this cruise is goin no where .. ;) Does the person organising it know the route to take and every1 else likewise ?

I would come if its on a saturday night. . Somone do something with this thread already :D

Hey guys .... Yer me and my gf will come again ... :) its only down the road hehe

So are u guys meetin up at thornleigh again and heading out here ... I might just wait for u guys to get here or i might get lonely and meet up wif some of u towards the city ..

Ill start PM'n ppl now :) if u guys dont know a route to take lemme know and ill just go down Bells Line soon and have a look where we can head to , or if u already know wat we doin can someone tell me wats the g0 :D i wanna FOOD stop and we gotta have Group hugs n shit :P

Nath OUT!

P.S oh yer and DAMN my gearbox bearings are nasty .. Sposed to be fixed this weekend but not tonight :(

******UPDATE********

Seeing as the owner of this thread has disappeared I'm gonna make the plans coz I'm so keen for a cruise tonight.

I think we should cut the wisemens loop out of it as I don't think we have a big turn out, so we want to pick up the Windsor people ASAP...if anyone fees like it we can do it on the way back.

here are the details

So we are still meeting at 10PM at THORNLEIGH MACCAS for a 10:30 DEPARTURE

We will have another meeting point at MCGRATHS HILL MACCAS at 11:15 which is near Winford Motors on Windsor Rd.

The on to Katoomba! Bizza will lead the way, but no doubt I'll have to take over coz he's too slow ...RB20...pfft!

If anyone has any questions please feel free to give me a call on my mobile which is 0423 793 747.

sif over take me :Pwe shall see about that .

hope we actually see some of u woosys tonight

just past bilpin is a stretch of road that takes the Sky to the liner but i dont think its a good idea to go tonight as we might dirty our cars :) check it out

Oh the corners ! :kick:

I take it you guys are turning off 'Bells Line Of Rd' at 'Darling Caus Rd' which then joins up at Mt Victoria (...and head back to Sydney thru Katoomba via the Great Western Highway) ?

Thornleigh -> Richmond = 41km

Richmond -> Mt Victoria = 72km

Mt Victoria -> Penrith = 65km

That's a solid 3+ hr cruise from/to Thornleigh just so you know. Don't expect to be back to Thornleigh until atleast 3am.

ya thats the route we shall be taking .. its a great drive but :) ... Think about me and the Newport cruise i had to go heaps far. Spend more time driving to get to meetups n stuff then we did actually cruising :)

So wat else is there to do besides that :D .. Unless changing meetup time , i dont think things will change soon ..

just working with what we've been given by the original organiser.

no point in having a 20mins cruise I say!

the sleep was pretty shite actually.  Did u run into the group of cars that were in front of us from winsor?  Hey liz, those cars were at thornleigh, i think they might have been with the guy who made the post.

yeah we ran into them at windsor and again at blackheath. But they didn't stop with us. Besides when we were at thornleigh they left without us and without saying anything to us.

but yeah the cruise was a good run....I was so freakin tired by the time we got back.

Was a good run. With some better front suspension and new tyres it'd be a great drive.

I have nfi what it was that I hit (it has no idea what it was hit by either, I smacked it) but their is zero damage so that's the main thing.

    • That's odd, it works fine here. Try loading it on a different device or browser? It's Jack Phillips JDM, a Skyline wrecker in Victoria. Not the cheapest, but I have found them helpful to find obscure parts in AU. https://jpjdm.com/shop/index.php
    • Yeah. I second all of the above. The only way to see that sort of voltage is if something is generating it as a side effect of being f**ked up. The other thing you could do would be to put a load onto that 30V terminal, something like a brakelamp globe. See if it pulls the voltage away comepletely or if some or all of it stays there while loaded. Will give you something of an idea about how much danger it could cause.
    • I would say, you've got one hell of an underlying issue there. You're saying, coils were fully unplugged, and the fuse to that circuit was unplugged, and you measured 30v? Either something is giving you some WILD EMI, and that's an induced voltage, OR something is managing to backfeed, AND that something has problems. It could be something like the ECU if it takes power from there, and also gets power from another source IF there's an internal issue in the ECU. The way to check would be pull that fuse, unplug the coils, and then probe the ECU pins. However it could be something else doing it. Additionally, if it is something wired in, and that something is pulsing, IE a PWM circuit and it's an inductive load and doesnt have proper flyback protection, that would also do it. A possibility would be if you have something like a PWM fuel pump, it might be giving flyback voltages (dangerous to stuff!). I'd put the circuit back into its "broken" state, confirm the weird voltage is back, and then one by one unplug devices until that voltage disappears. That's a quick way to find an associated device. Otherwise I'd need to look at the wiring diagrams, and then understand any electrical mods done.   But you really should not be seeing the above issue, and really, it's indicating something is failing, and possibly why the fuse blew to begin with.
    • A lot of what you said there are fair observations and part of why I made that list, to make some of these things (like no advantage between the GSeries and GSeries II at PR2.4 in a lot of cases) however I'm not fully convinced by other comments.  One thing to bare in mind is that compressor flow maps are talking about MASS flow, in terms of the compressor side you shouldn't end up running more or less airflow vs another compressor map for the same advertised flow if all external environmental conditions are equivalent if the compressor efficiency is lower as that advertised mass flow takes that into consideration.   Once the intercooler becomes involved the in-plenum air temperature shouldn't be that different, either... the main thing that is likely to affect the end power is the final exhaust manifold pressure - which *WILL* go up when you run out of compressor efficiency when you run off the map earlier on the original G-Series versus G-Series II as you need to keep the gate shut to achieve similar airflow.    Also, how do you figure response based off surge line?  I've seen people claim that as an absolute fact before but am pretty sure I've seen compressors with worse surge lines actually "stand up" faster (and ironically be more likely to surge), I'm not super convinced - it's really a thing we won't easily be able to determine until people start using them.     There are some things on the maps that actually make me wonder if there is a chance that they may respond no worse... if not BETTER?!  which brings me to your next point... Why G2 have lower max rpm?  Really good question and I've been wondering about this too.  The maximum speed *AND* the compressor maps both look like what I'd normally expect if Garrett had extended the exducers out, but they claim the same inducer and exducer size for the whole range.   If you compare the speed lines between any G and G2 version the G2 speed lines support higher flow for the same compressor speed, kinda giving a pretty clear "better at pumping more air for the same speed" impression. Presumably the exducer includes any extended tip design instead of just the backplate, but nonetheless I'd love to see good pics/measurements of the G2 compressors as everything kinda points to something different about the exducer - specifically that it must be further out from the centerline, which means a lower rpm for the same max tip speed and often also results in higher pressure ratio efficiency, narrower maps, and often actually can result in better spool vs a smaller exducer for the same inducer size... no doubt partly due to the above phenomenon of needing less turbine speed to achieve the same airflow when using a smaller trim. Not sure if this is just camera angle or what, but this kinda looks interesting on the G35 990 compressor tips: Very interested to see what happens when people start testing these, and if we start getting more details about what's different.
