I doubt that I can make the cruise but there is a lot of truth to what Matt has said.

If there are many cars it will be best to put them into groups to ensure it does not cause issues for local traffic. Also, when we run official SAU cruises we register the cruise with the local authorities to ensure there's no ill will about potentially causing traffic congestion.

For our large cruises we designate a leader and tail car for each group. We also then stagger the groups at least 15 minutes to ensure that possible traffic congestion is minimised.

If this cruise gets that large someone should consider doing the same.

You're joking about 100 + or - cars right?

You'll need to lodge a Schedule #1 Application with Police for that number of cars. That's why "Cruise for Kids" got into strife

Would be good to go for a drive with the weather looking clear and all... Might take the Clio. :)

Did you at all scrape the LHS of your splitter of your GT-R (on previous runs) in G/Gorge doing left hand hairpins? Or did you swing wide Matt?

Only ever taken the Clio through Galston Gorge before, or a regular car, not the GTR as yet... sounds like Steveo knows more about doing that...

I think there's the potential for minor scrapeage of the splitter if the car is lowered + the steering lock of GTRs generally not being the best with wide wheels and all. I'm sure most will manage if they take it easy

Yeah it was probably hyperbole re the number of cars but if its a casual meet up of mates going for a drive would you really need to make some kind of formal application? Can understand if its an organised charity thing but just a random club drive...

oh and what kind of strife did they get into? the impounding? pretty dumb stunt to pull when you know the Po Po would be watching..

Its just a casual Sunday cruise guys, it not like a major event (C4K) where we will be causing traffic congestion... and i didint tell the Police about our Charity Cruise to Terrigal- and we had over 150cars come on that- no Cop trouble what so ever. i mean they were there, but they didnt bother us because we were behaviing ourselves.. so obviously the same principal applies to Sunday, as i've stressed out previously!! However, if i find there are too manny cars attending this one, i will designate groups though- thanx for that idea :)!!!

The ferry will be more of a concern than the Gorge

Ferry?

What effin ferry? >_<

We'll be nowhere near the Sackville or Wisemans Ferries; and my car can't handle an approach to a ferry Dave!

i live right next to Sackville Ferry and have for my entire life, and unless it is dead low tide most cars will make it on, if the ferry driver sees a low car like a skyline waiting they usually run it a bit further up the ramp to make it easier...

i dont see why most people would need to go that way though? unless they were taking an alternate route home

Haha I do. Clio has a sunroof though; need to put some colour back into this pasty complexion after so much rain! :P

Would be great to see your 32R there Michael. Wanted a closer look at it on the last run down through Nasho but you had to turn off for some reason if I remember.

Sounds like it's going to be a good time tomorrow :)

Gonna pack some V for the early rise.

Cars waxed and polished waiting to gleam in the sunshine :)

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      By DraftySquash · Posted

      It was roughly 3.5 hours.    car went in around 11:00 and I was done around 2:30 He did the initial runs, install the BC and then Nistune install and tune.  The best part was sitting in the lobby and hearing the skyline on full throttle at the dyno 😂😂

      Glad it all went smooth. How long did the tuning process take?

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      Yeah that was kind of the same feedback my tuner gave me.  the boost tee is until I can sort out my plan for the electronic boost controller and what I’d get, where I’d mount the dash etc.  I’m happy with this until I can figure it out. Not a big fan of the A-pillar gauges. I’d like to get a clean install of the boost gauge - something digital like GFB.  Something like that might fit neatly where the ashtray is and look clean. I feel like replacing the OEM triple gauge is a bit extreme for a weekender like my skyline. And it’s not making crazy power to need all the additional sensors/gauges.

      I'm about to swap my box to Tremec T56 Magnum F & initially thinking of re-using my DCS twin plate (can get it re centred for the bigger spline) but it's been called out the box will be noisy (rattle) as the clutch is unsprung.  So I'm doing as much research as possible. I'm not so worried about holding the power as I'll go the track version which on paper will hold the maybe 1000hp I make. It's the longevity I worry about. DCS told me they don't use a sprung centre as it's just something that can break. The uni clutch has a very complicated sprung centre. Any one had or heard about any issues with it failing? Thanks in advance.

      Auto is at least 10% (from my real, actual experience with different torque converters and manual on the same setup) ~185rwkw at 11.6psi (peak!) is entirely what one would expect without a FMIC or anything else on the intake, it does bleed off towards the higher RPM so it's what, 9psi there? Note: There is nothing that can be done about this with a manual boost tee. If you want to hold it steady and gain more top end, well - You will need electronic boost control.....
