Yeah I had a great time!  The sudden slow downs to 20kmh on the highway were a bit hair rasing at times tho, cars going everywhere!  But yeah over all really good.  Organisation was fine, I didnt even read the bit of paper I it was easy, just follow the leader! :P

And I was good, I parked right up the end of the line, I wasnt inbetween any skylines for anyone who was complaining :)

Hey dangerous_dave yeah that was me u almost had in your boot lol :chairshot

I got a flat spoted front right :Oops:

gee that would be funny what would u call it a skyfro :blast:

The reason people were doing like 20k's on the highway is this thing called 'Chain Reaction', im sure you learnt about it in year 8 at highschool.

Basically, when erin is up the front doing 90 or so (for a few k's) just so everyone can regroup.. it makes this thing called a chain reaction, causing the cars behind her to break and slow a bit.. and considering we had such a long line, the people at the end of it will have felt the end of the reaction which by the time it hit them, they would have slowed to your apparent 20k's..

ontop of this, we all were traveling in the one left hand lane (which was the right thing to do), and as this lane is used to take exits, people some times had to break to let people in that would like to use the exits.. and i witnessed some of these cars slowing to use the exit, and hesitating which would have sent another 'chain reaction' to the one already sent.

So in theory, the reason why the people at the tail end where doing this 20ks would be causing your dealing wiht at least chain reactions in one.

its simple logic, its commonsense .. wanna go faster, indicate right anf move up the back like me and other members did.

:P ... thats your education for today :)

I think we had more of a chance of getting 'slow' tickets for going too slow than getting them for speeding on the way to bwcp. I dont think i even got to 100km/h the whole time.

Yeh the sudden braking woke me up nice and good :Oops:

I hanged around the coast untill about 2am with a few others and ended up getting home about 4am after some city cruising with 2quick

Good to drive my car in again, thats the first time ive driven it properly since i got it back. It can only get faster now, and handle better as of next week :P

I see some of you's on the weekly cruises from now on....

Once again, Thanks Erin and Adrian!!

Argh I'm sooo pissed off I couldn't make it... a mate ended up getting taken to hospital in an ambo after getting into a fight at my brother's house. Sort of put my plans on hold... :P

Anyway looks like it was an awesome cruise, even better to hear that, on the whole, everyone was pretty well behaved too.

Good work Erin/Adrian!

Hey much thanks to erin and adrian for the cruise good to meet fellow line owners around and espically on the nth side.... many thanks to Sheree (61RLY) for takin charge of the pack that got lost hehehe and how funny was the BWCP exit disaster half of us diddnt have a clue where to go... cant wait for the next one

    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks  
    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
