good cruise guys, i enjoyed winding roads and the warm weather untill it started 2 rain. When the rain started on some big bend, i could feel my back end comming out, thank god for 4 wheel steer.

Also, the scariest thing happend, at the start of the cruise... on a sharp long left turn, i sware this 180sx on the other side of the rd missed me by cm's, he was at least a meter in on my side of the rd...

Yeh i noticed most were r33's, would have been nice 2 c some r34's and a few more GTR's...maybe next time, as the weather will be getting better so we should do this again soon.

do you guys run 4 wheel steer, mine has a lock bar. and with coilovers [low, hard]

wheelspin is a issue, especially in the wet :blink:

great cruise, was really fun through the twisties.

i think you where behind us on the corner, my brother had to swerve, he was cm's from our car too, the guy in the (180sx/300zx) was heaps far into our lane!... scary stuff..

great cruise though :D

Big thanks to Guy and all for a great day. Great route spoilt only by the rain and some shitty traffic.

Very nice cars that you all have, put the old poverty pack beast to shame.

Gee, didn't notice any traction problems though. mmmm, oh yes thats right, bugger all rwkw does that. :D

Apologies to anyone I didn't speak with, I was in full bullsh_t mode most of the day.

Lets do it again soon.

Cheers

lol i dunno if i use it or not, just whatever i did made me stay straight n not sideways lol

maybe next time we have a get together, ill get u guys to have a look at my car n tell me what its got, i know sum stuff about cars but not that much :P

bloody idiot...prob thought hed show off when he saw the first few skylines....

the best guy was near the end...the guy hanging out the window shouting "YEAHHHHHHH" lol

throughout cruise towards gods know where - i didnt have a map, but the 1st stop point, the white mr2 was close to my arse. now i have an open mind bout cars but i didnt know that it was that fast, didnt happen to be turbs was it (bathurst edn?) - im sure i heard a psshh of some sort from it. either way, nice car you have their mate.

yeah Julian's MR2 definitely is turbs - I went for a burn in it for a while on the cruise - it is remarkably fast, and I had underestimated it too!! It is very weird having the blow-off valve 'pssssht' coming from behind your head!

I went for a burn in it for a while on the cruise

taking bout going for a burn, i wonder how the s15 would have coped on those twisties in the hills - i think that where we were heading back to adel. could have shown us some powerslide/power over demonstrations - i know i know you aint into drifting :P . but thats the exact reason why the sil80 didnt come out, hills+tight corners+wet roads+sr20=shit my pants. on that note, how was your controlling of the 200sx Leo? any of these mentioned desciptions happen to you? :lol:

yeah I was too paranoid about bending/scraping it on the cruise to take her in the hills (as you know both bumpers plus some other bits were painted at Prestige last week). But she is totally built for it - you would not believe the speed you can push it into corners and she just leans in and holds. But yes, it is suprisingly easy if you don't know what you are doing to unweight and start sliding. It is all about tyre choice really .... pretty much all tyres up to my current set would spin up in the twisties. Except of course my Toyo T1-S that lasted a whole 7,000km of street use :P

pretty much all tyres up to my current set would spin up in the twisties

that would have been a nice challenge against Will's ls1 and of corse viewing pleasure. who can spin their wheels the most and longest :) surprisingly nobody challenged him, were such a bunch of pansy's!! :P

hehe yeah, its a jap spec mr2... none of this non-turbo aus spec nonsense :D

handles like a gokart - much fun :D

suspension is pretty stiff combined with 40 profile tyres, its skips alot over bumpy surfaces which isn't so good through corners.

Considering it's virtually stock, it goes alright. Would love to do some mods, but I have other financial plans so it's hard to justify :D

I am very impressed with the grip/handling of S15's... my mate has one and it is amazing.

As you say Andrew, tyre choice is a big factor. Think I might give some Potenza S03's a go for my next set. They come highly recommended.

i bet the mr2 handles like a go-kart.

my sil80 doesnt like to grip at all, must be the advan avoera's i have.

for the next cruise, would be nice to see some variety in the skyline family...more 34's and r32's not to mention stagea's

Speaking of Stagea's where where you bwilkinson???????? still havn't seen your machine yet! Definatly need some 34's hint hint Andrew hint hint. My mate will be getting his 2 door black 34 soon, from compliance! will have to get him out also!

Sorry didn't make it to the BBQ on Sunday and get to meet you all. Sporting a real good hang over and wanted to get back home before it got dark and those large grass hoppers (Roos) started getting around. Was a good day apart from the rain. Keep me posted for the next one.

    • Hi GTSBoy, Excuse my ignorance but what does a "Bad" Knee point mean ? 
    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
