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.

    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Did some FASTing ...got the impression that the actual part# was a moot point ; seems all of these hardlines for coolant are discontinued/NLA... like, I take it you're after the hardline that bolts onto to the manifold...that's NLA according to amayama & nengun .... ...just to clear up some confusion, they typically mounted the AAC valve to the intake manifold somewhere near a coolant passage, so the body of the valve heats up & holds it open when engine's up to temp - no coolant flows through the valve, it's a mechanical, thermal connection.
