ahh bugger.. Missed this thread I; I was throwing the diff back in the car after having it tightened up. :kiss:

I went for bit of a cruise; in the hills up at lofty was crazy. Fog everywhere I couldn't see 10m in front. :S

So back down through city etc.. I think I spotted Andy? Down on Greenhill road at the traffic lights. I was stopped at the intersection on portrush.

ax53b70p25,

Try and keep cruises as such low key as we don't want the attention. It started off well but got a little messy. There is a few members of this board that are in the force so please keep it smart. Next cruise thread... Use the report button to keep it clean. :P

My car developed a bit of an issue and turned into a skyline WRX!!!!

I am changing the plugs today and will do an oil and filter change while i am there.

Hopefully this will sort the issue out if not it will be off to the mechanics for a diagnosis of what the problem might be.

As it could be coils packs as the problem is intimitant and comes and goes.

Sorry for having to make you guys stop but the car came good and thae went bvad again about 300 mewters up the road.

If your car started sounding like a wrx mine did this turned out to be a dodgy coil pack frying my ignitor first replaced just the ignitor and cooked that one so some splitfire coilspacks and another ignitor problem was all fixed let us know how you go

The late night cruise was fantastic

Was too foggy around Mount Lofty but was very clear when we got to Montacute Road. We lost a heap of cars around Mount Lofty, I can only assume they prefer hanging around in carparks than cruising.

Made it to the first meeting spot where we were waiting for the rest of the cars to turn up. Then some tool in a ford ute started doing donuts, so we all got out of there. Lost a few more cars due to that.

by the end of the cruise there were no skylines in sight, only an STI and 2 EVOs

Have put the new iridium plugs in now and havent taken the car out yet, but if it happens again will be putting splitfires in the car.

3 hours to do a set of plugs is not fun, wish i had the money to do the coilpacks at the same time. Might have been worth it then!!!!

The neos have so much stuff around the coil pack cover!!!!

Will let you know how things go when i get a chance to take the car out.

yeah no shit where did you guys get to, spewing the 32 with standard suspension couldn't hack the roads , also what turnoff did you guys take? i think we took the other direction ended upcoming back down the gorge, wish it was a bit drier and the 33 would have come out , and would have kept up to yas. we missed the crafers turn off couldnt see shit with that fog ended up going via stirling turn off. wil be arranging another cruise but will keep it fairly small i think there were too many cars. hows the form of the ford driver eh, wanka, you know the fuzz rocked up just after we left... funny about that.

What ford was it?

Was some absolute tool in a XR6/XR8 ute that had no brain capacity at all.

Why idiots like that turn up to a japcar cruise and do stuff like that is absolutely mind boggling.

Surely there would have been a fantastic mullet and moccison festival that he missed out on.

Cheers,

Stu

Wasn't a black xr6t ute? A mate of a mate (young arab/greek difficult to tell) went for a little cruise with us once and drove like a mad man everywhere.

    • 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.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
