good one sau, dont tell me if there are new replies

thanks to those that came, we've decided on a route

the one that was suggested was good but a bit long

how does this suit everyone? New Route

its got a bit of gravel (good gravel roads apparently) but we will try and work out a way around that

Yeh that looks alright, ive been on most of those roads are they are good, only turnoff for ppl might be the gravel and wrecking their paintjob but if we can find a way around it i think we'd get more ppl. :) good plan though!

have you added up the differences? it's all of 15km different

:banana:

not quite sure what you mean there

15km total length difference or in terms of length of gravel?

apparently the gravel on the route is pretty good quality, will just have to tell everyone to leave lots of room

i could have sworn that the first route was 300km

oh well, those that came to the meet up friday night expressed that the first road had some boring sections in it that weren't that good

there was also some gravel/dirt on the first route too

but realistically, how many ppl are bringing their show car along? gravel is fine to drive along as long as you dont go behind a boostcruiser lol

very good point, but some people dont like the fact either way.

me not being one of those!!

hmmmm, i thought this would be a problem for some ppl.......

its just a bit of gravel

and we're gonna work out if there is a way around it

Hey i'm new to all this and i'm interested in coming along on this cruise. What do i need to do to be able to come along?

all you need is a full tank of fuel, good attitude, don't talk like a douche and bring a walkie talkie if you have one

we'll stop for lunch in deloraine too so bring money for food

what about this? Click!

i drove as far as lilydale today and its a good road through the back near Bangor

and it brings us back through the sideling

we could meet up 9ish

chill and chat for an hour

leave at 10am

get to Scottsdale for lunch/photos

Back in town early arvo

I would recommend the first idea going from bridgnorth rd to westbury then around the back of deloraine to sheffield elizabeth town and the like.

The last two are also good runs but seriously the first map around deloraine sheffield area is good, no gravel and hardly any boring bits at all. Thats the one i'd be interested in doing if thats the final pick.

Come to a decision guys. We shouldn't leave it anymore than month or so till the next cruise after that anyway and we can try somewhere else like relbia, evandale, white hills, perth, longford, cressy. There all good tight twisting fun roads.

    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
