Skyline Thursday Night Cruise - 6th March, 08


Recommended Posts

Well it's been ages since anyone's organised or done a Thursday night Skyline cruise and in saying that, we're due for one.

I've not yet taken the GT-R out for a run on a Thursday night and since I've not taken it out for a while, it's time to roll out the red carpet and make an appearance with it.

The night will start on the northside and make it's way to the southside of town.

Location 1

When: Thursday, 6th March. 2008

Time: 8PM

Where: DFO Carpark

From here, we'll make our way over to Mt Cootha Lookout...

Location 2

Time: 9PM

Where: Mt Cootha lookout (where you usually sit along the dirt gravel area looking at the city)

Then from here, we'll proceed over to riverside near south bank....

Location 3

Time: 10PM

Where: Riverside

After riverside... those that are up for a highway run heading south are welcome to join us in our journey to the Goldcoast...

Regular Thursday night cruises have been doing the Brisbane to Goldcoast run as Saturday nights are Goldcoast to Brisbane.

Post up those that are interested in attending this.

Bring out the skylines and lets make this a big Thursday night for the skylines for a change :thumbsup:

I'll have the camera with me of course and i'm sure others will take this chance to get a heap of photos with all the skylines lined up together :happy:

Attending :-

Myself

hate to put a downer on this mate but if u are meaning the DFO on airport drive i have been there with another club a while ago and it has been chained off apart from the staff parks and docks around the back but we were also warned last time we were there that it was federal land as it's all owned by the airport and u need written permission to be there otherwise it's a federal offence which is a bad thing... it wasn't the usual scare tactic either as i personally spoke to the security guard and he was very nice and just warned me for future reference

but other than that it sounds like a good idea to have a SAU thurs nite meeting and i will try and drop by but i'm usually at pinelands from 9:30 on...

Hope what i have said helps man :banana:

ok firstly sorry for being a party pooper again....but.... from my experiences with toombul the security there are instructed to call the cops immediately.....and make u move on.... they might have changed since i was last there tho

however... the sound of the later heading down the freeway which i assume would be maybe meeting up with the pinelands ppl... sounds really good man.... i'll do my best to be somewhere :laugh:

p.s. i'm not a killjoy i just have been cruising long enough to know the no-go places

I dont think that you will find toombool a bad place to go, since there is plenty of space. If we where to park in the carpark they can move you on just because you a stopped. I think toombul is a good meet spot. I am really lookin forward to meeting some of the members.

yer indeed im def up for this which is the 1st meeting point

im going to head over to toombul first but i dont know the way to cotha. im going to head over now if you guys are still keen im going to be in the front carpark just after the bus stop out the front.

Edited by Skylinestyle101

sorry man i must have missed ya didnt see a single line anywhere did a whole lap of the place as im new here and have no idea where there u would usually meet. i sat at cootha till 10 also and nobody showed there. was dissapointed for my first time out. was good drivin around tho

    • I'm actually not sure - I think it was "Stealth Performance" (It really is near impossible to find a FEMALE 1/8BSPT to 1/8NPT male at ALL) but having the thing leveraged on a 90 degree angle on a small aluminium fitting is not too smart. Also in not too smart, I've drilled out the center of the broken fitting so there's maybe 0.00001mm of thread to bite into, so yeah. I may have to get it drilled/tapped/plugged entirely. Given I could conceivably tap a thread/adapter/pressure line in any point in the oil system I suppose it's feasible to run a line to the Nissan Sensor to keep the dash working. Do these exist in AN fittings and the like? Like an AN fitting that has a NPT (or other?) thread as well for putting a sensor in?
    • I would agree.  There will be an amount of boost you could run safely with an otherwise factory system, but it would be low enough to not be worth the cost.  And if you are reliving your 20s, you know a 'little bit' was never enough. Personally, if I didn't want to spend the money, then stick with NA bolt-ons, and maybe a tune.
    • Fuark, at least the motor survived. What brand was the fitting that snapped?
    • Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.
    • Measure voltage at the starter solenoid terminal when the key is at start and it has clicked. If it is really low, then the suspicion falls on the ignition switch (contacts or wiring thereof) as causing a voltage drop instead of sending enough volts to throw the solenoid all the way to engage the starter itself. If it is a decent voltage, then the suspicion is on the solenoid. Might have s horted coil, or might hva dirty contacts. Rip the starter off, dismantle, clean up contacts and inspect winding. It might not be possible to see if there is a short in the winding though. I have a spare starter here that I could measure the resistance of the coil, as a guide to about what it should be, if you need a comparison. <parts hoarder>No you cannot have it.</parts hoarder>
