Man what a shitty second run, but if it wasn't for that detour through the hills I would have been totally bored with that cruise. I reckon it should have just gone that way, through the twisties and then stopped at the closest large carpark area to it. f**k Canning Dam!

My car makes a weird scraping noise when I turn right, lol

Guys with megaphones, lol

My god! That was perhaps the biggest turnout I've ever seen at a cruise! what was the count? roughly 150 hey? I got stranded in one of the last groups to leave city west, and someone got me lost so i had to bail... Not happy. Anyone tell me how it went?

Not enough maps, someone got us lost and we did that super bendy Croyden Rd in Roleystone twice, had a Chaser passing us up the inside on those tight blind bends :down:

Ending up going back down the hill and waiting at the BP on Albany Hwy for everyone to come past, did anything happen after Leach Hwy maccas?

Awesome cruise last night guys.. and I didn't even know about it until I completely by accident met up with a group and started following out Mundaring way.

I was just out for a casual drive with a mate!

Love the supra doing massive donuts bouncing off the limiter 10 mins after i arrived at the final meeting point... that was my signal to GTFO :down:

the cruise was great fun i must say thru the back of the hills lots of twists and turns realy gave my coil overs a work out! scary as f**k thru some of the sharp turns car wants to follow the turns the 2 way in the rear wants me to step sideways off a cliff lol! overall a great turnout at city west i must say! pitty i had to bail off just before truck stop had to drop the miss off! any idea what time the cruise ended up going till?

yer it was long and yes in some parts confusing but sic roads and a massive turn out well done i have a great night cant wait till the next run . the gtir pulsar was the luky one of the night hiting a roo with no damage luky man .

the hills were good fun

did the whole mundaring wier rd the realised we were supose to turn off way back, turned around to find bout 20 other cars did the same thing, so i led to way back to the turn off eventually found the guy with the gti-r, other wise we would have missed another trun

OMG those f**king retards with the loud speaker, man they were pissing everone off (or maybe just me), but the worst thing was they thought they were so damn cool...

    • Isn't there a fitting on the back of the balance tube? That's what the OEM boost gauge uses.
    • Getting a decent signal from all 6 throats is a challenge. I don't know for sure, but I suspect that the stock balance tube is not ideal for it. I have done it on an ALFA 4 cylinder (about 35 years ago, so don't ask for too many details). We drilled 4x holes in the manifold runners, put in some fittings and ran hoses to a decent sized (I think it was about 20mm diameter) pipe that ran the length of the inlet manifold. So, it was quite a decent volume. There is a "tuning" balance to be found between the volume of the common plenum on such a thing and the diameter of the pipes running from it to the runners. You need the volume to be large enough to damp out the sharp spikes in pressure signal you get as each runner gets sucked on by its cylinder, but not so large that it becomes too slow to respond to actual changes in MAP. And you need the hoses to be small enough to transmit the signal quickly, but not so small that they delay the signal. You might have to have more than one go at it, if there isn't any actual success based wisdom to be had here. Hopefully there is. Anyway, I would not do it on only a couple of cylinders. I would also not care about "permanently modifying a part". Just bloody drill holes and make stuff better. There is nothing sacred about any GTR unless it is a genuine museum piece that you shouldn't be modifying at all anyway.
    • He's still joining you, he's just delayed it and won't have the fulleh sick ITBs...
    • The strange thing is this is a URAS front bumper (or clone of it). The bumper actually does not sit flush with the GTT hood - You need the addon to make the hood 'long' enough to reach the bumper. I have no idea why they didn't incorporate this piece into the bumper itself.. instead of sticking it to the hood instead.
    • Another thought on this OLD topic: When you paint your bonnet lip, leave a small unpainted back lip/line along the back of the lip, where it rests on the bumper. That way, the line in the back is much more prominent than the gaps in the front/under the lip - and it breaks the hood-to-bumper connection at the "correct" place, when comparing to a GTR. I'm gonna do this with mine this week, so stay tuned for pics!
