We aren't going into Wisemans Ferry if thats what your referring too, and dont think we'll be stopping along the way due to the amount of cars we've got attending lol.. but once we get into Windsor, definately keen for the feed champ haha ;) then (whoever is keen) we'll head upto Hawkesbury Lookout- which from there is a 10min drive to the Hwy, easy run down the M4 back down Sydney way.

sounds like its gonna be an awesome cruise. first cruise since i got the car! =D hope it'll be great.

anyone wanna meet up before? i live in marsfield next to eastwood

I'd love to come but I think the 33 will be to hard to push the whole way, my build is taking too long.

Guys as a local of Dural/Arcadia please watch out for the green commodore that does laps of old northern road between round corner on glenorie.

He is (un) affectionately known as "captain canary" and will pull you over if you fart at the wrong time. He has even pulled over some of my friends wives in there 4wd's because they have mag wheels.

Just a friendly warning ;)

Also please disregard the primary thread showing you the cruise route & directions!! The NEW upated primary thread is down the bottom of the 1st Page!!! Cheers

How many run BOV's is that going to be a hassle on the run ?

Phill

Guys don't let it worry you I just wanted to let you know about him.

I mean in ten years of owning my line he has never pulled me up and it's far from stock sounding. But he has gotten a few friends and defected two friends wives for mags so maybe I've been lucky.

I reckon if you all stick together and no one acts like a but monkey you'll be sweet.

Hey you may not even see him at all.

Better to be duly warned than get a surprise. Once you hit Cattai Ridge Road you out of range ;)

Keep an eye out for a really sad looking guy standing at the top of his driveway with his SAU lanyard waving...........it will be me wishing I could be there

Hopefuly we dont see him, but then again will be hard for him to pull all of us up hahahaha.. im not stressin cause we'll be in a big group!! :whistling::banana: Sounds like his on a power trip though ay :spank:

But we're not taking Cattai Ridge Rd. anymore, we're heading up Old Northern & taking Wisemans Ferry Rd. now, i went for a drive and thought it was much nicer (views & on the tires/rims) seeing the roads been re-done :cool:

Cheers Dave, thank you for the heads up, much appreciated...

Im runnigs a BOV too, and probably over $5,000 worth of other defects!! Just dont make yourself a target, with stupud behaviour... on our last cruise to Terrigal which was for charity, someone did a burnout & got they're car impounded... Other than that the cops left everyone else alone, i've never had any problem on previous cruises!! All i can say is; Be the loudest one, who wants attention, and you'll get it- you'll be the weakest one!! Just bring your common sense & stick to road rules, and we'll all be sweet. Cant wait, will be a great day out cruisin ;)!!!

Oh the peace of mind of having an engineers certificate haha. Hopefully my days of defects are over!

I would be really interested in bringing my 180sx along for the cruise :) I live in the mountains so would come to Hawkesbury lookout as well as its on the way home :)

You'll all have to come say hello and be friendly though as i wont know anyone else :(

    • Bump on this to not make another post, had a ‘head drain’ leak on me and have the engine out as we speak. Planning on just putting a new freeze plug back in , plug the tapped holes and just be done with that headache.    Now I still want to relieve pressure to allow oil to pass down the blocks returns easier. I’ve seen catch cans with multiple vents help folks with this issue on this forum.  I’m wanting to make my own. I have some pictures here of my setup if anyone can help how I should plumb and design the catch can I would deeply appreciate it !   rb25 Oil upgrades: 1.0mm restrictor n1 pump/billet gears extended crank collar  extended sump with trap doors/w welded fitting    
    • The Frenchy's kit is the way to go forward. A modern compressor that weighs about 1/2 as much, is at least twice as efficient, and will do a good job on R134a. And of course the kit has everything else you need to connect it up and have it work properly.
    • Hey all , I am in the process of having the AC system in my r32 GTST converted from r12 to r134a and I’m being told my compressor has gone bad and I will need a new one. I was wondering if anybody has any suggestions for what is the best route to go aside from dropping $1500 on a new oem one? I did see that Frenchy’s performance garage offers a kit to mount a Toyota compressor, has anybody actually used this kit on their car? Or is there anywhere I could purchase just a clutch? Any help is appreciated.
    • Well, your RB20 ECU loom won't have wires for the boost solenoid, that boost sensor, and possibly one or two other things. There could be differences in seemingly random things like the charcoal canister purge solenoid, because the 25DET has to handle boost in the vacuum system and the 20DE does not. I don't know - I haven't looked. It is very likely that all the most important things are same-same, being the main sensors like AFM, CAS, etc, and the injectors and ignition. Not that you'll need the AFM for the Haltech anyway. I would suggest that you would seriously want to sit down with the pinouts for both ECUs and just go through them and highlight green what is the same, orange what is different/missing, and make a plan from there. It's not going to be difficult. It will either be the same or need to be fixed.
    • yeaaa that's why I haven't done any wiring to the stock ecu harness because I have the haltech, but then that leads me to the other question of "is the pnp harness really plug and play?" or would I have to still switch some pins/wires over because the pnp is for the rb25det neo harness, and not for the rb20de neo harness. was really hoping to find something to spoon feed me since so many people have done rb20neo + t conversions, but man this is rough.
