Lamington Park Rd? Do you mean somewhere around Canungra - up towards O'Reilly's or is there a different road in mind?

I've just come back from Springbrook today and that's a very twisty road, but too tight to really open it up. Mt Mee is much better in that regard IMO. Not sure about Lamington tho. Do you have a map link for it?

OK, so it looks like that was the road where I took my picture from & posted it in the other thread. Now I look like a dill for not knowing where that was :blush: .

Closer to home for me & somewhere different. Gets my vote. But Mt Mee was very good......

I'm open to any Sunday, Saturday my wife plays soccer. I just havent been on a cruise in a long time and as a member of sau I think that is a bit sad. Like minded people should be meeting up and talking garbage.

well it seems there's no interest in a cruise except us 3. there is 5 votes, but with a week till the prefered date its looking shakey. every1 musy be busy :down:

Yeah, looks like you, me, Steven & 2 unknown voters. If the votes for best date is anything to go by, there's only going to be 2 or 3 cars on the cruise :( .

To me, 3 cars a cruise doesn't make, lol. See what happens in the next few days, but it's looking more like a postponing to a later date is likely.

Is there any interest in making a weekend of it and driving to Sydney for the 15 year anniversary event on October long weekend instead?

A few weeks ago there was lots of interest, what happened? Looks like the wife and I will just go for a cruise alone then. Il definately be interested when something gets organized, I'm just not good at planning routes.

Il be in sydney for toyotafest on the 2nd of October lol, not sure if im driving or flying yet though. I'd prefer to drive the stag down but the fuel cost might be out weighed by the cheap flights.

I usually find the tipping point is about 3 people, certainly 4. With only 2 it's almost always cheaper to fly. But, if you take the Stag you could do the cruise.....:thumbsup:

Yeah, what did happen with all the previous enthusiasm? I agree with Ray. Try for later & also leave it up to someone who knows how to rally the troops (Darrin?).

i would consider the cruise but toyotafest is on the same day :/ at the moment with my 3000rpm redline im getting about 15l/100km on the highway so probably $450/$500 in fuel down and back pending fuel isnt over $1.70 a litre in sydney, flights are roughly $600 plus accomodation plus rental car so driving it is :D.

il be watching this space waiting for the next cruise.

What kind of power are you putting down now?

I'm still stuck on a run in tune, getting 250 awkw running 12 pounds. Will try and make it out Saturday (if Im not too hungover from a party Im going to Friday).

Shit. I'm only after 250kw and that's your run in tune. How does it go??

Not enough power for me just yet, before I did the rebuild it was pushing 280, my original goals where somewhere closer to 350 and I might get close time will tell. Though reading up on these BW EFR turbos I am starting to think a set of 6258 twin high mounts would be even better with potential for 450+.

The twin plate and nismo diffs are taking some getting used to, its grippy as all hell and loads of fun to drive up in the hills. It doesn't feel like the boosted barge anymore in the handling dept, I also did some suspension work getting the Tein Superflex wagon and some other bits and pieces through Fulcrum.

The Kakimoto full mega N1 exhaust sounds awesome and the cams are lumpy.... looking forward to getting the full tune and taking it out to Lakeside. I think there's something on at the end of August... will definitely be hitting that up, I got a Nitto oil pump and high octane sump extension too so I could safely track the car.

Sadly my budget isn't as big as yours, I'm just hoping that 250 is enough to keep my happy for a few years, I was pretty happy with the stock power considering how my stagea handles but I guess when I get some suspension work I might aim a bit higher, I would love to see your car on the track some time.

Yeah I might have to put those other plans on hold for a little while, I'm broke now and have about 6 weeks left in my current contract. I also found out the other week I'm going to be a dad too so I need to inject some funds into the girl dept and put a ring on her finger. Thankfully the market is really good at the moment in IT so I shouldn't have any problems getting another job at the end of next month.

Not as much as wanted

348rwhp or 258rwkw at 17psi

tried 19psi only made 2 hp more. Have restriction somewhere to sort out. They think exh manifold.

300rwkw will be its max

It is only 20hp more than before on 16psi, but they found a huge 45-50hp right thru the mid range where you needed it

Pulls alot better now and will light up all 4 tyres on launch. :D

The 1/4 mile will be the real test to see the difference from last time

Hmmm could be interesting when I finish mine then, be good to compare the 26 with 250kw to my 25 with 250kw

Are you on the road dude? I'm going out this evening, meeting a mate inner city with a GTR.. going to be heading out of the city after that. PM if interested and I'll pass on time and place.

I should be off the run in tune in a little over a week should I get the k's in over the weekend.

    • I totally couldn't do the whole kids taking up my life thing! 😮 I find it bad enough doing 45 hours in 4 days, and then fitting normal adulting life into the other 3 with no kids! As for my mates race cars, they're AMG C63 setup for production racing. The original is what has just been stripped and a brand new shell built. The original is then going away to have some panels straightened, then it will be put back together again. Then there's a third that will shortly head off to have a roll cage put in, then build it up too. And potentially a fourth to be built too... Oh, and he has two Renault Clio D class production cars, ha ha. And when he's not racing them in the Australians and QLD production championships, he's been racing one of Chaz Mostert's Lamborghini's in GT4. They just won GT4 at the 12 hour in the Lambo. We're pushing to finish the new AMG as it has its first round (and potentially its first shakedown/outing) in under w weeks for Round one of QPC, and that round is really the shakedown to make sure it's all good for the Bathurst 6 hour, which I'll be at too. Ha ha ha Working on my project is different to his, I slowly tinker and work ways to make things happen on a shoe string budget. Hes in a good position that he has a massive workshop full of parts and tools, ha ha. He also looks after me. When his air compressor died, he just needed it working, so bought himself a new one and gave the old to me. Sand blaster unit too, and a 20t pressing. And pretty much all the shelving in my shed too as he upgraded all of his (the stuff he gave me is the expensive black Bunnings heavy duty stuff)!   I enjoy working on his stuff. No decision paralysis, and anything that's needed parts wise is just there. Plus, then I get to be hands on at the track in real racing, not just club day stuff.
    • I know which one I'd prefer to have in my garage, and which one I'd actually drive as intended
    • Yeah mate, no probs. Just swap the email addresses?
    • I definitely agree with you there - I never click on content for cars I would never ever be able to get or compete with/against/be seen next to. Seeing a MX5 compete with a FD RX7 will make people upset though, for sure. Even in 2.5L Turbo form which is pretty grass roots. (or at least as grass roots as classic cars can be) Yes we're all classic car owners now.
    • Wonder what the cause is, but here's hoping it's nothing too serious.
