Eoi Cruise In Memory Of Brian O'connor (Paul Walker)


Recommended Posts

Just interested to see if anyone is keen to do a cruise in memory of Paul Walker.

As he was a car enthusiast and his pick of cars was the nissan GTR family

I feel it would be a good thing to do.

I dont have dates or times as it is EOI. Any idears, tips or help would be great

I did try to post this up on sunday but it didnt make it on to the web site and have

since noticed a club caled downshift australia have also organised a charity cruse

for Paul Walker and are expecting 700+ cars to attend. Maybe we can combind

both parties together. What is everyones thoughts

The DS cruise is donating to the charity that Paul was working for when he was killed. It's his charity I believe, reach out world wide.

I would love to do a cruise in my skyline for him but I'm in NSW and can't make the DS one

yeh im not sure how they do a charity for his death. What i think is Paul Walker was doing a charity car cuise when the crash happend for the natural disaster in the philippines. The organization was caled REACH OUT WORLD WIDE so from what i understand is this downshift club is doing this charity in memory for Paul Walker and to fundraise for ROWW

I was toying with the idea of going to the DS cruise. I've heard they get some police attention at their meets as well which may not be the best.

an issue thats aparently been fixed. im going for sure this will be on par with Jaf's in adelaide which sees 1000 plus caras yearly

LOL how to you stop police from pulling over cars on a public road? especially when there meets are known for high amounts of illegally poorly modified cars and had a crack at the police in brisbane times...

Be like saying Im opening up a herion station in a park... but its for charity so the police presence has been fixed.

Letters have been going back and forth between DS, Campbell Newman & QPS. I believe I read that even Newman criticised the actions of the QPS on the meet a few months back with the mass defect station

Public safety is the priority for the police.

Downshift are a business and make money by allowing blatantly defectable cars into their meets (no internal efforts to clean up their own image).

End of the day it takes a ten minute google search to find people consistently complaining about burnouts each month, google images shows the types of vehicles that go, there was a car written off at one meet and downshift put up images on their facebook of cars doing burnouts and saying f**k you to the new laws....

Wouldnt be hard for QPS to put forward a legitimate case for their actions.

    • You're not wrong, but more than a few times I've heard of people running into issues where their injector characterization isn't quite right and that approach works for that specific configuration but once they switch over to a new set they discover a whole bunch of stuff wasn't set up correctly. It's slightly more annoying to reverse engineer the OEM MAF transfer function but you already have the sensor wired up to the factory harness so keeping it around for a few weeks more while you figure out the tune is easy enough. I've seen GM also use a combination of both MAF + MAP in their ECUs before, MAF is for steady state and a calculation of the cylinder VE to correct the base VE table, then in transients it uses that calculated VE + raw MAP to determine cylinder filling somehow.
    • I know this one’s the BB one. My tuner did make mention about the actuator. I am curious about the VCT as well
    • Might also needs a stronger actuator with the right preloading. With older 2019 built bush G3 units, BB upgrade or 21U housing down size makes a pretty decent gain in response as well. 
    • Hey lads  so im finally putting together my rb30 forged bottom end and ran into an issue. I measured my main bearing clearance with arp main studs torqued to 60 ft-lbs using ACL H series STD size bearings and standard, un-ground crank shaft journals and got an oil clearance reading of about 1.3 thou measuring straight up and down and about 2.8 thou measuring at a 45 degree angle (just above and below the parting line). My machine shop said they measured the main tunnel and it was all within spec (they didnt say the actual measurement) and to go with a standard size bearing, which i have done and the clearance is too tight, I'm guessing because of the extra clamping force from the arp studs distorting the main tunnel. I was wanting to run about 2.5 thou main bearing clearance.  My questions are: 1. could i just use the HX extra 1 thou clearance ACL bearings? that would fix my straight up and down clearance making it about 2.3 thou, but then would the side to side clearance be too big at around 3.8 thou? 2. what actually is the recommended main bearing clearance for measuring near the parting line / side to side. i know its supposed to be bigger as the bearing has some eccentricity built into it but how much more clearance should there be compared to the straight up and down measurement? at the moment there is about 1.5thou difference, is that acceptable or should it be less? 3. If i took the engine block + girdle back to the machine shop and got them to line bore the main tunnel (like i told them to do the first time, but they said it didnt need it) what bearing size would i buy? the STD size bearing shells already slide in fairly easily with no real resistance, some even falling out if i tip the girdle up-side-down. If im taking material out of the main tunnel would i need a bearing with extra material on the back side to make up for it? this is probably confusing af to read so if something doesn't make sense let me know and ill try explaining in a different way. My machine shop doesn't come back from christmas break until mid January, hence why i'm asking these questions here. TIA for any help or info 
    • I bought the model back in Japan in Feb. I realised I could never build it, looked around for people who could build it, turns out there's some very skilled people out there that will make copies of 1:1 cars or near enough. I'm not really a photo guy... but people were dragging me in a group chat for the choice of bumper as someone else saw the car before it was finished as they are also a customer of that shop. I took the photo in the above post because I was pretty confident that the lip would work wonders for it. Here's some more in-progress and almost-done pics. It gives a good enough idea as to what the rear looks like!   I have also booked in a track day at the end of January. Lets all hope that is nothing but pure fun and games. If it's not pure fun and games, well, I've already got half an engine spare in the cupboard
