SATURDAY APRIL 16th - Hobart College Carpark

Ok guys and girls, went to for a run down to Port Arthur today, now took me bout 2 hrs to get down so thatw as good... thinks i need to say is, that i got caught at Dunalley on the turntable bridge waiting for it open n close for 30 mins... so we might be weary of that... however there is a space for 20-30 cars along the canal where we can stop off... so that sorts that out...

so far we have meet at 1030am at hobart college carpark, leaving once we are satisifed we have enough cars... so roughly 1100... heading to our first meet point and also lunch at woolies carpark sorell, for maccas. Then onto dunalley where we park on the side of the road for our next stop point...

there are a few good places we can stop at on the way down, eaglehawk neck is very limited i found out, so i have chosen the "tesalated pavements" carpark... (2nd turnoff (will provide map)) which i guess we will meet at whatever time we arrive... then leaving there at 1245pm to continue to port arthur...

plenty of spots along the way for photos to be obtained, and i will have trusty video camera as will a few of you's...

next stop is Port Arthur historic site (now keep in mind i want to keep this cruise publicly "ok" so i dont want much if any silly behaviour, now dont wanna get to strict and obviously being a small bugger i wont stop you if you do lol...

as i was saying bout keeping the public happy, te next stop is at the historic site, there are two overflow carparks for when it is busy...

now each of these will house 40 or so cars, and are not actually right in the centre of it all... so we can meet there whenever we arrive and wait for all the others to catch up

and have a chat of course

now, someone suggested we do the loop... well i took that way today and was very good roads, as was all the way down (cept for macquarie street) so im happy to go that way if everyone else would like to!, other than that, afetr meeting at PA we can all head our seperate ways home... unfortunatly could not find anywhere to have a game of bball, kick the footy, or have a bat... so maybe leave that for another day

so i best be off and gather all the papers and make up our maps...

once again expressions of interests and changes are welcome...

cheers guys!

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      By DraftySquash · Posted

      Hi everyone, Apologies in advance if this feels like a topic covered multiple times. I'm only asking because some of the old topics I found are missing images now. I'm in the process of getting a manual boost controller (BC). Nothing fancy, just getting a manual one for now as I don't plan to go crazy with it and would not go over 10 PSI. My car is not jacked up on boost steroids to do crazy numbers. I want to understand the OEM setup of the boost solenoid and vacuum lines on the R34 GTT so I know what needs to be changed when I do install the BC. I sketched the current setup to the best I could see and it's on the diagram attached. If the boost controller 'Wastegate Arrow' goes from nipple 1 to 2. My understanding is that the red vacuum line's "F" connector-end should be connected to BC nipple #2? Nipple #1 is meant to have the "pressure source" so what vacuum line would that be? Is it the green vacuum line?  From what I have read here, the OEM boost solenoid is not used at this point. So that can come out and then I can just plug the nipple that usually connects to the blue vacuum line?  So would the final setup look something like this?   Thanks in advance. I don't want to already be knee-deep into pulling out vacuum lines before understanding this. I'm a noob when it comes to boost setups so trying to learn as I go.

      Brake pad Compound suggestion

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Initial/early bite is a feature of.....generic pads. Things that work cold. Just put Bendix Ultimate in it. If you don't like them, it's only $3.50 wasted and an hour to change them. I've been using Intima SR, and they seem to be a good performance pad. Street friendly and able to take at least a little beating.

      Brake pad Compound suggestion

      By Vee37 · Posted

      As I implied in my post, I have NO idea what the were. But in case I didn't make it clear, the way they performed was brilliant; whatever the brand was. I think it was the compound that made the difference. And if they were Bendix, then sign me up, I want another set. I did drive down mount Ousley (just outside of the Gong) a few times, and they showed no untowards performance.   Its not the low dust that I am looking for NOW. At the time I needed low dust, but now I have no issues with dust but want the initial/early bite of the pads that were used. Yeah, the early cold squeal may of been due to a missing shim or such.  And to repeat, its not the low dust I am seeking, its the initial bite of the pads and increase in bite as  the warmed up during each breaking. As soon as I let off, I don't remember the breaks being extra sticky if I used them again soon after. But I also did not test that theory.   Thanks for the recommendation, But I would prefer to choose something specifically with the behaviour I described.   I assume that they didn't use the default compound off the shelf, as we discussed the dust issue at length. And the early squeal when cold, I have seen the sound is more of an issue with some pad compounds. Mostly ceramic, which also are said to produce less dust.

      🚨 Need Advice! Overcharged for Engineering Report 🚨

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Well, in 2007 he must have been charging about $1800 an hour. He only looked at the car for 5 minutes. And another 4 to write the report wrong, and another minute to correct it. Mind you, this was for a car that was: Stock engine, fmic (hole in drivers guard), all alloy intake and custom air box, 3 inch turbo back exhaust, lowered, and a set of 17" Advans (255/40/17 rear and 235/45/17 front). It was nothing crazy. The blue slipper wanted the "hole in the guard" engineered. But that was because he got the shits that I wouldn't "relocate the battery from the boot, back to the factory position in the engine bay"... In an R33 GTST...     Also for emissions, E85, and don't go wild on timing. It's amazing how the closer you get ignition timing towards max torque, the last couple of degrees really throw NOx counts right up. And for the huge increase in emissions, it's only a small increase in torque.
