we have cruises i organise them and have been since the star of the year almost, i have rules and we dont go near the city and the meet spot if fine and wont be changing also most of everyone has my number so thats how we stay in touch or we have radios

yes well ive been around doen the bike thing,having a break for bit,just got my 33 over week ago,so will have to go on the next cruise,to keep in touch with it,known roo for while if helps with the contact factor i guess.friend has 33 also just never had anyone to cruise with till now

Does anyone want a free Uniden uhf radio? It has about 40 channels, i bought it in a twin pack and I only need one. They aren't great for long distance stuff but should be fine for cruises/meets.

*Batteries not included. :D

you should hang onto it to lend to people dude... better use that way

i got my twin pack here for such an occasion. go channel 40

-D

Anyone can organise a cruise - heck i did and i don't even have a skyline.

You just gotta be willing to put in the time and effort, keep the cops informed. All SAU cruises inform the cops i hear, anyways. Jack told the cops about mine - don't think they cared to much and we didn't have any troubles.

Its mainly the hooning that attracts them (obviously why they rocked up after a commie did some ringies in the same carpark that we were in)

And yep. Radio's definately come in handy. :D

Used to be crap in the later days of CSA, we'd always get randoms in commonwhores doing a quick open wheeler then go speeding off down marion road....5 minutes later a cop would arrive and ask what was going on. lol

you mean lil bjays coming in LOL

it was good for the length of time we frequented there

as was the old morphettville junction carpark, until we got kicked outta there for the same shit

oh, and on a friday night whack ya UHFs on 31, ive always got the one on in the patrol

*honk honk*

I've organized monthly cruises/meets on another forum for years when I was moderator there and with my previous car - I dont know whats the need to inform the police of EVERY cruise for? Its not a major big event across many multiple forums/clubs where you dont know how people will behave - its just a small get together weekly/fortnightly/monthly between known regulars...

probably a good habit to form though, even if it is just precautionary.

i dare say the boys in blue would look kinder on a cruise of skylines that theyve been notified about then one they havent.

Points taken - though to me it still seems ridiculous we basically need to keep them notified as if though we're a bunch of criminals just because we drive Skylines...

yeah i agree, but on the other hand i remember a lot of night cruises where we come across cops and they arent even interested :rofl:

a bit off-topic, but i was reading that japan is the complete reverse, over there you could drive as low/loud/offset as you want and never get looked at, but if you drive in a group of modded cars they will arrest the lot of you :domokun:

at the end of the day your only helping yourselves by letting them know.

f**k all this talk, we need a hills thrash back in the day style. like meet at base of freeway. eagle on the hill to crafers. back roads to stirling and mt barker. woodside to lobathal and back thru gumeracha.. those were the days. no maps, no cops, no bullshit. just a good old thrash!

wah, wah wah, is all I'm hearing..... :rofl:

The "car scene" is what it is, there is no point in whinging about what it used to be. Don't want attention? go for a drive by yourself. Hang out in a large group? run the risk.

Otherwise you could all sit on the internet whinging about it..... oh wait...... : :domokun:

it comes down to the age old argument,what other people cant have they make other people pay for,any car that looks like it gets looked after,is one reason too many for the coppers to check it over. its just lucky they dont know what thier looking at,the day that happens were all in trouble,i just got me a r33 with all the bits,i spent most of the weekend just trying to hide bits they look for,its rubbish its got that way.

Hey Damo. :domokun: You were quick to join up here! So how hard was it to see the CBR go?

We're having a small gathering at Vilis this friday night 8pm. Come meet some of the guys and sign up to come on the gepps cross Kart Mania night next week which I'm organising ... thats if Vanessa will let you play with the boys :D

btw hows the 33 treating you? Tracy and I are moving this weekend to the new house. We might take some time out and drop by if your home, and take a peek at the new toy. :rofl:

As of today, an Aprilia RS125. im a sucker for 2 stroke powerbands i guess, i'm going to work my way to the RSV Mille when i qualify.

I'm currently selling my GSXR600 race bike, so I can buy another RS250. Raced one before and I miss it. I think the 2 strokes are shit on the street, but awesome bikes on the track. I hope to be racing one again next year.

well the car scene has died in adelaide because of this stupidly cold conditions

while these conditions are great for our front mounts

its not so good on us human beings

wait till summer boys and gals

the car scene will definately return but at the same time the cop attention will too

its so stupid that the cops make us import drivers a moving target

Nail on the head.. Its cold and feels like it has been constantly raining.

Wait for the very first warm night and watch everyone head out.

    • OK, Step 3, if you need to remove the valve body, either to replace it, the TCM, or to do a more complete drain.  First, you need to disconnect the TCM input wires, they are about half way up the transmission on the drivers side. One plug and the wires are out of the way, but there is also a spring clip that stops the socket from sliding back into the transmission. On my car the spring clip was easy to get, but the socket was really stuck in the o-ring of the transmission housing and took some.....persuasion. You can see both the plug to remove (first) and the spring clip (second) in this pic Incidentally, right next to the plug, you can see where the casting has allowance for a dispstick/filler which Nissan decided not to provide. there is a cap held on with a 6mm head bolt that you can remove to overfill it (AMS recommend a 1.5l overfill). Final step before the big mess, remove the speed sensor that is clipped to the valve body at the rear of the box.  Then removal of the Valve Body. For this the USDM Q50 workshop manual has a critical diagram: There are a billion bolts visible. Almost all of them do not need to be removed, just the 14 shown on the diagram. Even so, I both removed one extra, and didn't check which length bolt came from which location (more on that later....). Again it is worth undoing the 4 corners first, but leaving them a couple of turns in to hold the unit up....gravity is not your friend here and trans oil will be going everywhere. Once the corners are loose but still in remove all the other 10 bolts, then hold the valve body up with 1 hand while removing the final 4. Then, everything just comes free easily, or like in my case you start swearing because that plug is stuck in the casing. Done, the valve body and TCM are out
    • OK, so if you are either going for the bigger fluid change or are changing the valve body which includes the Transmission Control Module (TCM), first you should have both a new gasket 31397-1XJ0A and a torque wrench that can work down to 8Nm (very low, probably a 1/4 drive one). You can probably get by without either, but I really didn't want to pull it all apart together due to a leak. First, you now need that big oil pan. The transmission pan is 450 long x 350 wide, and it will probably leak on all sides, so get ready for a mess. There are 24x 6mm headed bolts holding the pan on. I undid the 2 rear corners, then screwed those bolts back in a couple of turns to let the pan go low at that end, then removed all the middle bolts on each side. Then, undo the front corner bolts slowly while holding the pan up, and 80% of the fluid will head out the rear. From there, remove the remaining bolts and the pan is off. You can see it is still dripping oil absolutely everywhere...it dripped all night.... I got another couple of litres when I removed the pan, and then another few when I removed the valve body - all up another 4l on top of the 3 already dropped in step 1.
    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
