Talk about going off topic! LOL

Ok, its this Sunday (7th) from our side we have approximately 50 cars meeting up, plus a contingment from SilviaNSW, some from Performance Forums, and you lot!

Now come on, I wanna see more of you there!!

:P :uh-huh: :O

So can I please get a final show of hands for this cruise? Its gonna be huuuuge!!!

By the way, on our big cruises like this upcoming one, we hold a little competition where we award a trophy to "Car of the Cruise". Basically any car who attends the day's events entirely is eligble to enter. Look out for our committee members handing out maps and forms. Each car will receive a map and voting form.

See you all there, look out for me, I wont be in my 180SX, I'll be in my mates black series 6 RX7:eek: No, not Nissan, but still a very cool car:uh-huh: :D

George, you shouldve come mate... :D

it was a pretty good day though... we had id say between 70 and 80 cars when we left Homebush, which had reduced to about 60-odd by the time we got to Katoomba due to the fact that people didnt seem to be able to (or refused to, i dont know) read the maps that we provided, with all the directions clearly listed.... but anyway. :rolleyes:

we had a mad run along Bells Line of Road before invading Katoomba (you shouldve seen it bro, the locals couldnt beleive it... we caused a major traffic jam in the main street for a little while there. :D)

stopped at the park, where everyone froze their balls off (it was windy as all hell), and everyone cast their votes on the car of the cruise, the winner was TOY.12A the blue RX-3, who recieved a trophy for his efforts. :mad:

there was a couple of nice Skylines there, including Cihan's (MRTRBO) and Coxy's (DGT.58U), also another very nice white one with bronze rims (im not sure who the owner is, he seemed like a nice bloke though. he might be on here?) and there was also a big showing from the SilviaNSW club in their Silvias & 180's...

but im telling you mate, you missed out big time... :D spewing you couldnt make it.

ill post the link to some of the pictures when they become available (250 photos being developed, scanned & uploaded takes a little while ;) :eek: )

cheers

Hey dudes,

i dont know much of you that go on these forums apart from ONARUN...hey george.

i didnt end up going to the cruise to katoomba, but regular cruises like that should happen more often, its cool to see everyone hanging out.

hey DORIFTO i dont know you but you sound like i cool bloke, im into drifting myself, i dont have my 180sx yet but will have one in a few months, but i have spent enough drifting time in one to say i owned one, trust me, we should get together to share our knowlegde.

    • Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.
    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
