God and i actually wanted to go on one of these, guess im not going to considering some crap seems to happen every time.

I for one enjoy going on these cruises, it's a great way to enjoy your car and meet people with similar interests and have a fun day out.

It's not meant to be a race. That's what track days are for. But accidents can happen to anyone... it shouldn't stop people from attending these events.

i agree

and i think its not a race also, its a cruise

some of those with neo 6's have a fairly heavy foot when behind others...

Yes, if it was just a cruise, i would agree with you there whole heartedly.

But in reality, you cant sit there and say that.

And it should indeed discourage responsible people from going judging by the stupid actions of some people

There is video evidence of people getting crossed up out of service stations on two separate cruises (they were organised here)

Now there is someone who's ended up totalling thier car... people admitting to tailgating others.... (that was organised here)

All things which simply do not happen on a 'cruise', it sounds more like a illegal road race than anything else.

So hence my post stands. Behave or bugger off.

agreed. accidents can happen to anyone

Accidents happen everyday, and more often than not people have themselves to blame for them. If i let every indicent that ever happened to someboday in a car, or more specificly a skyline, change the way 'I' think, then I would never want to do a track day, never want to go to the strip and never want to go on a cruise. Hell i should probably stay away from intersections... Myself like Dillon have been on the last two and have enjoyed them thoroughly. It's up to yourself (i.e the driver) to make decisions on how you will behave. I am not condoning any illegal behaviour, and am not suprised that accidents do happen, however i always have a good day and enjoy talking to others about thier cars.

its not just the accident though, people have clearly posted that they were tailgated on this so called cruise which is illegal behaviour anyway

take away thew accident you still have people acting like tools, when it was just ment to be a cruise

This may all be true. And, yes it does not look good for the club. However, I do not think the finger should be pointed at everyone who attends these cruises and furthermore blanket the entire cruise as an illegal road race. I wonder how many people in this club have lost thier licences in the past, I know i have, and consequently drive much more sensibly because of it. Likewise i think a lot of people will learn from this, and perhaps unfortunately it takes something like this to happen to get the message across. I like many other have enjoyed myself in a safe manner, and feel it's a shame that others will be detered and frown upon such events. I am definately looking forward to the official GOR cruise to see what thats all about.

This is true, but that was a select few and not everyone. you yourself were on the one before this - I just feel the whole event should not be branded as a blantant disrespect for the club and road rules. anyways I'm over this - this sucks

Truer words have not been spoken. It sucks!

yeh but its the select few that give the whole club a bad name normally

i was on the last one, and thats been my last unofficial cruise since

and that was fairly well behaved, since then there was the sorrento cruise and this one

and i was on neither of them

It does not look good for the forum. That is where i am coming from - Admin.

The clubs position is clear, has been since day one.

Its now at a point where the stupidity of users will result in harsh crackdowns.

Its upto the people in question (and you know damn well who you are) to either behave, or go elsewhere.

Otherwise it will be destroyed for everyone by the people who are too stupid to learn, and that's not fair on the greater populous.

The finger is clearly being pointed at anyone who was there and was behaving in a retarded/illegal manner, also those who just let it happen without saying a word. 3 strikes, 3 cruises. Call them 'accidents' or whatever, but getting 4 cars in a row 45degree's sideways out of a driveway is purely deliberate action by the driver.

The SAU official cruise is sensational. Has been since '04. Great sights, relaxed drive and a few beers/BBQ on the Sat night :yes:

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
