Ok seeing as Craig is ready now and has no excuses I think its time to get the ball rolling for another Stagea meet/cruise.

Going back to Oct 2011 we had the "15th Anniversary Cruise" and we had 22 Stagea's turn up so I think we should be able to hit the 30/40's by now!!!

First we can start with dates:

August Saturday 24th or Sunday 25th

August Saturday 31st or Sunday Sep 1st

September Saturday 14th or Sunday 15th

September Saturday 21st or Sunday 22nd

( I missed out the weekend of the 7th/8th of Sep cos I'm on call) :P

then we can discuss locations and cruise routes:

1) Royal National park down to the Gong.

2) Mac Pass to Robertson.

3) Bells line of Rd to Lithgow etc

4) Jenolan Caves Rd to Oberon

5) Putty Rd to Singleton

6) Old Pac Rd to Gosford

7) Old Northern Rd to Wisemans Ferry

8) or put a suggestion forward............

so lets do this lets get another awesome meet up happening!!!!!!!

1st would be good for me at this stage. Prob with south is the Newcastle guys will have a long trip so you can't win either way for that argument haha. West would be my recommendation. Then south and north meet in the middle. Also probably less traffic which would be very nice.

Just my two cents :)

its 220km from the M4 twin servo's at Eastern Creek to Mt Panorama (Bathurst) with a 3hr 20min drive Via Jenolan Caves & Oberon (where we could stop at Oberon RSL for lunch)

and then on the way back go down the Great Western to Lithgow and then hit up the Bells Line of Rd back to Richmond, which would make it a total of 367km and 5.5hrs.

Not sure what dates are best for me, so I'll leave that up to you guys to decide, but I would love a cruise up the Old Pac, then dinner at Trackside in Gosford.

This is a great idea.

Not the Weekend of the 14th please, this is WRC@Coffs weekend. http://www.rallyaustralia.com.au/

I'd be keen on this too!

All the dates are a little tricky for me ATM, but I'll be able to make a call a bit closer to the time.

    • As you're looking at using a Link ECU, then large injectors are not a problem. But there's not really any need to go 1000s on an RB20 unless you're planning >>600HP on E85, which would seem unlikely. There are other options for injectors. The Xspurt ones are available from a number of places and you can get them in the mid 600s and 725cc, which is probably a sensible place to be. These are all EV14 based. If you are not using the stock AFM (at all, which would be the case with a Link) then a large turbo intake pipe to suit the ATR turbos is not an obstacle, so you should use one instead of a highflow. Results will be better.
    • Hey guys,  I'm after some advice and this here is the best place to get it imo. I was a member a looong time ago under another account, with a lost email address. Its nice to jump back on and see some of the same names still giving good advice.  I mothballed my car when i moved to perth in 2013, and after getting towed across the nullabor a few times it has officially done more km's on a trailer than under its own power. Now that i have started the process of tidying up and modifying it, i see the fruit available (and the fruiterers selling the produce) is different than back in the day. hence my questions, as i used to 'know' what to get and now, i'm not so sure. Engine wise the car (92 gtst) has a walbro 255, k+n, fmic, cam gears and and turbo back 3"exhaust. Wish list is a Hypergear high flow or ATR43G1, Link G4x and some newer injectors before a tune up. My goals are modest, only low 200's power wise. i know i could achieve this with less, but i've been swapping out old for new where i can. Every cooling hose has been replaced, along with mani gaskets, WP, thermostat and radiator, fuel pump and timing belt, tensioner and idler, and i rebuilt the steering rack. Regarding the injectors, the fruiterers all seem to sell what used to be considered quite large injectors. There are a lot of options for bosch 1000cc EV14's, and i would like to know if that is a suitable choice for my build. Is modern injector design good enough to run these at the low duty cycles that i likely would be? is there a downside to running a too large injector these days? or, would there be an upside to running a smaller injector at higher duty cycle? I can see that there are smaller injectors still available, but the ones i have seen specifically marketed for RB's are pretty large (see: https://golebysparts.au/collections/fuel-rail-injector-kits/products/nissan-rb20-fuel-rail-bosch-980cc-1150cc-injectors-turbosmart-fpr800-regulator-kit), and i dont know enough about them to say one not marketed for RB's would fit or not. I have searched the forums, and amongst all the posts on older tech, I did see gtsboy recommend EV14's, but no size was mentioned... again, i'm not clear on if the smaller size bosch injectors are also EV14's as they do look similar.  also, if someone can recommend a tuner familiar with RB's in the Geelong or West Melbourne area i'd appreciate it. Thanks in advance guys. Cheers, Rowdy  
    • FWIW the depth of the groove in the rubber pad is not super essential, the blocks are rubber and squish a bit. If you are worried an angle grinder will make a deeper groove quick smart
    • I mean, if you were to move the jacking points away from the original location, that is, away from the wheels and closer to the centreline of the car, then it will be more likely to overbalance and tip off the supports. Same as we talked about before. I was talking about moving for-aft. If the sill is bent outward or inward, then the car would obviously look unstraight from the outside. Hopefully that hasn't happened either. Again, you can do comparative measurements from the chassis rails to see if there is much deflection.
    • Can you elaborate what you mean with your first sentence? I meant move as in the bulge kinda seemed like it got pulled "outward" meaning it got pulled down and to the side with the jacking rail itself, so the load bearing bulge now sits lower than usual and is not level with the sill on the other side of the jack point. Either that or the jacking rail just got pushed in a good bit.
