Thanks for coming along everyone, I really enjoyed it even if I wasn't in my car :D Wasn't expecting so many people lol, so sorry to anyone who didn't get a map.

Apologies again for the mistake in the map, that was my bad lol, glad it didn't mess everything up too much. I hope everyone had a good time, I was f**kin loving cruising with that 35!! Porn on wheels...

Make sure you check out www.westcoastcruisers.com.au, tonight is what we are all about and we are always trying to get some awesome cruises and events happening.

Also big thanks to Socs for leading from the first meet point to Warwick as I had no idea where I was going :thumbsup: And thanks to Bretto for being my voice all night lol, next time I won't have such a big night the night before...

Hope to see you all at the next one!!

sorry James I was relying on a dodgy navigator that decided to tell me to turn left at the last second and had to chop some people off :thumbsup:

nice people stopped at the lights on reid hwy, hopefully everyone got out in one piece.

I'll put some pics up later.

There were a lot of awesome cars there last night... I loved that white R33 GTR as well, very clean. And that white Legnum was nice as well. Mikey, your car is just beautiful though, still my fav :ninja:

Also very happy we didn't get any trouble from the cops, the ones that pulled up seemed like they were sensible and were just checking out our plates. Didn't see any cops for the rest of the night so they must not have called it in.

James, sorry again about Walker man, is the damage very bad?

Thread Cleaned and Warnings handed out.

Guys,

Keep all speeds and activity in regards to other Clubs cruises off SAU/SAUWA

SAU/SAUWA does not condone or promote attendees of other Car Club events and their actions.

* Edited

Agree with Mike, keep those types of things unposted, for your own sake.

WCC in no way condones that sort of behavior on the road. Therefore WCC and the organizers of this cruise take no responsibility for the actions of any of the attendees.

* Edit as asked Martin

Agreed with what Martin said. WCC cannot be held responsible for what people do. You're all individuals, your actions are your responsibility :P

Having said that, I had fun whoring in the blue Onevia. Well done with the cruise Martin, hopefully you'll have your car back next time.

Considering stock power (or at least stock components) will do ~360whp on 98 by simply turning up the boost on the stock gear on a RB26, that would be where I'd say the cutoff point for "sinking endless amounts of money into the engine" Cause to even do this reliably you'd probably need to replace all the bits anyway cause they're old, starting your sinking journey anyway. I reckon the least painful way is rebuilding the engine to make 50hp over stock lol. The 'plan your ownership around a rebuild' was a common saying 15 years ago.
    • Well, the NA RB25 is nothing special in terms of the amount of power it makes stock, nor with any easy mods like extractors & exhaust, opening up the intake tract, etc, etc. And just like any small capacity NA engine, getting lots of power out of them takes a fair bit of money and, depending on how far you go with big cams and high compression and so on, quite grumpy to drive. So, boost is the answer. Many many many of them have had a turbo added. This is easy enough. Same as for any engine. Need the things you need to bolt on the turbo of choice, fuel system and management upgrades, clutch, stronger gearbox ( you do not want to run a boost RB25 through the NA box), diff, brakes, etc, etc, same as you would for most other NA+T things. Some much smaller number have had a supercharger added instead. These are good and cool, but have nowhere near the potential of the turbo route. All the same required upgrades apply. So, potential? Anywhere from not much to quite a lot, depending on how much effort and expense you want to go to. Is there value in the effort and expense? Objectively, no, there is not. If you're gaining enjoyment and don't mind blowing a lot of money on the project, then that's where the value is. Parts? Nissan dealers for some. Many many on-line vendors who do Japanese manufacturer spares (buy buying them from disposals at dealers around the world, direct from manufacturers, increasingly from Chinese knockoffs, etc) and warehousing them in Dubai or similar places. Amayama, Partsouk, etc etc. There are quite a few. Some local to Australia, some local to Europe, some local to the US. You can upgrade literally everything. For an NA, unless you're going to boost it, there's little point going past a nice exhaust, as I said above. After that (well, actually probably even before that) you should concentrate on making it handle the best it can, good brake components, light wheels and tyres, and just make it something to enjoy throwing through the curves. You'll never, ever win any drag races, so it needs to be taken as a nice point-to-point car. Throw in some Recaros or Brides, nice Momo wheel and gearknob, so it's pleasant to be in (because god knows, the inside of an R33 is not a pretty place!!) and away you go.
    • How many $$$ do you have to slip cams to logbook a car that’s not the orginal to the 1990 standard lol
    • Thanks for the update I truly appreciate it. I was trying to figure out the sensors.
