Hey everyone,

OK, I dont have a Skyline but im a guest over from perth falcons. An Intruder if you like :P

I've heard from a good friend that out on your cruises, you've been to the infamous truck stop off of Albany Hwy and that you have had to deal with that menacing bloke in the big ute that comes to ruin your cruise.

Its happened to me and some mates (not on a falcon cruise) twice now out of the 3 times we've been there, and frankly its pissing us off.

Does anyone know who this bloke is??? What his problem is and why??

What gives him the right to break up a car meet? Does he own the area or something?

You're talking about Farmer Joe. My friend ran up to his F250 and started a convo with him once, apparently his real name is Santa... I'll ask her what he looks like.

From what I know, he lives behind the truck stop and comes down to try and chase us off. Only works in small groups, medium groups he'll drive around and make sure you're all behaving (course we are...) and with large groups he'll hide somewhere to watch for a while before going home. He's never called the cops to my knowledge though.

This thread is no place for valid and correct informed answers....now GTFO! :P

    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
    • Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
