Bring on the pics!

Tremendous to see a good complement of R32s + R33s + R34s. I've not seen parity like this before.

More importantly...

The people! Gemma invites some really nice people. Enthusiasts - all!

The route...

Macquarie Pass is always a bit testy - even more so with wet leaves, wet tarmac, or trucks coming downhill negotiating left handers

Additional route...

Jamberoo Pass deserves respect - narrow bits, crumbling corners, sagging shoulders - but massive fun when the road is clear ahead

The future...

SAU is already organising several events this year - yes cruises too - to places we've not been to before.

Great drive today guys! This was my first "official" cruise too (and this is especially bad considering I've had the car nearly 6 years.. - look at my join date!!). I was the guy who brought the charcoal stocker :) Getting it buffed and detailed next weekend so should look substantially better next time!

Really enjoyed the twisties, especially down Jamberoo Rd. Macquarie Pass was very slow as we were stuck behind a bus though :(

Also good to actually meet some of the people from the forums too.

Will definitely come on another one! Just seen the Putty Rd cruise - might give that one a go but it's pretty long... probably won't have any tyres left after that...

Thanks for organising Gemma! Hope we can do another one soon!

yep :)

there was like 4 sets of people.... was hilarious. just when i thought i'd seen the last of the skylines, OH THERES MORE

was an awesome wedding though, the ceremony was the shortest i've been to; was no religion, just "this is what a marriage is defined as, so let's get to it"

winner

awesome reception too and jen caught the bouquet and i caught the garter :/

Thanks for organising a very enjoyable cruise Gemma. Perfect weather and a great drive.

Good to catch up again Terry, and to meet a lot of great folks. Bring on the next cruise! :thumbsup:

Now that Paul & I are friends, we can swap wings, right? :P

Matt has some pics coming up soon, when there's enough time - and thanks Al.

And Owen, you saw me in the lead eh?

Going up Mt Keira was also a good add-on - even though I was detained at first; 'er lost. >_<

Don't lie. You were just left behind :nyaanyaa:

Good cruise as always with the exception of some we need to bring back the palm beach cruise in summer how did you like the knight rider light Terry....

I'm so tempted to bring out my rifle and shoot out those moving lights one-by-one. That's my skill! :rolleyes:

is dat sum LM-GT4 i see?

Bronze LMGT4s on a Shiny Pearl Black body > Mean.... > Very Mean :thumbsup:

Awesome photos, Matt! There are quite a few in there you should put in the July photo thread.

Nick - thanks for the feedback mate. :thumbsup:

Oh I meant on the Bayside Blue 34 :) White on blue, yummmmm :)

Can't remember if the GT4's used decals, or embossed like the GT3s for the "nismo"...

Yep - decals. Moelders' GT-R is a rare sight and looked great on the day. The blue and white is a great combo.

Steve's GT-R from Steve's Auto Barn in the Blue Mountains has a similar look:

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
