Hey guys,

Just a quick question,

I was driving down Hindmarsh the other day and seen a honda wit a rushhour sticker on it, it got me wondering.

Ive happened to notice that u only see a few cars with rushhour stickers on them nowadays, nowhere near as many as there used to b around town.

I know they used to get a bad wrap, but also heard they started doing charity cruises for good causes.

Is anyone here a member of this notorious club?

And what's the go with their cruises?

I heard people started removing the stickers because they were being targeted by the Police. In the same rumor, it was said that ACT policing had a group specifically investigating Rush Hour.

Their once a year charity event does not negate all the bad things they have done and still doing, such as pouring oil on the road to do burnouts, racing in traffic. I went to the first Rush Hour Charity cruise and it was a TLGP.

There are a couple of Skylines that are part of their activities. They don't post much on here though.

Their "Cruises" are through a email list or sms. Their Charity Cruise is normally on Forums and Facebook.

It doesn't feel like many ppl here like cruisin much anymore.

I went to the drive-in at blacktown for fast five on sat night. Was amazed wit the turn out. Just thinking it'd b nice to have something organised like that down here.

yea might go c what all the fuss is about.

On another note, do we have an ACT skyline interest for texikhana june 12th at narimba airstrip?

Lol, the ACT Skyline crew normally are at the top of the field. This coming Texikhana, Reece (from Canberra) will be designing the course.

I'm considering going again, but it's a bit of money I could use to my Japan trip....

Cruises are rare these days because of the police. If you want to do one, put up a post and organise it and give people plenty of warning.

I think they run on Wednesday nights in Woden some where. A few of my mates go there often. I hear police break it up nearly every night and give out defects

Im guessing this is dylan and you were talking to dean? Police barely ever bother them and rarely give out defects unless you are being an arsehole. Mostly just RBT unless they see you doing skids etc. They will however put a note in their system on your car/license that you are connected with them.

Stickes are rare because of the bad rep, but there are plenty of cars sporting the charity cruise one as they dont really say rushour on them.

If I want to go for a drive I do it...no need to have a dozen 18yo knobheads trying to do skids in their mums VN Vacationer come with you.

Its only an Hour to Cooma and that is quite a nice drive and there are no traffic lights/RBTs etc every 5ks up the road

Its not like its Broadbeach carpark on teh GC a few years ago where it was a full on carshow every saturday night so it was intersting to see Genuine HO Falcons and 700Hp GTRs etc

Then the Knobhead 18yo's came and ruined it now there is nothing :(

Dean, Darren, Dale and few others. I just got told they usually meet up in Woden somewhere and cruise around usually up to the cotter and do circlework. I got told that one time the police blocked off both sides of the car park and had a look at everyones cars and handed out a few canaries. I've never been interested in Rush Hour so I'm just going off what I've heard.

This is true. They've finally discovered the truck turn around a few weeks ago after so many months of being built. I haven't seen oil there, but it might just be a matter of time.

headed out past the cotter to blue range hut yesterday there was a corner that might as well have had the tarmac replaced with shredded rubber and steel wiring.

    • He has an aftermarket hanger, it just sounds like your setup is much better then his.  It doesn't sound crazy at all to me, to install an aftermarket hanger and end up backwards compared to the factory setup.  Have a look at the tiny sock/filter/pickup on his fuel pump, surely the factory item is much much longer and I bet, better positioned as well. 
    • Why are people so insistent on making dirty water?!
    • Fark what are the changes of that snapping like that, clean. Nek minnit, custom radiator goes in, with built in oil cooler like those discontinued PWR ones from yesterdeacades ago
    • I thought I'd do a write up on an auto transmission fluid change for a the nissan 7 speed Automatic. At some stage the genius engineers decided that the fluid in the trans was "for the life of the transmission", (which seems kind of self supporting to me) and removed the dip stick and fill tube (funnily enough there is still a casting for it). Anyway, for this job you do need 2 specialist tools in addition to regular hand tools, jack and good chassis stands. You need a way to pump fluid up to the transmission; I got one of these but there are plenty of other options: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364584087070 Don't trust the generic listing though, it does not come with the required adapter for the Nissan 7 Speed. You need one of these, can't do the job without it: https://navarapart.com.au/product/genuine-nissan-patrol-y62-d23-np300-navara-re7-dipstick-fill-connector1 You need a heap of compatible transmission oil. Could be Nissan, could be anything else rated for Nissan Matic S. You need at least 10 litres, I had 15 to give it a better flush... Also, you need some biiig oil catch trays, at least one of these, or bigger if possible (volume was fine, size was very marginal): https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Tools-%26-Garage/Specialty-Tools/Oil-Service/Garage-Tough-Oil-Drain-Pan-Black-16L---GT1068/p/TO03191 Finally, a measuring jug is very useful if your pump does not have volumes marked on it, I got a 6l one: https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/fluid-accessories/measuring-jugs/penrite-measuring-jug-6l-pmj006/p/A5322648 Oh, and gloves.....this stuff is horrible (not as bad as diff oil, but getting there) ....First, jack up your car.....
