Hey all,

I thought you all would like to read about cruise insurance which has been on the Pulsar SA threads. It started about defects and then MADMAN highlighted about public liabilty insurance on private cruises. I think we should take it up with the organisers and moderators in Australia?:uh-huh:

It's an interesting read, but I really don't see the need for insurance every time you want to have a drive with other people. I mean where does the line get drawn? two cars? three cars? more? Mass cruises with heaps of cars i can understand need insurance for, but again, how many consitutes a large cruise?

I understand the concern of insurance companies, that it becomes more of a risk with numbers, but the interpretation of "convoy" or "cruise" is pretty vast! :P

And hey, if you cause a crash which is so horrific to require liabiliy cover then you were obviously driving like a dick and have only yourself to blame if your insurance company doesn't cover you. :P

Waiting 6 weeks for cruise insurance every time you wanna get together ... what a joke! :)

Insurance now adays is getting out of hand ;)

Hi guys thought I'd throw in my $0.02.

The non-legal advice I recieved from a non-lawyer (but someone who is involved in the insurance industry) regarding public liability and cruises is as follows. If you tell everyone to obey the law, any instructions/directions that you hand out are lawful and the cruise participants sign a form acknowledging same then you cannot be held liable.

If the club sanctions/promotes any illegal activities and there is an accident, then you are in deep s**t.

Maybe what we need to do is get together as a national organisation when all the clubs are formed and chip in for some professional legal advice.

When SA goes for a cruise that is organised within this forum there usually only 10 or so cars.

We all know each other.

Does this really classify as a cruise as it isn't really planned we simply just go for a drive. What i mean is there is no map of destinations etc.

As I think i said before when i was younger we used to drive around with 6-10 cars, that wasn't a cruise just a few mates getting together and going for a drive.

I guess thats why we need professional advice.

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
