Well I want to go for a cruise, and I know Ewen and Andrew (skygtrline) seem keen for a cruise... so Im goin for a cruise :) Anyone who wishes to come along is more than welcome.

-- MEETING DETAILS --

WHEN: Saturday 21st May, 9:00AM for 9:30AM departure

WHERE: Gull service station, Monaro Highway Hume.

-- WHERE IM GOING --

Cruising down through Cooma and Jindabyne, then onto Alpine way up to Charlottes Pass via Perisher Blue. Yes it will be cold, yes if its raining it will be icy and I probably wont go. Other than that, roads should be fine, theyre good roads as well ("serviced" every year), nice and wide with open sweeping corners. Theres also BP Ultimate availible on both Cooma and Jindabyne for all your petrol supplies (albeit, usually 5 - 10c per litre more than what we pay here). Should get to Charlottes Pass by 12:30PM, dick around, frolick in the snow, then head back towards Jindabyne for some food and a drink/beer/whatever.

If you want in, just say so here and will see you on the day :)

EDIT: Theres also a $16 cost per vehicle to enter the national park. So its not "cheap" as compared to a small cruise to Orroral etc, but it is a fun drive, nice and scenic and long, and cold weather = cars like to boost more :D

EDIT AGAIN: At this point in time, I have posted this on Shogun forums as well and would prefer it not to go onto any other forums. There -WILL- be police heading down to cooma at least, and possibly even up to Jindabyne (ski season starts 2 weeks after this cruise, so they will be upping their presence) and trying to avoid any unsocial behaviour some other unamed clubs have displayed in the past. The police down that way are a very friendly bunch, and will not have any problems with us as long as were not doing any obvious forms of dangerous driving (aka "FULLY SIK DORIFTO BRO~!")

Can't apply for time off? :)

no mate, no can do. Saturdays are our biggest day of the week, and what with my chicken pox (3 weeks off) taking my b'day off last week and going to Europe for 6weeks in July, im probably pushing my luck asking for a saturday off to go for a cruise.......sigh

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      By Hendasto · Posted

      Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.

      Are RBs worth building reliability wise

      By Hendasto · Posted

      At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!

      Thanks MBS206, i got that PDF but got abit overhelm with all the connections and tracing of wires. I wasn't expecting to plug the dash harness anywhere. i was just going to use my electronics jumper wires to plug into the right pins like ECU power, ecu ground, ignition trigger etc... I do have a few ratchet straps locking it down tight. Fire extinguisher ready and only a small amount of fuel at a time, enough to submerge the pump.

      https://yariksteel.ru/manual/R33/Skyline_R33_elektroprovodka.pdf   Page 18 should be what you want for the Dash Cluster wiring. Though, you don't need the dash plugged in to get the motor running. What you want is power as how GTSBoy said. You need to power the ECU. Find in the above link the ECU pin outs (Verify them before just connecting them up from things written on the internet). Find anything needing power, give it power, find anything needing ground, give it ground. Then give the starter motor power through a big cable, and bridge the solenoid on the starter straight to power too.  ECU will be on, and when you give the starter power, it'll spin the starter motor, and it should start. I also hope you have a proper stand, and not just the engine sitting on some wood. You will want it bolted down properly.
