was good cruise good fun. didnt go down at 6 to c if any one missed the change of plan :( where do we all wona go for the next 1? sunday arvo seems to work well for a fair few people with enough notice!... :laugh:...

Hey Guys,

Was a great day for a cruise, weather turned out to be fantastic and Nene got some great shots of the cars. Didnt get a chance to chat to everyone so we definitely have to do it again!

My vote is to start at a similar place again and head to mannum through chain of ponds and birdwood, its an awesome drive with some fun roads! My thoughts would be to start around 10:30ish, and take our time and have lunch in mannum. Its a straigh forward run, i use to do it in an hour towing my jet ski! Who would be in for that?

And how tough is the pic of 3 black 260's! :sleep:

I can make it to birdwood in 11 minutes from my house. AHEM.

May i lead this next cruise? know the roads like i know my umm.... anyway.

Starting at same location and leaving around 10:30 is a great idea. Making it a saturday would ensure less traffic coming up the hill too.

I'm thinking newton - birdwood for a stop, then onto mannum for lunch(looong roads to stretch the legs), back down the freeway with a wind down eagle on the hill for a finish in the early arvo?? I'll start a new thread tonight.

Dunno if i could handle FOUR black Rs260s :/

Nigel.

4 black 260's and a white one as well!! :D

One of the black ones being a series 2 also :D Would be good to see your car again Craig.

BTW Nene, jet came home. Everyone happy. :/

Your photos look awesome nene! very artistic eye you have there....me and you should organise the next photography cruise together :/

Im thinking my next cruise i organise, all stags are welcome too btw lol, maybe head down murray bridge or something different like that.

See what people think?

Btw the shots i took of your stag have turned out great :D

i took some pics of mine after the cruise... are mine artistic? :rofl::D

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.

    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
