cowboyb .... we can't do maps cos then it becomes an 'official' cruise, under the CAMS guidelines .... then we've got issues with insurance etc. - ie. if u have an accident and the cops see the map and/or decide you were on a cruise, your insurance will most likely NOT pay up.

Technical point but valid I believe.

Your best bet is to be at the start of the vruise, where we decide the route and tell everyone .... and/or get soeone's mobile and give them a buzz to catch up.

Side point: We should designate a meet-up point at/near the end of the Southern Expressway, when we cruise down it - for those that get left behind .... some people value their licences more than others :)

MAtt,

What mods does your car have?? Good to see you have 257rkw and still be mostly stock?!!

The "mostly stock" in my sig' isn't exactly true :D I've listed most of my mod's here (part way through the thread) - http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...25&pagenumber=1

Time you changed your "basically stock" line dude. Your car is a BEAST! Still would be interesting to see you at the lights. :burnout:

Thanks mate. Traction use to be fairly interesting but with semi-comp tyres it's not too bad now, providing there's heat in the tyres.

FFS, if it's not one thing, its another! I have birthday drinks to go to tonight, so Jaffa and I probably wont be there for the start ... if the cruise does go ahead that is.

Anyone wanna PM me their mobile # so I can find where you guys are at - you never know, we might be able to join up somewhere.

SInce where on the topic of cruises...today I went on SVD cruise...its umm different..not my cup of tea, give me burnouts and screeching tyres anyday of the week. SVD cruises are so mature, in more ways then one.

The svd is an organised car club, which has rules and regulations to ahear by when you go on a cruise. It is not right of you to give the cruise and the svd club a bad image. We are all intitled to our opinions, but you should not give the club a hard time. My 2 cents & yes I am a member of the club and enjoy the forum cruises just as much as you do:)

    • Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.
    • That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.
    • Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.
    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
