Haha, yeah my self (Black 32) and ret where having a fair bit of fun with you oak. It was good to see that i was able to keep the pace as my engine transplant was just done and all. All those twisties and those strights, well my speed limiter works! :wassup:

Can i just say though that i thought all of the drivers were fantastic today, a really friendly group of people, i had no problems meeting new people as you were all friendly.(NisR34) and ret :rolleyes:

Oh and a big thumbs up to everyone who got all of this running, andrew and ash! :P and anyone else who helped out along the way!Look forward to the next meeting.

Highlight was driving back through the forest. And getting the silvia out of the ditch.
hey dude,

Ye we were the guys who helped get the silva out... :rolleyes:  

yea i ment you and the black r32 also, i kept looking in my mirrow i was under pressure...

also the older ZX that started off the nice cruise home...

Thanks again guys for helping me out of the ditch, very much appreicated. :Oops: Luckily there was no damage to the car, I was worried about my exhaust but it's fine...

I'm disapointed I didn't make it down earlier, I arrived at Apollo Bay as everyone was leaving, hence my bodgy u-turn that landed me in the ditch

Great photos guys... wish I was there...

I'm still overseas now and there is no skylines at all here :rolleyes:

Just millions of 100cc Yamaha/Honda motorcycles and gazillions of

public mini-buses "white bread shape car", corollas, accords, and a

few locally built people movers with bizzare names like Mitsubishi "Horse" or Toyota "Reindeer".

Till I get back... cheers :P

No you weren't the only one mate... on the long straight stretches I too was doing the limit. I wasn't pushing really hard through the twisties as I had a line of black R33GTSt (with GTR badge), white R32 GTSt, black R32 GTSt, green Minitruck and a red Z in front of me and I wasn't going to attempt to overtake that lineup!

I was sitting behind a maroon VL and Lee in the R33GTSt earlier, but they pulled over and I went through. Thanks guys. Oh, and there was a nice flame flash out of that 33 just before you decided to pull over. Wish I'd had a video camera on board!

The main reason I stuck to the speed limit on the straights was a purple BA XR6T (JAI-010)that pulled over, let us through, then stuck on my ass like glue. I had my suspicions he was an off-duty copper the way he accelerated to catch us up. I don't think he was, but I didn't want to take any chances.

I didn't get to know a lot of you guys, but I did chat to a few without getting names/nicks. Like I said in the other thread, I've been a member of quite a few "online" car clubs, and the type of people I met yesterday are much more mature and responsible than most I've met in other online clubs. It was a well organised run, but not enough people had UHFs.

The funniest sight for me was the dude on the motorbike. Pic is attached.

[edit] I forgot to add the numberplate topping it off. I don't know if many of you noticed it... "HUGE 1" :rolleyes:

I too saw that car and thats when i decided to slow down abit and let the 2 r32's through, but after the BA overtook me at about 120 km/l and i was starting to lag behind i thought id take the chance and try and lead the pack again for abit...

also in that BA was a female passanger so dont think it was a undercover....

shame i didnt get a chance to have a look at your car closer NRB but being busy with the pics and etc... i didnt bother asking for a little spin etc...

fingers crossed next time....

Great day.

First skyline cruise and definately not the last.

Had the opportunity to meet some of you skyline enthusiasts and I have to say all were friendly. (I was the guy in the white 32)

The run back on the otways was amazing. I can't get those twisties out of my head!!

NRB: Yeah we saw that guy on the bike - HUGE1 hehe......

Pushead: You have to drive next year!!

I had a good look at that car and was sure it WASNT an undercover car. I also stuck to the speed limit, and only went "104" when the line of sight ahead was clear for kilometres.

I also saw that dude on the motorbike, he was sooo funny. Reminded me of the guy from the fat boy slim film clip. Maybe he was testing a new airbag system for motorbike riders?

I think it was just some guy out having some fun with some "jap crap skylines" in his aussie ford.

Back onto the cruise, how awesome was driving through the forest with lights on, just seeing sets of stovetops snaking around the corners.

Yeah I'm getting a bit worried too.

I overtook at around 150. For some reason it never crossed my mind that he was an undercover.

The odd thing was that he didn't let Cr34tion pass, speeding up as he was trying to overtake.

At around 150, so 10 minutes to 2 o'clock then! :flamed:

I didn't even get to use more than 50% throttle all day :D

      But your running 1.6 bar of boost, is it still 12 degrees of timing at 1.6 bar of boost? Also, is there e85 fuel at the petrol stations in Dubai?

      Manual Shifter slightly bounces/moves/vibrates when accelerating/deaccelerating

      By Duncan · Posted

      Congratulations on your find  Did you mean it has 6k miles or was that a typo? Firstly, keep in mind some movement of the shifter is normal...it is a long rod hanging out of a box bolted to the engine. Having said that there are 2 next places to look: 1. Transmission and engine mounts. If these are worn or broken the shifter will move around more. They are reasonably easy to source and replace on a hoist, and possible but uncomfortable to replace car stands 2. On the bottom of the shifter there is a nylon cup that sits over shifter's ball end. If this is worn or broken the shifter will move around more than it should (but will still shift OK). That is a cheap part and requires removal of centre console, rubber shifter hole covers and a circlip in the gearbox shifter hole to remove the shifter. Re maintenance, as with any new import you should change all the fluids including transmission when you get it; never trust the seller and previous owners to have done the right thing. I am pretty sure R34 GTT is the same as earlier big box transmissions, so use any good quality GL4 75w90 trans fluid if it is shifting well (if it is hard to shift due to synchro wear, redline shockproof lightweight will keep it alive a bit longer before rebuild is required)

      Misfire/stalling issues

      By Chris_Guthrie · Posted

      Well considering I have the exact same problem with that as the original one I don't think that the ignitor is the problem. I would imagine that this being such an uncommon problem the possibility of getting a new ignitor that is bad in the same way as the old one has to be very slim. I'll definitely pull everything apart this weekend and check the turbo out. Got quite a bit of things to check out Saturday like fuel pressure and the pcv so I'll report back once I do that.  Thanks everyone for all the replies this is all really helpful
