Edifier's R34 GT-R VS2 is fine. Small leak at offside front > needs attention - that's all.

Will have it check out first thing tomorrow morning, water temp was ok on my way home. And huge thanks to Terry for escorting me back to Sydney. ;)

Large hail forecast for the Hunter.

Newie ppl under cover!

Sydney ppl are outta there right?

Was lucky to completely avoid the hail - took M1 home and stuck in a huge jam about 5k away from Pacific Highway exit. Turned out that trees fell on M1 due to storm so took some time to clear things out. Killara/Lindfiend area looked like they were hit by a typhoon/cyclone, water and leaves everywhere on the road.

Great drive today, really enjoyed it! Already looking forward to the next cruise.

Home.

Hail came through Syd while I was still on the f3.

Sad to hear about The BB 34 not making it Terry. Good on you for helping out *pat on back*

My back is killing me!

I'm not really that nice a person.

I'd do the same for an enemy.

Gotta know what address I send the bell housing. :P

We left the pub pretty early cos me and the mrs were buggered and we drove through that cyclone. Holy crap. Heaviest rain I've ever been through but thankfully no hail.

Thanks for organising guys

Thanks for organising and for everyone coming along. It was a really nice drive!

Managed to catch the storm coming back to Sydney and I couldn't see anything in front of me. It was pretty much just a giant blur of grey haha.

Was a great event. Bernie and me missed the storm completely. Was lucky.

Got stuck in the jam on the M1 before the Wahroonga turn off for a bit. Other than that all clear.

Hailed in Hornsby but we missed it all.

Same here... Started storming as soon as I got home though, but only for 5 minutes.

Really fun day and perfect introduction into the SAU Sydney scene... definitely what I needed to appreciate my Skyline and hang onto it!

Thanks for organising!

Yes great weather on the way up but terrible traffic and weather on the way back, at least I had a 32 to cruise back with Mark, not sure what your forum name is.

Great day though, will post some pics when there's a wrap up thread.

Great day. Nice to meet some of you. Sorry to hear about the traffic and weather for some on the way back down south. Good turnout and hats off to the royal hotel for getting the meals out in good time considering the number of orders they had. Look forward to seeing some pics and to the next event.

Good cruise!!! Plenty of nice cars to look at. Snapped some photos so will upload a few tomorrow night.

Went back to Sydney via the Putty with Mick which seemed like a good idea at the time. The rain ended up pelting down....plus plenty of tree branches & debris on the road etc. Pretty treacherous conditions, especially with well-worn AD08's...but was still good fun lol.

Also...on the putty a bloke with a horse float almost lost it around a right hander.... and on the m4 there was a Chrysler stuck in the flooded right lane as well as a Toyota with its front end smashed in.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf

      Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.

      Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?

      R34 N/a And R34 Turbo (gtt) Transmission.. Uh, Problem.

      @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man

      Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
