Massive Skyline Cruise III - Comments/Suggestions/Photos


Recommended Posts

Just starting a thread for people to post their photos and comments and suggestions to be made for the next run.

Thanks to everyone for turning up and breaking yet another record for the Massive Skyline Cruise. I believe I was told there were 87 cars (including the two cefiro's and one stagea) which still breaks last massive skyline cruises total anyway.

I personally would like to congratulate everyone for being on their best behaviour and showing to the public that we really are normal people there to help others out.

I would also like to personally thank Mike (Oz) for his contribution to the foundation. He was the highest single donater for the day. Thanks Mike! :)

Just to let you all know, I will be personally handing over the cash to the B105 Christmas Appeal this coming Friday morning at the Royal Childrens Hospital. So be listening to the radio this Friday :)

But yeah, once again, thanks to everyone that made the effort to donate money and to maybe save a childs life.

As it stands, there was $593.65 donated in cash on the day with the official total to be finalised at the end of the auction.

Andrew will be posting pics tonight. Also, anyone (looking at Knore here) with video footage and photos, could you please email them to me at skyzer @ optushome.com.au so Andrew can compile a nice little video of the day.

PS and also thanks to the cop for donating his $2.50 when I bailed him up at the Lake :(

Can't half tell I was nervous. Thanks to B105 for sending it through to me :(

:headbang:

What an awsome turnout!!! So many nice cars!! I spent most of the time walking around taking pics of them all. Nice meeting you to nismogirl even though i didnt introduce myself, i was riding in the burgandy r33 with the big arrow decals down the side and the big twin cannons you parked next to at the lake. Good to see everyone was very friendly and well behaved. :) It's also good to put faces to names and cars. I took about 130 pics hahah then run out of memory :(

To those who unfortunately missed a good cruise, if you would still like to donate, drop me a PM and I'll pass over my bank details.

You'll have till Thursday morning at the lastest to have the money in my account.. So transferred no later than Tuesday night.

Yeah i saw you go past and waited for you to park but you did a lap then took off! You should have stayed, had many good chin wags with the other line owners, all in all it was a great day :)

This was my first and best skyline cruise ever - I'll be back for more. I remember driving on one of those longs roads and all I could see was skylines to the front and back of me. It would have to of been at least 3 kilometers of skylines. I view I Will treasure forever :(

After I have a big snooze I'll post up some of my pictures and make some suggestions if I can think of any.

    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
    • The video for the servicing and fuel filter change can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44 One of the main jobs I wanted to do before the car officially went on the road, was to remove the awful looking blue silicone hoses. There's nothing wrong with having coloured silicone hoses, but I realise as I'm getting older I prefer monotone engine bays with a splash of colour on the engine cover(s). I cover this in a lot more detail in the Youtube video, so unfortunately there's limited photos of the process. The intercooler, upper radiator, boost vacuum and upper breather hoses were all changed to black silicone with mikalor clamps. The only blue left is a blanking cap at the back of the inlet manifold and the GReddy pulleys (which will be replaced for stock when the cambelt gets replaced) While the intercooler pipes were off I gave them a quick clean/polish too A before photo I do have a replacement air filter on its way. Fuse box covers were painted blue, they're now satin black Another job on the list while the bumper was off, is to add some mesh https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737966256_99b28bfa30_c.jpg[/img] I was hoping to use some thin wire to secure it, but it seems I've misplaced it and the wire I had was too thick to twist easily. I ended up using cable ties for the time being https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131882_c2b7989dcc_c.jpg[/img] Was pleasant to see this https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131627_8b2aab13b3_c.jpg[/img] The last thing to do was to fix the front grill and re-mesh that to match but I ran out of time The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4FsF6tgizE&t=23s
