Back to the top!

Any update on possible plans?

Earlier its started means the further we could go.

North or South?

Up and down Tambo, followed by Springbrook perhaps?

Or even driving the hills of Nebo/Glorious and then out to the Dams?

Already done all except Springbrook in the Stagea. Good fun :D

PS. Does anyone else have an S-Tune? Or am I the only one......

Still finalising the drive: will be Gold Coast based,more than likely.

I am in Sydney until next week, so will do a final recce and guage opinions then.

Looks llike being a good day!

like 66yo

ANYwhere, ANYtime :P

Someone has to rep up the 260s :)

Met a few other stagea brothers and sisters that aren't on the forums here, ill see if they are interested :)

cant wait!

ps.. if there are 2 dodgy dattos following me... i did my best to get rid of them! :(

Down Numinbah to Natural Arch is a nice cruise.

I need to know the date asap. I'm a lazy old basrard and need to book the Stag in for a full detail. She looks really worn ATM and I would be ashamed to turn up with her looking so bad.

Ok, people: 24th Feb it is. As Hugh suggested, the Numinbah/Natural arch drive is a nice one: fun, but not too challenging, and there are some nice picnic areas out that way where we can stop for lunch. If anyone wants to meet in the morning, I'm up for an early cruise around, then we can meet the rest around 12pm-1pm and cruise to Natural Arch for some lunch and a chat. After thatwe can head back to civilisation and either disburse, or go for a drink, or whatever. I'm back on the Coast now, so I'll go for a couple of runs myself to confirm that the drive is still good (anyone is welcome to join for 'evaluation purposes':huh: ), but that looks like being it. How is the 12-1 pm meeting time for those only able to make afternoon? Given that the majority of you are from Brisbane, I suggest the afternoon meet to be at Coomera BP, as there is plenty of parking, unless someone has a better suggestion?

Cheers,

Micah

That's great and unfortunate at the same time! Congatulations!

Not to worry: We Qlders have been a wee bit slack with the get-togethers: I have an ambition to have a quarterly meet, as the guys and girls I've met so far are a good crew, and there's enough new people popping up that we should have at least 1 or 2 Newbies each meet (hopefully!).

So, irrespective of the level of success we see with this Meet (but it's all looking quite good at this stage), I will be looking to have another sometime around June, when the turbo-friendly weather is here :banana:

Hi all

And thanks whooby

that wood make it exit 54 I hope. I will be at surfers paradise that weekend.

I have rung Charly (red stagea 1st cruise) and he is a maybe

Layton (dark green) may not make it as he has football.

Going to toowoomba this weekend to see Jeff (white stagea) this will be his 1st cruise if he can make it

cheers

Shaping up quite nicely! Whereis.com.au doesn't tell you what exit number you are taking! You won't be able to miss the HUUUUGE Dreamworld and BP signs, though! I'll edit and post the exit number shortly...

    • I mean it's a bit late to say "This won't have any tangible effect and it is not worth spending more than about three seconds on it, please just enjoy the car" But I said it anyway. Does the pod actually get any airflow in that position behind a bumper like that?
    • Hey guys - apologies for digging this up. Has this website been shutdown or is the outage temporary?
    • So, went shopping at Just Jap for things that might work for the intake  After some trial fitting there I ended up with a 3" x 45° silicone bend, a 3" x 300mm alloy straight, and a humped joiner, some minor trimming will be required to shorten some of the stuff, but nothing that is beyond my "ham fisted" skills The guy at Just Jap was most helpful as we had all sorts of joiners,  bends and stuff out trial fitting  Laying it out above the stuff in there it seems everything will fit nicely, and looking at it, it is probably the way I should have been looking at doing it from the beginning, probably..... In the end it is a front bar off job anyway to remove the original stuff behind the front bar that is taking up the required realestate needed, so maybe a Thursday or Friday job And because I'm a hopeless consumer, I grabbed some new steel wheel nuts, the current ones are a spline drive type with a "security" socket, that somehow someone keeps misplacing, the new ones are a basic black steel 17mm hex socket In other news: I just did my "final" tax return, I am now officially a old retired veteran pensioner, and I'm milking the system for all it's worth,  life is good
    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
