Hi guys,

As i said earlier, KK/maccas livo is pretty much out now as a meet area due to the new markets that have just started. So i have come up with a solution i think that hopefully will suit all the cambelltown divers as well as the westies like parra and beyond:0:)

There will be two meets. First meet at maccas carpark on corner of Woodville rd and Merrylands rd, Granville. Second meet is The Crossroads just off Hume Highway Casula area(meet out front of the KFC there)

Destination: Robertson Pie Shop, Macquarie Pass

Date: Saturday the 23rd of May

Time: Meet at Maccas car park corner of Woodville Rd and Merrylands rd at 10.30am to leave at 10.45am

Then drive to The Crossroads and meet the rest of the gang at 11.20am

Then all off to the Pie Shop at Macquarie Pass

the trip will be mapped out and as we begin to see the interest for it we will decide upon leaders for it to ensure no one gets lost:)

This is a gorgeous drive up a winding mountian, very fun and about time we did something for this regular meet up.

Please register your interest and state where you will be meeting (either Granville or The Crossroads)

Thanks guys, hope to see ya all there:)

can we invite other cars?

Yep of course I will be asking my mate with an STI as well as another friend with a Holden:) My theroy is that so long as the majority is Skylines then is a nice mix to have a few extras:)

Nice ill ask my crew to tag along then :P just all imports

    • 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.
    • I've seen some stuff like this as well, not sure if it's a good idea or anything but it does have more standoff from the piping than the conventional fiberglass wrap:  
    • Jap premium will be 100 RON. You should use 98.
    • The exhaust gases are at their highest temperature as they leave the exhaust port and enter the manifold. They cool as they flow through the manifold because they transfer heat to the manifold and the manifold loses heat to the surrounding environment. Thus, inevitably, the exhaust gases are cooler as they enter the turbo compared to when they entered the exhaust manifold. So, yes, the exhaust manifold can easily get as hot as the turbine housing. Having said that, you will generally see the highest temperatures where the exhaust gases have to slow down or they are concentrated into one area - which is usually the collector on the manifold and in the turbine housing, because the gases slam into the metal at those places, increasing the convective heat transfer coefficient and transferring even more heat to the metal than they might just flowing past elsewhere. Exhaust manifold heat shields are a good idea - certainly for the stock manifold they are there from the factory. People seldom have anything like that on a tubular manifold because they are hard to achieve. Some might wrap a tube manifold with fibreglass tape - but this has a reputation of leading to cracked welds. The best case is generally to put ceramic coating onto the manifold to prevent it getting as hot (internal coating) and radiating/convecting heat into the bay (external coating). All the real heat from a turbo comes from the exhaust side. The gases entering are at ~800-900°C and the steel/iron gets nearly that hot. The compressor side is only going to heat the charge air up to <<200°C (typically not much more than 100°C). So that's nothing, by comparison. The compressor is not a significant source of engine bay heat.
    • Late to the party, specifically joined this forum as I just bought one of these and this thread has been a gold mine of info. If the OP is still around, mind if I ask what gas you been putting in yours? Mine has a Japanese sticker in the cap saying premium but it seems to get way worse mileage on premium (95) than 91. I always thought it was meant to be the other way round🤷 I do think Nissans claimed "6l/100km" is a bit fantastical 😂
