nah it's all booked, so as long as we have 12 people we will be fine. I am hoping we will get 24 racers, so we can split up into 2 separate Grand Prixs and take turns in qualifying and racing etc. I spoke with Greg and he was in, but he said Leroy was only a possible on account of his wife :cheers: Will catch up with you soon Matty for a few drinks.

Oh add a +1 for me. I'll most likely be bringing a mate along with his 180SX.

Anyone else going to the SVD Dyno Day @ Tilbrooks in the morning? Figure I might go check it out, not sure if I'll run since I had one just recently, but I could use it as an excuse to play with my boost controller some more... :)

since its all booked and there seems to be more than enough of people doing plus the fact that im a maybe, you guys/girls have fun.

Poor excuse mate, I count 22, doubtless people WILL bail on the day, and failing that you can at least come to the meet/diner earlier on to say hello.

Cummon yah bum you missed the Port Elliot cruise! :)

yep the final venue is Richmond.

We will be meeting at an undisclosed North-Eastern place for early dinner at 5:30pm then mini-cruise to Richmond. Those on the other side of town can just meet us there. For anyone that wants the info please PM me and I'll send you the meeting place and restaurant/cafe details.

Sorry I can't make the grand prix - I didn't realise that Adelaide United are playing on the same night and I've already bought a ticket. I'm keen to meet for the dinner and mini-cruise.

you have to come Duc - we really need 24 people for it to work properly. Come either way, it will be fun.

Yep no worries Matt, Leroy or Greg are of course welcome to come with me - unless Chops is coming with me, then you'll have to squeeze Greg in the back of your car :)

i didnt look at the first post to see the update, it just seemed that alot of people was posting they would come and the fact that they would bring xxxx people along made me think that there was enough. Either way, my gf just read the post and insisted that she also wanted to go - shes never been go-karting, so put me down as 2.

Good work Duc, your missus has the right idea, see you and her on Sat! :)

We don't cruise very often anymore due to the massive police presence and resultant diminished fun etc.

Especially now it's winter you will see many of the Skylines from this site home in their garages.

But keep an eye on these forums, as cruises do happen from time to time.

    • Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.
    • That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.
    • Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.
    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
