Thanks to all who came, hope you all enjoyed. Hopefully the pace was all up to everyones standards and the maps were up to scratch. :(

The pace was perfect....didn't read the map found it easier to follow everyone else but the map was very helpful when i found out where we were up to.

Good stuff, usually do that route a LOT faster so I wasn't sure if the pace was too slow/fast. Glad to see you enjoyed yourself :)

Oh and it was definitely an awesome sight looking back and seeing 20ish odd Skylines following in procession :(

Great cruise, well done SAUSA. Next time I will have my car - because Im about to go out to the shed and put it back together!

Thanks to JMW for lending me his passenger seat for the cruise, and thanks to Aberax for lending me parts to get my car going again :(

looks like it was an awesome morning, would love to have been there, but had the mrs bday last night so wasnt really in the state to drive this morning... oh and the fact i did my ankle at footy yesterday makes driving a little hard.... will deff come to the next one

Bah - i really need to get over my social phobia (i dont deal with new people too well..) and get out to meet all you SAU:SA people some time ...

Yes ... yes you should :(

Good, well set up cruise today, well done to all that organised it. Also thanks to Abe for sparing his passenger seat for me. :(

No problem, hopefully you didnt get too scared :D, and hopefully you didn't give me your cold. Shame you couldn't stay for breakfast, was fantastic.

No problem Dion, they were just sitting around doing nothing.

For some strange reason, I noticed after the cruise the rear of my car is making a weird rubbing noise, I think the rear brake discs are warped or rubbing on something, as it got worse as I drove home :S...but at least my brake squeal is somewhat gone.

Route was good, would like to do it again, but with more sleep before hand.

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
