UPDATE!!!!

Ok..... with the voting showing that Southside if the preference to, tonight's meet & cruise. This is what the plan will be -

Meet: Car Park along Miles Platting Road at Eight Mile Plains across from the Bus Station.

Time: 8PM.

Leave: Approximately 8:30PM.

Destionation: Yatala BP.

Those that do not know where exactly this is, I've posted a link to a Google Map Image below which may give you some understanding as to where exactly this car park is. The image however, is a bit old which does not show the carpark itself, but does show the dirt area where they are in construction of making the carpark.

Meet is at 8PM. Will be leaving sometime around 8:30PM.

I'll have the UHF on and will be on channel 16 if anyone is driving around the area and they get lost, they can call for help on the UHF.

Well, I think its been a while since we last had a skyline cruise / gathering (yes, last one being the Massive Skyline Cruise & before that, the one that was last organised at Toombul Shopping Centre).

Being a Thursday night and all with the majority of the cops being assholes lately to the cruising scene and all. I do not plan to partake in any well known cruising destionations that will have the cops there such as Aspley, Milton, etc etc.

So... we have 2 plans for a cruise to which we can vote on today.

Plan 1 - Northside.

Meet: Toombul Shopping Centre.

Time: 8PM.

Leave: Approximately 8:30PM.

Destionation: Yatala BP.

Plan 2 - Southside.

Meet: Car Park along Miles Platting Road at Eight Mile Plains across from the Bus Station.

Time: 8PM.

Leave: Approximately 8:30PM.

Destionation: Yatala BP.

Although this probably wont be a major cruise, it's atleast something we can do Thursday night instead of cruising with the bogans that are creating the attention from the police to come out in force these days.

Reason for choosing the Yatala destionation is because when I first started cruising some what, some years ago.... we use to actually leave from Springwood Macca's/Subway and cruise down to Yatala and then back up the Pacific Motorway onto the gateway, take the Mt Gavatt exit and then back onto the gateway and back to Springwood Macca's to which, I actually liked this route.

Of course, once we reach Yatala BP... we can then discuss on where to cruise afterwards.

Yeah southside is really good for me, even i will drive bout 45mins to get north to the southside if you know what i mean......but yeah i would be happy to bring my 32 out with others, not as flash as most peoples but i am workin on it.

I always wondered why every cruise ever organised in the S.E. had to include one of the BP site. Just curiouss, that's all.

Fuel, food, lots of well lit parking, easy access for low cars, easy to find, open 24hrs, (to my knowledge) not a huge cop magnet....... I am sure there are more.

A little more detail on the Soutside meeting spot may be a good idea????

Seeing as some of us Northsiders have NFI regaridng locations on the Southside...

Ok.....

Going south towards springwood, coming from Brisbane along Logan road. You'll see a major intersection coming up which has the really old heritage listed house on one corner and on the other side, the petrol station.

As your going south, take a left at those lights and you'll turn onto Miles Platting Road. Follow that road through and as you drive over the Pacific Motorway, you'll start to see a lite up area on both sides. The right side being the Eight Miles Planes bus station and on the left side is the car park.

Ok.... You'll see a carpark in that pic there which is pretty much almost full of cars.

Across the road (lookin towards the top of the pic), you'll see a big dirt area sourrounded by tree's.

This is where the car park that I'm talking about, is.

If anyone has any problems. I'll have the UHF turned on and will be on channel 16.

You drive on logan rd past autoforce import yard, turn left @ the next intersection with the caltex petrol station on your right hand side.

this is heding toward underwood on logan rd btw

Keep driving down miles plating rd going over the m1, just b4 the set of lights turn into the car park, as r33skyliner said its across the rd from the bus depot. your can jump straight back onto the gateway to head done the coast. Not a bad spot and no cops which is nice.

hope that helps people

John.. you might want to change your southside meet carpark. Those carparks (both sides!) are fully monitored as we found out when that location was used as a meeting spot for the Boostcruising Charity Cruise. You need permission from the BCC busway to use the carparks for meeting spots. He tried to kick us out but we sweet talked him with presents and stuff. They only let us stay because it was a charity cruise and we were expecting 70+ cars. We asked if we could go over the other side and the answer was still no as it's still part of council property.

So yes, I'd highly advise that you change your southside meeting spot as you WILL be kicked out as soon as you are spotted on the security cameras.

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
