Today, I went to maccas to get breakfast with my friend. He has a supra.

It turns out that the supra forum was running a cruise up to the entrance. We didn't have anything to do, so my friend asked if it was ok if we joined them (I was in my skyline).

They said it was alright for him to join them, but "it would be better off if your friend didn't come with us. there are guys here that don't like skylines or their drivers".

I don't know, but I didn't think that was very nice. On sau cruises, cars of all kinds are welcomed.

Same happens here..but I guess you gota respect that its a supra cruise so they only want supras to be cruising together.

Though im sure if they did let you tag along,you'd be like the wolf among all the sheep..lol.

Anyway dont take it to heart..some clubs operate differently.

I just don't like this statement. I didn't say the full thing above, but this is what they said:

"it would be better off if your friend didn't come with us. there are guys here that don't like skylines or their drivers"

The road is there to share.

I mean, It's not like I really really really really really wanted to drive with them anyways. It was just like maybe I might drive. Like people dont' have to take it so seriously

On sau, I don't think we really discrimnate against any cars. I mean, there have been commodores on our cruises.

dont worry, theyre all talk. if i was you i would've gone for the hell of it.

if you went it wouldnt be any different than any other cruise except it would be lacking a few skylines. if anything they'll all be trying to give you a run and then talk about it when you all stop.

you shouldnt let what one idiot says reflect the rest of the forum, especially if it stops you from cruising with your mate.

def knob man...dont worry about it though. Let them go have a wank over how much they loathe skylines and skyline drivers. It really shouldnt be a big deal who goes on cruises as long as they are not up themselves...

Dont worry mate!

I saw them too today - but they were on their way back on Penno Road, I gave one the thumbs up cause his car looked tops, but he gave me a "greasy"

tool bags!!!

I said to my friend to go anyways without me. I didn't want him to miss out because he was keen for a drive. He said that a lot of those guys were really geeky and didn't have any communications skills. Their confidence relied on the car. hahaha

Hi liz and chris!!, i'll wave to you if I see you. hehehe.

I never do though, which is weird, coz i'm up your way sometimes.

I live in st ives. black sII r33.

someone keep an eye out on the supra forums events so we can 'coincidently' be at the next meet.

only problem i see is we'll have to take it a bit easy so we dont get too far ahead of them when its time to cruise.

Where is supra James when you need him, he usually cruises with us skylines guys. lol

Supra James = :)

j/k.

Regardless of the type of car you drive, a cruise is a cruise, thing is we or the cars we drive don't have a very good reputation because of all the "positive" exposure it's received through TV ie: A Current Affair and so on... there's always some f**knut doing wrong shit in a line. If that was the case with Supras..... we'd be weary of welcoming them on our cruises too... specially anyone that we've NEVER seen.

Don't take it to heart... i doubt it was personal.

    • Need to see other side of PCB in that area...ie; I don't see any thru-hole mounting, just soldered vias (smd zeners in SOT23 have 3 legs but only 2 are used, as reflected by PCB tracks)
    • 4 to 5 is fine. It will be slow, but that's better than blowing turbos. I don't have a PS pump idle up solenoid on my car, because... I think when we put the Neo in we retained my R32 lines. But.... From inspecton of the R34 vacuum hose diagram, you can see that the solenoid needs to be connected to the turbo inlet as source of clean air) and the plenum (as source of vacuum - which is the place for the air to flow to to cause the idle to increase). So 3 to 1 is VERY WRONG. 3 should go to either the turbo inlet, or the plenum. Follow the other hose from the PS solenoid and if it goes to the plenum, then your 3 goes to 2 2 would also serve as a bleed port for a boost solenoid.
    • Pull them out and pull more apart. You can't do shit with them still bolted to the floor of the car.
    • Yes it is. ZD1 is on the other side of the board. Where ZD1 is marked is clearly opposite a 2 pin device. Our 3 pin device here is not a ZD.
    • Alright, a little update on this... I called Fulcrum, who used to be the distributor in Australia. No Bueno, they don't service them anymore.  Called shock works, who don't service them but offered to dyno the shocks for performance, and suggested DNA in Sydney might service them.  Called DNA, who also do not service them and basically said they try to steer customers away from tein for this exact reason these days- there is just no support for them anymore apparently.  Both SW and DNA said they are a not necessarily a bad product, but they just don't service the brand or know anyone who does service the brand anymore.  So... I could keep calling around but at this point I think I'll probably just spring for the shockworks product, unless anyone here knows anything.  Cheers 🍻
