:P Hi there.

Im thinking of getting a cruise going and making it a fundraising cruise for Diabeties Australia. It is diabeties week in July the dates are 13-19.

The 13th is Sunday I think this would be a good day to do the cruise as it is the start of diabeties week.

Diabeties Australia will have some products for sale, which I can sell and buy.

Bathurst seems to high on peoples list of where to cruise to.

If we go to the top of the mountain we could have a BBQ and a get together and support a very good cause.

Any ideas for the day and the direction of the cruise, by all means please put them forward.

If you want to know I am a diabetic,

thats why I would like to help them, Because they have helped me and other diabetics out in a big way.

Thanks

cam..:P:burnout:

Bathurst... Heh, my home turf. You can't have very fun drives 'round the mount in daylight hours though. 2am with CB radios and an inspection lap (in both directions) and it can be quite interesting :-) But if the cops see a shit-load of skylines drive through town to the mount, rest assured they'll be camping in the usual places all night with their unwholesome radars.

Why raise money for diabetes, I thought you could get it for free?

/end insensitive bastard

We have a family history with diabetes, would be keen to come along and support the cruise.

*cough* bathurst *cough*

BBQ when we get there, slow laps of the mount, back home again.

I think the cancer cruise last year was pretty succesful financially.

Duncan - yeah it was, we didn't sell anything, but after our costs we gave about $700 to the Cancer Council. I will be doing it again this year.

Count me in for this'n. Give the dates quickly tho, because July for me is filling up quickly.

Ta,

Chrstian

    • You know how your car rolled through a fence in your last jacking escapade? Scissor jacks increase the likely hood of that sort of thing happening immensely!
    • http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.
    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
