Hey guys i would like to come cruising in my torana with u guys more often but its not set up for cornering in the hills etc.

Maybe we can organise some friendly local cruises around the streets of adelaide etc. Prob is with 4.56 gears in the diff she only does about 175 kph flat out @ 7500 rpm if u get my drift :]

well Joel i dont have a skyline its a Torana.

4.56 nine inch diff , good for 1200 hp

Yes its got plenty of power for a SIX cyl but 170kph max is not very good for victor harbour cruises with u guys, maybe ill con John to take me in his R34 or go a little slower not like 250kph then i might go and be able to keep up.:confused:

I think you mis-understood me.

You are running an auto/4speed (manual) at the moment?!?!

If so slap a 5 speed in it.

Or is it cammed up that much that it would be a pig to drive with a manual.

Yeah its Cammed up real BIG solid cam and 5000 stall 3 speed auto. Also has drag suspension so these hills cruises r pretty useless for me unless u dont do 200+ kph and with john around i think thats impossible. I like cruising but not when u guys just go 200 kph and leave me behind. dont get me wrong i dont mid hills etc but most cars out handle mine by far and im not gonna crash it trying to keep up. So if some guys r just casual cruisers " Its Not A Race" ill gladly come along. But if u intend to race around the hills well ill stay home.:D

Brad - DONT BE WEAK!

Your car is sick and you know it.

Besides, you can come with me anyway & keep your rocket

for blasting round the 'burbs & scaring people.

You know - it was YOU the cops heard going past the BP the other

night. Your car is a weapon. I doubt anyone will be doing 200kph

on the hills cruise. Hmmm. Okay- maybe a few will. But, we will

have planned passing spots so everyone can lead for a while.

If we were to go through the hills i'd be sitting with you as i don't really like hammering around the hills.

Well ok I Lie...

the problem is I get screamed at by the other half sitting in the passenger seat. :lol:

But I don't mind.. I havn't got suspension any how as I like the hard launches and soft ride :D

Is your car able ot handle a medium pace GTR KING?

I'm not really sure how the drag setups affect the handling side of things.

Yeah i can cruise at 130kph @ around 5500rpm car loves those revs, does handle reasonable eg can still corner but the shockers r 90-10`s so it tends to lift the front end to transfer weight to rear wheels , that can be a problem if u hit a bump going around a corner as u loose grip easy with the weight transfer.

I am still considering going if ppl dont leave me behind even if i do 130kph but i would get lost as i dont know my way around those hills. So if some one wants to stick with me and knows where to go ill consider it. I bet traffic would hold most of u guys up anyway. Do as i do blow past em @ 121 decebels and scare the **** outa them and watch them swerve heheh.:D

You might say I'm a very concious driver of speeding.

I flatten it to the speed limit but don't like sitting on 130.

I may hit 130 quickly accelerating out of a corner but i usually back off.... USUALLY :D

Mind you thats probably why i've only ever got 3 speeding tickets.

First one I got just off my P's was 134 in a 110 zone.

71 in a 60 and 74 in a 60..

:D

I just wanna know some one will cruise along with me so i dont get lost. Yeah sure ill give it some squirts myself but not gonna race round corners like Peter Brock i mean Munro hehe.

So if u e willing to hang with me so i dont get lost ill be in for it.

Im not gonna do 50 kph trust me.

I'm sure there will be plenty of peeps taking it reasonably easy. Especially seeing a few of us won't know the roads too well. :)

The maniacs can fly ahead and the rest will catch up at meeting points :lol:

      Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC IAT is measured under the blower hat I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c

      Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?

      I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......
