Once again great cruise, thanks Marss. Nice to catch up with people, and that dick that did the burn out your a knob and are seriouslylacking down stairs to need to do something stupid like that.

Nice to meet some of you..

I think it was a bit disorganised, as in people just getting up and going, cars going the long way through Dee Why, as there was no lead car, or at least one of the organisers hazarding so people can catch up... But I guess with that much of a turnout I think you guys did alright..

Hope everyone got home safely.. There was heaps of highways on the way back to the city.. =(

Yup, I'll be the first to admit there was some organisation lacking. the reason why we went through Dee Why is that it is the usual way we go down.. Dunno why people went Wakehurst Parkway, but i guess with that many cars, so few radios and lack of designated "lead" cars, it was bound to happen.

the whole "getting up and leaving" had a lot to do with the burnout that occurred as it's a sure-fire way to get the wrong kind of attention, and I guess people didn't want to hang around waiting for it.

good to meet you, would have liked to have been able to have a proper chat, but circumstances (tired GF :O ) didn't allow it

well organised cruise mars

at one stage I had a whole convoy of cars following me and I had no idea where I was heading and neither did any of them haha, but luckliy it was a straight road down towards deewhy

Assasin,

I guess the cruises you go on are much different to ours.

Majority of us dont cruise. It was more a social meet up and some dinner. This has been going on for many years with SAU NSW (way before most of our time) and has always had a great turn out.

If people wanted to leave at their own will, good on them, we aren't or the organisers aren't going to tell people when and if they can leave.

With a big turn out - 70 or so cars we had - if we were in a big group on the roads, it causes massive delays for the other public members. Esp when everyone sits in the full 3 lanes slowing up for everyone else, we do have to consider everyone else on the road.

And yes, as soon as that toolbag did that burnout I wanted to get out of there also.

People may have gone Wakehurst Parkway to avoid the stretch along the Northern Beaches due to police/defects?

Cheers,

Chris

Oh well, it was definately nice just seeing a massive group together, and meeting some people..

I'm sure where bound to cross paths again Smasha.. =)

I had a great night.

Was a shame that I didn't mix with any of you. I just hung with some mates I dragged along that I hadn't seen in a month or two, but I'll get more chances to meet up later I guess :thumbsup:

Was funny when the Skyline did the massive burn around the corner and one of my mates thought it was Marsss' car. He is not one for paying attention to fine details such as a lack of spoiler and not custom number plates. I got to cut him slack though... once apon a time he mistook an Astra convertable for a S2000... :D

Hope this happens again :P

    • The HG high flow is excellent, and costs about the $$ you're talking about. But it, and probably every other highflow, uses a diffeent core than the original turo, and the original Hitatchi core is quite long. So, I think it is inevitable that there is likely no such thing as a highflow that just "bolts on" with no other effort required. And the same is likely true for HG's outright replacement "bolt on" turbos (the ATR things). And the same is likely true for anything similar from elsewhere. I have no idea if the cheap Chinese/Taiwanese complete turbos from eBay/Temu/etc are as bolt on as they claim. I mean, they claim the bolt onto the NAs as well as the turbos, and we know that can't be "bolt on". But it wouldn't matter because I'm not buying a $169 4 psi turbo for anything other than a paddock basher.
    • Bummer...yeah i "need" something to "ease" up the work and for my driving it would be enough.    Iam counting the tune "without" turbo. I do not mean "cheap" like something from Temu around 200 USD, "Cheap" is something around 1000 USD? 
    • Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.
    • So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
    • OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there
