Hi Terry

Regarding this separate groups 1, 2, 3, .. when it comes to the cruise, some of the guys I intended to have come with us are not too happy about this arrangement because not all are in skylines nevermind R32s so their argument is " why should we come out with you when we are not going to cruise or see you all day long" and I see their point, most are coming just to see my car and be able to cruise with me for part of the day at least if not more.

So if things remain as they are we might not see all the cars come out due to the fact of friends being separated on a same cruise. What are your thoughts on the matter?

Regards

^^^ I understand what you and your friends are saying, and I empathise with you.

If you wish to cruise with your friends' cars, you can certainly do that; but it would be preferable if you and they drop back into Group 3 or 4. That means that your friends can be alongside you as you'd been hoping.

Why? Because we have 4 sets of shooters and videographers operating at three sets of locations.

1) Performance Imports Magazine photographer

2) MOTIVE DVD team

3) Official Skylines Australia videographer

4) Official Skylines Australia photographers x3

The three sets of locations are...

1) Tench Reserve, Tench Ave Penrith

2) En route up to Mt Victoria

3) Edge Cinema Top Carpark

If you decide to drop back, your car may (but not necessarily) miss out on being photographed or video'd (if you don't mind that). Should you decide to stick with Group 1, your friends can certainly mix with you at the start + destination + cinema. I do hope they come and enjoy themselves !!!

The shooters will want footage of the R32s all together; interstate ones and all.

Aleck, many thanks; and your tickets will be sent to you tomorrow :D

Only two weeks until we kick off! :laugh:

Here are a couple of pics of what we're giving away as Major prize number 2 - a 1/18 scale die-cast model of the 1993 BP TRAMPIO R32 GT-R Group A race car, by AutoArt. Limited edition, one of 3,000 units and comes with a numbered certificate.

All the major prizes will also be accompanied by an engraved plaque to commemorate the occasion.

As we're celebrating the R32 GT-R, these awesome prizes will be targeted to R32s on the day - so particularly if you're bringing a 32, make sure she's waxed and looking beautiful on the day! :D

:ermm: that's so hot!!!!!! lol

good pre-run today guys.. glad most of the stuff is sorted (i got to drive on the way back hehe i miss the r34!)

it's going to be an epic event :down:

Edited by OHY34H

Hektik ^^^ ??? I couldn't get out of 4th lol

You must be damn mad at those 'professional' suspension people who left you with loose wheel nuts man!!! Especially thru' those twists and turns up the Bells Line of Road!!!

Lucky: Matt was looking after you; and was probably the only one who had a torque wrench and a thin long socket that fitted into that space around your wheel nuts.

Lucky: Eric was still around; and was probably the only one who had heavy duty cables to help me restart my 'Line after I left my parkers on - feeling stupid.

We Organisers are so happy that you Kory, Matt, Nick and Eric could get to work on how SAU can and will offer a highly professional photoshoot on the day at The Edge Cinema at Katoomba. We want everyone to remember Kory Leung Photography + Matt's work + Nick's work + Eric's work (not to mention PI's work + Motive DVD's work) after such a big day out!

Attendees:- A new thread will be made on this matter by Eric - Pezhead. This will surely reveal how your car can look its best under camera lights and stationed in its cosy nook at Edge Cinema. :yes:

small vid of some of the cars that were there today :) - thanks sean

Thanks Shehan for taking care of The Drivers' Briefing prior to the Cruise.

And thanks Sean,

You'll be a great addition to our team of Organisers

You too, Nick!

* I'll adjust the Original Thread (OT) soon, but we Organisers are wanting all R32s (ie Group #1 cars) to arrive at Tench Ave before or on 8.30 am on 10th October > This gives you prime spots for photography purposes. Some cars will be arriving at 7am.

* It also helps us to take up prime positions on the day before most of the public arrive. You can get plenty of food at The Coffee Club from 7am onwards - we've reserved the northern balcony area for you guys - just ask the Owner/Mngr "Aaron". He's expecting us from 7am.

* More about food, if you don't want to sit down at tables for brekky, you can order takeaways at the point of sale, situated at the northern balcony.

* Eric - Pezhead will post up an overhead shot real soon as to where you should gather - but it's along that straight stretch of parking along Tench Reserve before you get to the Coffee Club.

Only :yes: x13 to go!

Haha thanks Terry. It was a good day and yes, i tried to find Matt but theres so many users on here i got no idea what his username is. If your reading, again, would like to say thanks for hanging back and many many thanks for actually turning around and coming back!

Did not even see your car had its parkers on! I hope you enjoyed the pies and drink whilst your 34 got depressed and flat lined :yes:

Looking forward to the event, it's definitely shaping up to be a big one!

I had a nice run too. Everyone who is coming is going to love the cruise route, it's such an awesome drive. A good, fun road with scenery people would travel to see. Sydney siders who haven't been out that way are missing out!

The shoot location is awesome too, what a find!

p.s. I wasn't in to much trouble from the lady :yes:

i just realised how early i have to get up for this. :P i wont complain too much though cause i know there is people coming from interstate but anyway. can not wait. will be a good chance to start using my new SLR camera too.

Okay and now we have a couple of pics of our 3rd Major prize that will be given away on October the 10th to a lucky R32 owner - a 1/18 die-cast model of the CALSONIC R32 GT-R Group A race car, this one by Kyosho and also a limited edition.

Like all the major prizes this one will come with an engraved plaque to commemorate the occasion.

    • Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks
    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
