Hi guys, I'm looking at organizing a cruise some time in November.

i am thinking of another GOR run or maybe do the cruise around town to nice look out spots.

also does any body know of any long weekends in November.

the reason for this is ignition DVD do wont to cover a Melbourne based hot spot, so i said i would give them one in nov so all can

be organized.

I wont do it on a Sunday as I'm coming from Wagga Wagga and may have other people with me so we need the Sunday to drive back safely.

its a 4-4.5h drive.

If all goes well I'll get it going

Cheers, Brentt

I get ignition every month, would definately be up for this, wouldnt be up for GOR tho but somewhere around melb would be good.

the 3rd is the best date as that is the weekend before melbourne cup day and i always take the monday off so its a 4 day weekend for me :D

Yes, then they can have Ignition: Gaol cell edition.

Seriously, how about starting out in a nice outer suburb that isn't assosciated with hooning, but not so uptight that the locals will call the police if a loud exhaust is heard. Consider Templestow, Doncaster, those sort of places.

Definately not Chadstone, after last time.

get onto the Eastern Freeway, a couple dozen skylines on that, 4 lanes wide should make for a good shot.

If it's going to mention Skylines Australia AT ALL I'd clear it with the comittee first. Could be good PR.

Maybe even get them to come along to a track day or something. I think that'd be more impressive than a bunch of dicks dragging on the street.

It'd be a great chance to show people that SAU is NOT about hooning and stuff like that, but if anyone screws around, we can expect every skyline in town to be pulled over the day after the DVD comes out.

Yes, they check that stuff.

After watching every dvd i can tell you that there not interested in street drags, in fact they bag the people who want to be heros and get the place shut down, in fact they never show any actual cruising, what we need is one big meeting place where they can film lots of cars in the one place, also if it is confined to the skyline community then it will flop, most of the meets they go to have 300+ cars from all different makes, for this to be succcesfull we need to get everyone involved, im talking, rotary, toyota, holden, ford, mitsubishi, hell there are even ppl with nice datsuns (not many but a few) everyone needs to turn out to get a big feature on the dvd, if my memory serves me right i believe the biggest one so far was in adelaide with around 800 cars.

Either way i will be there but it needs a lot more than just skylines to get there attention.

Yep spot on. No reason you can't run a kick ass cruise to that location though :)

just to throw a few ideas up, dandenong tourist rd is allways a good drive, its no GOR but still good fun. OR beach rd from st kilda down to like arthurs seat or sumthing, only prob is traffic lights breaks every1 up

even though its a long way from melbourne, has anyone else done the hill climb up Mt Buller outside the ski season times? my parents live up there so i have done it heaps of times and it is a bl**dy fantastic drive. would be great to get a few lines and do a weekend up there but probably too fay for everyone to drive! sooks lol!

few ideas for pple to think bout!

      Did this end up working? Did you take some pictures?

      And finally, the front lower mount. It was doubly weird. Firstly, the lower mount is held in with a bracket that has 3 bolts (it also acts as the steering lock stop), and then a nut on the shock lower mount itself. So, remove the 3x 14mm head bolts , then the 17mm nut that holds the shock in. From there, you can't actually remove the shock from the lower mount bolt (took me a while to work that out....) Sadly I don't have a pic of the other side, but the swaybar mounts to the same bolt that holds the shock in. You need to push that swaybar mount/bolt back so the shock can be pulled out past the lower control arm.  In this pic you can see the bolt partly pushed back, but it had to go further than that to release the shock. Once the shock is out, putting the new one in is "reverse of disassembly". Put the top of the shock through at least one hole and put a nut on loosely to hold it in place. Put the lower end in place and push the swaybar mount / shock bolt back in place, then loosely attach the other 2 top nuts. Bolt the bracket back in place with the 14mm head bolts and finally put the nut onto the lower bolt. Done....you have new suspension on your v37!

      And now to the front.  No pics of the 3 nuts holding the front struts on, they are easy to spot. Undo 2 and leave the closest one on loosely. Underneath we have to deal with the wiring again, but this time its worse because the plug is behind the guard liner. You'll have to decide how much of the guard liner to remove, I undid the lower liner's top, inside and lower clips, but didn't pull it full off the guard. Same issue undoing the plug as at the rear, you need to firmly push the release clip from below while equally firmly gripping the plug body and pulling it out of  the socket. I used my fancy electrical disconnect pliers to get in there There is also one clip for the wiring, unlike at the rear I could not get behind it so just had to lever it up and out.....not in great condition to re-use in future.

      Onto the rear lower shock mount. It's worth starting with a decent degrease to remove 10+ years of road grime, and perhaps also spray a penetrating oil on the shock lower nut. Don't forget to include the shock wiring and plug in the clean.... Deal with the wiring first; you need to release 2 clips where the wiring goes into the bracket (use long nose pliers behind the bracket to compress the clip so you can reuse it), and the rubber mount slides out, then release the plug.  I found it very hard to unplug, from underneath you can compress the tab with a screwdriver or similar, and gently but firmly pull the plug out of the socket (regular pliers may help but don't put too much pressure on the plastic. The lower mount is straightforward, 17mm nut and you can pull the shock out. As I wasn't putting a standard shock back in, I gave the car side wiring socket a generous gob of dialectric grease to keep crap out in the future. Putting the new shock in is straightforward, feed it into at least 1 of the bolt holes at the top and reach around to put a nut on it to hold it up. Then put on the other 2 top nuts loosely and put the shock onto the lower mounting bolt (you may need to lift the hub a little if the new shock is shorter). Tighten the lower nut and 3 upper nuts and you are done. In my case the BC Racing shocks came assembled for the fronts, but the rears needed to re-use the factory strut tops. For that you need spring compressors to take the pressure off the top nut (they are compressed enough when the spring can move between the top and bottom spring seats. Then a 17mm ring spanner to undo the nut while using an 8mm open spanner to stop the shaft turning (or, if you are really lucky you might get it off with a rattle gun).

      You will now be able to lift the parcel shelf trim enough to get to the shock cover bolts; if you need to full remove the parcel shelf trim for some reason you also remove the escutcheons around the rear seat release and you will have to unplug the high stop light wiring from the boot. Next up is removal of the bracket; 6 nuts and a bolt Good news, you've finally got to the strut top! Remove the dust cover and the 3 shock mount nuts (perhaps leave 1 on lightly for now....) Same on the other side, but easier now you've done it all before
