Can't be bothered giving mine a wash, haven't been washing the line as much as I used to, ever since I "modified" the front bar on that piece of kerb. Its too damn hot anyway. Looks like its going to be a good gathering.

haha... its just that another certain car occupying your mind now :)

And a big thanks to everyone who made the effort to show up!

At least 22 Skylines at the first meeting point! What a turn out!

About 10 or so at the top of the mountain... :) The rest of you were doing circles at the bottom or taking wrong turns :P

Thanks James for backtracking and collecting the NOOBS!!!

Good turnout at Yatala too...

Once again thanks everybody... Was great to put some faces to the names!!!

See ya at the next one... Who's organising? :rofl:

Yep great turn out

Good to meet a few more people and put faces to names.

Wondered why so few made it to the top, now I know, it is because the //GC crew are too fast heheh.

Big Prop's to Adrian for getting everyone together.

and i was trying to push away a fordmobile who blocked me on tha way up which made me loose you all :P ended up going around the mountain and into Logan village, took the toll free rd too GC and then back to coomera which was dead, met the rest at yatala but most left home already :hellpisd: a few of us cruised to milton maccus which we saw at list another 6 or more skylines driving in.

    • Yeah the ACL and similar formable heat shielding materials are really nice. But most people do not have the patience or talent to do a good job like that. Almost anything is better than nothing though. Even if you didn't form it closely like that and just had a slab of it slipped in between the manifold and somewhere/thing you wanted to protect, you would gain benefit. There has to be a market opportunity for people like Artec to make formed heatshields to suit their cast manifolds. The fact that they are cast means that they are consistently the exact same dimensions and they could add bosses to the castings like you see on stockers to allow heat shields to be firmly attached yet floating away from the manifold itself.
    • I've seen some stuff like this as well, not sure if it's a good idea or anything but it does have more standoff from the piping than the conventional fiberglass wrap:  
    • 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 😂
