I had a great day thanks to SAU Qld for a well run cruise. Special thanks to Erin you did a grand job. At least the weather held out untill the end, I was lucky to miss the worst of it.

On the Ipswich motorway I set the cruise ctrl and about 3 bends before the tolls I hit a puddle (no rain) looked like just wet tarmac but aquaplaned me sideways for awhile, scary stuff. lucky there was no traffic.

Thanks to all you guys and girls for turning up and making this such a worthwhile event to run. Makes the cutting of 5 kilos of onions worth while :)

The official tally so far for funds raised at todays events totals $2500. Awesome effort guys! Special thanks to Giant from the forums for his personal contribution of $500 and a matching of that contribution with another $500 from his business RGM Maintenance Pty Ltd, making that a total donation of $1000 from one person!

Outstanding efforts guys! I'll be donating this money in person again at the RCH on Friday morning, so keep an ear out on B105 friday morning around 8am for the donation to be made :D

If all of you's had of hung around at the dam for an extra 30 or so minutes, you would have all missed the storms/rain and driven through some huge puddles that were heaps of fun!!

Once again, thanks to everyone that participated and made this event worthwhile yet again..

PS: I would like to apologise to the familes who's children heard my speech at Aspley car park, but unfortunately, those things have to be said so the idiotic behaviour is kept to a minimum.

Damn that was a fun day, i had a ball apart from my car playing up, and have a great truckie tan on my right arm from driving. I have to say i am amazed at the friendlyness of the people that came, not one single person was unpleasant wich is a far cry to what i am used to on the sunny coast (excluding all the skyline lads and a few others, you know where ya's are :):D). I cant wait for another outing like this, was a real pleasure meeting people in person.

Here's my 32 dwaffed by the r33 and r34 haha.

Erin thanks for organising the day, with help I am sure.

Sorry I left before you all left Aspley, I had family arrangements that were unavoidable.

I did however, stand along Albany Creek Rd and watch you all go past!!!!

Awesome sight, not to mention the Red Monaro Highway Patrol that followed...

The whole thing was pretty good for the size of the cruise. Just 2 things we might have to implement for the next one.

** workshops that brings car to advertise there ware should contribute a sizable donation and in return, get to set up table and hand out promotional brochures at designated points.

** ppls need to wear a tag of their nick, as I got tire, after the 100 time I asked ppls what their nick is after talking to them for 5 mins.

just a thought.

I dont think any worksops brought along any demo cars tbh?

none that i noted?

mick

hahaha

lol

:D

exactly my point. i own my car not the workshop. i dont work there, i just agree to put stickers on it as does willo :)

:(

anyyyway, awesome day.

keep all the pics coming!

Well, yesterday was fantastic. We had an awesome time. Some of those views after the turn-off to somerset dam were incredible :D

Thanks must go to everyone who joined in to help (ESPECIALLY ERIN for organising the whole thing!). Can't wait for the next one now :)

Anna

Awesome day, a huge thanks to Andrew, Dave, James etc for their efforts, they are most definitely appreciated. A special thanks to Erin too for being the driving force (excuse the pun :( ) behind the whole day and doing so much of the behind-the-scenes stuff that makes a day like this go as smoothly as it did.

AND... I believe this cruise lets us reclaim the throne to the BIGGEST SKYLINE MEET IN THE SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE, beating the previous best of 99 which (if memory serves) was set by SAU NSW. Good effort people :P

Great day! awesome amount of funds raised and a great drive.

Luckily I went the back way to the goldcoast, so missed the worst of the storms, but it also cut off part of the fun too :(

Overall went pretty well.. only disappointing thing was to see every hero do a burnout as they left though in a public park <_<

THANKS FOR A GREAT DAY GUYS!!

I was amazed at the good sensible driving displayed.

I had a great day, very well run, just wish i had stayed at the dam and missed the storm. (also had to take care of the other gtr that shit a turbo)

i thought it was a great thing to be part of, and it meant a fair bit to me as i have a three week old boy!! :(

well done Erin and co.!! good job

Hope to see some of you wednesday.

Cheers Russell

There was one following us? Those 2 police cars at aspley musta got scared and called in the big boys! :lol:

So what was the total car count in the end anyone know?

Well I lost count around the 80's as people went past...I was almost in tears laughing at you all trying to leave the Hyperhole...

Oh and yes he was following you...from a mate I think he kep going along Old Northern Road though, this one is based in Strathpine...

Thanks guys for a great day (Think i'v heard that before :( )

All you guys insist on living in Brisbane and the Gold Coast ie Storm Central. Come live up the Sunshine coast as its named that for a reason :) We cruised back from the dam through Peachester with Sunny weather and minimal cars only had to overtake a couple of 'sunday drivers'. Sorry to the car Red R33 GTSt behind me as we overtook a sunday driver, I hope my flames didn't scorch your paint work :P:D:D

Thanks again guys & gals, got some good pics.

Who was the mad bugger lying on the sweeping right hander coming up the range with a dam big camera? He would have some crackers if he's still alive :D

See you all next time

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
