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.

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).

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
