Hey guys the SuburbanStreets cruise # 2 is coming up soon! :D See here for details:

http://www.suburbanstreets.com/bb/viewtopic.php?t=165

Currently we are looking for your ideas and so far here is what we have:

Date Sunday August 29

The meeting point at Big W carpark on the corner of Cross Rd and Goodwood Rd.

We could then head up Cross Rd to the freeway for some hills driving.

Not sure where we will end up as of yet :D

There will be maps and cruise notes handed out. :)

Here are some pics of the first cruise :D

Good luck with the cruise, looks like you got a nice varied bunch of cars along to the last one.

I'll put myself in the same boat as some others here and say: thanks, but no thanks. My idea of a cruise is racing through the hills at breakneck speeds with a bunch of very high performance cars and equally high performance drivers (we've never had an accident in the 10+ cruises I've been on). I hate to think what it would be like to be stuck behind a riced up lancer (like the one in the pic) through the hills or worse still at a set of traffic lights.

Each to their own, and good luck with what you do. :P

Awww c'mon guys... you're all being a bit harsh, but I have to say I love the honesty :)

I know I have out dated tastes, but I just can't stand those UGLY (and heavy) chrome rims on that Silver S2 GTS25t - YUCK! :throwup:

Hey guys thanks for your honesty :) As much as I may agree with you on other peoples taste in cars we are open to anyone who wishes to come along, no matter how their car drives looks :rofl:

All in all, if your personal taste in cars is enough to warrant you not to come on this cruise that is fine. You are also right in saying that not all of the cars are at the same level of performance thus you may not go as fast as you would like through the hills :)

Finally, if you want to meet a few new people and come on a nice, not overly fast paced cruise, you are more than welcome to come along :)

Regards,

Marlon.

Whilst I do agree with the general vibe of my fellow Adelaide SAU members (driving experience and performance comments), I still thank you for including us in your invite Marlon :)

Hope it turns out well mate.

    • Pressure when IDLING, is meant to be 51PSi... So that amperage value needs to go up a fair chunk... I'd personally be factoring for more like 12amp at least on those runs, and at that point you need to hope the already there wiring doesn't drop you a volt or two, as that's a lot of fuel pressure flow drop off from 13.5 to 12V! Taking idle pressure of 51psi, means the pump will be drawing a MINIMUM of 9amps all the time based on your reading of the graph (3bar base, then allowing an extra 0.5bar for boost = roughly 51psi)
    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
