run home was good. no traffic like usual on a sunday.

what did everyone think overall?

personally there were a few mistakes on my part. which I will correct on the next cruise.

the ending I got a bit out of whack as I was trying to raise the other two cars via two way and missed a turn.

the UHF radio that I had (thanks andrew!!!) were commercial items . range was great ontehm as I was talking to brad and andrew whilst they were still on the hill whilst john and I were already on the flats. I had not idea what band they were on but it was not the 460mhz band. for the 3 of us using them they worked well and kept car spacing fairly even. not sure what was happening on ch8 UHF.

the road to hunchy (razorback rd) was a blast when I did it in the van and a HELL of a lot better in a R32. the astra driver that was in front of us realised quite quickly that there were a lot of cars behind him and moved out of the way.

I had a blast and I know that John (isola) was having his share of fun as well. colin you are a mad man !!

thanks for the support from the SAU team and you guys!!! without you it would not have happened. keep watching as there is another in the works!!

I have a SW and border run already in the mix. border run has already been mapped all I have to do is set a weekend aside to finalise the run before opening it up to the public.

for the next one I will have a 5w hand held UHF and the commercial units.

keep the feedback coming!!

It was a good day and a great drive. Razorback was well fun (even though you were hunting for a brake pedal on the passenger floor, Chris ;) ).

Looking forward to another one!

And Kenny, you bitch... where was my hello?! Actually... what car was yours?

Maaate, I was sitting opposite Chris on the table, my car was the wine red R32 GTR, OZR32 number plates. Where were you mang?

I was in the lead car with Chris. Red 32 with tri spoke wheels.

And I was sitting at one end of the table. I was looking for a white stag!

Hey Chris,

Other than those minor things (which I didn't really notice) it was a really fun way to spend a day, and man were those lunches HUGE. I'll be attending again, maybe in the wedge next time. :)

I know a few people took pics / videos on the day, any chance of some links or something??

there is a facebook page for it. search SAUQLD . if it wont let you add things - make request via the page and I'll sort it from there.

    • Even with no BOV you will have issues unless the MAF is a hot film type like the R35 which has some design features to deal with reversion. Hot wire MAFs are very sensitive.
    • So i just change the (whatever is inside ma original MAF and slide the R34 MAF (it is gonna fit right in? ) and somewhere on the hot side a BoV...i presume that would be vented to the atmo? I just "trying" to understand...maybe my mechanic would know this   I would not mind(even prefer) to run stock BoV cuz it is way more than fine but i do not have that and only pipeing what is left is oem J pipe ... I will be running Blitz fmic(to fit oem one side style) and i gonna need custom pipes cuz i do not have rest of those pipes and hoses... But i am want standalone ECU. Only choice i have atm is Nistune...but that is not gonna cut it right?I dont know what Nistune can and cant do... I know you guys know Link and Haltech...but whatabout ECUmaster? I know guys in here run those but i literally do not know about that and do not know differences... Just know to take whatever "my" tuner can work on.  
    • Is that the blue one rpm?  
    • Update 2: Today I'm f**king pissed. Some of you probably saw my thread that I opened shortly after joining this forum, "urgently need expert/experienced opinion", in which I discussed the possibility of a porous RB26 engine block which I also found hard to believe. Currently both turbos are out since the shitty braided line that was installed by whoever fitted the GT28 turbos leaked oil onto the exhaust. Today while working on the cam covers to put new gaskets and half moons in, I cleaned the side of the engine block with brake cleaner. Some time later I saw that it was still glistening with oil or coolant so I dried that off. But it was wet again shortly after. Verdict: I'm royally screwed. What you can see here (hopefully, despite shit resolution), circled in red, is a crack above the turbo oil feed. Extent is a few cm long and basically goes from #3 cylinder wall to #4 cylinder wall. It slowly lets coolant through, even without any pressure behind it. I am absolutely dumbfounded as to how this crack even formed, especially since it isn't along the cylinder as it usually is but rather a horizontal crack. Probably a few cm in length. Not sure on how to deal with this issue right now. Most likely, the only true fix is a new engine block, and even a relatively well done temporary fix requires at least a full engine teardown. Neither of those really fit my timetable right now, the car has been in my buddy's garage long enough as it is. I'm open to suggestions, but I'll be looking into ordering a new 05U block soon so I have one ready for the coming year, or whenever the current block inevitably fails fully. (Most likely once the crack reaches one of the frost plugs) I think it'd be a waste of money and time to rebuild the engine with this block. Oh and I found a rust hole on the side pocket of the trunk, which someone covered up with sealant goop, a piece of number plate and bodywork filler. Fun times. So far for every issue we fix we just find a new one that is arguably worse.
    • I have not found this no. I put one back on a couple days ago with no drama. I agree they are tight, but no need to remove anything.
