Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone!!

For the last 2 years, the SA car scene has come together to celebrate Christmas with a cruise.

This year will be no different.

HARDTUNED.NET CHRISTMAS CRUISE

Date: Friday, 12th December 2008

Meet: ETSA Park carpark on Railway Tce, Mile End

Time: 8:30pm

PRIZES

Hardtuned.net will be giving away a bottle of Castrol oil to the following:-

"Best Paint" - nice, shiny paint that has been well looked after - Judged by Johnny JSPEC

"Best Wheels" - good fitment and suits the car well - Judged by Benny Mack

"Toughest Street Car" - explains itself - Judged by Nicko

"Overall" - includes those cars on permits - Judged by

There will also be Castrol gift bags handed out.

CHARITY

Being Christmas time, we want to remember those families who are less fortunate. Again this year, we'll be accepting soft toys or gold coin donations from members who have the money or want to contribute - its not compulsory.

ALL items/money raised will be give to The Playford Salvation Army.

The Salvos will then pass on our gifts directly to families who come to the centre for food and gifts.

Those of us with Christmas hats will be handing out maps and collecting donations.

As per usual, police will be notified of the cruise. They are quite cooperative and only target those that are doing the wrong thing (speeding, spinning the wheels etc).

check the ns.com site under sa events for updates and more info cheers

i guess the more the merrier tis the season after all

anyone goin from here? pretty sure i will with a couple of mates from down my way should be free and for a good cause

I'll be there with a mate.

Coz I lost my licence he was gonna drive my car. But today he bought his own 32 so we'll be cruisin down in that!

Cant wait, should be a good cruise!

yeah i was on the last one was a wicked turnout was in a mates car last time but ill be in mine this time best thing is if you don't act like a tool you'll get left alone so its real good fun

Was coming to this as it is alwaysa good event, but can not make it anymore as i got hit in the arma cricket training last night and now can not drive for at least this weekend. :D

Turn out was great but the "cruise" was pretty short and uninteresting - out the carpark, up the freeway, into another carpark. Highlights of the cruise would be tunnels and the part where everyone was all over the place being lost. But I guess the route couldnt be helped with the rain restricting where it would be safe for a whole carpark packed full of cars to drive.

good cruise was in me mates lil red rolla, saw heslo but not the owner :)

the cruise was made that way on purpose, it was said that most ppl know other routes to the carpark so each to their own really, was good to see a few familiar faces, now time for me to get another rb under my belt :)

    • Damn it, I was at work last night, and stayed in a room there during the storm with the car outside, but undercover, I just went downstairs and well....there was a large steel locker that has come from some place last night, it wasn't anywhere I could see yesterday, and yeap, it landed on the fraking car....of course it did..... LOL So, I'll need to take it back for paint and panel, luckily it was only the boot that took the hit, so it could have been worse Serves me right for staying at work and getting on the cans with some of the boys
    • Yeah, really happy with how it all turned out As for aftermarket lip, nah, I'm not really a fan for practically reasons on a street car that gets driven everywhere  I did have the full lower kit on my 2015 STI, but found the front lip scrapped alot, even at stock 4x4ish ride height As the NC sits now, with the lowest point of the car at 110mm, so just legal, some steep driveways and steep speed humps will still "just" scrap those little plastic OEM air dam thingies on the undertray just before the front wheels
    • 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)  
    • 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.            
    • Awesome writeup and details. Thanks for sharing the story so far. I can relate to parts of it with my previous car and some of the issues I had to deal with.
