Hills Cruise on Sat 14th Sept


Recommended Posts

Well it seems as if there is some interest, so here is my proposal.

If the weather turns bad we will postpone till another day.

Meet at Pelican Plaza(cnr Golden Grove Rd & North East Rd where

Hungry Jacks is) at 1:00 to 1:30pm. Leave at 2:00pm approx.

Cruise up North East Rd through Chain of Ponds then veer left to

Kersbrook.Head to Williamstown(good bakery there) then right to

Birdwood.Stop on the main rd at Birdwood to stretch legs & bunch

up, then continue up to Tungkillo turnoff.Turn right & fang up through the Gum trees then turn right before Tungkillo & head up to Mt. Torrens,Woodside,Nairne, then on to the Freeway at Mt. Barker. Hoon back to town(all at legal speeds of course)& stop at

the Mt. Lofty summit car park for coffees, photos etc.

This is only a rough proposal, so please comment if it's too long or whatever. the biggest problem with group cruises is that the second half get left behind, so I would like to organise several pullover points where the tailenders pass the leaders and take the front.This way everyone can see everyone elses cars & we can stay together.But - if you like cruising at 60kays all day with your arm hanging out the window, this is not the cruise for you.

If it looks like a goer, I will organise proper directions printed up.

Suggestions? Of course any model car is welcome.

:burnout:

Yeah I know, It would be easier to do it earlier in the day.

Sometimes there is a lot more traffic around before lunchtime though.After lunch it seems to clear up a bit.

Suppose we could do shifts - a morning cruise for the early birds,

then the same lap( for those that like to sleep in) in the afternoon. Joking - ha ha.

Could ask the cops to close the whole area off for us for the day!

Hmmm, one way to Birdwood - that would be fun.Wishful thinking!

:)

I`m going to try and get a leave pass from Mrs Bugalugs for this one as Bugalugs Jr should be here by then(any time now).

John-I think Pelican plaza car park may be a bit small/packed with ppl at that time of day(not sure dont live up that way).Maybe kmart ingle farm in the corner near auto centre.The rest sounds good for everyone as there is alot of straight line stuff for the ppl that dont like corners(whatsisname:shake: ) aswell as the mighty Chain of Ponds Rd for me:D

Matt

I cant see why it has to be only Skylines.

This is only a casual cruise for whoever wants to come.

I agree that there will be more room at Kmart Ingle farm -

good call Matt. Hope you can come out for the day.

Congratulations on the pending new arrival!Hope all goes well.

Regards,

Munro.

PS. Who's going on this Victor cruise tomorrow?

Hi Munro,

Nice GTR you got! I was the guy driving my son's overcast blue Silvia SR20DET, and left the R33 4door home due to son's friend not come on the Victor cruise.

The black M3 Beemer driver is a bit of a worry!!!:eek:

I'm coming in my white R33 4door this Saturday cruise to give it a run to see how good it is with more boost done by TILBROOK, and is it definitely Pelican Plaza carpark or is it changed to Ingle Farm???

Seeya there

Graham:D

Hi everyone,

Confirm - meeting at 1.00pm Sat 14th at Ingle Farm Shopping center near Kmart Auto centre on Montague Rd.

I don't know how many are coming yet but I can print directions if

we need them. The LS1 guys were going to cruise on Sunday so

why dont we invite them to this cruise.

I will have to thoughly clean the R34 'cause it got filthy last Sunday going to Victor Harbour. Those boys know how to cruise!!

:flower:

PS. Can someone bring a digital camera?

I will almost certainly be there /unless the wife cracks the ****s *again*

If so, I will most certainly have my digi camera that burns straight onto 200Mb mini-CDRW disks .... it holds a LOT of photos! :rolleyes:

And it takes 15 second videos for deep conversations .... and burnouts *coff* :)

Hope we are gonna have a good turnout .... looks like the weather will be awesome (if not a tad hot) .... fyi I will be taking it VERY easy since my run-in with the fuzz :( .... so John and Robert don't try to razz me and get me to race :D *soooooo hard to do :) *

    • That's odd, it works fine here. Try loading it on a different device or browser? It's Jack Phillips JDM, a Skyline wrecker in Victoria. Not the cheapest, but I have found them helpful to find obscure parts in AU. https://jpjdm.com/shop/index.php
    • Yeah. I second all of the above. The only way to see that sort of voltage is if something is generating it as a side effect of being f**ked up. The other thing you could do would be to put a load onto that 30V terminal, something like a brakelamp globe. See if it pulls the voltage away comepletely or if some or all of it stays there while loaded. Will give you something of an idea about how much danger it could cause.
    • I would say, you've got one hell of an underlying issue there. You're saying, coils were fully unplugged, and the fuse to that circuit was unplugged, and you measured 30v? Either something is giving you some WILD EMI, and that's an induced voltage, OR something is managing to backfeed, AND that something has problems. It could be something like the ECU if it takes power from there, and also gets power from another source IF there's an internal issue in the ECU. The way to check would be pull that fuse, unplug the coils, and then probe the ECU pins. However it could be something else doing it. Additionally, if it is something wired in, and that something is pulsing, IE a PWM circuit and it's an inductive load and doesnt have proper flyback protection, that would also do it. A possibility would be if you have something like a PWM fuel pump, it might be giving flyback voltages (dangerous to stuff!). I'd put the circuit back into its "broken" state, confirm the weird voltage is back, and then one by one unplug devices until that voltage disappears. That's a quick way to find an associated device. Otherwise I'd need to look at the wiring diagrams, and then understand any electrical mods done.   But you really should not be seeing the above issue, and really, it's indicating something is failing, and possibly why the fuse blew to begin with.
    • A lot of what you said there are fair observations and part of why I made that list, to make some of these things (like no advantage between the GSeries and GSeries II at PR2.4 in a lot of cases) however I'm not fully convinced by other comments.  One thing to bare in mind is that compressor flow maps are talking about MASS flow, in terms of the compressor side you shouldn't end up running more or less airflow vs another compressor map for the same advertised flow if all external environmental conditions are equivalent if the compressor efficiency is lower as that advertised mass flow takes that into consideration.   Once the intercooler becomes involved the in-plenum air temperature shouldn't be that different, either... the main thing that is likely to affect the end power is the final exhaust manifold pressure - which *WILL* go up when you run out of compressor efficiency when you run off the map earlier on the original G-Series versus G-Series II as you need to keep the gate shut to achieve similar airflow.    Also, how do you figure response based off surge line?  I've seen people claim that as an absolute fact before but am pretty sure I've seen compressors with worse surge lines actually "stand up" faster (and ironically be more likely to surge), I'm not super convinced - it's really a thing we won't easily be able to determine until people start using them.     There are some things on the maps that actually make me wonder if there is a chance that they may respond no worse... if not BETTER?!  which brings me to your next point... Why G2 have lower max rpm?  Really good question and I've been wondering about this too.  The maximum speed *AND* the compressor maps both look like what I'd normally expect if Garrett had extended the exducers out, but they claim the same inducer and exducer size for the whole range.   If you compare the speed lines between any G and G2 version the G2 speed lines support higher flow for the same compressor speed, kinda giving a pretty clear "better at pumping more air for the same speed" impression. Presumably the exducer includes any extended tip design instead of just the backplate, but nonetheless I'd love to see good pics/measurements of the G2 compressors as everything kinda points to something different about the exducer - specifically that it must be further out from the centerline, which means a lower rpm for the same max tip speed and often also results in higher pressure ratio efficiency, narrower maps, and often actually can result in better spool vs a smaller exducer for the same inducer size... no doubt partly due to the above phenomenon of needing less turbine speed to achieve the same airflow when using a smaller trim. Not sure if this is just camera angle or what, but this kinda looks interesting on the G35 990 compressor tips: Very interested to see what happens when people start testing these, and if we start getting more details about what's different.
