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.

    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
    • What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
