Heya Guys,

Well first of all lemme say thanks all for showing up at that cruise besides the little *incident* that happened i really enjoyed myself and was good to see you guys and meet some of you guys that i hadn't before! Each time i go through the tunnel i think i always leave marks on the seats! MAN i love the sound of our lines in there!!!

Well for those that missed the highlight of my night. A guy in an MX6 was nice enough to leave a thank you for the cruise card in the form of a nice large dent to my front rear bumper and also smashed the light! This could not have been a worse time due to my REALLY bad day!

One thing i had to remember though is that it was an accident an accidents do happen. The guy was really cool about it and his folks came around yesterday to check it out. Got quote for repair at $550 all up!

Thanks for all the nice comments and concerns guys and thanks for all the help when it happened! Thanks PVA and Adam 32 for helping with the cruise! it was probably the best one i have been to so far!

P.s. any pics of the damage of my car would be nice for a laugh!:lol:

Well here is a small pic of it thanks for taken the photos of it will help just incase anything does happen whilst sorting out all the costs......

Oh by the way skyzer just for your friend Roz yeah my friend Troy that was with me in the car is single for this week then next week taken then the week after single.... every time i see him he has broken up then gone back out again!!! strange boy!!

This Troy bloke sounds like a player.....good work.

Anyways it was a shame that an easily avoided accident occured but as you said accidents do happen. That guy would have been sh*tting himself when he got out the car and 20 or 30 skyline people are there looking at him hehe

I thought someone had just smashed a glass bottle on the road but when i turned around i saw a MX6 in the front of your car i thought he was gonna do a runner.

Anyways hope it gets fixed up perfectly and un noticable and good work on the organising of the cruise.

And also good work to Joe who did a good job as the MC once again and Adam for the dot to dot map - we had to draw in a few lines such as Polly Pipe to Carousel.

HAHA nah thats the funny thing my car was Perfectly parked in between the lines and everything...i reversed it in nicely and all. He just said he couldn't see it.... Hmm me thinks that maybe he was hired by the government to hunt me down.

I don't wanna whinge but i wanna tell you bad a day i had that day!

1)My gfriend of 2 years broke up with me the night before,

2)my tire blew in the rain at 7:30am in the morning ON THE FREEWAY!

3)got some good secondhand tyres on and he said they were 255's! they weren't they were 235's!

4)hopped in car and boost gauge showed 1.6 bar approx 22PSi!

5)i shat myself and had to drive from Morley to wangarra PSI at 20kmh to find that my EXPENSIVE boost gauge is playing up! (better than bung turbo i guess)

6)then at the cruise my car bumper gets reversed into and smashed!!!!!!

I guess sometimes you just have to laugh at how unlucky in one day one can be!!!:uh-huh:

Oh well sh*t happens huh!:)

**** man ... ever seen a movie "Falling Down"?

Sounds like you and that guy had similar kinda days :D

AHAHAH You funny buggers!!! Yeah well I have learnt my lesson with Organising... simply... DON'T DO IT!

New slogan:

JUST SAY NO TO ORGANISING!

It's bad for your health.... and car:D

Was a good cruise though! sooo many cars there, when i came down the city west drive way my first thought was Hmmm perhaps 30 copies of the map wasn't enough!!! Oh how true it was!!! My friend how was with me is a V8 lover, not to hard to convert though when there was so many lovely examples of skylines there!

How was the helipad stop? and cops hassle there?

The hottie female cop said that she was going to have to park and grab my details and i said "Yeah no worries" i should have said just have my phone number and call anytime ahahah!! i really think she wanted PVA's number word on the street is your the mac daddy pimp and all the chicks know it, she was just using me to get to you Joe! AHAHAHA!!:shake:

Thanks Joe for getting the details of the guy whilst i had steam rising from my ears it was a big help dunno what i would have done when i was fuming.... and thanks for the photos guys always good for my album collection:rolleyes:

Hi

Quite possibly it was my R33 as I live very close to there and am always coming and going past the zoo.

What time and date ??

Cheers

Yeah i was gunna kinda keep all that stuff about my car in the show a bit quiet but in the rage that i was on Friday night just to make the guy feel worse about hitting my car i kinda let the cat out of the bag. :lol:

Well apparently i was selected more for the looks of my car not so much the performance. I can't tell you an exact figure at the moment of the output on that car but last time it had 240RWHP however i am getting a couple of things done next week with c-red so i will be expecting a bit more than that at the wheels when finished there then over to PSI for a bit aswell, however as of yet i can't really tell you an exact figure when finished that is still to be determined. Also at the show i am whacking it onto the dyno there so will cross my fingers then :uh-huh: .

Yeah apparently it's more for the uniqueness of the look of my car also manual with sunroof but a bit of power behind it shoudn't be too bad.

I hope my car lives up to the expectations of what show cars really are. I have seen some very nice skylines and am unsure as to how good the quality of my car is compared to them.

Guys when you do go to the auto salon and see my car i do understand that everyone has an opinion on everything and are allowed there 2 cents worth. I just hope i can still make you all proud to be skyline owners:uh-huh: and hopefully on behalf of you guys aswell be able to show other car enthusiasts how nice our skylines are.

I'm not too sure if details are FULL confirmed but so far we have been told Late October. We have been given dates but not too sure as to what the situation is.

Not at claremont. but not too far away.

Apologies for the vagueness i'm just not too sure as to what is to be said incase of any changes are to be made thats all.

    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
