Great day yesterday, It was good to see you guys again and meet some new skyline owners. Here is the link to the central coast cruise i was talking about:

hahaha anton, u legend....my car looks like its the head of the pack...hahaha. ill get around to uploading those pics when i get home from work...

monthly cruise idea definatly sounds good.

good to catch up with some normal people with common intrests, look forward to seeing you all again.

cheers

Linton

yeah I was thinking about coming along on the cruise. thing is I don't really go in much on cruises. I was gonna post up and ask how much social and how much is driving, i know it's sound stupid, but i'd prefer the social side of things... haha

How many of the skyline owners down at the foreshore are from here....I'd feel like an idiot just rocking up "you guys from SAU? no..umm....nice weather eh?"

Sorry, I am good when I know ppl, but heaps shy when I don't.

Anyone know who the other silver 4dr 32 owner is? or is he/she not part of these forums?

eXc....thats what i did...haha... just rocked up and said hey. some old dude with a young chicky babe rocked up aswell...looked at a few cars, hardly said a word, and then took off.

ive been on a few cruises over the years...not saying im an expert though, if you get there on or before the posted time, there is a good chance to socialise and its easier to meet ppl as they turn up, rather than you rocking up to a large group. before and after the cruise theres alot of conversations going on, also talking through windows at traffic lights and what not. its just a good day. bring a friend if you dont like driving on your own, or organise to jump in someone elses car..

we dont bite....and we all like skylines, no matter what they are... hell there was an atmo s13 silvia that rocked up and noone cared that it wasnt a skyline, he was a pretty cool guy.

just come along next cruise and hang out. if you dont wanna cruise, then you dont have to, just come up and say hey.

cheers

Linton

Yea the guy in the silvia was my mate.

I saw that silver 4 door as well.

Also eXc the day pretty much went like this for me.

Went for a drive and did a few laps, had lunch.

Went to the meeting point half a hour early and 1 other skyline was there.

Talked to him and over the next hour 12 or so others showed up... we all talked for another hour or so then decided to go for a little cruise to spears point.

Drove there and parked, people took some more pics and talked for another hour or so.

Theen it was getting dark and cold so we all parted. Was a mad day. Not 1 cop bothered us either!

Come on the next one to the central coast!

hey guys

tops day!

The sight and sound of so many performance cars running across the top of Charlestown was awesome!

Much better than our pathetic 3-4 car cruises we have once in a blue moon.

My pics are up in my gallery

Hope to do it again soon as it was great meeting you guys and just standing around talking for ages.

eXc i was in the same position not knowing anyone.

Meeting Dean randomly the day before helped me brush up on my interactive skills a bit before meeting all the other boys. Top bunch, i thought that there may have been one or two snobs in the group, but nopes, everyone was freindly and stuff! When i got home my girl said that she couldnt believe the smile on my face, it was seriously great fun, especially the drive through Charlestown next to that rex :P

Ohhh, the only bad part was when i missed the turn off to Warners Bay LOL!!!!

What do you guys think of those little UHF hand held radio's?

Or is that a bit too over the top? Cause i really could have used it when i missed the turn and didnt know where to go, cause i didnt have anyone mobile phone mubers either...

Here's a link to those UHF talkies...(Click here)

yeah we use two ways on our cruises.

Helps with directions, and if people get caught at lights, but once you start knowing everybody else a bit more it's actually a lot more fun to chat while your driving :P

Especially if your the only one in your car.

Only problem we've found so far with them is that they become virtually useless around the Sydney area because of the amount of others using the airwaves down there.

But those of us clever enough not too live in a capital city don't have to worry about that too much now do we :headspin:

UHF's are good, i have one in the car all the time, but usually no one has one or their batteries are flat. If you have one bring it along to the next cruise...definetly helps if you get lost or miss turn offs. hehe

So how many of the skyline drivers down at the foreshore are members on here? Is it most them?

Is the foreshore still as crowded as it used to be? Or has it calmed down? I know on Sunday it was calm as...but I was told there was some event there or something.

hi all, We go cruising to newcastle every weekend from the central coast and hang out at the foreshore with all my another mate (mostly all nissan) which looks good with all the another nissan up there because there are heaps of them. so far 2 of us are members with a skyline R32 4door and a R33 4door.

p.s. those UHF's are great we use them all the time its good fun.

Kmart is the best place to get them 4 handheld cb's 40 chanels for only $90 go to the cd and moblie phone section. injoy.

iva always thought those uhfs were a great idea, but thought it was lame to bring it up...nice to others are as lame as me

they'd save heaps of money on mobiles and make it easier to talk to others while driving.

or thr front runner could just have a megaphone set up like the cops haha, that would be mad.

just wondering if anyone else from this small nit group is at all keen on drifting?? as in track days and stuff like that.

ive just ordered some pinapples, spin turn knob and a hicas cancelling bar.

ill get those pics up soon...

cheers

Linton

Hey guys. Have to say the cruise was good fun. Never been on one before so its good to see such a nice bunch of cars in one place :kewl: Linton im hearing you on the drifting thing. Only thing is we probably have to go to eastern creek/oran park. Thats a bit of a drive. How much did the pinapples cost as im thinking of getting a set to. :D

    • neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.
    • Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock. 
    • Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
    • Shimmed or shimless, still solid, no hydraulic pump up stuff.
    • They have said food will be limited. Mainly meat pies and sausage rolls from memory. But they have a coffee van!
