Damn - hate it when im right !!! :(

 

ill still be there though...

soo!! did you actually make it?! :)

Thanks to everyone that turned up!!! I actually didn't think so many of you would! Hehe...was fully expecting to go it alone!! Glad i didn't have to though :)

I'm happy to say we had no bad encounters with cops! in fact...we had no encounters at all! no incidents nothing!! The road was a lil wet....and it was definitely a slippery drive, but apart from that it was a nice clean cruise! :)

Whens the next one!!! :P:D :D

great cruise guys, that was great fun... :(

Hey Ash,

You didn't make it right to Terrigal did you?

I didn't see you there?

You don't know me, but i know of you thru Backup(Dale)

I think i counted 10 Skylines at Terrigal :)

Niiiiicccceeeee

soo!!  did you actually make it?! :(

 

 

Course i did !!

although, got %$^$ called for work by the time we all arived at Kariong, so i had to scoot.... :cuss:

the drive was good - a LOT longer than i thought, but i learnt something about my car....how deep in the red it can go petrol wise ! (didnt see a petrol warning light though..)

Great to meet up with the Central Coast contingent, and put some faces to names... :) Hopefully will catch up again next weekend...

just gotta remember -

1) more petrol next time

2) 265/35/18's and wet roads dont go, regardless of how the car handles !! :P

you guys took your sweet time gettin' up there

I missed the 9pm meeting point by 10 mins and had to hang out at work on the net for 30 mins. (washed my car and missed you guys)

I then went up to macca's and met up with ronin and some others, it was good to meet some people from here though.

so when's the next one? make it a month away or something

cheers

Thanks for the cruise,  I had a ball on those slippery roads !   It sure beat sitting at home on the net and watching TV   :-)

When is the next one !!!

Hehehe....i told you!!! next time bring the mazda out!!! :D I think james and martin regretted being in my car the first time you disappeared!!

and man do i have alot to learn about windy roads!!! what a struggle to keep up! and you and the s15 weren't even trying!!!! :

Hey gizmo! you should do what i do when on call! drag your laptop everyone and just log on remotely!! :):(:P

Next cruise!? a month away is probably good! whose going to organising it?!?! :D

Bah thats not right.... i'm on 265/35's and i actually almost caught up with mona (which is a feat even in the dry) after she got a 10 min head start from wisemans :)

But that said i almost sh*t myself on a few corners and bridges.

Kudos on the cruise mona, how could you think even for a second that we'd make u go it alone. I miss your exhaust tho.

Oh and Dave, you drive like my grandma.... and she's dead :(

Simon, was that you that I caught upto near the end of that road with the intersection to Gosford/Singleton/Sydney and we didn't know where to go? I was in the Midnight Purple R33 GTR...

If so, you have to also factor in the 2-3 minutes we spent stationary at that intersection trying to figure it out and calling people too :)

YAY!! i'm glad you guys turned up! :D i wasn't sure cause i didn't see any other posts apart from your first ones... :D

and i miss my exhaust too :) :) :( :( its too quiet now! but i'd better get used to it!

Hey Andrew! Sorry! I was figuring it out as i went!!! next time i'll remember to say its pretty much straight all the way to the last intersection with the lights! :)

    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
