Great Cruise Guys, :rave:

Reminds me of the good old Dawn Run, it was great to see so many people enjoying the Mountain, I was surprised we didnt get a visit from the local constanbulary.

Thanks for allowing a Rotary in the mix, the SKYLINE was out of Rego!

Heres are few pics

Hahaha I Think I Was Following You Back Through Bells Line Rd ...hahahaha I Was In The R34

Good Day Had By All .

Yeah,

It was a great run home, I had my mate driving who couldnt believe the corner speed you can carry in an RX8, he kept backing off and all he could here from me was "Keep you foot into it and you will be surprised", it took him a while to get used to the cars phenominal handling capabilities.

The R34 looks tough, and sat thru the twisties pretty flat, see you next time

Hey,

Good to see a couple of you SAU guys joining the SNSW Bathurst cruise. I hope you all enjoyed the day, it was nice to meet those of you who attended.

It was nice to see a good turn out of cars, i think we counted near the 50 mark when we hit the mountain.

Anyhow, we should be organising another major cruise in the next 4 months or so, keep your eyes open and i hope to see you guys on our future cruises.

Regards,

Dean

    • Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.
    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
