Outline For Skyline cruise on Sunday the 26th of September

11:00am

Meet at Coomera BP/Macdonalds

11:30am

Depart for Hinze Dam

12:00pm

Arrive at Hinze damn

Good chance for people to get some pics, have a chat etc.

12:30pm

Depart hinze dam and head south on M1 to coolongatta, then take a swift left onto the Gold Coast Highway and head north. Will be turning off the Gold Coast highway at Pacific Fair onto Hooker blvd/Nerang Broadbeach rd. From here go straight through to highway and head north on M1. Take the Brisbane rd/Helensvale south exit and head down Brisbane rd and continue on to the Spit where we will wrap things up.

If anyone dosent like this route or has any other ideas feel free to comment and we will change some things around to keep everyone happy.

Hoping for a Massive turnout

sounds pretty good but if you wana go to the hasle of going up gold coast hwy then we might aswell follow it all the way to southport and then head to the spit via mirina mirage exit off gc hwy, it will save doing the big arse detor, also wen u say follow the m1 south to collangatta, were abouts in coolangatta are we gona trun the whole show around? we could exit at currumbin or something, head to the beach, lap past it and continue up the gc hwy, it will keeep us away from the coolangata cop hassles and traffic a bit.

just a few suggestions, otherwise im in and very excited about the setup, well done:)

GOR33, thanks for your input. My reason for the big arse detour is because ithought most people wouldnt want to go through surfers on a sunday arvo because of police. I myself much prefer the idea of going straight through on the Gold Coast Highway but was thinking about what others would probably prefer. As for your idea to go through Currumbin , well i think its an awesome idea, for both the reasons your mentioned. I just dont know Currumbin too well so i just kept with the Coolie idea. But anyway i think the Currumbin idea is a goer. Will make sure I change that when i post up the final route. Keep your ideas comming

Another area you might want to consider is the car park meeting area at BP Coomera for departure, we usually meet in one of the two southern area carparks at the BP not out the front of McDonalds especially on a Sunday morning, there usually just isn't the room.

2 cents

yeh no matter were we go on the coast were gona get split up,everyone should just be aware of each meeting point and things should go smoothly, i know id rather miss the arse end of the group then end up in the back of a fellow skyliner, remeber erins massive cruise, that domino effect thing along smith street was a bit scary:(

as for the currumbin thing, ill mark out the route im thinking of on a map and show ya ok, see what u think.

Rodney the main reason the domino effect happens is that for some reason people seem to think that they need to blend into the middle of the pack instead of joining on the end.

For safety reasons people, please forget about your Ego (i.e "I have to be at the front of the pack") and join on the end so that there are no accidents. We will all get there in the end.

Quite simple really :)

as far as lights/gettin split up goes the only thing i can think of is if this did happen the people at the front could just pull over, for example, if we got split up along hooker blvd/nerang broadbeach rd we could just pull into the carrara stadium carpark and regroup. No ones wants this to be stop start but if we did get majorly split up, which shouldnt happen but if it did that would prob be the way to go? keep the ideas commin, then we will use them all to finalise a route

And as far as metting at bp/maccas goes i didnt mean right out the front of maccas, all up with the maccas parks, the area where the trucks park, around the back, and bp parks, theres should be more than enough i rekon?

Hello lovers of forced induction. and peace out to mr. j_isnoll. i have been waiting to go on a good cruise for a while. i am definitely going to come along. it sounds like there is gonna be a decent turn out. i think the skipping of McthecopsarewaitingformeDonalds is a good idea. as far as getting split up i think that a good idea is that we stick to a channel on the UHF's so if someone does get lost they can just buzz on the radio. plan for a good day.

and if anyone is coming from the redlands area and is a bit faint on where there going or whatever we could meet before and cruise to the starting point(coomera i think) from somewhere in the local area.

ps. yeah that is meant to be j_insoll in the last post. my bad.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
