I suggest everyone get an UHF radio.. ;)

Thanks I have uhf radio, this does NOT keep 100 cars together.

Sorry my reply was a little sharp. Not ment to be sharp, but the pure logists of a GROUP this large is difficult. This was shown by the "BRAVEHEART" run the other weekend, which had a POLICE escort and a bunch of VERY well behaved owners, driving along a straight motorway. I am sure COL and his band have a plan. UHF radios only keep us on the same path, it would great if at our destination we had an awesome arrival of 100+ Skylines in a single file, for all to see what model citizens we are. Hoon factor ZERO.

last year we had 2 or 3 stop of points to allow teh group to re group. also every car had a a4 bit of paper with directions and insturctions with street names etc etv that you needed to know incase of falling behind.

Yeah dude, its been done 2-3 times before without a problem. The only people who get lost are the ones that dont listen and dont follow the map. Even then its pretty bloody hard if your just following everyone else. These things are organised with knowledge of the potential numbers. Like we wouldnt go along a road with 200 traffic lights etc.

I am with Max, through the previous experience, it was difficult to even keep less than 20 cars together. But I have to point out that the main reason was the group leader never look back and wait for the whole team. Hopefully this giant event can turn out to be a great cruise!

BTW, not everyone has a uhf radio, maybe someone can borrow me one?......

Well Im with Dave ;)

Its been done berfore.

its actually easier to keep 70+ cars on the one track than 20.

If the 70 or so cars get split up into 2 or 3 smaller groups there are more people in each group, therfore a greater chance someone will know the way.

Muds tips for staying together -

Bring your UHF, keep chatter on the main channel to a minimum, familiarize yourself to the voice of the person giving directions closest in front of you. (if you dont have a UHF now is the time to buy one)

Read the map that will be handed out BEFORE we leave and get a gist for where we are heading.

A huge froup like this will move quite slowly, stick withthe car infront, but don't tail gaite. People who tailgate are likely to get punched in the face.

Keep an eye on the car BEHIND you. If it falls behind slow down to let it catch up. The car in front of you should then slow down etc..

If a gap in the line occurs, and you dont have a UHF, and you can't follow the map and you aren't 100% of the way pull over and WAVE the next car by so they can lead.

Keep your stereo turned down.

Leave any idiot mates at home.

TBC-

Just to allay some fears, the route will be clearly marked on the map supplied on the day and there will be at least 2 catch-up points on the way. These also allow some great photo opportunities. But the UHF will be the saviour of most so do your best to get one for the day. Some people have two of the little cheap units and may offer to loan them to others or even "rent" them out with proceeds going to the Charity???

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
