Good day today! Pity about the sunburn! Good maps with easy directions to follow, well done!

As for getsum, yeah it wasn't the drivers comments, it was his passenger. But in saying that he brought the passengers so he is responsible for their behaviour. Not to mention the 'driver' was also drinking smirnoff cans at one of the stops, that definately isn't very responsible or a good image for the club.

Perhaps the cruises should be alcohol free as it is a family event!?! Not to mention dangerous driving through some of the roads.

But aside from my above whinge it was an awesome cruise.

Thanks for organising it guys, makes a good day out!! :worship:

finally got around to uploading some more photos.

If your friends are so hard I'm sure they can defend themselves, so no need for you to do it for them. And enough with the veiled threats of violence, you just come off as a keyboard warrior.

You say you're "exactly the same" and "proud"?? So you're proud of being a tool who chucks skids in the middle of the day on a charity cruise? does ridiculous speeds on the freeway on a charity cruise?, belittles other Skyline owners on a SKYLINE charity cruise?, swears at women when confronted about their actions? and drinks alcohol while driving on a charity cruise.

You and your friends are the kind of people who give the Skyline community a bad name in the eyes of Joe public. They see the actions of drivers (and their passengers) like you and your mates and tar us all with the same brush.

You tell people to "think before they speak", how about you all think before you ACT!

On a positive note, congratulations and thanks to the organisers and all the other lil' doers on another successful and well planned SCC.

Unfortunately I had to leave early due to family commitments, but the time I did spend was very enjoyable, Cheers :worship:

First up, i'd like to say I was very impressed with the turn out, and the behaviour. There is always gonna be one or two people, no matter what you say, who don't behave in one form or another. But all in all it was fab. Thanks to everyone who helped organise, thanks to those who helped set up and pack up, and thanks for voting on the show and shine peeps. I personally loved the swimming the most, except for being molested by those little forking turtles. And NO Andy it wasn't freakin fish. I swear to god it was a definite 'snapping' action going on. Now, down to business...

i dont know if he was yellen but the passenger didnt have many nice words i didnt pay much attention after his first few words

that coppa was a champ ??

lol so now the truth comes out was the passenger yeh well thats no suprise thats all fair enough next time take ur greif up wiv him not the driver and bad mouth him and his pl8s i no him pretty well 2 so i no it wouldve been an adventure hahaha.also b4 u say some shit bout me i exactly same and proud kinda glad i left mine in the garage 2day

Okay first thing's first. I was the bird in the pink shirt who hassled the driver. Yes I did assume (which does make an ass out of u & me :worship:), but his mate, the passenger (who was clearly pissed off for some reason unknown to all of us) denied ANYONE making comments. It was made very clear that there were no inflammatory comments or verbal dihorrea coming from that car. Either the alcomohol was blurring his memory, or he was just to chicken shit to admit he'd caused a fuss on a charity event.

thank u blinkstar and i agree wiv u on the fact he took him on the cruise so he is responsible 4 his actions so next time whoever it was who went 2 driver wiv the problem go 2 the source

We would have, if we had've had the correct information, and if he didn't flatly deny that anyone said anything. The sauce is weak in that one.

I have no problems with the rest of you, or the driver of GETSUM for that matter, he seemed like a very reasonable fellow, didn't come back with any bullshit remarks about being in school, he was straight down the line 'I didn't say anything, we don't want to cause problems' that sort of thing. And that is all fine, but that pain in the ass passenger needs to learn his place. If you're a passenger you have to behave like everyone else, drivers, gf/bf's and pets included. No mouthing off at others unless they've gone out of their way to be pricks or cause issues with you, no screaming at people for no reason, and no shitting on the grass.

I did manage to talk to some guy who had well wicked Adidas NBA Pistons sneakers :D and I have a feeling he was the other car joined with the GETSUM crew. Fab guys, nothing bad to say about them whatsoever. Hope you can overlook our irate-ness at your mate with the flap jaw and come to more events... even if all we do is talk star trek & computers :) Perhaps next time we can gab about our flux capacitors and brush each others' hair :(

Mmmmm sunburn and insect bites, It was a good day and a good turn out. It was good to catch up with you all. Noel your car is looking and sounding awesome well done, and hello to the bitch in the passenger seat. Did you make it to Everton Park in one piece you guys were gone. Double lines and caravans kept getting in the way so we got held back, thats my excuse and im sticking to it.

This little thing with GETSUM nice car by the way, I didnt hear or see anything what happened. Yes he was drinking alcohol but that was his decision. When impact blue was talking to them about the matter he was just saying that its all over and lets just enjoy the cruise, if they were trouble i think they would of carried on with it but they didnt.

I think its all being over exaggerated.

Any videos going around yet.

Well done to the organisers

Anyway cant wait for the next meet.

Edited by subzeroR33

was a great day i really enjoyed the drive.. got a bit sunburnt though ;)

nice to finally meet some people in person and see some old friends again. Looking forward to attending more events over the next few months. I have some pics that ill put up tonight.

Well done to all the skyline attendees, there were definately some nice cars out!!!

Was good to catch up with everyone again even if it is only once a year.

(I was even remembered by someone from my roo incident back before the first MSC)

Where exactly did we end up for the bbq anyway? not a bad drive but I've lost that map.

I think i got my daily bug intake too...where the heck did they all come from? lol

    • 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.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
