AWESOME turnout guys!!! :( Thanks to all for coming! hope everyone had fun! Can't believe that bit of road from the ferry to gosford!!! I'm sure my car got some airtime!!! :D The north sure has some great roads secreted away!!! :uh-huh:

Pity bout the coppa at maccas...very rude! but that didn't ruin the night :(

When did you leave geoff?! and eva00l!!! Didn't see you guys at maccas! :

I left when we left maccas... the cop turning up and telling us to piss off made me think there was a decent chance we'd get hassled in terrigal too, and I wasn't really up for that. Plus had to work today so I thought I'd call it a night. Said goodbye to whoever I could see, couldn't see you though!

That cop in Terrigal was very cool, no troubles what soever, actually it was pretty funny when he came up to us, because at the time, there were those typical idiots doing burnouts, and he to ask us about them, and told us what happened to them when they sped off :D

Burn outs in carpark -> fender bender -> speeding off -> busting gearbox

busting his box in front of all of us, priceless.

well guys aside from the d!k head manager of the maccas that called the cops i think it was a pretty good nite still..........

with falcadore entertainment to boot......

great job organising moanie will have to have one down sydney way soon.......

Jim! Cruise was on rain, hail or shine! you should have called one of us!!!

That fender bender was a classic!! the guy was so busy showing off he wasn't looking where he was going...OOPS!

Thanks go to Daz more than me!!! He suggested the awesome route to terrigal!! Didn't even know that place existed! i'm already looking forward to the next one through there! Or the next one that cs-180 organises :(

Hey tommy! your s2000 is HOT! good to see you got back to syd ok :(

Great cruise guys..... Nice to see so many people visiting our neck of the woods on a regular basis.....

A big shout out goes to the copper who tagged the guys in the bombadores, a special Darwin award goes to the guy who blew his gearbox......

:-D

great job Moanie in the organisation, hopefully the coastie guys will see you all in your backyard soon....

/-}

yeah, agree with everyone. GREAT NIGHT!

had the best fun i've had in a while for sure! maybe we find a way not to use the ferry though, damage to the front bar after coming off the other side, all good apart from that!!

Good to meet all the guys, many great cruises to come..........

Loved the cruise guys. I stopped with Avenge and Tommo (bluebird) when we got to the ferry crossing. I had worked all day so didn't have the energy to go on. BUT YEAH! loved seeing all the lines together. can't wait for the next one.

I thought I'd have trouble getting off the ferry but it didn't even touch! although any decent bump along the way the tyres were rubbing on the guards. grr.

    • Should be more than fine, especially the overall fuel pressure would never exceed 3.5bar (assuming that thing never gets more than 0.5bar of boost in stock form). According to the chart, it's 11amps.
    • I definitely know the first rule here, look first, ask second. I've seen many people get roasted 😂 I found a few diagrams for the RB, but I'm yet to come across one for the VQ. From what I have read, the pump gets the +12v along with the FPCM, and it's the negative wire that gets passed through the resistor to regulate the voltage. So I assume I can just ground the negative wire at the pump to eliminate the FPCM control. But I really wanted to see the VQ circuit diagram first to make sure I understood it correctly. Once the new pump is in I'll do some testing to see how it behaves, and in the meantime, I'll keep looking for a wiring diagram. Thanks for your help mate, your time is greatly appreciated.    
    • Maybe? I have the Supercheap ToolPro low thingo. It has a somewhat smaller diameter lifting "bowl" than you would expect on a workshop grade trolley jack, and a split rubber pad to suit that diameter. It clears the "N1" style skirts I have. Probably wouldn't if the jack's bowl and a suitably larger rubber block were in use. Having said that though.....you only need the rubber block to exist on the inner side of the pinchweld, so could carve away any rubber that fouled the skirt, leaving some there for "insurance" </simples>
    • I used to do that (sills with rubber jack block).. ... then I got side skirts, and there's no way for the jack to actually work there, the jack pad itself on the jack is too big. Is the answer to use a... smaller (?) jack? Hmmm.
    • I have too much trauma from every skyline I've ever seen having crushed jack points/pinch welds lol.    Yep, works 100%, it's what I use when I'm using the quick jack. Don't know why I can't also bring myself to do the same thing when I'm using a jack. I blame the skyline PTSD.
