ROUTE: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source...,0.013947&i (Thanks to Anthony!)

Meetup: P6, HomeBush - 11:30am

Time is permitted due to people wanting to talk, take photos, video footage, catch up, and enough time for later comers.

Leaving time: 12:30pm

Destination 1: Entrance of National Park

Scheduled Time: -

Destination 2: Stanwell, overlooking beach (Beach Road, Stanwell - check route)

Scheduled Time:

Final Destination: Wollongong's Lighthouse - Endeavor Drive

Scheduled Time:

(FINER DETAILS, i.e. Timetable, street names, etc, will be put up over the up and coming week.)

NOTE:

Park facing same direction at P6 Please (photography purposes)

<ALWAYS REFER TO THE ORIGINAL THREAD POST FOR THE OFFICIAL DETAILS OF THE MEET> I.e. What is above.

Feel free to bring down your digital cameras for photos ^_^

What to bring:

CB RADIOS IF YOU HAVE ANY!

Please make a note down below if you wish your car NOT to be on film in case people like to take photos or footage of the night, makes it a lot easier knowing prior and not after.

:O Raf! whatsup lol long time no see.. ill come to this, needa catch up with you ahah

man i was going to ask you to come to the 'hills cruise' :) maybe get them to come to this!

Yeh man come out and ill shout you dinner and you shout me lunch on the day ;)

well lets try to invite them and get them to this cruise

it will be massive NIght shift will be there, EvoOz as well

im proberbly in, seeing as im from sutherland, i can just merge into the convoy when yous go past sutherland...maybe around 1

or if the misses wants to come, meet yous at P6

weather pending ofcoarse !

:)

Meetup: P6, HomeBush - 10:30am (P6 IS CLOSED, BUT NEXT TO IT IS AN ENTIRE ROW OF PARKING SPACES ENOUGH FOR AROUND 100 CARS, go to p6, and you will spot the long trail of Silvias next to it.)

Time is permitted due to people wanting to talk, take photos, video footage, catch up, and enough time for later comers.

Leaving time: 11:05am

raf and others!

I hope you guys have a great time to-day... a smooth run thru the Royal (despite its tarmac ripples)

Just watch out for pot-holes exacerbated by the rain eh?

I'll be at Penrith RSL delivering a lecture on weight reduction (- for humans NOT CARS) lol

Cheers, Terry

    • 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 😂
