good day out with you skyline dudes, must do it again, really sorry about the flat tyre, and holding up the cruize for half an hour, PHAT32 thanx for being my taxi, and to everyone else i held back thanx heaps for your help and patiance.

PHAT32 whats was the name of that place who tuned your SAFC, and where were they again??

it was a great cruise ill definatelyy have to come on one again one day

i had to leave early from apollo bay(to try and get my g/f back to go to work) and i came back through the otways but unfortunately i got done speeding on one of the straight bits after the mountains and the prick in a blue toyota camry got me doing 119 in a 100 zone and driving whilst suspended

ill hae a summons coming in the mail , it looks like im never gonna get my licence back!

but shit happens , the cruise was excellent and i amazed myself that i coulld keep up with some of you guys

i took pics on a mates digi cam and ill post them up in a couple of days when he has sent them to me

bassyk: that was rough. Don't think we saw any on the way back. Not sure what a cop would have done with that many skylines weaving in and out like we were. Was all good fun though!

jamezilla: how was the run back along the GOR ?

black13: did you manage to get your tyre fixed ?? was a bad time to get a flat.

Predator: The run home was fun :D

Ula32 and I gave the cars a good squirt - one of those 'glad I bought a GTR' kind of days. There was some traffic - including a truck carrying full Port-A-Loos (smelly) but we were able to get a couple of nice 'legal' runs - wasn't too often you could get above 100kmh. So sat on 80-90 around the corners most of the way. Lots and lots of fun.

We caught up with everyone in Geelong too :D

Awesome day people.

The photo's in the harbour were simply perfect.

I don't think there could be a better spot... we just need MORE CARS!

so i might organise another for a months time ?!?!?!?!?!?

That way i can drive my own car when i get it back

and then those that missed can come aswell...

and we'll go home the same route.

Those otways rule... pity about a bit of traffic though.

Sorry about the low res - it's the Photoshop auto-gallery thingo:

Gallery

I have all the driving photos at 1024x768 - and the ones in Apollo Bay at 2048 x 1536 @ 300dpi if anyone wants some silly-res images :D

My email address is on the gallery pages.

I have to say sorry for ditching you guys. Fatz wanted to do the whole road in one day so we had to be on the move. It was great to meet some of you guys and if ever any of you are in Sydney, please don't hestiate to let us know.

Fatz and I went totally ballistic, and he's a real nut case! Some pretty wild overtakings by Fatz and it's only a Mirage!

Thanks once again! :)

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
