oei!! wat Genisis ?!?? :)

I am in too!

usual routine, brisbane ppl meet at 7.45pm Milton Maccas and leaving at 8pm sharp.  I will be going down to Yoparata's place personally to make sure he's on time  :(

Yes, i also heard Genesis saying lets meet :sadam:

nah never found it, i may come out but it will have to be in dads ute or something?? its a ss, but its got something in common with whats happening to my car :) im so excited i pick my half cut up on monday, heard it running yesterday mmmmmmmm

Hey guys!

I am keen to sign up for my maiden voyage with you people on thursday night with a friend in one of his GTRs (hopefully) so if we are good to go, we will meet and greet at Milton Maccas at 7:45pm!

hmmm a NA 33 with a phatt V8 in it hey....sounds different....i like!! :nowigetit

Cheers

:wavey: See you on thursday. I hope you don't have to ride in the gtr though. It'd be nice to see your new gtst.

:wavey:  It'd be nice to see your new gtst.

ahhhh yeah,,,,

about that, complience is delayed another week because the parcel shelf was broken by the warfies when they stole my speakers!! So gettin another on tuesday and takin it down on wed,.....sooon Charly....soon..

Haro

Guys PM's will be sent out later this week which will include departure time, first stop and destination, only to those on the list though :P

But last time we had 15 people turing up we had like 30 :rofl: So hopefully it'll be a hum dinger again :)

R33Steve - I dont know where/when/if the brisbane people are meeting up but if you can make it down to Yatala by about 9pm, I got plans to leave between 9pm and 9:30pm.

So the drive from Milton to Yatala is only around 30mins so you should be able to make it down here fine.

Other than that, you might want to try PM'ing some of the other Brissie crew to see if they want to wait for you. (NA_R33, GenesisR32, yoparata, etc etc)

Hopefully see you there?

    • 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 😂
