You were trying to have a look at my Beemer? Lol, it's just a standard 323Ci with no badges!

I was behind a blue VZ SS commodore in the hills on mundaring weir road and he was going so slow. I mean i was sitting on about 80 through the corners and my car was sticking, but the guy in the SS didnt want to go any faster. Oh wells.....

Haha, mainly I wanted to drive behind somebody who knew how to drive in the hills. I could see you trying to get him to speed up though, and the girl in front of me had a seriously long gap behind you.

Was your car ok? Behind you at some lights I got a huge load of exhaust smoke and a reek of clutch, probably from the 350z antilag dude though.

Haven't cruised in ages, so this was a pretty good comeback for me Martin, cheers.

Not to pull my own chain or anything, but i know i can drive in the hills :( Had lots of experience doing late night runs through there, but shh don't tell anyone!

Yeah my car was good. It was just sticking to the roads and didnt come unstuck at all even with the traction control off. Although it does have an open diff....

I kind of dropped the *cough* clutch *cough* at some lights and rear left span so it was probably that lol....

Jason, the stop at Dogswamp wasn't long? Wtf? lol People kept rushing into HJ's to go to the toilet and we were only there for 15 mins.

Midland, yeah fair game, long stop but that's because I stuffed up a street on the map so we waited a little longer because I was getting phone calls from people who were lost.

As for the idiot drivers, some d*ckhead posted the cruise on Antilag so we ended up with some tools cruising with us.

I vote for anyone else who bagged out the cruise to write up their own cruises, since you all know so well how a cruise should be run, yet I don't ever remember seeing any of you host a cruise? One wrong turn, one accident, 8.30 meet, 9pm leave, 1.30am finish. We did bloody good. So go on, go get your navmans, pens and paper and then maybe we'll take your critisism into consideration :( just a thought hey seeing as the things people are complaining about are pretty minor issues

can't wait to see pics Brett!!!

Mel, i don't have time to write up my own cruise and run it etc, therefore i go on other people's cruises. Now, I'm taking saying your cruise was shit, not by any means. It was good fun, don't get me wrong, but it was more some of the dickheads that were on the cruise who have no idea how to drive at speed.

Now, i'm not saying that people should be speeding or engaging in behanviour which may result in severe consequences (you all know what i mean), however, some of the people that were engaging in this behaviour had no farking idea how to minimise the risk of causing an accident or even worse, serious injury or death.

Nick's R32 being rear-ended is a prime example of this happening. I am going on what i have heard from other people since i did not see this happen.

But anyway, the cruise was ok, had it's bad points and good points, but that's enough ranting from me.

The Midland stop was good because it meant I got time to get there from working late =D

What happened along Great Eastern Hwy with everybody leaving? I stopped to get petrol and chill out and ended up being the second car at city west lol.

Mmmm, the thing about driving at speed I find is how quickly you can then not be driving at speed. I pulled aside to let a newbie follow me down the zigzag, since I live around the corner, and still got very nervous about that last corner with nearly being rear ended. No offence if you're reading this man, but just beware that out past the foothills the sides of the roads are pretty much gravel, and you will never ever ever stop if you brake on that stuff =]

It is possible to drift on the zig zags have been in the car when its been done. :)

You'll burn in hell Girl! :(

I bet once you stop stalling your car it's pretty easy hey joe? :)

I got some drift pineapples in now and all is good. ;)

Event has been run,

if you have issues with the event take it to PM.

Please do not post about "others" and the speeds they may

or may not of been travelling at, regardless of what club.

Keep on topic or will close.

Cheers

Mike

Sorry, but i wasn't posting about what speeds others were doing etc, i was simply making very generalised statements about speed. I only stated my speed at one point in 1 of my posts.

Anyhow, the cruise was fun putting aside the negative points :)

Jason, I wasn't referring to you in particular hun, I just meant to everyone who was like "oh so many mistakes". organising a cruise can be difficult if you don't have much time on your hands, props to Martin for being so determined and putting in the effort, props to me for helping :)

that is all, I just can't wait to see piiiicccccsssss

Guys...I dont know why Im going to carry this on, because I'll probably get flamed by people soo stupid they dont know theyre being proven wrong, BUT here goes.

Doing a singler pegger skid to do a 180 degree turn slightly quicker, is NOT a drift.

The roads are barely wider than a typical car, and the end of the soo called "hairpins" arent much bigger than an average RWD turning circle.

By drift, I meant DRIFT, continuously holding the vehicle sideways, keeping it under control and not necessarily in a corner....not just flogging the stock LSD in ever slight bend.

Cool? can we agree that no matter how cool you think you are, you haven't drifted the Zig Zag ? :)

Too bad if you don't, I know I'm right :)

PS: Pics or ban!!

(applies to the cruise itself, and said drifting on Zig Zag (vids would be better))

BTW, Drunk dude, your a bloody idiot. (Thats what the ad says for drunk people aint it) There was quite a few people upset by you and your actions. Bring a spare brain when you come next time.

mel for what it is worth and as far as i got it was a good cruzz the rest of the map looked like it would of been sweet to do i still have to get some quotes on getting my 32 fixed im afraid to say it looks like it may be more damage than i fist seen

ill see how it goes ill see you after i get it fix BUT on a skyline only cruzz

Nick, I'm so sorry for what he did to your car :) so devastated, don't let it turn you off cruises, I mean there's always WCC cruises, but yeah I can understand how you feel.

What other damage have you seen? If it's any constelation, he has to pay $2k for his xs and he cant' afford to even leave the house for christmas and NYE let alone buy anyone presents :) so at least karma got him in one way!!

    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
