James, Ash and Andrew hope you planned a couple of rest stops along the way, as shivam and myself went for a test run yesterday and he experienced major brake fade just after the down hill sections.  Jumped out of the car to see the front calipers SMOKING ;).

Remember we are on a cruise... not a race-track. So we wont be doing heaps of high speed braking like i bet you guys were doing ;)

I didnt get any fade on our drive... and i've got undersized disks and worn pads on my car.

We wont be going fast enough to possibly have anyone with brake fade.

Unless thier car's brakes are shot, then that's the owners problem.

we already have a resident R31 to poke poke fun at. Actually, its moreso the driver that we poke fun at than the car.

I believe Ash's R31 coupe

Hmm... I'm taking this as yet another punt at me :P

And yeah, the take the usual p(ss outta me... but not the car as everyone knows it's a rocket :D

Dunno if my car will be coming yet, dropped it off at centreline this morning so we'll see how it goes.

Either way i'll be there somehow!

Funky - its not 270 x 2. The cruise is kinda one big circle. So the whole cruise (well from Major Petrol station to Major petrol station) is 270 and they both just out of the CBD. We don't do any doubling back the way we came from on this cruise.

For those wanting to pre-meet out the front of Evolution R meet there at say 8:45am. This will be only a short quick meet-up and then we'll cruise to megamart.

sounds good! i will be meeting at the megamart... keep an eye out for a green soarer that looks like a moo cow thanks to that fantastic fibreglass patching up of the front hehe.

    • You have the option to do this. Nobody but me ever did this (go slower, I mean) Everyone seems to fall victim to "This would be a great setup for you, but for me, I need a little more power..."
    • Save yourself the headache of an alarm. Immobilizer on the signal side of the main EFI relays so it won't start is good enough. DIY killswitch is the same thing except instead of a nice passive system you need to remember to switch it on and off.
    • Yeah, the advent of canbus was supposed to cut down on wiring weight, then some bright marketing wonk says "oh, look at all these wonderful tech gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some arsehole safety legislator says "oh, look at all the wonderful surveillance and tracking gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some dipshit young engineer who has grown up thinking that an extra 500000 lines of code is not a problem because storage is cheap these days says "oh look at all this wonderful shit I can do to one up those dipshit arsholes over at VW" and the Karens of the world all go "oh look at all these fancy things I can do on my screen (so long as I am not driving on a bumpy road wherein touch screens immediately become the single most stupid shit idea ever shoveled into a car) and my 19 zone airconditioning keeps my sweaty fat folds a bit less damp and the windows close themselves because I'm too fat and lazy to wind them up for myself and these reversing sensors would have been great if I'd paid attention to them instead of smashing them on the bollard while I was reversing and staring fixedly forward that day I went to pick up little Charlize from ballet" and the sweaty mongoloids who say "oh this wonderful collision avoidance technology with these 45 excellent radar antennae scattered across the front of my car mean I can tailgate like a methed up tradie at full speed with no fear because the car and the 35 airbags will protect me if it all goes wrong" ...... </shallistopranting?>
    • There's a post from a member (can't recall who), went down the path of a twin scroll G30-660 and it's doing over 300kW+ AND comes on about the same as a high flow RB25DET turbo. Have your cake and eat it too in this case. TBH, if I had a 2nd chance of building my car again (i.e. someone gave me what I wanted for my shit box, but the deal was I had to re-build another R33 and keep the change) I would just pop in a stock NEO motor (with new seals, rod bearings, ARP studs, head gasket, sump, Nitto pump), get a smaller twin scroll turbo, modify the stock low mount (keep the divider in place), and make a solid 300kW on 98RON and call it a day.
