Hi I am new to the skyline scene and I am interested in coming on one of these cruses. I was just wondering where do u normally go on the cruise.

G-day mate

And welcome aboard

They dont normally say where the cruise is heading. you find out on the night .

That way you dont find a suprise police road block 10 ks down the road.

make sure you have a full tank and a few hours to kill..

This is not just a skyline cruise all make and models can turn up to this..

Ya should consider joining the SKYLINE CLUB..(SAU.Victoria)70 bucks and your in..

That way you get to come along to club events. Track- cruises-dyno days-social heaps......

eg,.50 Skylines heading down The Great Ocean Road that was a buzz....

Any way i will be there at this cruise l. come over say G-day.. just look 4 RCHOO

Cheers...

Yer that's correct, everyone will find out on the night where the cruise is heading.

Grab urself a map with a gold coin donation and that'll give ya the directions.....

Not long to go now!!!! ...oh and dont forget your two way radios!!!

I dont know if it is a good idea advertising the defected vehicles from the last cruise

HaHa! You're probably right! ....although considering all the cars that attended only one received a canary; and if you had of seen his car it was ridiculously low. I dont think there was even any springs in it!

Brandon - at least you know what to expect.

ummm...ok, not sure if ur just being sarcastic there. But yea like i said above, only one car received a canary and that's coz it was ridiculously low.

What if i don't have a radio. I Might be able to get hold of one, but i might just have to try and keep up with the group and follow everyone else round.

I'll probably bring a box of Uniden 2-way radios and give ya one for 20 bucks or something...

But otherwise, yer just follow the group!

Thats exactly right

Yer again, like i mentioned above^^^

But just incase anyone else has any doubts ....

As well as Ausrevs having zero tollerance for hooning behaviour on their Officials, we frown upon unsafe/unroadworthy vehicles as does SAU. If you get picked up by the Police for having an unroadworthy vehicle or stupid eratic behaviour then rightly so...

Ausrevs cruises are just that....a cruise

Yeah i may be a bit hard to find if you dont already know who i am as i'll be taking pics for the website. But you might catch me if you see me driving in....Charcoal colored R33 with reg plates TVJ 205.

Hey just wondering how many ppl you had turn up to your last cruise.

I have been telling a few friends about the cruise and have a couple of mates coming one with a Mitsubishi Lancer GSR, and another with a Subaru SVX. I will be rocking up with my skyline of course. I am looking forward to it.

Also just wondering how much you get hasstled by the blue guys on these cruises.

Im not 100% sure on the exact figures....but it felt like there was over 100 cars there...and easy over 250 people altogether.

In regards to getting "hassled" ...we dont. But just like any mass congragation of people the police will have a sticky beak (as per usual) as im sure any car club in Vic would experience.

They may have a quick drive around the meet point just to make sure everything is ok and thats about it....if anything, people start taking fotos and having convos with them! ...its quite entertaining actually! LoL

In saying that, if people decide that they wanna drop a burnout or turn up in a vehicle that is grossly unroadworthy then the Police will stop them....but that comes down to your own stupidity!

Wow thats wicked. I Never been to any car meet before where i had a good car to join in the fun. I didn't think there would be that many ppl. But it all sounds good. I look forward to seeing what others have done to there cars.

To give you a better idea i checked how many maps were sold at the last cruise.....120. So that means that a minimum of 120 cars were there as i doubt every single car had a map....

This one is tipped to be even bigger as we have grown heaps since then!

See ya at the cruise! ....and dont forget to bring that extra jacket for the last meet point :yes:

    • This. As for your options - I suggest remote mounting the Nissan sensor further away on a length of steel tube. That tube to have a loop in it to handle vibration, etc etc. You will need to either put a tee and a bleed fitting near the sensor, or crack the fitting at the sensor to bleed it full of oil when you first set it up, otherwise you won't get the line filled. But this is a small problem. Just needs enough access to get it done.
    • The time is always correct. Only the date is wrong. It currently thinks it is January 19. Tomorrow it will say it is January 20. The date and time are ( should be ! ) retrieved from the GPS navigation system.
    • Buy yourself a set of easy outs. See if they will get a good bite in and unthread it.   Very very lucky the whole sender didn't let go while on the track and cost you a motor!
    • Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
