I just don't see what the issue is; if there is a problem with me and my mates using this forum to organize our own meets, then yes there is an issue. But, no one else has complained...

Does it really matter if the numbers always consist of our own friends? I'm not here for a popularity contest, are you?

Just let me know if it's incorrect to use the forum like this, and I'll stop posting any details to any of our future meets. Cool?

You dont get it do you, open your eyes, and youll see, you guys are known as the "geeks" of the forum, all you do at meets is stick around with eachother, cruise together, and noone new or else can join, have never seen you guys run against other cars? ive only been a member for a couple months, met some good ppl, dont have any complaints, move forward in the forum, not backwards like you guys do. Look how many awesome lines are out there, and not part of the forum, why do you think that is?

thats bullshit... if we go on a cruise that involves other members we dont stick in a small group and ignore everyone else. and dont run against other cars? These cruises are on public roads, so no, we dont run against other cars then. most of the people im friends with on this forum go to WSID or the SAU drag days and run theire. and there is a group of people on this forum that are friends outside SAU, I have been friends with some before I knew about SAU...so ofcourse we are going to hang out with eachother, we would feel a little more comfortable together as we know eachother better than other people we have jsut met.. doesnt mean we dont talk to other ppl when we meet up with them.. there has been SAU members from other states that we have had come hang out with us as well when they are here. so I honestly dont know what the f**k you are on about, and I dont think you know either

QLD loves you noble elf like people :lol:

Thats why ILL BE BACK ;) (mr t was the closest smiley i could find to Arnold)

If you want me to organise a cruise, youll be expectng 300hp plus cars, having fun and doing what we do.

300hp seems kind of low <_< ;)

I agree 300hp seems low, but if thats the case a large number of you guys are all under?

And on that note I'd like to add that any group of people found to be using the forums to organise illegal activities will be promptly banned. The reason the "postwhore crew" is allowed to organise their cruises is due to them not attracting the wrong attention at their events... this includes "run[ing] against other cars" on the street.

Owning a Skyline dosen't give you the right to be a wanker on the street. I didn't know any of the guys in this group of cruisers (hell I'm from Melbourne, so I'm a total stranger) but I've met up with them a few times and cruised with them, and they're totally friendly and approachable. Granted I didn't rock up and say "omg I have a 300hp beast and I'll run you, and you, and you!".

just out of curiosity....how do you move BACKWARD in a forum??? I'm a little lost at that description.

I wouldn't say no one else can join, I went on a cruise for the first time the other day out of the blues and they sure didn't kick me out......in fact, I found the bunch really fun to talk to.....so definitely a positive feedback from me

    • Sorry, just assumed that talk of coloured pads meant EBC red/green/yellow/shit stuff. I don't know the DBA pads, but it's a reasonable bet that they will be OK. DBA make good stuff generally. Those 4000 series rotors I linked to are very good. I may well replace the RDA rotors I have with those when required.
    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
