Nah Ken you'd have to talk to Troy about the Postwhore thingo, I just got in and was browsing the forums. I think the cruise would've been pretty hairy for the non-GTR ppl with all the rain and all ;)

yeh pity about the rain

Hi Guys....

Yeah we didnt get a map and after the start of the freeway when the leaders took of into the distance ..... we were lost :D .... After the tunnel everyone seemed to be following us!!!! Unfortunately we led everyone to nowhere....

Ohh well it was good for a first SAU cruise ( for me personally ) ...

So when is the next cruise ( in the dry of course ???? ) :confused:

Were we chasing a motorbike? I thought hooning off was standard freeway practice :)

There wasn't a whole lot of action this cruise, as was to be expected since it was pouring down for duration of the cruise. We are pleased to report however, that security at Carousel is indeed doing a valiant effort on protecting the public against the henious crime of double parking. Who knows how many inocent people could have been INJURED or KILLED by pva double parking behind other Skylines. Go security, Go! :D

RadiuM, impressed with the number of goodies paulgts-t got with his R33. be interesting to see how it goes once the 5000rpm missfire is fixed.

I propose another rule: We leave at exactly the time specified (no delays) and any late comers can meet up on route or at a regrouping point. I didn't mind waiting 15mins for the white R34 gtt to turn up, but I was a bit miffed that he didn't want to join the cruise. Ah well, can't blame him, seeing as the weather was what it was.

gradenko, yer tis a nice setup but it all needs to be finely tuned and all working together properly. its capable of a fair few HP.

his clutch has just started to slip all the time, as soon as it comes onto boost under load she slips, lucky for him he starts his new job this week.

    • Hi all, I need to get this HKS SLD attached to my stock ECU because I've now got the German autobahn and faster European circuits to contend with.  The car is a manual 2dr ER34 with an AT ECU and I've realised the AT ECU has two pins for speed sensor signals: Pin 29: Vehicle speed sensor signal (Vehicle speed sensor 2) Pin *58: Output shaft rotation sensor signal (Vehicle speed sensor 1) - *RB25DET A/T model only Before I go butchering this harness, is anyone sure of which pin is the correct one for signal adjustment? The attached document from HKS indicates pin 29 but I found this situation mentioned in the following thread on a different forum (R34 GTT Auto Trans Speed Cut Problem | Zerotohundred) mentioning pin 58 needing to be altered by member zephuros, albeit it seems to be for an RSM-GP and the info appears to be old.  R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-2.pdf R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-3.pdf R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-1.pdf HKS SLD Vehicle Pin out P59-P70 ER34-pages.pdf

    • Slimline sub on the rear parcel shelf is doable. Pioneer TS-WX140DA is only 70mm high.   
    • People like Johnny Dose Bro might be laughing at my post because I accidentally added 100mm to my numbers. 350-355 is indeed the lower limit. 450 is off-road Skyline spec.
    • What is the "compromise" that you think will happen? Are you thinking that something will get damaged? The only things you have to be concerned about with spherical jointed suspension arms are; Arguments with the constabulary wrt their legality (they are likely to be illegal for road use without an engineering certificatation, and that may not be possible to obtain). A lot more NVH transmitted through to the passengers (which is hardly a concern for those with a preference for good handling, anyway). Greatly increased inspection and maintenance requirements (see above points, both).   It is extremely necessary to ask what car you are talking about. Your discussion on strut tops, for example, would be completely wrong for an R chassis, but be correct for an S chassis. R32s have specific problems that R33/4 do not have. Etc. I have hardened rubber bushes on upper rear control arms and traction rods. Adjustable length so as to be able to set both camber and bump steer. You cannot contemplate doing just the control arms and not the traction arms. And whatever bushing you have in one you should have in the other so that they have similar characteristics. Otherwise you can get increased oddness of behaviour as one bushing flexes and the other doesn't, changing the alignment between them. I have stock lower rear arms with urethane bushes. I may make changes here, these are are driven by the R32's geometry problems, so I won't discuss them here unless it proves necessary. I have spherical joints in the front caster rods. I have experienced absolutely no negatives and only positives from doing so. They are massively better than any other option. I have sphericals in the FUCAs, but this is driven largely by the (again) R32 specific problems with the motion of those arms. I just have to deal with the increased maintenance required. Given how much better the front end behaves with the sphericals in there.....I'd probably be tempted to go away from my preference (which is not to have sphericals on a road car, for 2 of the 3 reasons in the bulleted list above), just to gain those improvements. And so my preference for not using sphericals (in general) on a road car should be obvious. I use them judiciously, though, as required to solve particular problems.
