But i have my car atm so i would need a definite lift if people are keen to have a bbq. Cheers Rob

why do you need a lift if you have your car?

I would offer you a lift but you live too far away :cheers:

I 2nd moving this to Events section, give some newer people a chance to attend cruises etc...unless we just want regulars? Edit my post where you see fit.

I'm there as long as there are drunk women and a photocopier... preferabbly both... ahhh much fun was had at previous chrstmas parties with drunk women n photocopiers...

someone go out get food put in there own money

people chip in whatever they want, last bbq at bmt it ranged from 5 to 10 to 20 moneys so whatever is payed can be given back to the person who bought the meat (unless they wanna donate) and then the rest towards the club either to the forums or in the treasurers pocket

I can bring copious amounts of chicken and chicken products (were talkin marinates, kebabs, chicken meatloaf etc etc) as my cuz works in a chicken shop and he gives em to me for free (my freezer is full of chcken)

OK - shall we get confirmations going on before we open it up to all?

Which day - Sat 20th, or Sun 21st?

I know Sat was originally discussed - but we tend to have more success getting people along on Sundays.

Is there a BBQ at Elwood beach carpark? Obviously parking is easy there - but we need to confirm cooking facilities. Other possible location is the Yarra next to Botanical Gardens. Again, ample parking and good BBQs.

I think - yes - for open invitation. Also - yes - for BYO, but we could easily do a pool of sausages/chicken etc and collect some donations on the day (like the pre MAS one at BMT).

Would be good to get all this confirmed by Thurs of this week so there is ample time for people to arrange themselves to be able to come along.

Sorry guys,

was moving house, no net for a few days

Yes, lets make it a public event. Yes there are BBQ's and plenty of parking at the beach at the spot that I'm thinking of (only problem is there are parking fees - $2/hour, $6 daily max)

I would prefer Saturday but I can swap my shift if Sunday is better for the majority... but frankly as we know theres no way of satisfying every1 so we just have to decide on a day

The BBQ is best left at BYO I think, particularly because we never know exact numbers etc. It should be a great day though.

I will post Melway Refs and a map ASAP.

    • 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 😂
    • Does exhaust manifold get hot as turno exhuast side? I have a turbo cover to managr heat in the engine bay but  nothing is covering the exhaust manifold before turbo   i know as turbo does compress air, the temp does go up however does that mean exhaust manifold would be as hot?
    • It's excellent but I'm still breaking it in so I'm not 100% sure where it'll end up. I would say it's about 15% heavier than stock and the smoothness of the slip zone is quite progressive but you need to be a little patient compared to stock or it'll bite hard and stall. Stock I got away with absolutely horrid clutch control. Like I said before I couldn't even tell where the clutch would grab when it was stock so releasing way too quickly without enough revs it would just slip and the revs would drop lower than ideal but that would be the end of it. Currently there's a bit of a nasty clutch judder if I don't apply enough revs + find the exact wrong point of the slip point in the clutch pedal but it feels like it's slowly resolving as I drive it more. I would not recommend the competition clutch unless you really need the extra clamp force. I think this clutch combined with the Nismo operating cylinder is going to be exactly what I want. Enough bite that you need to remember the release point to avoid stalling or rough shifts, but progressive enough that it's not hard to drive by any means and not heavy at all. I tried a "super single" clutch on my friend's 997.2 Turbo 6MT and that was absolutely horrid. It runs an electrohydraulic power steering pump for the clutch power boost so there's zero feedback in the clutch pedal and there was a horrific clutch shudder well after break-in due to the lack of marcel springs or hub springs in the friction disk. It felt like the slip zone was the thickness of a single toe twitch as well so it was almost impossible to avoid stalling it unless you gave it a ton of revs and just dumped the clutch instead of trying to be smooth with it. I was terrified of pulling out in front of traffic. I have also tried some kind of "super single" on an EK9 and that makes this twin plate Coppermix look like a stock clutch. Releasing the clutch pedal even slightly too quickly feels like you're getting rear-ended. The pedal is extremely heavy as well and there's no vacuum assist like the GTR.
