Three cheers to the Sam and whoever helped him.

no worries, will. should be a great day. Duc, helped with the route & Darren helped with the 'southern meet group' and some further roads. also you organised the food afterwards. :)

yes i did. no one is perfect, at night it was fine. during the day with a different car as a cruiser + the speed i was going didnt help. does that mean you aint come?  :) 

your gtr still in rwd mode?

Just giving you $h1+ Duc. :)

No offense intended. Sure I'll be there. Yeah the GTR is still in rwd. Tried to get the auto electrician who worked on it before out this week but he's on holidays. Have been trying to get the white GTR ready for sale - it failed its first trip to Regency.

For those who didnt make it, here is a rundown of the cruise.

The 2 groups met up at Ingle farm and headed off. The roads were a bit wet so the pace was quite moderate. On the way down the George we passed a Cop Bike, who promptly did a U turn and sat in behind the 2nd car. He followed us all the way through to Loberthal (How many other clubs get a police escort) at 60 km/hr

When we got out he mentioned he heard some wheel spin and that a cars wheels had crossed a double white line. He let us go without any problems (no "let me see under the bonnet" etc) I guess a group of imports going down the George is usually an indication someone will be speeding or doing something silly, so I guess I cant blame him for following us. It ended up beeing a waste of his time.

After the regroup we headed off to Mt Lofty Summit for a chat. The weater started to turn bad and people went on their own way from there.

It was good to put faces to the names on here. See you on the next cruise, hopefully the weather is a bit better and the roads more challenging.

Yeah the weather turned a bit dismal in the end, I was hoping it would have been nice and sunny like the rest of the week. I only got about 12 Pictures compare to about 50 I got on the last cruise.

The police escort was a bit rare, wonder if he enjoyed the cruise? He didn’t seem too concerned though, just checked our licences and that was about it.

Other than that it was good to catch up with everyone and meet some new people.

Looking forward to the next cruise, hopefully with better weather. Ill post pics sometime during the week.

Cheers,

Sam

My sincerest apologies for not making it out. I didn't get my car back in time (getting alarm installed by Alan at Powerplay Autosound & Security).

I was feeling a bit seedy after the engagement party last night as well :(

I'll try and make it out to the next cruise, it'd be good to meet up with some fellow Skyline enthusiasts!

Cheers,

Alan

yeh pitty about the weather and that man in Leathers, but all is good, finnaly got to put some faces and cars with names, nice to meet you all. Summers comeing boys and girls, might have to run that Victor cruise you boys were talking about.

Ghosty, yeh i'll take it, but will have to next weekend, if that is all good! If it goes by then.......thats cool i'll take the next one, cheers fella.

cheers people

Darren

My apologies also; just had way too many things to do around the house before I have my 7th right-knee surgery this wednesday.

Apologies to you all, would have loved to show of my silky white pearl Stagea RB25det wagon, but hopefully I will be right to drive again in 6weeks time (I hope!!, see how this knee pulls up).

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
