Should be a wicked cruise. For those wondering about getting dobbed in or not, don't worry about it. I am the cruise director for MGEC and own a 257kw ATW S14 (used to have a slow Mitsi!). I like to have fun also :) MGEC has new members on the committee now and things have changed slightly.

And for those that know some of the dudes from PSI would know about all of their exploits!!

so how long is the cruise? I will be available prolli after 9pm will it be finished by then or is this a decent long cruise where we can join up half way.....As for Steve: Yes we need like a decent skylines clubo!! heehheee BB out

ooops I only saw this post this morning I AM SO SORRY :-(

Well for those of you who were working, prior engagements or just unable to make this cruise : OH MY GO! AND WOW FACTOR PLUS. There were approximatly 80 cars at the start point, Nissan dominated the evening, but there were people and cars everywhere.

I officially signed on 72 people as there were others that didnt pay their donation etc, but thats ok, we raised approx $170.00(will update tomorrow) for the CANCER COUNCIL so thanks everyone.

I would like to thank those who attended and gave a donation for this event. :D

I have to agree Cheeky, we ended up going on a massive detour aswell which was ridiculous, then to top if off some tool in a red mx5 did a donut in the middle of an intersection and sprayed the side of my car with rocks! NOT HAPPY! If anyone knows him i wouldnt mind getting his number. So much for a cams organised cruise, they must have bailed right after we left big w, whats up with that? There were some nice cars out but as usual it also attracted the usual idiots that cant help but do burnouts and get us all in trouble. All in all it was a good run for the car but definitely wasnt the best cruise organised, someone should have used the directions and driven the route b4 the cruise at which point they would have realised the directions were wrong. Oh well, better luck next time.

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
