Hey Everyone,

I cannot believe GTCC turns 10 years old in March. Anyway we have always had an annual cruise so here it is again.

Said this time and time again, no reckless driving will be tolerated and please make sure your car is roadworthy.

Thanks

Brandon

Most likely means something that is not a death trap. :thumbsup:

The GTCC are much like SAU-Vic - respectable people, that behave and put safety first, ie not bringing a car that is dangerous to all round (poor tyres, brakes, loose body kit/parts etc).

I don't see a boost controller being a problem

Feel free to correct me should i be wrong Brandon :P

Good to see GTCC is 10yrs, i didn't even realise! I would have said about 7-8yrs hehe.

Yah you said it Ash, I can't believe 10 years already either, the first year it was mainly only friends only but we still did the Annual Cruise :P

By roadworthy vehicle I agree No Death Traps but also keep in mind that at any time police may check your vehicle. But in the 9 years, from memory we have only been checked once which was in Apollo Bay. The rest of the time the police stop to say hi and admire the cars and take some snaps with us.

Sam wrote a guide to Cruise Etiquette which is pretty good for anyone interested.

theres an SAUvic cruise on the same day i believe (it in our calendar) dunno which one to go to

I didnt know that. You have to support your club so you should go to SAUVic's cruise. :thumbsup:

Are they going to GOR too?

Hey Brandon, good to see GTCC is still around :thumbsup: Sounds like a great cruise.

Yes mate still around but we have been pretty quiet as of late. I honestly haven't had the time to organise anything.

Hey beefy I'm sure your off the evo oz forums seeing as the guys there go every year too. Was always meant to go down with my evo 7 but never had the chance to.

Yes I do particpate on Evo Oz Forums when time permits as they are a great bunch too. So you have a VSpec NUR now ? .. very nice. If you are free come for a drive.

yeah nah, lazy buggers haven't decided/released details yet, plus have a dyno day on the sat. our GOR is in april. Therefore i might rock up to your cruise

Yea i figured it was you from there. The GTR is on a whole new level compared to my evo but still drive it as more of my daily. Im pretty sure i will come to this!

Nathan: You know I am looking at returning back to a GT-R myself. Love the Evo but whenever I see a GT-R, I wish I was driving mine again. Have you seen Matt Tangs NUR aka TangoMatt, that car is awesome.

    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
    • OK, now we are ready to get started. You need to remove the air boxes on each side for clearance. The cover is straightforward, undo the clips on the top and lift the front cover out of the rest of the housing. If it is tight you can remove the air filters first. The rear section of the airbox is trickier. On each side you need to remove the Air flow meter wiring which is held to the airbox with a clip; you need to get behind the clip on 2 sides if you want to remove it without breaking it - unclip the harder side and pull on the clip with medium force, then unclip the easier side and it should pop out The airbox is held onto the intake hose with a spring clamp; you need to get a flat bladed screwdriver behind the spring on both sides and pop them outwards. When you have got them in the right unclipped place they will stay there and the airbox slips out pretty freely. Put a rag in the intake to prevent anything getting dropped in there, and also to prevent you seeing that the turbo seal is leaking oil (as they do). Then. The top of the radiator is held by a steel plate, it is secured by 2x10mm and 2x12mm headed bolts . Remove them and remove the plate Also grab the bushings that hold the radiator to the plate on each side so they are not lost!
    • Next, remove the upper and lower radiator hoses, both are held with a spring clamp. While you are under there, tackle the Auto Trans cooler lines.  Again both are held on with spring clamps, and as mentioned above you should cap them on the radiator side with an 8mm cap, and on the car side loop them with a length of 8mm pipe - this will stop you losing a dangerous amount of AT fluid during the rest of the job If you've been meaning to add a sender for AT trans temp, this is a great time to do it; put a sender fitting into the passenger side line as that is the inlet to the cooler/radiator.
    • Next you need to remove the intake duct (as with pretty much every job on these cars), it is a series of clips you gently remove with a flat bladed screwdriver. They do get brittle with time and can break, and I have not found a decent quality aftermarket one that fits (they are all too soft or flimsy and don't last either) but the nissan ones are a couple of bucks each (ouch).  Once the clips are off (either 8 or 10, I didn't check) you lift the intake duct out and will see the reservoirs Undo the line into the radiator side cap (some bent needle nosed piers are awesome for spring clamps) and then remove the 4x 10m nuts that hold both in place.  I didn't get these pics, but remove the line under the radiator reservoir (spring clamp again) then remove that reservoir. Then you can get at the intake reservoir, same thing, spring clamp underneath then remove it. BTW This is a great time to put in a larger (+70%) combined reservoir that AMS makes..... https://www.amsperformance.com/product/q50-q60-red-alpha-coolant-expansion-tank/ They also make an Infiniti branded and part# version if that is your thing
