Hey Guys,

There is a cruise on to help out the guys in QLD affected by the floods.

Here is a quote from my mate who is organizing it.

Please join us in helping the poor souls in Queensland by attending our cruise on the 22nd of January! All cars and people welcome! Starting point for Southerners is the DEC at 9:30am for a 10am departure. Then meeting the Northerners at Campbell town @ 11:30am, then down the coast to Swansea for Lunch.

Drivers donation is $10 with a gold coin for every passenger.

Please tell all your friends and help us in raising some money to help our mates in Queensland.

Plus it'll be a pretty amazing drive too.

Regent Street Meats just donated heaps of snags and burgers so looks like a BBQ might be in order!

make sure you RSVP on the facebook page so I know how many people I need to cater for.

By the way as far as I know I don't know anyone else going on this cruise, so if you see me hanging around my car come over and have a chat :)

I don't think I have any with my clothes on... lets just say I'm a bit like a cross between brad pitt crossed with jack black. That's a general invite to everyone btw, nothing worse than being in a crowd of hundreds of people and not knowing anyone, the best way to pick me out is there's a massive key mark across the front of my white series 1.5 r33, with a decent amount of paint chips on the front too, unfortunately my love of driving gravel roads is not the best for my car :(

For serious, I'm 23, about 6 foot, shortish brown/blonde hair. I like long walks on th... wrong site.

Oh damn... I was hoping for some sort of romantic connection or something :P oh well, a man can dream. I might send some pics of my peni... car.. a bit later on. (There's about being on a forum which automatically makes me take the piss, sorry mate :))

Really looking forward to this event, I think I've talked some mates into it but most are put off by the highway drive at first or simply have prior events.

Would really, really love to be able to do this but wont have my car back from having a new head fitted in time for it :( Sounds like it will be an awesome day and would've been a great oppurtunity to meet some of the other guys on the forum. Hope it all goes well for everyone that does make and there can be a good amount raised for the poor buggers in QLD. Good Luck!

There's a heap of cars going with one person mate, if you can't find anyone/don't know anyone I'll have space somewhere in the car (front may be taken but as yet all 3 rear seats are free). It's all for a good cause and should be fun, the more people the better.

Drop me a PM if you want a lift :)

    • Right, its been a while for updating this car, but I made some small but important progress today. In the end I bought an Ecutek dongle from the Australian distributor Tunehouse (for local hardware support) but have gone with a remote tune from Racebox in the US (because they have done millions of these, and I could not find any tuner where I could access the tune anyway as they are all password locked). The App is reasonably easy to work with, but the PC software reminds me of Haltech's ECU Manager that you need to use with the Plat Pro ECUs, it is a nightmare.  Anyway, I sent the details over, got back a tune file and a request for data logs. I finally got a chance to access a private test track today as they want redline logs in 3rd and 4th, and have sent them back for the first round of reviews. The main difference in the tune is going from 1.0 (stock) to 1.3 bar (19psi), although I'm sure is a lot of other stuff in the background. Keeping in mind this is a dead stock car with 125,000klm, this is what the App's performance test claimed: Before After Interesting to note that both 400m tests had the same terminal speed (158klm/h) but different ETs. And no, the speed limiter seems to be higher than that at 186kl/h. Summary of the key logged parameters for the 3rd and 4th gear runs were: Those little turbos were certainly whizzing at 200,000rpm+.  Also I'm really not that excited about oil pressure 55psi at redline so I think I'll go thicker than 5w30 (nissan recommend 0w20....) and see if that improves it. Other than that (and the big boost spike....) everything looks good as a start to me.
    • Just one more post to show the final result and the original "janky" solution for a laugh. Everything feels really tight and no wobbling at all, very pleased 🙂
    • After drying a few days, time to put her back together 
    • The hot exhaust light will come on not from just the cat being blocked, but it's just a temp sensor, and it's designed to warn you to not do things like park in long grass.   If you've been pushing the motor a bit, it can cause the light to come on.   Second if the cat is rattling, I'd suspect it's not blocked, but instead falling apart inside.   The easiest "fix" until you can get a cat put back in, is to unbolt your one, bash the rest of the insides out, and then bolt it back in.   For a daily driver/street car, I am in agreeance of put a cat in the car. If it were race car I wouldn't care if it were removed.
