well this natural arch sounds good, ive never been there..

if i was you guys id pick a meet from the below points mapped via where is.

southport. natural bridge, murwillumbah nsw, tweed heads, and end up somewhere like the spit or somewhere we can catch up and chat.

Itsa good run down the back of the mount most people dont normally calculate.

just my 2c's

yeahh that sounds good coaster, sorry about not gettin back to u about today i had a busy ass day. plus my car isnt really going well with the f**ked auto. doing the manual conversion next week!! woo loll. yeah your 2c sounds pretty good aye. i would be happy with that. just gota know if everyone else is happy with that.

Yea sounds like a good run to me! i wen out to the natural arch yesterday and its an awesome drive and the roads are pretty good. anyone decided on a date yet? lol i just hope i havnt sold my car before this happens!

im thinking in a couple weeks. if u want a set date i would say either the 17th of may or 24th of may. which one would suit better for everyone? i ll have my conversion easily done by then so i should be sweet with any of them.

either or should be ok for me. i dont work sundays but my partner is on some stupid roster at work (retail) where for 1 month she gets sun and mon off, and then the next month she has sat and mon off. when exact dates are confirmed ill be able to suss out for sure if ill be there or not. when she is working on sundays i have my little girl at home with me so its not as easy to go for all day cruises :)

Im new to the coast so i would be keen to go for a cruise and meet people, ill only be in a N/A, not the flashest car :D .

I dont know the roads up here really, what are you guys looking at, something with lots of corners, or open straights, im from down in country NSW so am missing all the corners.

Harley.

Hey guys, ive been dying to go on a decent cruise ever since i got my line so im definatley up for it. aslong as im not gonna bottom out all the time then i dont care where ay. Plus im currently unemployed so the sooner the better for me :P

sounds good guys. my manual conversion is underway and be done by this wekened so i should be sweet after this weekend at the latest.

gettin alot of interest on this cruise. should be good.

so ive been thinkin we start it at mobile nerang Youngen (GtrVspec)?

  • 2 weeks later...

sounds good streetfame33

and not soo good Damit that sucks mate

about the cruise, im trying to get my car figured out at the moment lol, its not running at its best at all. if anyones done a auto to manual conversion on the R33's help would be much appriciated. just having problems with power.

but yeh anyways im thinking to be safe would 31st of may be any good to anyone? sorry to put it off but least then we can get the actual numbers and plan where this cruise starts and finishes. so if your keen for that date please say you are.

cruise will start off at Nerang mobile (which is next to Nerang Fair) and we will go up to natural arch and have a bbq lunch and then head back down to the coast for another meeting place before people either want to go home or come to the spit. if there is anyone who is a decent photographer feel free to bring a camera, be good for photos to go up on the site.

cheers

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.

    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
