lif we r meeting at the twin servos at wallsend, the freeway is about 2 mins from there, so going thru swansea would be a longer and more painful way, none-the-less i'm sure this'll be decided on the day

My thoughts that even that we're meeting @ Wallsend, I'd still vote to drive back through Charlestown - Belmont - Swansea - then onto the central coast hwy where there's big open winding roads :P More fun than just driving straight on the freeway from Wallsend to the CC Servo's & straight back :thumbdwn:

ok.. there was a cruise last month that did the same thing.. we went straight onto the link raod to freeway at wallsend then all went to first exit after the CALTEXS and went back onto the freeway heading north and going into the caltexs.. a bout 30 mins or so people at least..

This is going to be good lets get some more lines coming tell all your friends with ones!

Chris, we're all car enthusiasts, we love to drive, we love to corner, & we like to show off our pride & joy. So to drive on route B through Charly - Swansea - CC Hwy I think that'll be satisfying us greater. I'd think that most people who meet @ Wallsend will have minds like us, we're all into cars after all.

car back tomoz! will be there for shizzle! Black r33 gtst see you there! what time do we return?

Don't know but there will be BBQ and raffle of prizes at the venue so bring a small amount of cash, should be done around 3 - 4pm easy.

been registered for a couple of months but this is my first reply i will be on the cruise with a couple of friends with identical cars just different powerplants

RB25DET=me

RB20DET=mate

RB30ET=mate

Look forward to meeting everyone

um.. when i went to that autosalon piece of shit.. it took under 2 hours about half that on the way home cause i was pissed.. so im guessing around 150kms.. no idea though..

Um, yeah good idea on sticking together.. what you all think?? when we get to the servos on freeway.. all leave together and try to stick together..

    • Hi guys, has anyone either purchased or built themselves a rotisserie for their car before? I can only just justify the need for one hence why I should just make one but at the same time, if I make one I can kiss another 4 weeks of potentially productive car working time goodbye because I'm building a bloody rotisserie....  I mainly want it for the application of the body deadener.  Cleaning the old stuff off, priming and then colour over the deadener doesn't worry me, it's just the application using the Schutz Gun that I feel would achieve a significantly better finish painting it side on and keeping the Schutz Gun upright.  I don't think they would work well on the side let alone almost upside down for some areas.  If the product I use (Terosun, etc) could work through a HVLP ok then it might be ok to apply without the rotisserie.   I can get one of these style ones for about $1200 which is pretty good value-     I reckon if I made one it would cost around $500 but it's more the time that it would take is more of a killer than the cost.  They look to hold their value pretty well second hand so I could always sell it after using it and realistically only lose $200-$300 at worst.  Or keep it and buy another project when this one finally sees the light of day... Anyone selling one...? Cheers!  
    • While it is a very nice idea to put card style AFMs into the charge pipe (post intercooler, obviously), the position of the AFM and the recirc valve relative to each other starts to become something that you really have to consider. The situation: The stock AFM is located upstream the turbo, and the recirc valve return is located between the AFM and the turbo inlet, aimed at the turbo inlet, so that it flows away from and not through the AFM. Thus, once metered air is not metered again, neither flowing forwards, or backwards, when vented out of the charge pipe. When you put the AFM between the turbo outlet and the TB, there is a volume of pressurised charge pipe upstream of the AFM and there is a volume of pressurised pipe downstream of the AFM. When the recirc valve opens and vents the charge pipe, air is going to flow from both ends of the charge pipe towards the recirc valve. If the recirc valve is in the stock location, then the section between it and the TB doesn't really matter here - you're not going to try to put the AFM in that piece of pipe. But the AFM will likely be somewhere between the intercooler and the recirc valve, So the entire charge pipe volume from that position (upstream of the AFM, back through the intercooler, to the turbo outlet) is going to flow through the AFM, get registered as combustion air, cause the ECU to fuel for it, but get dumped out of the recirc valve and you will end up with a typical BOV related rich spike. So ideally you want to put the AFM as close to the TB as possible (so, just upstream of the crossover pipe, assuming that the stock crossover is still in use, or, just before the TB if an FFP is being used) and locate the recirc valve at the turbo outlet. Recirc valve at the turbo outlet is the new normal for things like EFRs anyway. In the even of a recirc valve opening dumping all the air in the charge pipe, pretty much all of it is going to go backwards, from the TB to the recirc valve near the turbo outlet. But only a small portion of it (that between the TB and the AFM) will pass through the AFM, and it will pass through going backwards. The card style AFMs are somewhat more immune to reading flow that passes through them in reverse than older AFMs are, so you should absolutely minimise the rich pulse behaviour associated with the unavoidable outcome of having both a recirc valve and an AFM in the charge pipe.
    • Yep, in my case as soon as I started hearing weird noises I backed off the tension until it sounded normal again. Delicate balance between enough tension to avoid that cold start slip and too much damaging things.
    • I'm almost at a point where I feel like changing the alternator. Need to check the stuff you mentioned first though.
