2013 SauQld Annual Skyline Charity Cruise


Description:

It's that time of year again ladies and gentlemen, the Annual Skylines Australia QLD Charity Cruise!


This year we are helping out the Smith Family with a Teddy Bear run just before Christmas. The Smith Family conduct regular fundraising events to support children from families and will be there to show their support towards us. We are holding this near Xmas so that we can help those out in more unfortunate circumstances. The fact that they are receiving a toy will be a big plus in any child's eyes and can really make a difference. This is why we ask you to join us and demonstrate our strength as a community of Skyline owners.


We will be meeting at the Samford Bowls/ Tennis Club Car Park and cruising via a nice scenic route to Lakeside Park. This route will be released on the day and clearly marked pilot vehicles will lead you there. We will be holding several raffles and a Show 'n' Shine with all profits going to the Smith Family. The attached document outlines what can and can't be donated in line with The Smith Family's policies.


As this is a charity cruise we will be charging a fee of $20 and a brand new teddy bear/toy per car to donate. Toys other than teddy bears would be greatly appreciated. Year after year, they tend to find a shortage of toys for boys aged between 8-12 years of age.


Being a cruise, there is to be no speeding or unlawful behaviour. The club will be on public display and anyone caught breaking the rules will be asked to leave.


This is a great cause and year after year we are able to demonstrate our strength as a group and assist those less fortunate in a positive manner.


Come along for the ride and have a great day!


Location:

We will be meeting at the Samford Bowls/ Tennis Club Car Park and cruising to Lakeside Park. Details of the route will be provided on the day. We will have several cruise leaders with their cars identified and we ask that you follow these cars and don't overtake them.


Date:

Sunday, the 8th of December.


Time:

10 AM arrival at the meeting point for a 11 AM departure.

There will be prior sub-meets held in the South, West and East to allow people to travel in a group together. If you would like to assist in organising this, please contact myself or an Exec Member.


Cost:

$20 and a teddy bear or toy per car plus any fuel/food you use/eat.


Requirements:

This is one of the only events we run with vehicle requirements but as this is a Skyline charity cruise we do have several.

Your car must meet 2 of the following 3 requirements:

1. Be manufactured by Nissan/Infiniti/Datsun/Prince

2. Be sold as a Skyline

3. Be powered by an RB or VQ engine


Eg: A Nissan Silvia powered by an RB25 would be eligible as it meets two criteria

A Toyota Supra powered by a VQ35 would not be as it meets one criteria only


The only exemption to these requirements are the R35 GT-R, and the F31 Leopard.


There are Sprints on at Lakeside as well so it will be a great day out. Feel free to invite others who own cars that suit the criteria. Let everyone know that it's on. Get out there and spread the word!


Let's all join together and make this huge!


Look forward to seeing you there.


Thank you,


Tony

President

On behalf of the Entire Executive Team

Alternative Meeting Points:


These are alternative meeting points from where you can meet with a few others and cruise on in to the main meeting spot at Samford. For those that aren't sure of how to get there or simply want to cruise with a few other cars, this would make your life a lot easier. Each spot will have two authorised marshals managing the group and ensuring that people don't get lost.



This list will be updated as the organisers provide me with more info incl time and location.

    • 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?

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
