mysfit snow trip 2003

guys, just a thought and i would be interested in your invidual feedback

whenever we go on cruises, we tend to end up in groups of 3-4 and never really get to meet the rest of the crew. it is my opinion that this club/association would develop stronger bonds if we had stronger group relationships

therefore i propose: a trip to new zealand for a week in 2003 for the purpose of skiing and getting to know each other.

being together in a hotel for a week would create plenty of opportunities to meet different individuals that you may not normally converse with and also to pick the brains of people that you may feel uncomfortable asking questions of via the forums. for example, how cool would it be to get meggala all to yourself for an hour over a drink to ask for help with your project or boostmeister for some tips on building bits and pieces for your baby.

the reason that i propose the 2003 snow season is that, there are probably a few people on this forum that would require a bit of time to save the necessary dollars and organise time off yadda yadda. it is actually cheaper than i thought but of course, you would need plenty of spending money

not to mention the fact that the snow will provide plenty of opps for rumbo's etc

this is a link to a deal that harvey world travel have for this season and i envisage that we would organise something similar next year

i look forward to your fedback

onarun, i am unsure of approx dates but obviously next winter is the go

at this point i am just trying to gauge some interest

another option for people to consider is a groupr supercruise for a week to targa tasmania

meeting in melbourne, a few days before and putting all the cars on the ferry, obviously this would be more expensive for those of us that live north and west of melbourne but hey these are just ideas, so lets hear yours

have a look at some of the deals these guys can do

this is certainly a good option as we all get to go to targa and achieve my first objective- group cohesion

besides staying at both of the casinos is awesome

and let me tell you there are some great roads for cruising in tasmania

I definately like the idea, dun know about the whole new zealand thing though. All those Skyline owners together for a week with no skylines...I can't afford that much piss :cry:

Actually, the idea does sound alright. Have to see if we could work out something for like the June/July holidays or something. Depends on prices I guess, Í don't wanna spend too much money that could be spent on paying off loans or mods :wink:

ill see how the money situation is closer to the date but it sounds like a hella good idea.

I went on a tour to NZ b4 with a big group but didnt know all that many of them but it was still hella fun.

Imagine how cool it would be with all the sky boyz and galz, much in common.

While were there lets all chip in and buy a car to kill ehehe that would b fun. ever driven on snow in a $500 car ahahaha all class.

how cool would it be to get meggala all to yourself for an hour over a drink to ask for help with your project or boostmeister for some tips on building bits and pieces for your baby.

i pity the ppl who get stuck talking crap with me, onarun and birty

Birty, VirginBlue do Brisbane to Sydney for $107

Rod I guess the main thing to work out is do we want to go somewhere where we have our cars? or not.

NZ might be a good option at this point with no cars...and then *thinking ahead* we could have a big national Skylines Australia meet later down the track when the club is properly up and going and all bring our cars

ONARUN has mentioned this before, I think :wink:

    • So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.
    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan. 
    • The BES920 is like the Toyota Camrys of coffee machines. E61 group head is cool, however the time requirements for home use makes it less desirable. The Toyota Camry coffee machine runs twin boilers and also PID temp control, some say it produces coffees as good as an E61 group head machine.
