Well it's finally here! The scouting has been done and the pace notes written. Now it's time for all of you skyliners to show your support and break records!

This Massive Skyline Cruise (MSC) has been organised this time round to involve kiddies/wives/husbands/uncles/aunties/grandparents for a great family day out. HELL, bring the dog if you so desire.

Date: 28th November 2004

Time: 9:30am for a 10:00am departure

Location: Aspley HyperMarket Carpark. The carpark closest to the intersection of Albany Creek Road and Gayford Street/Maundrell Terrace.

Requirements: Skyline of any make/model. UHF Radio and a sense of adventure. FULL TANK OF PETROL! I can't stress this enough.

Destination: Lake Baroon. Gorgeous picturesque views of the lake and surrounding mountains. PLENTY OF PARKING. This location is up north out past Maleny/Beerwah/Woodford.

We did the scouting run around the time that we are going to set off on this cruise. There was very minimal traffic around this time of the morning. Trip is a good one and a half to two hours with stops scheduled in between for stretching the kiddies legs and toilet stops.

As mentioned, there are tables and bbq areas for those that bring their own food. There is also a canteen thing that provides fresh sandwiches, breadrolls, refreshments and icecreams. I will be phoning them to let them know of our intentions and to have extra food on hand for this particular day.

There are also lake activities at this spot. You can hire a boat/paddler/canoe and investigate the lake closer (I have information on the prices for these activities). There is a playground to keep the kiddies (or parents) entertained. If you feel the need to do some exercise, theres a bush walking track.

Once people have consumed their food and had a good break, we will be heading back east towards the Bruce Highway where people can choose to either go back to Brisbane or continue onto the Sunshine Coast for some sunday afternoon laps.

This cruise has specifically been set up for during the day so that it gives families a great day out, as well as some great photo/video opportunities.

Lets break the record of 77 skylines from the last MSC!! Let all your friends know and be there or be square. I am giving you over 6 weeks notice.

There will be no irresponsible behaviour or driving tollerated on this cruise.

Stagea's and Cefiros are invited to participate in this cruise if they wish.

It's probably worth drawing everyones attention to the recent media coverage of the EVLR34 crash in NSW... Once again, a stupid mistake by the driver of a Skyline has brought even more unwanted attention on us a community...

On Sunday, whilst we are "cruising for the kids", a HEAP of modified car owners are having a memorial cruise for those who lost their lives in the EVLR34 crash... It is a sad time, that's for sure, but I don't think we should let that stop us from having a good time...

What I will ask though, is for us ALL to be on our best behaviour on Sunday... Lets stick to the speed limits, keep the rubber on our tyres, and leave the racing for the track... We've all had our "fun" before on other "cruises", but IMO, Sunday is not the day for that sort of thing...

We will be on display as a community, so lets not make our image any worse to the general population... We're in the bad books as it is...

    • Dear folks My family members have 4 different cars : Triton 2015 and Corolla 2011 and Mazda3 2012 and Hyundai Elantra 2014 Looking to buy engine oil funnel spill free What I found are are below  https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BBTTJNKX?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image&th=1 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/145553221359?srsltid=AfmBOoqYBU6Ptw0LU_bAp_k67U3qkF97HHvePkA7iHZw8vUmiwoIRaRr https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09X23TCS5?th=1 Is there a funnel with attachment that fits most cars ? Don't mind to spend for a decent quality  Thx  
    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
