Hopefully there wont be any holdens there with red and blue lights on the roof like last time we met at Monash Uni Carpark.

that was a bad night. Good turn out, but bad night for a few people.......

yeah no shit. dont want another yellow sticker on my windscreen again!

but i rkn we shouldve got everyone to PM for the details, like we said after what happened last time...

how easy is it to open a account with SAU, an for ANYONE to PM me? :P

the other meet should of had a '' diffrent '' heading from the one that was posted on SAU... which atracted the poilce

do we get the police tracking our meets for the GOR??? or them waiting out front when we finish DECA?? or when we had OVER 40 CARS at the last east meets west

I THINK it was the heading, as history has proven

..nah...they werent, just public vic events...but I just think we should at least try to keep the cops out of events like this.

I bet if it was any of you who got ass raped like me last time, youd feel the same.

Not just out for myself but for everyone...

It's been raised at committee meetings, and I can see where you're coming from Mat.

It was decided not to go the PM route as like AP said already, its easy for anyone to PM asking for the meet point...Also these meets wouldn't be the same if only the regulars were notified...they'd be a lot smaller.

There's been plenty of meets in the past like these that have gone off without a hitch...the last 1 had some extra attention, and now thats the only meet people seem to remember.

This is just a social gathering. Anyone expecting springnats, or wanting to go for some midnight club togue runs, this is not the meet for you.

lol thats funny, if you that worried about the cops dont own a skyline.... if your going to own a Skyline you just gotta deal with it or not go on meets and cruises...

dont forget it just takes 1 cop to see a bunch of cars and they can get on their CBs anyway so why stress about them reading it on here either way if your car is worthy of a defect then your going to get done anyway sooner or latter??...

i dont think the cops go looking for shit like this as much as u think. after autosalon on sunday as we were leaving there were cops outside waiting but even then they wernt stopping the cars...

Couldnt agree more!

Since 2002, i've only ever had police rock-up to one event i've attended (and it was with the commodore club for a charity event).

A simple chat, and all was well. As long as people are respectful, it works both ways.

And ive organised a lot of open meets, hell for the first two years all the meets were open (no club existed).

Yeah your going to maybe get the odd mr plod who thinks he has a point to prove, but overall, paranoia serves no means for cruises if people are doing nothing wrong.

Ill be @ the meet point out east for a bit, doubt dinner though as ive got other events to attend that night

    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
