Yeah good nite, a big sorry to pokie I told you i wasn't comfortable takin you, lucky i didn't as i nearly came unstuck. a really good nite no piggies and no incidents, will pm you all next run, will try to keep it small like the last one, less attention. To you all a great bunch of guys no wankas no heros. next time all try to have 2way radios. try to keep too many details off the forum or pm ppl.

Hey Peter,

Thanks again, was a bloody good cruise. Good group of guys, good roads and great pace. Excellent work on the meet time and the depart time. 10-15mins waiting for people to turn up and then leave. None of this hanging around in carparks for hours.

Kamal - hope your stomach has recovered.

Cheers,

Stu

Thanks Stu, will keep u posted on the next run, maybe make it 1st week of april or last week of march will check my schedule. I think we'll keep it to the group we had , good buch of fellas. hows that last couple of corners eh?? Gonna Get rid of that HICAS, scared me shitless.

Had a ball in the red r33..... Got to do it again some time..... Hopefully my lsd wont fail agian (went into open lock - which made some of the corners a little interesting getting the power down around them)

My bro was in the front seat (Red 33) and filmed most of the cruise (got some good footage on gorge rd of Ax53 in front of me pushing hard and shooting flames out the zorst.

Had one close call (bit of understeer at one stage) but apart from that was an awesome run... One of the better ones i have been on. If eny one is interested in doing this again PM me with details -- (too much fun to miss)

What happened to all you other guys on gorge rd????? ax53 and myself had to pull over and wait for five min?? Hope noboddy spun or became unstuck---- I ended up leaving the cruise at lobethal as i live in the hills. Cheers for having me on it....one of the best cruise that i have had in a car!!!!!

Gotta get some radios boys and girls... make things easier in the future!! :D

No one came unstuck thankfully, you hung in there pretty good considering you had diff problems, be a little careful what you put on the forum as piggies watch this. we don't need to give them any more ammo, also the moderators might pull what we say.

Sounded like fun; doubt the bloody stagea wagon (read: heavy!) would keep up.

Must get that hiflow, and the suspension, and the......... etc.

Or ax, maybe the Fireblade? :D

I think you've been told before about the fireblade......... MUST HAVE 4 wheels unfair advantage...... plus we need a cop bait in the form of a wagon.

ROFL :laugh:

'sif a cop would ever pull over a 'Volvo' wagon!

I have a mate at work who lives in the hills area, and over lunch we were talking about the weekend and he said " God Friday night i was sittin home watchin tv and heard these cars screaming past me, we'll be pickin them outta trees" I laughed and he asked me what i was laughing about I said mmmmmm I know who that was! HAHAHAHAHAHA how funny is that.

In short...about the Gorge Road, we weren't too sure where we were all going, so Madaz pulled over the side and we had a 5 min break :) Not like we were on your tail or anything to begin with :) Same time gave the cars a break on the brakes themselves :)

You need to get some 4 or 6 pot calipers! -- rip them off a write off 33 -- should fit rite on -- you wont beleive the diffference! You wont run out of brakes unless you push extremely hard.

Anyone got some old plates off a write off 33 ? I have to get some interchangable # plates! hehhehhehe (just joking)

    • 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.
