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:

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.

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
