Just letting you all know that in order to prevent "slip ups" with behavior, I will be making a registry of all vehicles attending (Make, model, No. plate, etc.) We DO NOT want any negative type of attention as this goes against everything that the club stands for.

We are car enthusiasts out for a night of pizza and conversation and not to have mini races on the way there.. or to see how much rubber we can burn.

You are now aware, fun will be had, but on the right side of the law.

Thank you all in advance.

i think ill make this my first SAU cruise, so count me in.

Quick question, if i was to buy a CB , what should i be looking for, Brands? Functions? etc.

well ultimately you'd want one that can receive and transmit...

look for above 1W if you want anyone else to hear you outher than your passenger...

um.. don't pay more than $100

Ebay is the best place to get it, IMO

Jaycar sell CBs and such, if I was buying a cheap one that's where I'd go. :P

For my 21st my parents gave me a Icom IC-41S. It is 5W and has more functions I can poke multiple sticks at, but I use it for work, when I go camping and on cruises... it gets a fair work out. Retails at $399 (which I only just found out, I'm really not worth that much lol) and is apparently very popular in mines and industrial applications. It's also made in Japan, always a plus :P. Realistically, this is very much overkill for what I need, but it does the job and will last ages, especially since it has a metal shell under the plastic to protect it from any would be epic dropage from great hights/speeds.

(good thing my plates are random and hard to remember... and my car is a sleeper... burnouts here i come!)

hahahaha i hope thats a joke steve, plates dont stand out, massive black wing doesnt stand out on a white car, awesome backfire when you are shifting down..... (still inlove with your car, can i touch her exhaust holes????? or mabey her head lights???)

nah i got a couple of unidens for christmas as a kid for me and my brother to be idiots with in the bush, they meant to be 0.5watts and rated for 3km distance but we can talk to each other from castle hill to north parramatta (both on hills) and straight line distance would be atleast 8 km's, but this was in the days that things wrent made in china and uniden is a pretty good brand,,, im sure they pretty cheap now, like $50 or something..... cb's are good though, when driving and my gf is following me and someone is being a dickhead to her she radios me and i cause them trouble lol....

also im not sure if its correct but there are a few repeater stations around sydney and the can amplify your message (well thats what i understand) so in the past i have spoken to people in bankstown when im in castle hill, not reliable but does happen

depends on your budget and how often you use it....

SATANIC n crew are now out due to technical issues... video documenting reason will be uploaded on Youtube tomorrow. Minor set back only, but nonetheless one that keeps us away from this event.

    • This. A 3d wheel alignment is like $120...just take it to the shop. Since theres probably multiple adjustments that need to be made after changing something. Mine has front/rear lower arms, traction rods, tension rods, camber arms, toe arms, front upper arms, hicas kit, sway bars and coilovers. I measure from the edge of the bolt holes on the originals and set the same length on all the adjustable stuff to dial it as close as I could to OEM. Took it straight for alignment; it didnt feel right at all...after alignment, it feels perfect. Similarly i've just changed the springs on another car; and I still needed multiple adjustments to bring it back in spec.
    • A full Veilside kitted JZA80 Supra in Meriken park in Kobe city a few weeks back
    • Its a well known brand in New Zealand; its a rebrand of the Rhino RAV3.  I don't know what the wiring difference *is* between the rev.1 (installed about 15 years ago) and rev.2; but as you say I would think its reasonable that it uses the same immobiliser relay circuits. I had a look but couldnt see a similar harness; but didnt move things around since I didnt want to mess with it   It was one of AVS well known Authorised Installers; I spoke to AVS themselves about it but theyre unsure hence seeking advice more so from the skyline community who are more familiar with the actual car and its wiring. Im in Auckland; but the installer is on the other side of the city so hes very reluctant to come back to even look at it to confirm something isnt connected into the wrong wire.  I dont want to drop the name since they *did* do a really good job for the most part. Everything is very tidy and he fully replaced all the alarm wiring, all the sensors, the wiring to the door motors, installed a switch which was never installed in the first place...really happy with the alarm install itself..just not this one issue. We all make mistakes, if it is the alarm, I just want my fuel pump getting proper switched, fused, power as it was; without having to shell out for an auto electrician to switch a wire and tell me it was the alarm. 
    • Even with the piston at TDC there was room for it to drop, but I don't think it can drop fully into the cylinder, the problem you have is that you need something pushing against the valve to hold it up so you have enough room to put the new stem seal on and the spring etc.  I used compressed air only because putting rope in the cylinder seemed a bit risky to me, I know people have done it countless times before like this. Overall it's a pain in the ass job. Honestly you'd probably be better off taking the head off because the risk of dropping something in the engine and the finicky-ness of it all is very stressful. If you are going to attempt it though i 10000% recommend a 36050 valve spring/keeper tool. I had both the traditional lever type and after doing 1 cylinder it was absolute pain to get those valve keepers in place, even with 2 people. That 36050 is amazing, you do have to push hard to get them in place but it works perfectly almost every time. Back to my actual issue I think my engine is just tired and old and the rings have gone bad. The comp numbers (cold, no oil) were: Cyl 1 -129psi Cyl 2 - 133psi Cyl 3 - 138psi Cyl 4 - 137psi Cyl 5 - 157psi Cyl 6 - 142psi   Cylinder 5 and 6 having the most carbon on them.
    • Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?
