After speaking to a few people today, we've decided there will be no video of this cruise at this time.

There isn't enough footage to put something decent together, so we'll use parts of it in a compilation later. Or just the dirt section to placate Glenn :P

Agreed...despite the stagea's reputation, the genuine cruise objectives and mature behaviour, it would be a media frenzy at the moment.

"the OLD peeps"

So I take it the footage from the camera on my car was not able to be salvaged? Hope you didnt go to much trouble trying to put a video together just to have a couple of wankers spoil it for us.

I have only just caught up with whats going on with this whole tunnel race thing, I didnt see the video till this morning but spent all last night at work copping shit from my workmates for "being a hoon" just cause i drive a Nissan. "No" I said, "it wouldn't be a SAU member, we're far more responsible than that!" Can't wait to see what they've got for me when I go to work tonight (especialy the guy with a subaroo outback) Thanks alot guys :spank:

Except that two of the people are SAU members (or is it were by now?).

The camera position in Billy's car was crap, but your footage was alright. Like I said, after a few cruises I might put together a compilation, but need more background/social footage I think, and less driving, which the media wants everyone to believe is always 'anti-social hoon behaviour'.

I hadn't started the video yet, just reviewed the footage. I am tempted to put the dirt road stuff up for shits and giggles though!

An extremely exhilarating video of volvos driving at 20kmph attempting to avoid pot holes :worship:

exactly, and then we can show the media that weare responsible drivers, we don't even get to the speed limit.

it'd prob be twisted tho. "a group of 20 nissan volvos destroying the parklands, here they can be seen in the wilderness searching for some animals to harm with their loud exhausts and spacious interiors!"

LOL oh no wait maybe not lol knowing channel no. 10 they'd probably do that!

Hey ryan if you really want to make that dirt road video interesting i got some footwell action taped also...

Then again maybe not: "a group of 20 nissan volvos destroying the parklands, here they can be seen in the wilderness searching for some animals to harm with their loud exhausts and spacious interiors, and as the video continues, one passenger is trying to film a drag race (probably on a nature strip) but the driver was going that fast that he could only film the footwell. Shortly after the video ends sources say he ran up an embankment to hit bambi and flipped the car onto its roof"

To clear things up fellas, there were certain SAU-SA members in the "tunnel drag race". The SAU-SA committee (including myself as Club Secretary) has discussed disciplinary action, and action has been taken. I am also the founder of this club, and we've put alot of hard work into this over the last 2 years or so, and its quite disappointing that such an act was filmed then hosted where the media could get a hold of it. The media and police scan these forums constantly, so please be aware of that when filming or even just discussing anything.

Our dyno day this saturday has been cancelled thanks to the fallout from this. There has been alot of discussion about it in the SA forums, but you've no idea the damage control and calls with SAPOL we've been doing to sort this out and keep the club's reputation.

:thumbsup:

It is all very sad indeed....we all make mistakes ! I don't condone their actions but suddenly the whole world (incl import drivers) are full of drivers who have never committed a breach of the Road Traffic Act. You are right though Ruby people only remember us by our mistakes.

+11ty to that, well said.

we've all done silly stuff, some more than others. I can't imagine where i would be if mobile phone cameras were so rampant 15 yrs ago when i was alot younger and alot dumber.

I want to say thank you to those involved in setting this cruise up , and every one else who attended. It was my first stag cruise which i was made to feel welcome buy some cool peeps.

It was made good by a bunch who loved their rides and not them selves.cant wait for the next one. Cheers to every one there!

some pics you might wanna see:

PS. sorry about the delay but i have just come out of two weeks of hell. (sick and teething 18mth twins + sick pregnant wife who at the same time gives her self a hernia, jumping up to a puking child , and her migraine still persists, and im also bed ridden with flu if i was allowed to lie down. .) father hood moments for cherishing. and she wonders why i have the need for spirited Sunday drives at the track.

Hey chopps might not be the best idea to post pics of us parked in disabled parking spots what with the bad publicity nissans have been getting in S.A. media lately jk

I can only imagine the story they could spin up lol

love the pics tho

um errrrrr..........

not that i remember maybe you should check the footage from the camera you had on my window, no wait that footage was mysteriously corrupted hmmmm :ph34r:

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
