Well definitely a lot of interest here.. amazing, people do read the QLD forums :mad:

I think its just a matter of planning a route, that a large number of people its not too out of the way for, its a reasonable time, and giving PLENTY OF NOTICE.. i think that is the main key. At least 2-3 weeks notice, not "oh I'm going down here tonight, anybody want to meet up".

Sundays is good for me usually. I'll come down to Coomera if its a once a fortnight thing, its not far.. and its fairly open area around there for mucking about later on. But I'm not going anywhere for a while because I'm a bit poor :D

The other option is to get some more hardcore cruisers who want to try the mountains as a smaller group some nights. Sometimes late night runs can be excellent, because you get the cooler conditions to make your turbo go zip, and less cop and traffic troubles... but I'm not sure I guess you want to watch out for kangaroos this part of the world! That was never a problem in VIC :)

Hey Strutto,

Kudos for organising a good meet, too bad we were temporarily interupted by a bogan in a bombadore who came within a metre of a petrol bowser going sideways, what a wanker!

Hey did you see that RX7 spitting flames?!?! When you came up and past me and we took off it ATE me! After you got off we slowed down a bit and saw the flames shooting out the back, it was pretty cool!

Cant wait till next week! We'll have to get some "Team //GC" stickers :D

Ska: Thanks! Yeah some nice flames from the rotor. I've seen bigger from mine on the dyno though :rofl: Betcha the RX7 is in the workshop tomorrow!

Bogans: "Hey man, is that a skyline?? Do you'se like em or sumfin? Watch me do a fully sik donut in my stock EA Falcon in a packed servo with video cameras everywhere" LOSERS...

MELV: Your car is GOD...

Everyone who showed up: Thanks for comin...

Everyone else: This was NOT Mad Mountain //GC... Just a little meet up at BP Coomera to discuss the impending Mad Mountain cruise... Pity we didn't discuss it though... DOH!

Majority rules so it's going to be on a Sunday starting at BP Coomera... Early morning so the Brissy boys can make it... There will be PLENTY of notice when it happens. We have to sus the route first.

Stay tuned for further breaking information...

Yeah, was great to meet some of you tonight and hope to see you all when we go on a sunday cruise up the mountains. sunday at the coomera bP sounds good if we're going towards Mt tamborine, if heading north, glass house mtn then we can split to a few groups.

coomera bp for the gC boys then meet the Brissy boys at office works c/park and cont north to meet the rest at asply maccus and take off from there. what u think?

i went to milton and caught up with bryan, then we went to aspley, got there via airpot and at 10:30 not a **** in there, so we all park in there,(about 12) cars and the securtiy with a dog came out and told us to park elsewhere.

I'm sorry I coulnt go down to you guys, but would be interested in the crusie on sunday, pm me please.

:( sounded like you all had a great time, my headlights came today so if alls well hopefully i can join the next one :)

whos planning on going to drag combat? im hoping ill be able to drive there, either way i am going :cheers:

Zoix: I think i saw you yesterday, at gumdale/belmont post office ? we drove past in a grey skyline with big fmic, not sure if it was you. If it wasnt, then you have someone copying you !

    • I have a 6 boost manifold and it has loads of bends etc. turbo has a cover however manifold doesn’t so I started to wrap what I could without taking turbo off. Very restricted area   are you stating wrapping could lead to cracking weld? Is that because heat is retained?    i have a exhaust gas temp right after turbo and it hits 700degree or 800 at times.   there are areas which is impossible to reach with fibre glass cloth. Is there anything I could apply such as the photo shared earlier which would formulate around exhaust pipe in difficult to reach areas, sort of like aluminium foil flexible to shape it in place?   i think from earlier reply you mentioned acl? Is this what you meant?   https://www.nstparts.com/product/acl-heat-shield-700x275     photo of my engine bay   https://ibb.co/9grHsMN https://ibb.co/bXC8KRM https://ibb.co/KV3kGZc   I am trying to cover bottom of the exhaust manifold which joins the turbo. Only way is to take turbo and possible manifold out as it also touches the engine mount which I don’t fancy doing
    • So....I managed to fix the belt coming off problem, but unfortunately i destroyed my oil pump. While testing and hitting my rev limiter a bunch, my oil pump took a shit. I actually heard it break. In my great wisdom i decided to hit redline 5 times (original plan). Lowered it to 7500 for the soft limiter. Normally it would come off on the first go. The 6th time I hit the limiter the pump broke and as i began accelerating again and hit it the 7th time, oil pressure dropped and the protection kicked in. It actually made a "tink" as if i dropped something hollow.   The motor is pulled and should be rebuilt and put back in 3 weeks. No bearings were spun and i could have gotten away with simply replacing the pump, but since i had to pull the motor....might as well build it   I made a billet tensioner and the belt stayed on without getting frayed. I also made one for a friends R33, but I was thinking of using a hydraulic unit to keep constant pressure on it when the belt stretches.
    • Yeah 98 for me, and 6.7/100 was my actual usage. On the downside the bloody thing still isn't running properly but at least they hybrid system is happy now. It starts but missfires like a bastard, and isn't throwing any code except "missfire". Thanks scoop. I did notice the AFMs are reading quite different at idle 1.33v and 1.67v so 25% variance (and have both changed and swapped them, the issue stays on the driver's side afm) so I'm looking for exhaust restriction (mouse nest?), compression issue or (hopefully not, no physical damage seen) wiring issue. Throttle might also be an issue but that is harder because you can't swap them side to side and not cheap to fire the parts cannon at.
    • I hope you're right and it somehow justifies it's existence!
