Awesome cruise, the 1st Member Cruise i've done with SAU

Good to put some faces to the user names

It was also good to see the little SR20, could keep up with the RBs

The speed was a bit too much for my side underbody cover :), but the rear pods survived the trip

Thanks to Wayne for organising an awesome cruise and for stoping the cruise, so i can fix up the underbody cover that came loose :)

I wanted to ask, what difference does the Cams permit do when organising a cruise?

looked like a good cruise how many cars in the end?

also is that the the R31 with the RB26 in it and R34 dash?

We had 18 cars for this 1.

And yeah its the 31 with the 34 dash. He saw us at the meet point and popped in to say hi. Then left..

Whats traction control?? :) :)

I stepped out around a corner on Saturday thanks to this boi...

And started doing it on purpose since :)

traction is nice...

but so is sideways :)

What a great day... :)

Let me start by thanking Leon (achoo) for driving lead all day.. Good job mate. :)

And AJ ( CAJFLY ) for putting together the pre east meet.. Thanks mate... :)

Just to let the people know what the day was like . Here is a short run down.

We had 18 cars kick off the morning and we headed up through King Lake through some very

nice twisty roads stopping off at Broadford for some lunch on our way to Hanging Rock. At Hanging Rock

we all climbed to the top just to say we had done it. People will say why did ya climb it ? Because it was here.

Leaving Hanging Rock we went up through Mt Macedon( the township ) on our way home stopping of at the BP at calder park to wrap the day up.

Let me finish of by thanking all that came .And im buzzed you all enjoyed it.

I hope to see you all and some new faces at the next Members cruise...Stay tuned....

Cheers

Well done Wayne for putting together another top notch cruise! The car was going great and was having an awesome time until I had to head back after our lunch stop at Broadford :) Was great to catch up/meet some new faces and thanks to all that posted up the great pics :)

Thanks Wayne yet again! I wish I didn't have to leave at lunch as well but works work...

And didn't have a camera this time but thanks everyone for all the pics.

great to see you all again cant wait for the next one!

Glad everyone had fun. I am a little pissed that my line is running a bit hot so I couldn't make it.

Yeah, it got a bit like that. My traction control got a workout in the wet bits :devil:

You need to turn that TCS rubbish off! ;)

Even better get one of the TCS bypass boxes. Nothing worse than your motor dropping 3 cylinders for nothing! :D

'sall good. At some points it was annoying but reminded me that boost + hairpin uphill in the wet + skinny tyres isn't the greatest combination.

while only a passenger ( in the 180sx typeX) it was a good cruise, an enjoyable day and always good to meet a few new people.

however, cant be a cruise without something eventful happening and I was surprised that the rear part of the wing on the silver R34 GTR actually came off. Along with the long trip and wind, we caused a little pit stop to remove apart of the under tray i think. not sure, i wasn't the one cutting it off :thumbsup:

to all the people that had trouble climbing the hill, jezz, what do you guys do all day? Some people need to go for a run once in a while haha.

ill post up some pictures later and i cant wait for the next cruise. give it 6months and ill have a car to drive, not think my parents VN cuts it :)

    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.  
    • For race cars, this is one part where I find having the roll cage bar having gone through a hole in the floor better than the build it up on a ledge inside... The Merc I help on, the main hoop ends are marked on the car, and the jack is marked... Jack goes under a few inches and lifts one whole side of the car up... Removes that fight for long slim jacks for race car duties!   My biggest issue for the daily drivers I work on, is my jacks don't go high enough. The jacks start out on a few blocks, jack it up, then start a second jack under it on more blocks, and then I can get an axle stand under it. My axle stands are presently in use, and are nearly fully extended. The car is sitting with barely more than a cm of clearance to get the wheel off the studs! Sarah's Kluger is the same, as it has an ungodly amount of droop available in the suspension and a distinct lack of good jacking points!
    • Happy? Yep, my to do list is getting shorter and shorter. Either this light approaching is the end of the tunnel, or I'm about to be hit by a train... Ha ha ha   Also, Duncan isn't that far out of town that you need to make a multi day drive out of it. 😛
