POSTPONED TILL NEXT THURSDAY 3/8/06

Since we haven't had a Thursday night skyline cruises in a while (give or take a few weeks), I thought I piece together one and get the ball rolling on getting some more skyline events happening.

For North siders -

Meet: DFO Car Park

Date: Thursday night, 3rd August, 2006.

Time: 7:00pm.

Depart: 7:30pm.

From here, we can cruise down south towards Springwood to allow southsiders to meet up with us.

For South siders -

Meet: Eight Miles Planes Car Park (Across from the Bus station along Miles Platting Road)

Time: 8:15pm.

Depart: 8:45pm.

I organised a cruise early this year which started at the Eight Miles Planes car park and we were not kicked out by security. This was probably due to us being resposible and not creating a scene or any unwanted attention. Of course there was the VL who did show off at the lights but was not apart of our group.

From here, we can cruise down and hit the old Thursday night spot at Yatala BP. Those that would need to refuel for the journey home can do this at Yatala BP or if requiring Shell fuel, Shell is only up the road.

From here, we can decide to hit either the city and do a few city laps or head for riverside.

The cruise will allow for those who have not been on any skyline cruises to meet others and of course, stand around and have a bit a chat.

Please do note this is NOT an offical SAU QLD cruise. Any skyline forum members (sau qld members and sau qld non-members) are welcome.

Those that have UHF's are encouraged to bring them along and use them on the cruise. Channel we will be using will be given out on the night.

Anyone wanting to bring camera's along are also welcome to bring them.

I'll be trying to get a hold of a video camera to take any video footage for the night.

Post up your interest.

Also with the thought in mind, hitting riverside may be a better option then city laps for photo's.

With the skylines parked along the road at riverside and having the view of all the buildings and different coloured lights along corination drive from the riverside would stand out perfect for a good photo.

This can be an additional photo to mud's signature :(

Yeah I'd be keen for a cruise tomorrow night, but Mark's right - riverside is a fairly well-known hangout. Expect to be hassled (or at least followed) going through there if you're not 60 and driving a Camry. Such a shame, as it really is a nice spot.

My brain is mush atm thanks to four hours of looking at a database so I can't suggest an alternative, but I'd be interested pending the destination.

I work near the BP at Yatala and go past 8 mile plains on my way home - so I'd be leaving Yatala, driving past the meet point, going home, then basically going back to work and home again vai somewhere yet to be decided lol

Well we can discuss where to go from Yatala once we've reached this spot. I dont want to go to Mt Cootha based on the cops raping everyone there lately along with Milton.

City laps sorta defeats the purpose of actually standing around, talking and getting to know each other, ask questions etc.

I'm open to suggestions if anyone has any.

Been a long time since i have been on a skyline cruise

last thursday night cruise i went on, my car was stock as a rock and was a auto.

goin to the shops at 8, but would like to know where you guys roughly will be at 9 30

most probably will be around milton area, and cruising round the city

I wish my car was off the bloody hoist :)

I would love to go but I dont think my car will be ready :O

Well stop looking at it and press the down button on the hoist. Hurry up lol.

Im glad you postponed it as i have been called in for overtime at work.

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
