTW, I've noted that GTCC is also organising a cruise to Mt Donna Buang on the following Sun 18th. (See the Vic Events section). Haven't been to a GTCC cruise before but I understand that it is for all car types.

If our V35 numbers are, say below five, one alternative is to tag along with them to make up the cruise numbers while still exchanging notes on our V35s. Or I'm equally happy if we do our own V35 meet on Saturday. Any thoughts? Interfooler/Dreadnought - Can you do the 18th as a alternative?

Cheers!

Heard about the GTCC one. Was thinking of attending that one (depending on my mate)

Again Push comes to shove, I'm able to do the 17th as well just need to depend on the time you wish to have a v35 one.

Only really have a house warming to attend, but not 100% confirmed.

If numbers are low on the 17th? can always have a drive to garage cafe? etc?

18th shouldn't be a problem for me and don't mind joining the GTCC guys.

Cool!

Thanks Mayo_85

Gkzlah, if you can make it on Sat 17th, we will have five cars.

Weather report shows it being cloudy with chance of rain in the arvo so I reckon we should make an early start.

Updated details below:

Date: Sat 17 Dec

Cruise Meet location: McDonalds - Corner of Springvale Road and Whitehorse Road

Cruise times: 8:30am arrival. 9:00am departure. (Mayo_85, hopefully not too early for you? Traffic will start to build up if we leave too late).

Proposed cruise route details: The Black Spur!

Guys,

The latest update to the weather report shows that Saturday will be rain free.

Cars attending so far:

1) Thinktea

2) Interfooler

3) Mayo_85

4) Gkzlah

5) Dreadnought

I will be meeting up with some of the z-club members tomorrow night and unless you have any objections, I will extend the invitation for any Zs or R35s to join us if they are keen.

Other Melbourne V35 owners reading this, put your name down and join us for some fun on Sat morning!

Nice one Think, thanks for organizing. If you're meeting the Z club on Friday I'd be pretty keen for that, too.

In terms of the 17th, getting up that early on a Saturday would probably kill a weaker man, but I will break my rules and set a weekend alarm :P

Allegedly I have a potential buyer looking at a car I'm selling around lunch time, but I'll wait and see if they confirm.

      Good points thanks. Unfortunately I can't seem to rename this or delete the topic. Seems like I'll ask the moderators to change it or delete it.

      V37 wreck

      You might want to update the thread title.  V37 ≠ V36.  And it probably isn't a G37 unless it is 2012+ Ininiti or LHD.

      Rb26- Enlarging Std Throttle Bodies

      By LaurelPWR · Posted

      Just a basic run down of the relevant bolt-ons. All e85 First graph 406.9whp is HKS GT-RS, HPI manifold, 3" bell mouth dump / 3" straight through fake cat / 3" all the way to the rear and no resonators, nismo 740cc, walbro 460, oem RB26 itb's, power fc, eboost2, Greddy Spec M fmic, poncams, Turbosmart actuator, splitfires, ARD 150amp alternator. Blue line is same as above but Blitz Dual SBC (before i upgraded to eboost2) and 100cell "high flow" cat. Red line is after installing eboost2 and the fake 3" cat (it's just a 3" pipe with a cat shell welded onto it). Huge gains in response, as can be seen. Black dots are a mates sr20 with almost identical setup but uses a garrett 2871 instead oh HKS. Next grapghn 466.6whp is same as above, but HKS 2835 Pro S with the larger .87ar turbine housing, the special HKS Pro S dump pipe into a HPI split dual 2.5" front pipe and the rest stayed as is. Red line is after I welded the actuator brackets. (It was originally bolted together and was moving a couple millimetres under load). Green line is obviously before I welded the bracket, no other changes. 100whp gain at 3750rpm, massive gain for such a simple fix. Third graph is my current setup, huge changes. 469.7whp R31house twin scroll manifold, twin TiAl 38mm gates, Forced Performance (USA) HTA3076 with 1.01ar twin scroll rear housing, Link Fury+ and loom by 12volt, PRP trigger kit and r35 coil kit with r35 splitfire coils, HKS step 1 vct staggered cams, new oem lifters and performance springs, 49mm itb's w/port matched Nismo plenum, twin walbro 460 surge tank setup + 1650cc injectors, HKS Type R S13 600x300x103mm fmic, individual egt's, 4" turbo back with no resonators or cat and AES true straight through muffler + 4" butterfly off the dump pipe lower 90° bend. It's a preliminary tune with no boost control with using 20psi gate springs and 4" butterfly closed. Once body loom and PDM is compete, will go for 30psi tune.

      Power light apparently functions as a transmission error light, you can try the power sequence to read any codes from the transmission control unit.
