As per comments in another post I (and others) have put forward ideas on having a big daytime cruise and another group activity which involves everyone getting to know each other.

Points brought up so far include:

1. all wear name badges with name and nick

2. take a photo of every member and their ride, to put up on a 'Who's Who' page on this site

3. some form of eating whether it be picnic or the Crown Pub @ Victor

4. cruise to Victor (open to other ideas)

5. possible paintball skirmish at Wirrina Resort (Victor Harbour) - as this is something just about every guy wants to do, but never does it.

Now we have sort of formed a committee comprising Myself (Nightcrawler), Paul (Pawley), Matt (Whatsisname) and Erica (Cheeky). Anyone else wanna be an 'organiser'.

So .... please, PLEASE add any ideas suggestions, ideas, likes, dislikes, or just tell me to piss of back to hole I came from etc. etc.

:D

Proposed/possible date Sunday (for Erica) 30th March (for Paul).

Totally open to other ideas/dates/organisers!

Just a suggestion - but the Victor thing has been done to death

a bit lately.The Murray Bridge Idea is cool 'cause it's different & includes twisty & long straights.If we went up through Birdwood then took Palmer Road to MB there would be a good mix of roads & some excellent photo opportunities.I happen to know a guy with a ski boat too - although I'm pretty hopeless at it.

We could return on the freeway.Be a great day trip & means sitting around admiring all the cars while waiting for a turn behind the boat(which is a firebird with a 400 chev) & perfect for a BBQ.

See what happens.

John u r da man .... bring on the hydraslides I say ;)

I agree it would be nice to take a different run for a change .... Chain of Ponds, Gumeracha, Birdwood etc is a nice stretch ....

btw I am off to Surfers Paradise with the missus for a week of R&R .... so don't get offended anyone if I don't respond to posts/emails .... I'll try to check in up there, but am not making it a priority .... hope the cruise tonight was cool - sorry I couldn't make it but we leave at 8am tomorrow morning and the missus told me I'm not allowed out till 2am doing fun stuff :D ... oh well there's always next time!

I think your onto something GTR king.

Lets all go to the Barossa and hire some limo's and do a wine tour.. (aka lets get smashed on expensive wines)...or go somewhere were I can drink lots of expensive wine.... (" This is a suggestion")

GTR King is right.. lets do something non-car orientated just once.

Maybe this is my feminine side speakin??

    • These are small points I should actually add to my original post. GKtech makes an extended slave line for this conversion. It's what I use, and it works well. You'll also need a CD009 slave cylinder.  S/R Chassis Z33/Z34 Conversion braided clutch line As for transmission sensors, you'll need to both extend the wiring and replace the connectors. I can't recall which is which, but one is your neutral switch and the other the reverse switch. As they are just switches, just test for continuity with your transmission in neutral or reverse to figure out which is which. Connectors:  VQ35 neutral Switch Connector | Wiring Specialties VQ35 Reverse Switch Connector | Wiring Specialties 
    • I’ll try and see it could be the release bearing. As for the 4th gear grind maybe clutch doesn’t disengage properly cause it is slightly like very slightly hard to go into first could be due to the slab cylinder pin being short uni clutch is a twin plate.   Ive attached some assembly photos hopefully you can open the link and see maybe detect what’s wrong https://share.icloud.com/photos/0dc2YvW__Hl6jl-l2_0jejjpg https://share.icloud.com/photos/09e0jkWOK-vP48c1cfY6u3ViA https://share.icloud.com/photos/0b4rDmh5R7pK7fb1VtND73a3g https://share.icloud.com/photos/05eeUi_6dC4DVi80jOUYDgb0g https://share.icloud.com/photos/06335TgY1XxyIJal_wkdQLhzw
    • Yeah for sure that is peddle adjustment 
    • What are your thoughts on this after having it for a while, worth getting?
    • Downshifts are harder on transmissions than upshifts, the input shaft naturally slows down once disconnected from the engine so the synchros aren't doing all the work. There's no "natural" tendency for an input shaft to increase RPM. Something is not right there, I don't have a great answer on what. You can try a dedicated GL4 75W90, I plan to switch to Motorcraft XT-M5-QS which is supposedly a very good 75W90 for NB Miatas which have a weirdly sensitive transmission from the factory. I would chase down why your clutch is making a hissing noise, that's not normal. It might be no big deal but in the absence of anything else to investigate I would look at that.
