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.

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
