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

    • Had a go at the stuck crush tube this afternoon. Tried things like grips and a chain wrench first but wouldn't just twist straight off. So got to work with a drill. Started small and kept a depth stop on to make sure I didn't drill into the bolt. Made a line of drill holes all the way up and enlarged them. Then a combination of chisel and Dremel to split it all the way up. Levered the split to get oil in there and eventually it gave a bit while levering. Worked it back and forth with loads more oil till it was spinning freely, then with grips I could work it downwards and off. And no significant damage to the bolt (not by me anyway - just the 27 years of rust)
    • Well, I'm tired. I'm tired because about 4PM yesterday, before today's appointment someone immediately bought my bumper. They couldn't get it any other day as they're on the way back to NSW. So I had to do that big GTR conversion I had been planning. Unfortunately, the information on SAU about what you need and how this is done is incomplete. So what should be a simple bolt on affair, yeah, it's not. Did you know if you use all GTR items the bonnet won't close? This little manuever sent me into about 1am the night before trying to dodge a way to get it closed. I will have to revisit this in the next few days  - or maybe not, I may let a body shop figure it out. It all needs to come up and my motivation to pull the bumper off is low. It also seems to hit things in the bay where the GTT bonnet didn't. Yes I used 100% new OEM GTR items. Today, I had the joy of driving to the dyno looking like this: Given I had roughed in the fuel and given sensible but pretty conservative timing, I didn't really bet on having the car drive out any real difference than when it drove in. Sadly due to a miscommunication and laptop fun and games (and almost bricking the dongle, prayers and firmware updates indeed), I ended up using HP Tuner credits to licence the car that was already licenced. So in the end my laptop was used. It turns out my butt dyno is still well calibrated after all this time. The 325kw was on 74% Ethanol, the 313kw line was on 98. The other line is the 'before' line which was 281kw. While the numbers are pretty low, they're pretty in line with what you'd expect. Even if US dynos bump the whole result up about 50KW, gaining 10-15% is similar gains.  The curve of the cam is pretty much spot on with what was discussed as well. All this said, it still feels bad to not see the number you secretly want to see. Even if the car drove great beforehand, and I knew pretty confidently the car would drive out much the same way it drove in due to the nature of a wellish dialled in LS1 not gaining much if anything at all from being tuned from where it was. As expected, the car isn't particularly sensitive to running it at anywhere between 12.0 and 13.0 - And the initial timing at 20deg and 12.0 made 308KW. So 3 degrees of timing, and leaning it out to 12.7 for 5kw, anything above stopped giving any benefit until E85 (which has an additional 2 deg as before). Car itself behaved entirely fine. I found out that 100C = 1.15V! IAT at about 7pm was 19C. I might mess with the bonnet mounting.. but given the REO NEEDS TO BE CHOPPED TO FIT A GTR BAR this is possibly something I may leave gathering (more) dust until it returns to paint jail.
