It will go on regardless....probably rain in parts but "shouldn't" be too heavy, doesn't look as bad in the sky as it did last week. Thanks, more from Jeff Newman tomorrow.

yeah, pretty shit turn of events at the lights in Perth. Just Car is not open, so I will call tomorrow and hopefully my Fully Comp will cover all 3 cars. $600 excess. At leas the woman in the Hyundai wasn't a total bitch about it. Funny when Donovan said "is that your mum in the car, is she ok?" :D:)

Sorry about all that Donovan and others behind. :)

Awww sorry ot those that had their cars damaged. Hope it all sorts itself out.

I went to the second meet point and had fun from there on in - was a good cruise - little 'trafficky' in parts but that can't be helped sometimes. Glad i made the effort :(

that was a great cruise for most people. Don called me and told me what happened; I couldn't believe it. I was going to come back and help but I was told to keep going.

For the R33s, I have my stock front bumper someone can borrow until their car is back on the road. It's silver, buts better then nothing. Oherwise someone can buy it for $150!!

Other then that I really enjoyed it. I wanted to talk to a few more people, but my passengers were being unsociable.

:( guys. Hope everything works out ok. That was at the Mount St ?.

On an upbeat note, it was good to meet some new people and thanks to the Silvia guys and gals for the company. Good cruise...Canning Rd was definitely the highlight as usual, thanks for the company Dan...I'm tired, time for a margarita then a lie down.

Sorry to hear about the accident in the city :( Only when we got to Gateways I heard about it, and one guy mentioned a gunmetal gtr was one, a wine red 33 was another (some people thought it was me). Then I noticed Tom wasn't there & had a feeling it was him. That must have happened just behind me, I'd overtaken Tom in the tunnel & you wouldn't have been that far back. Again sorry to hear and hopefully they get fixed quickly.

That aside....it was a long day & after a wet start the weather turned good so even though we lost a lot of cars throughout we still had about 30 at the end. A long cruise, with the exception of the above & the dumbarse who decided it would be a good idea to park their car just around a blind corner on zig zag rd instead of pulling off to the side 5m away, was pretty event free!

Thanks to everyone who came out from both clubs :(

I broke my $380 carbon radiator shroud :(

Glad the cruise was good otherwise, Don called me and said with damage over $1000 a police report needs to be made so I'll be visiting my local cop shop tomorrow I think.

      I know you don't want to hear this comment, but I can't not say it.  I just can't see 200kw being worth the time and effort. Its like guys with NA cars, putting in headers/exhaust/tune for a massive 20% jump in power. Great, the slow car is still slow and you're down $10,000.  My vote is leave it NA or price in a gearbox upgrade and shoot for at least 300KW, preferably 350KW+.  Now you have a NC that will try to kill you from time to time and will be exciting to drive

      How "plug and play" is the Haltech Pro for R33 GTST

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Ah yep. The main message I want to pass on is, try not to get scared of ghosts when thinking about knock/knock detection.  What I mean is, healthy engines make noise. Knock is also noise. Your knock sensor and ECU combo are trying to determine bad noise from good noise based on how loud the noise is. The factory knock sensors and ECU are not good at doing this.  Modern ECU's are pretty decent at it, however I'd still say that you would want to verify that if your ECU says it's knock, that you actually listen to it and confirm that it is correct.  Are you familiar with the plex knock monitor?  https://www.plex-tuning.com/products/plex-knock-monitor-v3/ I expect you're the type of person that would be very keen to play with something like this. It is great knock detection and you can pop some headphones on and listen to what's going on.  Knock that you've deliberately induced in low load low RPM areas is not really putting anything at risk and is a great tuning/learning/verification tool.  I just thought this was worth mentioning based on the way you were talking about setting up a base map and the Haltech base map settings. There are better ways to spend your time then chasing ghosts and worrying about detonation in scenarios that it is crazy unlikely to encounter it.  I was also wondering, what ECU are you planning to get? Will it be long til you pick it up?

      I somehow quoted my post instead of editing it. I regret nothing.
