Hi guys and girls

I'm flying up to Brisbane on Wed and staying for a few days in an apartment near the city (Melbourne st -westend I think) and thought it would be a chance to put faces to some of the names I regularly see here on the forums.

Looks like there is no organised cruise this weekend but I was wondering if you (or other imports) meet informally at any local spots (that are easy for rubber necked visitors to find)

I don’t know if I will have Internet access at the apartments, (so it may not be worth replying later in the week - I'll logon if I can though), but I just thought it would be good to see what goes on in the land of the banana benders.

Harry's Diner (northside) is supposed to be very good, not exactly sure which nights.

Macca's carpark Milton is good Friday nights.

Broadwater carpark (gold coast) on Saturday nights - after 10pm :D

Or alternatively, go to Roma Street on a Thursday night and sit there and wait for the many cars/groups to come in and leave. I personally won't be out on thursday night and probably not till late on saturday night (family engagements) if at all. Otherwise I would have tried to organise a cruise :|

Thanks for the quick responces.

Looks like i'll have to visit milton maccs on Thursday night.

What time do things kick off? no use getting there 2 early coz I'll only end up eating too much (can a stomach be considered excess luggage when flying?) I'd rather go home with a few new bits for the car.

predator you have no excuse, i was late for a cruise once i put my dash back in in a bp carpark while i was waitin for people to show up.

well... it might take slightly more time to get this back together :P

but its still driveable - i just have to whack that support bar back in. Speedo, etc is gonna have to sit there resting behind the steering wheel. Ghetto mods at its best.. hehe

    • There are black hose clamps as well if you care. Plazmaman for example sells some: https://plazmaman.com/product/black-hose-clamps-premium-quality-stainless-breeze/
    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
