Hey guys, thinking about organizing a BBQ or dinner night followed with a cruise.

Just wondering how many gcers would be interested and are active here. :P

Was thinking mid next month, most likely a Sunday. As most people will have sundays off.

Cheers.

hi,

I'm keen to meet with fellow owners'. since BWCP folded there is a bit of a void for meet-ups. so any new initiative is welcome.

I'm going to the USA on the 11th of next month for 2x months, so can't participate in any meets during that time; but after/before, I will definately show up. any day/ni, is good for me.

'onya', for trying to get someting going down here!.

regards

Yeah

most of these meets are at Brisbane

also there is this guy who organises regular Saturday Meets via Myspace

but his cruises are nothing compared to the Skyline one i went on.

He has hosted about 6 locally and only one was ruined by police.

usually a turn out of 15-30 cars (Mixture)

if your interested I can PM you details of the next one he hosts.

But I would prefer to go on a cruise with some SAU'ers

I'd prefer a regular meet somewhere on the Coast myself, but for a good roll up I would travel to Brizzy. some years back [in my V8 days] I used to go the Ford Cobra Club meetings. these were held on the first Sunday of each month; this was good because the meets didn't have to be continually reorganized , we all knew it was on and if we could make it we did, if not, there was always next month. sometimes there would be heaps of cars, othertimes only a few, but still worthwhile. perhaps something along these lines is worth considering!!.

I'm interested in the details of the Saturday Meets so details would be apreciated.

regards

just as long as its before november 4th as im leaving to go into the Air Force :D

I can get two photographers to come and do the photos shoots.

and possibly 3-5 other skyline owners to come along.

Just need a concrete date so I can give work notice.

Also for the people who are interested in the local cruises I will PM you the Time & Location once its posted to me.

me johnno and dave used to do semi regular meetups on the gold coast.... I think some of you came along with us when we did some of the springbrook runs.

Johnno moved back to brisi (and blew up his engine), my engine also let go and dave is currently in melbourne (and rebuilding his engine). I'm keen for the odd cruise/meetup, but cant do places that are likely to have the boys in blue present.

slightly off topic: my nephnew joined the air force recently; he has just finished his first year and loves the life..and pretty good money considering his experience... he works out at Amberley. he reckons he is going to stay in for the rest of his working life. good luck with your new career.

Hehe yeah I have deferred this semester at Griffith Dan :P but will be back next semester. Needed a break.

I came to a few springbook runs with ya strik3r :P

Okay guys as for the cruise, well as im an events organiser for Hardtuned.net and we regularly hold monthly bbq meets. Would any of you guys be interested in joining our BBQ we holding this month on the 14th?? Last meet we had an awesome turnout of Nissan Members on the Gold Coast.

If you guys are more interested in just staying within the forum for members, i can always just organise sau'ers only.

But it would be good if we could get to know alot of other imports and its members on the gold coast.

Idea's people??

Would be great if we could get everyone to come along to this.

OT maybe another run like the previous one? That cruise was the best and it was my first cruise too

    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
    • What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
