How about, for those NOR, Meet at whitfords then go mitchell fwy > kwinana fwy > south street > ranford? I can't organise it because I'm not sure if I'll be there (it basically depends if I have time to fix my car or not), but if I am, I think the above is a good way for NOR to meet up with the rest.

Was a lot of fun, some parts required a bit of concentration, but enjoyed it heaps. Sorry to anyone who got stuck behind my slow arse on the zig zags, my first time down there, and passenger not keen on hills, so took it easy, tried to let as many people as possible go before me though to try avoid holding people up.

Yeah great cruise guys. Bit long but I still enjoyed it.

However, me, Dora (DXPLORA), Adz in the 80, Mike in the VSpec N1 and another s13 got done on the way back home after the cruise, almost hoon lawed, but as they accused us of exceeding 140 (no proof) which we weren't, we only got tickets for speeding and nothing more. The cops were weaving between traffic in front of me without lights, without indicating, and even me having to brake or they'd hit my car when they switched lanes to block us off on the freeway. They didn't even clock us they were all assumed/estimated speeds according to the cops speedo. Not even sure if they could do that. :)

But it was still a good night, cheers for all those who came, esp those who came from Bunbury and NoR.

Waiting for that letter in the mail... :D

What letter..that you've lost your license? If they gave you speeding tickets on the spot, you won't be getting anything in the mail. Plus they can't book like 4 cars for the exact same speed at the same time. I'd suggest the five of you take the matter to court (as one if possible), and you'll win hands down.

He didn't give me a speeding ticket there man, he said the fine will come in the mail in a few weeks. I actually did want to ask why he couldn't give it to me then. And I found out it was actually over 7 of us he pulled over. He let the XR6 go because he wasn't and I quote by Mr. Officer 'a f@cking rice burner'. Even though he clearly had our club stickers on his car...

It's stuffed in so many different ways. We'll definitly be contesting it as my friend only has one demerit point left. I don't care about the points as it will be my first ticket ever, more about giving them money for nothing. I'd accept a fine for 120 tbh, but no way 140.

Thanks for coming Gazza and Skyman. What car were you in Carl? Where'd you meet us up at? Was hard to keep track of who was joining up at each spot, had a pretty good turnout. Had 50 maps and still ran out. I'll make sure we print about 70 next month.

Guys

Sorry I bailed after the tunnel but I still had a fair drive to get home with the co-driver nodding off.

Nice to meet some of the crew and have a bit of fun.

Not good to hear about the grief on the way home.

Were they still cleaning up the mess at Stakehill Road lights? 4WD had a bit of a bingle, Cops and Towies with half the road blocked.

I had a good fast run when some nice fella in an old commonwhore decided he would run interference (and no doubt keep himself awake the way he was using all the road) for most of the dual cariage from Lake Clifton.

Till next time.

Cheers

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.

      Skyline v36 350GT sedan hunting on idle

      By Robot · Posted

      Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣

      After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
