After reading the Knox TMU thread, there was a silly suggestion to start an Ex-MCCR members thread, so here it is.

So hands up you lot who were an active 'cruiser'.

and yes, I was one......6 years ago. :D

Ah all things MCCR...

James and the CRX i think it was? And there was a Mark involved among others... Long time ago now all that stuff.

Gotta thank MCCR though, out of that another group formed, then another and now i've some of my best mates from it all :D

Not that i ever attended MCCR events, although i know a countless amount of people that did.

Back in 2002/2003 they already had a rather "well known" name... but MCCR dates back to the 1990's.

Especially the "underground" cruises that - whilst meant to be "secret" - i dont think there was anyone in the car scene that didn't know about them? lol ;)

I'm surprised the forums/site is still hosted. Not that anything useful goes on there now, just spam-bots.

yeah i used to attend MCCR events from late 2000 - 2004 :P Was kinda cool getting a last minute sms invite with details about a secret meet up.

Lots of fun times, massive cruises, meets with 300+ cars at Lonely Planet cruising across Melbourne to the car park opposite Bell st Maccas :D Yarra blvd., hills runs up mt dandenong Sky High, special secret "HiPo" ;) invite only cruises only for "fast cars". (You got a special HiPo sticker if you were in the HiPo club). MCCR always had cruises mapped out, and CB's for chatting on the cruise which was funny as the stuff we used to say. Then there were the 'underground' drag meets.. later referred to as "gardening" on the forums. hahah good times :laugh:

hehe, I knew about MCCR but never joined. I was part of Ozcruise while that was still going, same sort of thing but smaller. The name is escaping me but who was the huge cruise club that used to take off from Doncaster Autobarn?

Checking in ;)

Must have been a good 8 years ago (age 15) that I joined up with em. I was a low key member there though...didn't really go to many cruises, except for the Ringwood Autobarn discount days. Went to high school with SIKCVC if anyone remembers him. All the usernames are coming back to me :D

CCC was one.

Commodore Cruise Club.

I went to a few of those meets a long time ago... so many muppets, was funny stuff though.

And then Beastclub came about a couple years later :D

I remember OzCruise.. went on a couple of their meets/cruises around 2004 as MCCR was starting to die out. They used to meet up at MYOB carpark off Burwood Hwy.. some of their cruises ending up down in Narre Warren at JB Hifi. This was all before krispy kremes was around lol

Let's not forget boostcruising.com too :D

I went to a CCC cruise and it was great. It was a very, very big one though. Never seen so many Commodores together in one spot. They were pouring out onto the street the big carpark was that full. Everyone was revving the shit out of their engines and cranking their systems though. Could hardly hear each other over it. Then one of our friends rocked up in his VT SS (308) which had been modified for a naturally aspirated 400kw with a straight out exhaust and sounded like a V8 supercar...every single person in that car park stopped talking haha.

Started cruising in around 2000 with meet ups at brandon park heading down towards the peninsula was very early on on MCCR days from memory. Attennded my fair share of hipo's, drags, cruses and super cruises.

Anyone remember Truno? Random dude.

yeah i remember the Brandon Park meets... the first one i went to was there. The cruises down to Frankston were funny.. 30+ rocking up to Frankston maccas at once. We used to also end up at Doncaster pancake parlour after some of the cruises.

Mark (Trueno) is up in Queensland last I heard.. Remember Simon's 20B rx7? the yellow one with plates ROLIN7. That was a tuff car.

CCC was one.

I just remembered. It was 'Hi-Octane'. I went to a few of those CCC and Beastclub cruises (normally only for the meetup.) The Pulsar used to look a little out of place :(

haha yeah. Also used to meet-up at Bayswater Bunnings. The big Ozcruise cruise in 2005/2006 (struggling to remember) that left from The Stamford had about 250-300 cars and we invited the police along. Pettet was there, we got photos with him and his patrol car. They drove with us the whole time and not a single modified car was given any hassle. Those were the days.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
