Hey All,

Was a good run today, nice variation of cars too. Good to put a few more faces to names.

I've uploaded 8 pics. Just click on the photo link thingy on the left.

Cheers

Was a good day. I'll post my pics soon

Apart from 1 broken wheel stud & 4 very loose wheel nuts (thanks to a local wheel/tyre dealer not doing them up correctly) it was most enjoyable. A certain business will be getting a friendly call tomorrow.

Todays cruise highlighted one small thing (aside from the importance of having tight wheel nuts)... I need to have a bit more tuning work done to correct the extremely rich mixtures on overrun!

Dean, the crap out my exhaust was nothing to be alarmed about (thank god) I had a good check of everything when I got home and even on the droive home all was well. I spoke to Shaun about it and he's going to do a bit more tweaking on the fuel maps.

Good to see a few new faces too.

Back to the topic, looked like a nice cruise. Pity my clutch decided to fail.

Trick, perhaps organise another day one. That route looks much better to me in the day!

Sorry i didnt make it, spent the day learning to ride motor bikes, plus the fact i forgot to set my alarm and woke up at 12.00.....so by the time i wouldve gotten ready there was no hope to make it, or should i say i wasnt prepared to pay the speeding fines i wouldve gotten catching up! lol. Looks like it wouldve been a great day though, ill get my shit sorted next time to make the next one! Might be heading down the drift day, not totally sure yet, only in the show though cos i like my body kit too much to go nuts..lol. Its on my b'day so ill just pretend its a massive party all for me! rofl.

[MattR]

hope was good day out. my car is all sorted and looking forward too next one

[EnricoPalazzo]

Apart from 1 broken wheel stud & 4 very loose wheel nuts (thanks to a local wheel/tyre dealer not doing them up correctly) it was most enjoyable. A certain business will be getting a friendly call tomorrow.

After thinking back to when my wheels last were removed I realised it wasn't the tyre dealer that was at fault in regards to my loose wheel nuts! Apologies to the business involved for the incorrect assumption.

The last time my rear wheels were removed and refitted was when I had the rear guards rolled. There was two adults present at time (me and the guy who did the guard rolling) I did NOT refit the wheels, so that leaves one other person.....

On a brighter note, it cost me a grand total of $16.80 for 5 new studs and $2 for one new wheel nut. Main North Nissan stock them both.

It took me and my neighbour (apprentice mechanic at Mercedes Benz) a bit over 1hr to do the job from start to finish. We broke another stud just getting the remaining nuts off! All the studs were bent.

Moral of the story? Always check for yourself your wheels nuts are tight whenever the wheels are refitted. It could've been a very interesting sight... watching a 3 wheeled GTS25t @ over 200km/h
