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...

    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
