i would love to come and meet/cruze with you guys but  

1) i don't speed for no reason, and  

2) my car wouldn't keep up with all of yours...!

you're welcome to come on any cruise.

I'll keep ya company if ya dun mind cruising along with an older guy :)

as I'm getting older I'm getting more scared than 10 yrs ago...

so I also don't speed for no reason, and mild mods on my car wont keep up with some other beasts out there. stock tyres, stock suspension, stock turbo...

True.

Cruising through GOR, you'd miss a lot of beautiful scenery if you go too fast... kinda the right way to sit back for relaxed cruising, enjoying the scenery, just like when I travelled to Tasmania....

yah but speeding is much more fun.....

Go to the track. Safer with lots of run-off areas in case you overshoot a corner.

boom there is the limiter...oh well...

Get Apexi RSM or PowerFC :-), oh and a matching speedo.

yessss, max knows all about that ey max? :)

Dan got the photos developed but they came out really bad man!!

Blame it on at your work haha. Took it there and their machine stuffed up, had to wait for a while, printed the wrong size and the colour are really dull. The gave me 2 copies though, you can have the other set if you want. But nothing flashy or pro.

Guys the GOR was great fun, but some bit was like a race just to keep up hehe. I guess that is what happy when there is open straight road with 20 odd Skylines haha.

Maybe the next cruise should be a nice relaxing one not too far. Something to show off our cars hehe. Anyone for a Chapel St Cruise haha j/k. 20 cars go in 5 cars come out, the rest CANARY hehe.

The GOR cruise has speed limit of 80-100

Nothing wrong taking a corner at that speed limit if both your car and you are capable to do it. I know my car can't, shocks could be worn, tiny stock rear rubber, I was only doing 40-60 on most tight corners. that's like at least 20kph below the limit.

    • Yeah 98 for me, and 6.7/100 was my actual usage. On the downside the bloody thing still isn't running properly but at least they hybrid system is happy now. It starts but missfires like a bastard, and isn't throwing any code except "missfire". Thanks scoop. I did notice the AFMs are reading quite different at idle 1.33v and 1.67v so 25% variance (and have both changed and swapped them, the issue stays on the driver's side afm) so I'm looking for exhaust restriction (mouse nest?), compression issue or (hopefully not, no physical damage seen) wiring issue. Throttle might also be an issue but that is harder because you can't swap them side to side and not cheap to fire the parts cannon at.
    • I hope you're right and it somehow justifies it's existence!
    • actually, I've had one of those for a while and it gets more use than you'd think. Yes catching subframes, engines etc coming out under a car on a hoist, but also getting heavy stuff on shelving (to a certain height) without a forklift, holding the fuga's hybrid battery....like many good tools you'll find the jobs for it once you have it
    • Right, so God, it's been nearly 12 months since my last confession....  The main confession is I'm a horrible car modifier (amongst other things).  Obviously the pool was a massive distraction for the entirety of last year but really doesn't excuse me for doing nothing at all on the car for this year.  To be honest this year was a mental break to get over the extreme mental torment and pressure I put myself through putting the pool in!  It really was a slog.  The pool is still not completely finished but it might never be....  The kids love it and the wifey and I love it so mission success! I have spent a grand total of 30 minutes working on the car since when I commenced on the pool.  I just have not had a spare brain cell to be able to focus on it.  The thought of working on it just seems abhorrent to be honest.  My heart is just not into it.  Yet..... What I have done is decide that I'm a clown to not paint ALL of the underside of the car while I'm at it.  Originally I was stopping at the start of the rear subframe to then "get back to it later on once I'm ready".  Let's be honest, later on might never happen so may as well keep diving in!  I'm already balls deep so may as well go a bit deeper! So......  I've just purchased a hydraulic scissor lift table to be able to take the rear subframe out as a whole unit without having to dick around with jack stands rolling around on the ground.  Us 6' 8" blokes don't operate well at ground level! One of these- Anyway, will the investment in an expensive tool that I'll probably only ever use for one job motivate me to crack on?  Only time will tell..... Wish me luck!
    • Yeah the ACL and similar formable heat shielding materials are really nice. But most people do not have the patience or talent to do a good job like that. Almost anything is better than nothing though. Even if you didn't form it closely like that and just had a slab of it slipped in between the manifold and somewhere/thing you wanted to protect, you would gain benefit. There has to be a market opportunity for people like Artec to make formed heatshields to suit their cast manifolds. The fact that they are cast means that they are consistently the exact same dimensions and they could add bosses to the castings like you see on stockers to allow heat shields to be firmly attached yet floating away from the manifold itself.
