It may be an option to call the police to tell them about the cruise, but the problem is not all the police get informed or the msg doesnt get out there and hence being infective in the first place

Also they may take it upon themselves to decide to easily locate and defect us while where there

its a 50 50 chance situation

you either inform them and run the risk of telling them "hey..defect us"

or eliminating any problems with them

personally, i say dont worry about informing them and just liason with them on the day

we did that with the jap cruise (and that was over 150cars) and we had one serious hitch in which only (i belive) 2 cars got defected that night

but it was my fault for even having a meet spot at such an open and publicly seen area

another thing is, seeing as this is a day cruise, police generally dont think we going to have drags or run amock during the day

they have the thought of: lots of cars + night = runs/skids

think most clubs have had minimal interference with police on day cruises

its the sad truth, but not much can be done

yup,

i echo that.. there will always be the patrol cars etc.. they dont get that info, which makes our efforts pointless... or they take it appon the selves to do a bit of revenue raising.

i think we shoudl just go... and obey the law.. and hope the're arn't any assholes on patrol that day.

to date... i dont think SAU has told the police aobut our crusies.

But even so we dont ahve a bad name.

no point letting them know. No doubt the read the forums and are aware anyway.

Dont get the paranoia about coming to crusies/coppers etc etc.

Our last GOR cruise had 30 odd cars and there was no problem.

There is only a problem if you act like and idiot

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
