Hey guys,

with the winter weather coming to an end some time soon, i think this would be the ideal oppurtunity to organise another GOR cruise. it will be open to members and non-members and by my own account, to ANY car.

It soulnds like a long time but so as to generate enough interest im posting up the details now

ALSO THERE HAS BEEN INTEREST FROM THE NS FORUMS. THEY ARE THINKING ABOUT JOINING IN OUR CRUISE. ILL KEEP EVERYONE POSTED ON THAT TOPIC.

so here they are:

Date: 9th September 2007 (SUNDAY) due to the 2nd being fathers day..

Time: Meet 9:30am (servo on ring road near avalon) departure for GOR: 10:30am

IF YOU WILL BE RUNNING LATE ON THE DAY PLEASE MSG ME OR CALL ME ON 0423 089 477 AND I WILL WAIT FOR YOU, WITHIN A REASONABLE PERIOD OF TIME. LIKE 10-15MINS.

Time Estimations:

>Meet point to Anglesea - 1hr

>Angelsea to Apollo Bay - 1hr

>Apollo Bay to Meet point - 1.5hrs to 2hrs

take Gor to Apollo bay (2nd stop - photo on pier, and 45mins to 1 hr to have some food and re-fuel)

post-31466-1185689316_thumb.jpg

return to little river servo via whicelsea. I will also have a small discussion with all involved while we are in Apollo bay, the return route may even be back along the GOR. we will vote on the exact return route.

THIS IS NOT AN OFFICIAL SAU CRUISE. THERE IS NO ACCIDENT POLICY OR ANYTHING TO COVER ANY HICCUPS ALONG THE WAY. IRRESPONSIBLE BEHAVIOUR WILL WARRANT YOU TO BE ASKED TO LEAVE THE CRUISE. WE ARE THERE TO GO FOR A CRUISE, NOT SHOW OFF HOW BIG A BURNOUT WE CAN DO.

i should be there, wait i will be there.

give me a chance to use me new brakes.

and foe people wondering abou the insurance stuff "there is no cover apart from your own" so if anything happens let some one know so they can help with any problems that might arise from your insurnace claim (thanks danial).

dan you wona go with a bell st maccas meet agan if i orgonise it.

Sounds like a plan bro - I tried organising something like this a couple of weeks back but I got defected and heavily fined so couldn't go on with it, but this has always been my intention.

I'm in for now mate. however, it would IMO be a good cruise if it's a Skyline only cruise ...

yeh i took over the cruise to see if we had enough peeps and for those that said they could come we would have had only 3cars incl me.

on your skyline only point, generally, there will be 99%skylines anyway, the other 1% are diff cars that skyline owners mates drive. one of the guys on this forum, dilmah, has an rx, always comes along to these.

but i understand what your saying, and i would prefer it to be open to any car. we'll have a bigger crowd and more cars.

Cheers mate!!

Yeah, am very keen for cruise now... by the start of SEPT - I should have resolved a lot of stressful issues therefore it is perfect timing bro... good you for organising this.

Yeah bro, I see your point ... the more the merrier but a focus on Skylines is a good idea! ;)

Have you decided on a meeting spot, time, events and would dinner and a movie be a good idea.

A couple of months ago, I saw a whole heap of Toyota Soarers storm into a Village cinemas car park - damn, that was impressive, we should do the same!!

Cheers,

meetin spot will be the servo near avalon airport, its a mobil/shell i thikn from memory, map location will be put up soon, times are the first post, 9:30meet, 10:30 departure.

events wise, stop in anglesea, stop in apollo bay for lunch/photos, cruise back, and for those that are still keen maybe finish the night off with dinner/coffee somewhere in the city or in lygon st. that sorts stuff can be worked out on the day. the main idea tho is the cruise to apollo bay and then back

hey guys the servo danial is talking about is the BP servo at little river (at the front of averlon airport).

i used this for my GOR cruise earler this yea http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...howtopic=159782.

dan i would be up for a dinner after maby some were in the northen suburbs.

Should have a Skyline by that time. He's sold his car already and we're going to look at a 33 today. :thumbsup:

Put dilmah and I on the unsure list.

Ive got a mate with a legacy GT wagon (twin turbo) that i think will prob come as well. So you can put him 'GTWAGN ' in the unsure category but i think he will come.

Come on people's lets get more cars down!

    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
