I suspect that 95% of the cars attending this cruise will be yellow canary worthy........driving like a dumbass is the least of your problems if they cordon off the area and start popping bonnets one at a time >_<

This forum is looked at on a regular basis by SAPOL and now you've given them a place AND a time........hopefully they've been slack lately and aren't up to date with SAU.

The Club generally organizes cruises off the main forum.....hence why it's good to be a member! :yes:

Goodluck

The cruise is for skyline enthusiats and owners! Good way to meet new people, ask questions and see what ideas people have come up with! Not for people who wanna hoon around with there gtr badges stuck on there gt!

ns cruise???

Whats with the negative comments if your not interested or scared your gonna get a deffect don't come no one is forcing you! Hopefully the people who have mods on there car like boost controller etc were smart enough to install it where its not visible for cops to see! If your gonna get deffected they will deffect you on your way to work or a friends! Well it will be good to catch up with everyone who isn't afraid to leave there drive way!

lol but if they read this they'll just send someone that knows wtf to look for. not hard to spot mods. then again they will defect you for suspicion aswell or cause your car is too fully sick.

Yep, Sled and I have had it told directly to our faces by Stuart Mclean (the head of the bike cops in Adelaide), that they pay close attention to all car forums, including ours.

Also, I am not trying to scare you off by any means, but if anything happens on the cruise, YOU, BEN, will be held personally responsible by the police. They have been prosecuting the organiser of cruises if something goes awry.

They want us off the roads and to not congregate in groups. Fullstop. It doesn't matter how legal your car is, if they decide they don't like you or your group, they will lock down the carpark and go over you all car by car. I have had this done before on an NS cruise some years ago - 150 cars were checked vigorously for defects (and something like 30 were issued full Regency defects) - they blocked off both entrances of the Newton Shopping Centre carpark and it took some guys 4 hours on lineup to get out, while they checked each car out with a fine tooth comb.

As Sled said, if you want to join a respectable organisation that gets left alone by the cops because we do the right thing, then join up with sausa.com.au and come on our cruises. We have never had a single issue.

I've been on a NS criuse where this happened as well (8 or so years ago). Those of us who got away with zero regency notes were lucky enough to drive out of one of the car park entrances when one of the cops was presumabley needed elsewhere. Was a very painful night for many people.

On the topic of car parks i never understood why people organise cruises from public car parks? Bunnings, Big W etc... something to me always looked suss standing around a public car park even in the middle of the day. I always liked the beach meet points we use to use for our south cruises :P

As per above, first NS cruise (think it was combined NS/SAU cruise) we got cordoned at the airport look-out... thankfully was on the outside of this... but unmarked cars parked between us, then two cop cars pulled up at the exit...

Will see if can make the cruise either way :)

Haha, I think this was the one when I got one of my many "emit undue noise" fines in my pewter S15 for doing a 2nd gear standstill when leaving the carpark. Cops kept me there for 1.5 hours in the freezing cold while a Regency specialist was called out to try to defect my car - and they couldn't find a single thing - he even congratulated me on how nicely and legally modded my car was. Those were the days!

I remember parking my car at the back of the car park facing a overgrown bush to try a hide my c-west carbon bonnet (white R33)

Pretty darn lucky but it certainly sobered me up to the pains of car cruises.

Hey guys just for anyone who still hasn't seen!

Meeting point will be big w car park, Which is 366 goodwood rd, cumberland park! On the 24th wich is next saturday at 12pm :) looking forward to meeting you all!

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
