Hi Everyone!!

For the last 2 years, the SA car scene has come together to celebrate Christmas with a cruise.

This year will be no different.

HARDTUNED.NET CHRISTMAS CRUISE

Date: Friday, 12th December 2008

Meet: ETSA Park carpark on Railway Tce, Mile End

Time: 8:30pm

PRIZES

Hardtuned.net will be giving away a bottle of Castrol oil to the following:-

"Best Paint" - nice, shiny paint that has been well looked after - Judged by Johnny JSPEC

"Best Wheels" - good fitment and suits the car well - Judged by Benny Mack

"Toughest Street Car" - explains itself - Judged by Nicko

"Overall" - includes those cars on permits - Judged by

CHARITY

Being Christmas time, we want to remember those families who are less fortunate. Again this year, we'll be accepting soft toys or gold coin donations from members who have the money or want to contribute - its not compulsory.

ALL items/money raised will be give to The Playford Salvation Army.

The Salvos will then pass on our gifts directly to families who come to the centre for food and gifts.

Those of us with Christmas hats will be handing out maps and collecting donations.

As per usual, police will be notified of the cruise. They are quite cooperative and only target those that are doing the wrong thing (speeding, spinning the wheels etc).

check the ns.com site under sa events for updates and more info cheers

i guess the more the merrier tis the season after all

anyone goin from here? pretty sure i will with a couple of mates from down my way should be free and for a good cause

I'll be there with a mate.

Coz I lost my licence he was gonna drive my car. But today he bought his own 32 so we'll be cruisin down in that!

Cant wait, should be a good cruise!

yeah i was on the last one was a wicked turnout was in a mates car last time but ill be in mine this time best thing is if you don't act like a tool you'll get left alone so its real good fun

Was coming to this as it is alwaysa good event, but can not make it anymore as i got hit in the arma cricket training last night and now can not drive for at least this weekend. :D

Turn out was great but the "cruise" was pretty short and uninteresting - out the carpark, up the freeway, into another carpark. Highlights of the cruise would be tunnels and the part where everyone was all over the place being lost. But I guess the route couldnt be helped with the rain restricting where it would be safe for a whole carpark packed full of cars to drive.

good cruise was in me mates lil red rolla, saw heslo but not the owner :)

the cruise was made that way on purpose, it was said that most ppl know other routes to the carpark so each to their own really, was good to see a few familiar faces, now time for me to get another rb under my belt :)

    • Yeah I've had too many issues with knock off's on the BMW's. I don't want to do a job twice or more because the parts are shit.
    • I read this and thought "ah! I will do this scissor jack on the tow point thing!" I just use my floor/low profile/costco jack and lift the car up by the tow hook itself, then slide jack stands under. Never thought about using scissor into floor jack combo :p
    • Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!    
    • So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat. 
    • Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞
