NS2500: Thanks for the offer, at the start of the thread, but have managed to find a lift with another SAU member. Nothing like cruising in a Skyline :D. Hope to see ya there, you wont be too hard to spot in the fairmont :D.

I too will be taking my UHF radio.

What time are you guys going to be leaving Apollo Bay?? I have to work until 13:00pm on Saturday so I might make my way down and join up with you guys somewhere.

Is there any planned stop offs on your way home?

There are no 'planned' meet points back from the GOR as such.

being a long day most people i think will just need to stop for fuel.

but we probably wont leave Apollo Bay till 3-4pm. That's my guess anyhow.

Once we eat, chat/photo etc etc.

We are not coming home Via the GOR for the most part.

We are taking a few back roads.

PM me for more details as its something i wanna keep off the forums until the day for a number of reasons.

Being from Geelong you should know the route.

cheers

ash

You big bunch of radio nerds!!!!

Well if that's the case i may pinch the display uhf from work just for the weekend!

Rob, bullshit man, you have to come along, at this stage i have my missus my boy and a family friend coming along, you need to run shot gun, good luck fitting in the back of any car! so what's the deal? do you have commitments or do you want to come???

Justin, Mega Mart is on the right coming from moorabbin after the monash freeway underpass.

Greg, we will drop you off in the tunnel and do laps for photos and to get our moneys worth out of the citylink day pass!!!! bwahahahah

dry weather is good for slicks!!

Al are you going to provide name tags for this cruise?? are you still embarrased for realising you had them in the work van after the elwood cruise?? :D:D:D Bwahahahaha

oh and i love a good :D :D :(:):rant: excellent smiley that!

hey r31nismoid...stupid question!!...the mobil that evryone is meeting at on the ring road... is that the same one you all meet at last time...near subway...thanks

I dunno about subway, but it's the Mobil with the Macca's in the same thing.

It's not far from the Fitzgerald Rd exit city bound of course

yeah it's just a maccas... it's a big truck stop too... it's between the fitzgerald rd exit and the boundary rd exit going city bound...

CNBLOW: NO. You are thinking of the Shell servo on the Princess Hwy. The Westies meeting point is at the Mobile servo on the Western Ring Road heading towards the city. Once everyone is there, we will take the Princess Hwy exit and head towards Geelong, meeting the others at BP.

    • Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.
    • That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.
    • Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.
    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
