Yeah well it stopped you from telling me to go away all the time. :P

I definately think more small cruises should happen if you guys want them, fortnightly, weekly, gold coast, bris, it all seems like a good idea. The nights events should be decided first though, you dont want 5 guys turning up for a mountain run when its a cruise to the gold coast.

i think what u have to realise is no matter where u go

u will get unwanted presence people see u drive past they just tag along

u should vary the meeting points and routes, if u always have a meet at roma or bwcp these are common places for meets and cruises to begin. its gonna be hard for just a skyline australia cruise or wat not, u will get attention from police as they patrol the M1 like it was a doughnut shop.

also a cruise everyweek could be askin a bit much of people and gettin decent turnouts.

if u have it say every 2nd week may be a bit better

and why is it always the gold coast that u mostly cruise too?

what bout the poor sunshine coast people?

yeh the sunshine coast may be a bit further to travel buts theres no rule saying a cruise has to be a nightly thing

i been to alexandra headlands just over an hour north of here very nice area not many cops at all and plenty of places to meet.

i'll be the hero nismogirl :D /jk Seriously though if its kept fairly small and everyone meets in an uncommon place (maybe even an underground carpark?, being out of sight would stop most ppl from finding out) then i doubt too many people would tag along. And as to where to go, that could be decided at the meeting place?

its worth a try just to see how it goes, but if its a large group then people are more likely to want to follow so the smaller the better. besides, it doesnt look like too many people here are interested so i don't think there would be much of a tag along problem. i dont like the idea of a cb arial hanging off my '33 :D

Andrew and I are currently in talks with the owner and shop occupiers of a carpark on the southside of Brisbane. I'm not going to say anymore cause I don't want people meeting there already without persmission. I will talk to Andrew more this afternoon and get back to you all. It's a great place to meet and I'm wondering if Slip would like to step into the negotiations as well (as the president)..

I'll talk to andrew and get back to you.

Hey Pinto, hope the car is ok. Sounds like something went bump in the night??

Anyway, can we set it for this week so we can at least make a start. Can I suggest Roma St Carpark (alongside the grass field area), from about 6.30. We can then maybe have a discussion about places to go. I don't know bris all that well but surely someone does.

Once we do one then we can discuss more, how to make them better, and where we have them etc. We have to start somewhere, and it's not going to be perfect the first time. But it doesn't have to be organised to the nth degree, this is meant to be a casual get-together and cruise. If you want to go somewhere to thrash your car come out to the sprint days.

I'd like to have the venue and time set for tongiht so we can post in the events thread and move this one forward. Please advise if this is too early for you today and we'll set it. Then we can review for next time where and when we do whatever we will do.

Thanks

There is the thread.

If you's are seriously interested in creating a weekly/fortnightly/monthly then you will attend this event and support the idea of creating this carpark as our meeting spot.

Ok then people. Is anyone up for a cruise this fri night - 6.30 to 7pm at roma street parklands. If so please post in here (no point making a separate thread at this stage, if it becomes regular then we can go for threads then). Post here if you are coming, thinking of it or can't make it, then we at least know whats happening.

Thanks all

{EDIT} of course we can hang there to wait for people who can only get there later, the whole idea is we actually catch up and get to know each other as well as cruising around. This is a "social" event as much as anything.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
