Three cheers for Tosh !!!

Was a great time guys, glad to see there were no casualties (considering the truck incident) ....

Good to see some old faces I knew and new faces I didn't. Thanks to all who made it a great event and especially to the lovely ladies who donated their leftovers to the "Food for Jim" campain :) You know who you are :)

Sorry to Tony and the guys we lost on the way back home, seems radio communication was down when the little trip past the servo happened at Tuggerah.

Looking forward to the next gathering :)

Helllooo all!!!

I had a great day today!!! It was good to finally put some faces to names :)

I'm in on the three cheer to Tosh! apart from the route (the extra drive was still fun ;) ) everything was really well organised...I'm already looking forward to the next event!!

And where is that video!!! I know my butt featured alot :D

Yup was a pretty cool cruise.

I left home at 7:10am and didnt get home till about 6:30pm and in that time covered 536km (new record on a full tank of fuel - previous was 512km to Canberra n back). The funny thing is if i drove the exact same roads again and stuck to the speed limt i coulda easily got 590-600km.

The stretch of road from Thornleigh to Woy-Woy was wicked. Full tank of fuel, 4 bodies in the car and on 7psi i was still hauling ass up the Pacific Hwy and braking was good (no fading). I think that is the hardest I have driven my car over a short period of time and it felt absolutely no different from when we left thornleigh to when we arrived at Woy-Woy.

I brought some different travelling friends today (last time I do that) and they were getting mega bored whilst trying to find the Amanda's turn-off and seeing as though we weren't eating there we decided to stop off and grab some tucka before heading home.

Great Cruise Tosh well done.

I think I had the latest arrival back....got home about 8.30 :D Had to stop a few wineries and the cheese factory after lunch, then back down Putty Rd with a couple of other stayers!

Great turn out, well done RONIN.

Thanks guys ;)

hope to do it again soon :)

The video footage is good :)

Mona: Amanda told me that the turn off from the New England Highway was called Branxton Road. :D Not my fault she was wrong and gave us incorrect directions :)

With a butt that size, it's a bit hard to film without having half the frame taken up by your buttcheeks eek.gif

Hey guys, it was good to meet all of you, sorry I didn't put too many names to faces but sure to next time.

Tosh, sorry about lunch as well, I was in a simliar boat as to Lozza150, needed to get 2 cars registered, but for sure next time.

great work and had a great time, I'm looking forward to the next one.

Hahahahaha....true true....but then i think tex just had a fascination with them....he kept getting carlo to follow me around...and then there were the sleazy attempts at picking me up..... :bahaha:

Ronin,

Cheers mate for a pretty well organised cruise in the end... so yeah we did a bit of extra site seeing... but hey, I've organised a few cruises and they don't always go exactly to plan. But we made it to everywhere on time and had some laughs along they way!

Good job mate... even if you did leave Duncan, the bloke in the pulsar (sorry forgot your name) and I behind at the begining!

I had a great time coming back down the putty road to get home... I'll have to get to organising a cruise up there in the nearish future.

Good to meet those that I hadn't met before and also to see some faces that I had seen before. (I was the bloke in the gunmetal sky with the SAU forms for anyone trying to work out who I am)

Look forward to the next one.

Sorry, I did it when we were waiting for all to finish refulling at gosford... and totally forgot about it when we got to amanda's... I can email it to you if you like? [email protected]

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
