So Fast Five (the fifth Fast and the Furious movie) comes out late next month, and I was thinking it would be fun (and kinda corny) if we had an SAU import meet to go see it together. If there's enough interest we could even call the cinemas and try and organise a SAU discount for the night, particularly if it was on a quiet night like a Tuesday.

I got the idea from the last time I went to the drive in cinema there were a mass of old school muscles cars. They had all the prime parks and were out and about talking so I assume they'd been there a while.

I think Lunar drive in best because of its location in Dandenong, the other option is Coburg but it seems a little far out for anyone but those in the northern suburbs. Has anyone been there? I've only been to the Dromana ones.

Anyone interested?

hey Kieran,

not sure if you have seen the movie nights I organize but I am going to do a fast and the furious 5 one.

They normally occur on a Friday night and we go to Coburg and we get $10 for a full adult ticket. I am going to post something up shortly, but am waiting for final details from the events manager at Village cinemas who always looks after us.

Here is the link to the movie night we had last week

Ah cool nevermind then. I had seen them but for some reason never knew they were drive in cinemas. Assumed you guys were just meeting up for normal ones.

I'll let you organize it ;)

Noooo... ...Don't give up so easily... ...FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT!!!...

:domokun:

think lunar drive in is a bit more welcoming for our cars..in sense of less loose rocks and smother surface to drive on (from what i can recall..

i prefer lunar drive in too..just coz i live less than 5 min from there :D

I'd probably go regardless. But I prefer Coburg to Lunar, even though Coburg is further out for me (it's really only a half hour drive from the eastern suburbs). IMO:

- Screens look much the same to me in terms of quality

- I found there to be more random stones/bumps at Lunar - not cool at an F&F movie with heroes wheel spinning on exit

- Coburg is much easier to navigate around both on exit and trying to find a spot to park (more room and better layout)

- I was waiting in queues of cars at Lunar last time I was there

- Diner is better at Coburg

- Less chance of being defected at Coburg

- We get $10 movies at Coburg whenever we organise a meet

- Lunar usually has more annoying f***s (read Dandenong locals) camping out in front of the screen with their flashlights and taking pictures with a camera while the movie is on. VERY annoying.

/rant.

Thanks Kieran,

Unfortunately Lunar drive-ins are not part of Village and as such we may not be able to get a discount.

1 other thing, if there are alot of people for this one we may be able to get it abit cheaper then normal.

I just gave him a call and it is coming out on the 20th of April, so theres a bit of time and I will put up

more info when available.

    • 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.
