GenesisR32, yep we're in it and another R33 white will be joining me, that's 5 now :cheers:

p.s.

after the mtn run last thursday which i've done a few 360 :headspin: i realized i need new tyres :boobs: , does anyone know where's the best place to get em, like good deals?

springwood crazy clarks sounds good. Like what Nismogirl said, the car park is big and its possibly the best 'neutral' meeting place for both sides.

how about meeting at 8.30pm, have a little social gathering and chit-chat, put names to faces and then finally decide where we all wanna go from there?

each of us will have different suggestions and chances are that we will eventually be split into smaller groups for cruises, mountain runs, home, mistresses :), etc, etc, ... but at least you will still get to choose whatever activities you wanna participate in on your own free will. :)

i got fedrals on my car, they just wore out :) i had 235's though on 18". hard compund and I have to get tyres today as mine ****ed up >=[

I have Khumo 265 35 18"s on the rear, they were about $30 buck dearer than Nankangs.

I've had them since Nov 2002 and they still have heaps of tread!

Got them from Quick Fit at Capalaba.

I might be in this Thursday,.

Agreed, we need somewhere closer to Brisneyland.

As I said, we will only be at the meeting spot to have a chat, then we will probably head home. So don't get cranky at me for organising it and then leaving. Cause people do that quite often when i've said "we are only going to be out for an hour or so"

*scratches head* Yatala is NOT close to the northside. It would be like a 40 minutes drive, and a 10 minutes drive for yous.... I dont really call that fare :S

lol sorry erin, i was doing three things at once when i wrote that...

as said in above post all ideas to mix things up in the name of fairness and fun is great...

    • 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 😂
