Well guys I had a great time.

I only saw Ryan

Onarun

shell

miss S13 and GTR BOY and a few others.

I was the guy with the green WRX.

Did I miss out being intoduced to anyone?

Next time we should just have a cruise of our own because I would of liked to meet up with all you guys on a more personal level instead of being rushed by the silviansw guys.

Anyway I really had a great time and the only disapointing thing was I didnt get to chat to your shell much longer. Next time when we have a canberra cruise we need to have dinner or lunch and chat ok.

I loved the look you gave me when I hugged you and you were thinking "who the f**k is this guy" LOL. Thanks shell:D

i'm sure we'll run into each other soon.

on the way home on the glebe island bridge i saw a silver r33 (RUS-32T i think) bounced off one wall and into another. must have lost it going pretty fast cause car was wrecked hard. one of the guys looked hurt too. must have driven past just after the acco cause there was no one there yet. poor guy

Knobs eh? Well your bloody charming aint ya ????

I must say that as one of the knobs we got sick of waiting around for over an hour, the whole cruise was completely disorganised and we made a move to get the show on the road.

Its a pity you guys couldn't KEEP UP, even though we weren't pushing it too hard and were constantly waiting and stopping allowing people to catch up.

If you call getting booked for crossing a double white line getting "nailed HARD" then I hate to see what happens when our friendly mister officer busts someone for drag racing or impounds their car... now that would be "nailed HARD".

On a whole all our member were quite irritated by the lack of organisation and waiting around.... when we usually go cruising we have had nothing but fun for the whole nite, no constaint waiting for people and no spending over an hour deciding on whats happening... we like to plan ahead.

Hey mayhem,

Please dont take Nick's (BY BY) comments as views of the Skylines Australia club, he is speaking on his own behalf and I dont think we should be calling ANYBODY knobs.

Unfortunatly, I missed you guys as I had to work last nigt and ended up catching the dudes at thornleigh at around 1:30-ish.

I also like cruises to be organised and I am not sure what happened before i met them up, but i do know that lots happened that wasn't discussed before cruising (ie, destinations that nobody was aware of, routes etc).

Myself and a few others will be heading up the coast tomorrow for a bit of an easy run, meeting at 12 at thornleigh macca's, it'd be good to meet a few of you silvia boys, why dont you come along?

PranK,

Good to see some decent people around :P Sorry if I lost my temper, but its comments like BY BY's that really get my blood boiling.

I can understand not posting the details of the cruise for reasons of cop attention etc etc.... but when we got there last night nothing was said and we had to try and find out what was going on... in the end we made a decision to get the show on the road.

As for the cruise tomorrow... unfortunately I am completely out of cruise time for the next two weeks because of my final Uni exams, but I will see if anyone else wants to give it another go.

Hey mayhem,

We usually post all cruise details regardless of cop attention because the majority of our cruises are sedate and calm. We generally dont go out of our way to run each other.. again, i wasn't there, so i dont know why that was arranged.

I can understand why BY BY's comments pissed you off.

Anyway, bummer that you can't come tomorrow! (whats uni anyway?? :P ) But you should definately come to one of our other cruises.

Do you guys have forums on your site? In future I will post details of our cruises there FYI.

Christian.

PranK,

When I say cop attention I mean just the fact that cops see us is enough problem, we usually also have quite sedate (to a degree) cruise, but cops hassle imports no matter what... always trying to defect cars.

Uni = University (studying IT).

Yeah we sure have forums... http://www.silviansw.com/forum/ feel free to sign up and advertise cruises in the cruise section :P

Once Uni is over I will be spending some time getting my car back on the road... (puting an S14 SR20DET into my S13).

Speak to you again in a couple of weeks.

Bwahahha... sorry mate... too much study and I am just not thinking properly.

Usually I would agree Uni doesn't mean much... but these are my last 3 subjects and then I graduate finally after 3.5 years :) so yeah it means a bit.

Besides since my S13 is off the road at the moment I have to rely on lifts from generous members of the club to let me bum around in their cars on cruises (yes yes I am the SilviaNSW car s**t).

Just my crappy 2 cents worth......I didn't go on that run to Thrash,,,I went on that cruise thinking thats what it was going to be,,, a Cruise. Personally I don't think it was ever meant to be anything else but a Cruise. I just think it got a bit bigger than we thought.

Mayhem,,,I came home a little pissed off as well,,,now I'm more pissed off,,,because you Silvia guys have the shits.

Sorry you had to wait for me,,,yea I think I was the last one into Gosford Macca's ,,,,but keep in mind I was the one that led the coppers away from you all at the Service Station.......We are not all bad.

By By looks like your in the dog box buddy,,,wana share the dooner with Monty,,,,

I only have the shits with stupid comments from BY BY, as do most of our members, its just uncalled for.

We are just used to meeting up, talking for 30 mins or so and then going cruising.... and so some people got a little impatient.

We dont usually thrash it, although some of the head people like to push it a bit more, but they always stop and wait up to be fair for others.

Thanks for leading the law away from us... much appreciated.

All I can say is that next time I hope it works out better, I think this was just a once off thing... the night had a "bad feel" about it, and it turned out to be true.

Nice to meet you Minh, and everyone else i met. Also good to catch up with those of you who i've met before. Was a good meeting even tho it was dis-organised. BY BY, i think you've gotta cool down a bit. We don't really want bad blood between Silvia NSW and Skylines Australia because of comments like that man.

See my thread about the next Sydney cruise, add your thoughts on it there.

    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
