How about this... if you're worried that you might get defected for whatever reason... just go straight to the pizza place. On that point though... you may consider making your car legal in every way if you drive it everywhere.

just sayin'

Good point mars, but it's a small price to pay if it means the cruise is not to be hassled by the cops from the very start isnt it?

Just let them know there will be 'a group' of cars there.. They are much more likely not to call the cops if they at least have some clue that there is something going on rather than shitting themselves and panicking when 100 noisy cars randomly turn up in their car park!

tbh, I reckon if you call and say "we have 50 skylines coming to meet here on friday" they will most likely say: "we don't give you permission to use our carpark as a meeting place" if they say that, and you guys turn up anyway they would quite possibly have cause to charge with trespass. it's a tough situation. I guess if you call and ask them, and they say no then at least you will know in advance and can organise another spot.

An alternative is to meet on the ground floor of the Westfields carpark (the big, ex council carpark?). In the far corner, as far opposite the Victor St entrance as possible.

The ground floor is relatively low car friendly, and in that corner there are fewer people parking as its really far away from shops. Being away from the exit, you generally won't be interfering with customers coming and going, so its less of a hassle for management.

Also, there's an open air carpark between Claude and Archer St across from the Westfields carpark. I don't know if it'll fit 50 cars, but it will fit quite a few. Its across the road from the police station though.

Ok people I have just spoken to Andrew at Chatswood Chase and everything is ok with us meeting there. To make sure, i ALSO spoke to the people that do the security there and they're aware that we'll be "taking over" the carpark on friday night. Once again, when you come in please do it in an orderly fashion as we DO NOT want any problems with ANYONE

Thank you.

That's awesome. Thanks Mars..

Wow.. proper organisation and stuff.

I'll call Lucky and Peps and let them know we'll be there as well

nice work mate :thumbsup: I'm surprised they are cool with it. but that is a great result. it means the likelyhood of hassles has just reduced to practically nothing. providing all attendees behave themselves of course...

I will remind everyone that trying to set of your BOVS, or gate, or generally just trying to fang in the carpark is not considered cool by anyone. yes we all know how loud and manly your car sounds in an underground carpark, but keep the speed below 10kmh and the rpm below 2500 and everyone is a winner. :thumbsup:

It's either Baron or Adam.. They do it to me all the time :thumbsup:

lol, it was adam. I think maybe he doesn't remember about how offical sau is and was just trying to raise the level on spelling on the forum. but we all know this really is offical. :thumbsup: no doubt.

    • 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.
