yeah when i was turning around on anzac highway around 1-130ish i ended up following 5 or so nice r33s through town. i think they'd taken off from that red emblem cruise by the sounds of it. had fun cruisin with em tho even if i just happened to tag along! after that just stopped at west tce shell station then cruised back up nth with my mates in a xr6t ute and vl turbo and another fella in a schmick as candy red 4 door 33. plates were vambex or somethin like that.

Yep yep..the candy red 33 was definetely on the cruise. Initially there were about 8 skylines, and 3 DR31's....but they stayed at the car park. It was alright...and managed to stay together suprisingly. There were a few cops down the bay, but i was on the opposite side of the road so was able to smile at them :D

Once arrived at the city was a little harder to keep together.

so wot 11 ppls shared the raffle prize pool or there was no raffle

I wasn't there at the end. Some cop pulled over my brother for the sake of it. And when he didnt defect him cause he couldn't, he told my bro that some car with the same description (black 32 with white front BN bumper on - how many people have single part of body kit driving around with exact same color) was stolen and used for ram raids.

Either way, for the sake of it i pulled behind the un-marked car and was witness and listened on the discussion ..so i wasn't with the group at the last stop. So it would be prize pool between 9 :lol:

Yeh i was in hinley street about to walk in Red square when i saw like 5 - 6 skylines cruzing by.

Saturday night in hinley was packing with cops....

Like Nozila said, sounded like a "look at me CruIZe" :D

if it was the same car wouldnt his front end show signs of ram raid damage :S

My thoughts EXACTLY!! :blink: Honestly, they have been picking on him since he put a harassment charge on one of the bike coppers a while back. He's been pulled over almost consistantly each time a cop reads his number plate - the good thing is that the cop that initially started all of it got scorned by the sargeant (i cant spell sorry) for putting a defect notice which never occured when he went through regency :O .

any1 go? i didnt make it...saw a few skylines driving around at about 2am ish...

Noticed that you weren't there, even though i've never met you before :blink: There was a very nice R33 with gold rims that came, was nice.....that is besides the candy apple red 4 door 33

haha DC_GTST

didnt sound like a big cruise...i been on holden cruise in the past with my mate and there was like 50 or more cars...we need 2 do a cruise like that...they even let the cops know they hold the cruise n the cops come along n they dont have any probs...any1 like that idea or have a better1?

nah vange - these are the exact OPPOSITE of cruises that SAU people (in general) want to be involved in. The more people you have, the less control you have. The more P plater bogans rocking up, the more attention you get from the cops, and the more we become 'known' to them and make ourselves targets. Far better to keep it small groups by invitation/PM only - that way you avoid the nasty image associated with cruises ie. accidents, defect stops, pubilc nuisance etc etc - indeed if you like those things head on out on an IMFS, nissansilvia or PSI cruise :blink: (said tongue-in-cheek for any members of said groups who are offended by this comment). :P - I have been on a number of these type of cruises and whilst kind of fun (if you count being stuck behind some f**kwit in an old laser {that he thinks is heaps quick but is slow as shite} or similar through the hills as fun) they are not that great. Pretty much every one I have been on there is a major accident or defect blitz. I got stuck in the Newton shopping centre for over 2 hours last ns.com cruise I went on :O - some dickhead in a PT Cruiser that thinks he has the best stereo in the world cranked it right up at minight and attracted every cop in a 5km radius - so they blocked off the carpark entry/exits and proceeded to (or attempt to) defect pretty much every car in the carpark. :rolleyes:

yeh i know wat u mean andrew, when theres idiot drivers it stuffs up the cruise, but yeh i dont mind small 1's, but i just thought it would b nice 2 have 50 skylines driving through town n every1 going 'wowwwwwww' lol but yeh i went on a holden cruise last yr n some idiot decided to drift through the car park and into the carwash bays n slammed into the wall n just drove off haha idiot, then this guy in a xr8 came and tried 2 show off 2 the holdens by doing a burnout infront of them, and as he did it 4 cop cars surrounded him hahahaha.

I guess once bitten...twice shy, hey Andrew. I was fortunate to have missed that Newton car park fiasco.

Vange: Even if u have a large cruise & let the cops know its no guarantee that people will not act likes hoons or stop the police from defecting u. This was demonstrated in the last charity cruise that went down to Victa, where I was told there was like 1 cop for every 5 cars & more money was raised from fines & defects. Not the type of cruise u'd want to go on.

Ive also found that the cruises kept small & oraganised through emails/ PMs have all gone with out a hitch. Also, I know that the police have a rating (1-6) for each meet/ hot spots which, u should be aware of when selecting meet spots. They normally have undercover patrolling these spots :D.

Last night, drving along some rd past city, having my 3 mates in my skyline i see a Red skyline with some werid looking spoiler in the rear mirror.

He gun it! n took over me pretty bad... I hope u feel hardcore...over taking a non turbo with 3dudes in da car.

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
