Hey guys,

I thought i would be a good idea to try organise/discuss a Non turbo skyline cruise.

Many a time i rock up to a cruise and look past the hordes of commodores etc to see the small group of fellow import enthusiasts that i will try to stick with for the night. Only to find i am quickly blown away on the straights buy their turbo charged, intercooled racing machines.

So anyway, if other non turbo drivers wish to organise a cruise for our snail-less machines let the descussion begin!

Things like

- The date

- Night or day cruise

- Where the meet point should be and where we should travel

- Any activities etc.

:thumbsup:

I'd be up for something... happy to help organise too ;) Just got to get my work sorted out cause it looks like I'm going up north for a couple of weeks soon. When all my travel dates are sorted, then I can be more certain on dates :(

well like i said, theres no rush. Lets just chat about it first to see if we can get people interested..

I think inviting other N/a cars from other forums etc is a good idea. Get a bit of variety happening.

(If anyone is on nissansilvia.com etc perhaps post this topic there aswell?)

Anyone know of any good areas for a drive? Hill are usually pretty fun but have to watch for Roos etc..

any interest or comments are welcome :happy:

just be reminded no hoon behaviour will be tolerated this includes

putting it into a low gear at high speed to make your car rev lots

attempting to do burnouts but failing due to lack of power

attempting to power over drift but understeering into the curb

last but not least

attemping to make "whoosh" sounds with your mouth upon gear changes

kthx

:ph34r:;):P:(

whoosh sound can be created with shaking up a coke bottle and opening the lid when ur change gears, its hard to do it urself. and u can adjust level by much fast/much u open the lid, and it will eventually run out

might take the camry out for a cruise lol. VVTI power!

come on people!

i knew a lot of the N/as weren't up to the task of cruising with the big kids on the block but i was certain a few more people would be interested in cruising with their own kind.

theres not much point in a cruise if we dont have a half decent group,

i sujest everyone goes out and buys an n/a skyline just so they can participate.

also not so sure about the gravel and my already chipped paint work.

:O

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
