OK...we know Ruby had a try with a June date...so here goes....

Some of you know us and our many charity cruises with "that other forum"

We previously mentioned we would like to organise a winter cruise with a Pub lunch included

I found a hills pub today that is happy to give us a private room (no charge) and a 3 course lunch for $19/head....

we will have 3 choices, ring our choices through to them on the morning & your lunch will be waiting for you

(in the private room) when you arrive.

So lets have a crack at it,would you like to join us on a 2.5hr cruise followed by lunch

then a 40min cruise back to the metro ?

If you bring your kids, OLD Jules will have a surprise for them to enjoy on the drive. If the G/F, partner, missus

usually stays at home...then this is one for her too. No we wont be driving hard...but there are some interesting roads

included....YES that will mean, it will (then be) camera/video friendly...Ryan

"the OLDS" - Jules & Mark

PS...no this is not a charity cruise...just a family friendly cruise

Put us down as a maybe- new baby and all, we'll be right at the back this time if we come :thumbsup:

Will vote later when we've had some sleep and can make an informed desicion

Its the OLDs from the custom inports video. Ill have to get your autograph. The first 3 weekends are good for me. Ill be the same Glenn, if I can talk the wife into coming this time Ill be behind the pack with the newest baby stagea member aswell. Jules might need a few rattles for the kids. Ha Ha.

Cant wait maybe the pub will attract a record number.

This will be a "Rain, Hail or Shine Cruise"...as we have managed a warm private room

I should get the menu today & will throw it up. We are hoping the "slower, nanna pace" :yes: and the "family...everyone is invited" will give this small section of SAU (& the media) a

different perspective. (...not suggesting all cruises should be this way)

"us OLD peeps"

GUYS...can I suggest we lock in a main meal from Menu 1 or 2 on the day

...those wanting the full package can indicate it on arrival, it's just

the main meals in a small hotel take a while...apologies I got my prices confused in my first post (go easy Im OLD)

(so on route we will ring them, with an ETA & your main meal order)

BLUMBERG HOTEL

24 SHANNON STREET, BIRDWOOD, SA 5234.

These are our sample group menus. Please do not hesitate to ring.

Cheers

Rebecca Markham

I would LOVE to join you Mark & Jules. However my stagea bottom end has finally said enough is enough (track day april 11 lost ringlands to piston#5); being towed on Monday for a budget bottom end replacement. Wish I had the funds to do it properly, but in a hard state at the moment in regards to money, the pension supplies barely enough to eat and pay for power bills :(

Lets LOCK IN the date !....will make it easier for everyone, so it is now

SUNDAY 17th JULY

...please disregard the poll (I can't delete it maybe Ruby or someone else can)

OLD Mark

PS...please let us know if you can't make it on that date.

    • Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.
    • That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.
    • Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.
    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
