Sorry guys I cant make this one. I shattered a bearing inside the front dif witch in turn shattered the gear pin witch in turn pushed back at high speed and shattered a gear then the gear teeth sheared off and took the front gear and after all that the lot dropped to the bottom of my front wheel drive that is apparently magnetic 0_o and did no more damage witch the fella said was what saved me from having to replace the main gear and the turning gear.

In the end he said the resin this happened was because the gear old I was running * RED LINE Light shock proof * was the corse of the bearing shattering in the first place

I am happy now at least I know what that bloody sound is and it wont be driving me crazy anymore

* Repost becouse im to lazy to say it again :( *

I did get the new brakes,brake pads and the rest of the geniral maintanance things dont though :O

you might wanan change the start location,, last cruise i organised started there, and the security guy said no meets after dark in there parking lots... he said he would let it slide becuase i said alot were oming.. but he wrote done regos etc....

why would we drive all the way to yatla for no reason, refuel and just turn around and drive back hence wasting presious fuel.

why dont u let it slide for another week?

then organise a meet at say chermside for northsiders,

to continue to a southside meet at eg; kangaroo point or something for all to meet up and chat,

then say laps in the city or whatever

keeps it a lil more centeral

The reasoning behind DFO is for those on the northside to meet up and cruise to the southside location in a group. DFO has easy access straight onto the gateway heading south.

Reasoning behind Yatala is to re-visit the old days (give or take a few years back now) where the majority of us within the cruising scene would cruise down towards yatala, have a pit stop for a few minutes and then make our way back towards brisbane.

At this stage, this may be postpon again as my car isn't running all to well and is in bad need of a tune which wont be happening for another few more weeks due to work.

Of course, someone else is more then welcome to take over the roll/lead of this cruise if they wish.

he said his car wasnt running and asked if anyone else would like to take over.

was just offering people that do want to cruise out this week another option,

taken the wrong way obviously

    • Yeah I've had too many issues with knock off's on the BMW's. I don't want to do a job twice or more because the parts are shit.
    • I read this and thought "ah! I will do this scissor jack on the tow point thing!" I just use my floor/low profile/costco jack and lift the car up by the tow hook itself, then slide jack stands under. Never thought about using scissor into floor jack combo :p
    • Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!    
    • So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat. 
    • Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞
