Sorry guys but I also had a UHF and was calling out warnings from the front of the pack, but we got split up too early.

But guys please invest in an UHF radio if you are coming cruising, saves so much heartache and time.

UHF's are good.... what sort of UHF do u have nexus ?? I am not sure how far ahead you were from me, but it was a bit crackly... i have a uniden with the taller aerial (about $100), never had any worries with it, but i couldnt get much out of it last nite....

Later runs thru the hills is better too... less traffic = more safety

My Bad, I think the batteries were running flat so it wasn't giving the range it is meant to.

Oh and it is the $100.00 Uniden too.

The thing with those $100 pair CB's is that they only go for 3k's(eye sight distance) , some better ones go for 5k's, would that work if you're stuck somewhere in the mpuntains and all the rest have done a "Schumacher" on ya.

this CB is a 4watts 4miles

i was inside maccas yoparata, u think i'm gonna stand outside in the heat and watch everyone inside in the air con! :mad:

I was wearing a white shirt and a black nismo cap, cops told us to move bout 11ish. I saw a heap of skylines come in with tyre select written on em, was that u?

Fine I give up, dont know why but it just is not co-operating, please find all my pics I got, well those digital, have not processed the film ones yet, but anyway fine them all here for the time being until I can figure out why I cant upload them here....

EDIT: Strutto kindly has uploaded them to his user area here BIG THANKS!

didnt get a chance to say thanks, as i went caming just after work on friday, but yes thanks, i had an awesome time, struggled to keep up a few times but i got there, MJ dont complain u got snail power.

cheers

    • 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 😂
