The Ben Simpson Memorial Cruise - proceeds to Youth Suicide Awareness

http://www.nissansilvia.com/forums/BSM-Cru...eb-t210902.html

Hi all, this is my first time posting up a cruise event, so bare with me

This is a very important event, its a cruise for a special cause, that cause is Youth Suicide Awareness.

Basically on Feb 4th (please look at link - http://www.nissansilvia.com/forums/BSM-Cru...b-t210902.html) a large cruise will be taking place, clubs from all over S.A will join and unite as one to donate money to help support Youth Suicide Awareness. A stuffed toy in the car on the day would also be much appreciated for those whom we've loved and lost.

The meeting place will be in the north eastern suburbs and venture into the hills, no speeders or show offs will be tolerated as this event has very special meaning to alot of people and cars crashing or being stupid will be kicked out. General rule of thumb.

If you arent a member of NS.Com, im sure the oldes Mark and Jules will come on this forum and pm those interested the final details. Police are being notified so therefore there should be no trouble.

Im hoping many of you attend, it will be great for some members of SAU to show there compassion, and there fine vehicles.

Thanks for the thread & your support Nathan.

We will try to be brief, on the 1st Feb 07 it will be 2yrs since we very unexpectedly lost our only son Ben (aka dr1ft_pig13)a 19yr old drift and import fanatic to suicide. How it all started Ben was also heavily involved in NS.com ....as we have been since he he left us. We have used all our time & resources to raise awareness of youth suicide & how it can happen to anyone. You may have seen his memorial stikas "RIP dr1ft_pig 13 always remembered" on imports around town.

On the day of his funeral the guys had a cruise in his honour and because he loved teddy bears they had a stuffed toy on an empty seat in his memory....so this will be the third memorial cruise.

You are MOST welcome to come in any type of vehicle...a gold coin donation to Youth Suicide Awareness & if u have a loved soft toy, please let it ride on an empty seat, with you. Hope you are able to make time & join us.......see you there.

    • Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.
    • So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
    • OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there
