Sorry peoples, we've had to cancel this cruise...

Newcastle is gonna be chaos, there's a festival on, school holidays, possible rain, and a few other factors working against us. Instead, we urge you to attend the Putty Road cruise put on by SAU-NSW. Details can be found here:

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Pu...09-t286278.html

after the awesome weekend just gone and after the good turn out @ the stag meet in syd earlier this year i rekon its time for a cruise in newcastle, me and wifey often drive around looking for photo spots, we rekon weve found some awesome places,

theres plenty of room on the foreshore for us to park/have a bbq/play some football or whatever, then head off for some photos maybe(got some awesome photographers among us on here) would be awesome for the skylines to join as well as there are tons of skylines around here, if the weathers good then im sure it would be a brilliant day for all,

post up what dates are good for everyone then we can all settle a time/place/date later,

hope the rest of you guys and girls think this is a good idea like i do

mods feel free to copy this into the nsw forum for the skyline boys/girls, if the stag boys/girls dont mine them coming lol,

thanks guys

Edit by Mod:

Date: Saturday, 10th of October, 2009

Time: 11-11.30am meet-up at Newcastle.

Destination: Horseshoe Beach carpark, near the intersection of Nobbys Road and Shortland Esplanade (GoogleMaps Link).

A wet-weather back-up is the sheds on The Foreshore along Wharf Road (GoogleMaps Link)

Cruise Meeting Point for Sydney Attendees: The Berowra Truck Stop, Pacific Highway, Berowra (just North of Berowra railway station - GoogleMaps Link)

Departure time for Sydney crew: Meet at 8.30-8.45am for a 9.15am SHARP departure.

This is mainly a Stagea cruise, but others are more than welcome to join us too. However, it is a cruise, and I stress that NO RACING OR IDIOTIC, ANTI-SOCIAL BEHAVIOUR will be tolerated while we're on the streets, at the meeting points, or anywhere in between. As a representative (and especially as Vice-President) of SAU-NSW, I do not want the good reputation of our forums and the club to be ruined by a few idiots who can't control themselves!

This is the latest list of people attending (updated 5/10/2009):

I'm keen - haven't been up to Newcastle for a while, this will be a good chance!

I've got a busy couple of months ahead, helping organise SAU-NSW events, but will see what the consensus is on when people prefer to do this, and I'll make a huge effort to squeeze this in!

I'll start the ball rolling with dates :P

Ideal weekends for us (fat-lad & I) in the next month or so are:

12th/13th September

26th/27th September

10th/11th October

any of those dates should be fine for me

Sounds good, I'll keep my eyes on the thread.

If we do it on a Saturday we should book out Formula 1 at Wallsend and get out for a few bevies Saturday night and drive home Sunday sometime.

:P

:D

If a few people are keen you can stay right in newcastle either at the ibis which works out close to the F1 $$$ wise or if you can hack the hostel thing there is a good YHA right on newcastle beach. If your lucky enough you might be able to score a room with a hot Swedish backpacker girl.

Just an option because Wallsend is like the Penrith of Newcastle. No offence to anyone from the rif.

Also those dates are good for me. The sooner someone makes a call the better.

my prob is if it's in Sept my race schedule takes precedence.....sorry have to go scare myself at least once to twice a month

    • Power steering is probably because someone has nuked the HICAS CU and you no longer have the variable power asist doing what it is supposed to. How much boost are you running? You are aware that any more than 10 psi on the stock ECU is just asking for it to go to full R&R (that's Rich & Retard, which is effectively Retarded and Retarded!) which kills all the power. Depending on the exact conditions, it can just be runnign on the fat and stupid end of the maps, then the conditions change, you make a little more boost and the ECU goes into panic.
    • @BuiltNotBought Just as GTSboy said.   If you want driveabilty and more low down torque..keep the stock runners. They are VERY good from a factory. I have them too on my RB25DET NEO and as a GTSboy i have fmic but with stock piping route(i have Blitz intercooler) Iam making around 320 BHP and the car pulls "hard" from like 2,5k all the way to 7k. I have it dyno tuned to mimic N/A power curve and making little less max torque due to the smallbox tranny. But driveability is very great. I had 350Nm below 3k so car feels very quick.
    • Looking to sort out a couple of issues on my skyline  It recently was rebuilt, however rebuilder long story short did not give two flying effs about the work he did. So moving forward it's running but I have two persistent issues 1) it has a misfire / lag type of issue (was at higher RPMs but I had a dead piggy back ecu removed which improved it) now it's not as bad but still does it at random, I thought it may have been a boost issue I'm running an older turbosmart dual stage controller, turbosmart told me to try running off gate pressure however it still has a lag at random times. It has New MAF, maf plug, coil packs, sparks, CP harness.. injectors tested and cleaned. Factory ECU. 2) Power steering issue. It is tight as anything. Flushed power steering, rebuilt my pump because the bearing was shot. Flushed again still tight (mainly when parking and going slow into my driveway etc)  No kinks in hard lines, replaced the lines I could see had cracks. Still tough to steer.  I was told to shim a coin and place into the solenoid plug? Is there anything else. My steering angle sensor also has a issue. It's a used one I replaced, does it need to be calibrated? I feel like I've tried everything and this car is my voodoo doll.   
    • Holy shit... wow!!! I totally missed this
    • One main filter. Each tank has a prefilter to keep rocks and small children out, then the big main filter that also does water separation. Clogged the first one so bad it was like a rev limiter at 3200rpm. Literally just like dropping the throttle off and maintaining rpm!
