Hills Cruise on Sat 14th Sept


Recommended Posts

Well it seems as if there is some interest, so here is my proposal.

If the weather turns bad we will postpone till another day.

Meet at Pelican Plaza(cnr Golden Grove Rd & North East Rd where

Hungry Jacks is) at 1:00 to 1:30pm. Leave at 2:00pm approx.

Cruise up North East Rd through Chain of Ponds then veer left to

Kersbrook.Head to Williamstown(good bakery there) then right to

Birdwood.Stop on the main rd at Birdwood to stretch legs & bunch

up, then continue up to Tungkillo turnoff.Turn right & fang up through the Gum trees then turn right before Tungkillo & head up to Mt. Torrens,Woodside,Nairne, then on to the Freeway at Mt. Barker. Hoon back to town(all at legal speeds of course)& stop at

the Mt. Lofty summit car park for coffees, photos etc.

This is only a rough proposal, so please comment if it's too long or whatever. the biggest problem with group cruises is that the second half get left behind, so I would like to organise several pullover points where the tailenders pass the leaders and take the front.This way everyone can see everyone elses cars & we can stay together.But - if you like cruising at 60kays all day with your arm hanging out the window, this is not the cruise for you.

If it looks like a goer, I will organise proper directions printed up.

Suggestions? Of course any model car is welcome.

:burnout:

Yeah I know, It would be easier to do it earlier in the day.

Sometimes there is a lot more traffic around before lunchtime though.After lunch it seems to clear up a bit.

Suppose we could do shifts - a morning cruise for the early birds,

then the same lap( for those that like to sleep in) in the afternoon. Joking - ha ha.

Could ask the cops to close the whole area off for us for the day!

Hmmm, one way to Birdwood - that would be fun.Wishful thinking!

:)

I`m going to try and get a leave pass from Mrs Bugalugs for this one as Bugalugs Jr should be here by then(any time now).

John-I think Pelican plaza car park may be a bit small/packed with ppl at that time of day(not sure dont live up that way).Maybe kmart ingle farm in the corner near auto centre.The rest sounds good for everyone as there is alot of straight line stuff for the ppl that dont like corners(whatsisname:shake: ) aswell as the mighty Chain of Ponds Rd for me:D

Matt

I cant see why it has to be only Skylines.

This is only a casual cruise for whoever wants to come.

I agree that there will be more room at Kmart Ingle farm -

good call Matt. Hope you can come out for the day.

Congratulations on the pending new arrival!Hope all goes well.

Regards,

Munro.

PS. Who's going on this Victor cruise tomorrow?

Hi Munro,

Nice GTR you got! I was the guy driving my son's overcast blue Silvia SR20DET, and left the R33 4door home due to son's friend not come on the Victor cruise.

The black M3 Beemer driver is a bit of a worry!!!:eek:

I'm coming in my white R33 4door this Saturday cruise to give it a run to see how good it is with more boost done by TILBROOK, and is it definitely Pelican Plaza carpark or is it changed to Ingle Farm???

Seeya there

Graham:D

Hi everyone,

Confirm - meeting at 1.00pm Sat 14th at Ingle Farm Shopping center near Kmart Auto centre on Montague Rd.

I don't know how many are coming yet but I can print directions if

we need them. The LS1 guys were going to cruise on Sunday so

why dont we invite them to this cruise.

I will have to thoughly clean the R34 'cause it got filthy last Sunday going to Victor Harbour. Those boys know how to cruise!!

:flower:

PS. Can someone bring a digital camera?

I will almost certainly be there /unless the wife cracks the ****s *again*

If so, I will most certainly have my digi camera that burns straight onto 200Mb mini-CDRW disks .... it holds a LOT of photos! :rolleyes:

And it takes 15 second videos for deep conversations .... and burnouts *coff* :)

Hope we are gonna have a good turnout .... looks like the weather will be awesome (if not a tad hot) .... fyi I will be taking it VERY easy since my run-in with the fuzz :( .... so John and Robert don't try to razz me and get me to race :D *soooooo hard to do :) *

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow 
    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
