1) UHF Radio

2) Chair to sit on at the BBq

3) Santa hat? (Christmas cheer)

4) Some cash for the BBQ ($5 for 1 or $10 for 2)

5) A Full tank of fuel....we dont want to have to stop half way cause someone forgot :)

Excellant work again Chris :(

I assume all Paul had to do was inform the police of our intended route and purpose?

Thats all we've had to do in the past when holding rallies and stuff for the church.

Hey Phil,

If you live anywhere near Warners Bay, go on out and see Anthony at Tyre Power. He's always fixed me up that day for an alignment and balance.

Oh and I thought some of you might be interested in this story from today.

http://www.smh.com.au/news/general/police-...4500952647.html

Some parts of interest.

"...extra 1,000 police would be on duty on Saturday and an extra 1,500 on Sunday to prevent further outbreaks of violence.

He urged people to go about their normal end-of-year activities this weekend, including going to the beach.

"There's no restriction on going to the beach," he said.

"There are certainly legal restrictions if you are going to engage in unlawful conduct, riotous behaviour, assault malicious damage or whatever the case may be."

And as I said before, by doing the right thing now and telling the police what our (ie 30+ cars) intentions are, we should have very little problems from them.

I get the feeling that there are still alot of us sydney siders interested in a cruise.But the thread has been closed and the boys are pulling out.

I habe allready been pm'ing a few others Miss turbo and nxtime about possible other destinations to cruise to.

That was before i knew about this thread.

Do you think it wise top start another thread for a late organised cruise for this sunday to do what we originaly came out to do.Meet up with you newy boys???

Excellent organisation again!!

And yes, the santa hats WILL venture out on Sunday :)

Not sure what these Sydney boys are doing... Im too busy to read all their threads so someone else may have to PM them or something...

By the way is there anyone from Singleton going that wants to meet up somewhere and cruise down to speers point in the morning?

    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
