Ok, so we got that out of our system. I seem to recall seing a thread about a cruise to the sunny coast and back, being a full day event. I also heard some ideas and comments. Lets kick it off from there again shall we...........

Yes, it's a great idea. Lets keep the idea happening and get ideas for a date, time and major places to go......

Now, my own thoughts:

How long - A half or full day event sounds great. Saturday night was only a taste of what's to come I think

Where - Sunshine coast is great. Maybe some nice back roads on the trip up and out through kennelworth then back down the beach fronts (just a thought anyway, some nice roads up there).

When - At leasts a few weeks or a month from now so people can plan for this. Maybe Mid to late May (not the sprint day on the 24th). Are there any other events we need to avoid?

Who - My own opinion is we need to walk before be drift (ok, run). We had 30 maybe 35 cars saturday night which was I think more than we expected. There's no reason we can't do that and more for this event. I am thinking we should keep it to SAU for this one and keep on with the "getting to meet poeple and enjoy the cars" thing. If we have heaps of cars from several clubs it would look great, but be more work and harder to control (and I tend to think it would have more risks in general).

Ok, over to you. Ideas, comments please. Just please keep this on topic and civil. Once we get a better idea of what we all want then we can move this into the events forum.

Cheers

locutus i dont think erins cruise is dead..... its still possible to salvage something from it, so long as we can maintain some maturity and resist from attacking each other.

and yes organising a cruise is hard work and lots of comunicating

nismogirl and i worked hard to ensure the whole group stayed together on sat night.

Thanks Bel. Yeah, I think the cruise is not dead, but the thread should be. All I could think is who would want to read those 2 pages of crap then seriously think about going. Just thought it was time to begin again. I don't want this to be my thread, or cruise. So Erin, come on down and take charge....

Would it not provide a sense of appreciation and some friendly sportsmanship? Could prove to be a very interesting experiment with the five of them.....escorts against skylines, zx's against lasers....lol...could prove a chance for a good laugh.

I do admit that such a task in arranging would be a nightmare but surely someone is up for the challenge????? I feel a dare coming on.

well....sounds like everyone would be keen....lol.

Wondering what the guys on the other four groups think. Do they know what plans lay in store?

As i said it would be a real tough one to organise but a real sense of achievement if it could be pulled of successfully.

But who to follow...that is the question

personally i woudl rather the idea of a skylines australia only cruise, mainly coz this is skylines australia,

if people want to cruise with the other clubs, they will sign up there, and cruise with them...

this is nothing against other clubs, i just think it looks great when you have all similar cars going around, i know on mad mtn runs it has stopped traffic..

bel - i dont think anything was said directly about you or your cruise organising, i thought you and erin both did a great job on the last one...please keep it up

I thought this thread would be different but yous are still bagging out other people..

Yous are all stereotyping people and its ridiculous.

As far as I'm concerned, if everyone here is going to have the attitude of "Skylines only.." I'm not going to be associated with that crap. Yes its a skylines australia forum but doesn't mean we need to limit it to just "SKYLINE PEOPLE"

If that's the case, are most of you's going to pull out of the Drift day that slip is organising.. cause god forbid he invite other people to our skyline drift day...

    • Before all the EFR fan boys come in, have a look at: https://www.garrettmotion.com/racing-and-performance/performance-catalog/turbo/g-series-ii-g30-825-58mm/ It also comes in a T4 1.06 divided housing. I would dare say if you want response & also decent power, this thing would chop.   AND apologies, just re-read your post, you've already bought the turbo... whatever you do, make sure you stick with divided housing and proper twin scroll manifold.
    • People have got to stop doing that. ShatGPT is not a search engine. It is a hallucination factory.   I also would recommend the 1.05. The .83 will "work" for you , in that it will be more responsive, but I think you'll find that it won't be anywhere near as good running it out to 8000rpm as the big housing will be.
    • Decided for the first time ever I would tow my car TO the track day on the same working theory as bringing tools and spares "if I have it I wont need it, but if I leave it behind i will 100% need it" all setup and ready to go out and try these A050 for the first time First session showed I needed to stiffen up the dampers a touch but still managed a few 1:21's without much effort. things were looking good. Came in a dropped the tyres down  to 26/28 as they had gotten to 35/33C from 22C cold The first lap of session two I managed to drop into 1:20's. Then in the second lap into the second session. Coming into T3 and I suddenly lost brake pedal followed by some huge rear end vibrations and scraping sounds. Got it back into the pits after session ended and found this. in the attached video, all of the wobble is in the hub its self, wheel is mint, and bearing feels tight. lKXLqpd - Imgur.mp4   Deciding it was a bent spindle I tried to find bearing/hub assembly locally but was unsuccessful so it was loaded back onto the trailer i luckily brought it on to drag it back home  
    • 1.05 you’ve gotta let it breath 
    • You have to continuously fill it to avoid dry running. Personally the transmissions I've serviced have never been bad enough to justify doing this because it is definitely a pretty complicated and somewhat risky procedure compared to simply draining the pan, measuring what came out, then refilling with the exact same amount.
