POSTPONED TILL NEXT THURSDAY 3/8/06

Since we haven't had a Thursday night skyline cruises in a while (give or take a few weeks), I thought I piece together one and get the ball rolling on getting some more skyline events happening.

For North siders -

Meet: DFO Car Park

Date: Thursday night, 3rd August, 2006.

Time: 7:00pm.

Depart: 7:30pm.

From here, we can cruise down south towards Springwood to allow southsiders to meet up with us.

For South siders -

Meet: Eight Miles Planes Car Park (Across from the Bus station along Miles Platting Road)

Time: 8:15pm.

Depart: 8:45pm.

I organised a cruise early this year which started at the Eight Miles Planes car park and we were not kicked out by security. This was probably due to us being resposible and not creating a scene or any unwanted attention. Of course there was the VL who did show off at the lights but was not apart of our group.

From here, we can cruise down and hit the old Thursday night spot at Yatala BP. Those that would need to refuel for the journey home can do this at Yatala BP or if requiring Shell fuel, Shell is only up the road.

From here, we can decide to hit either the city and do a few city laps or head for riverside.

The cruise will allow for those who have not been on any skyline cruises to meet others and of course, stand around and have a bit a chat.

Please do note this is NOT an offical SAU QLD cruise. Any skyline forum members (sau qld members and sau qld non-members) are welcome.

Those that have UHF's are encouraged to bring them along and use them on the cruise. Channel we will be using will be given out on the night.

Anyone wanting to bring camera's along are also welcome to bring them.

I'll be trying to get a hold of a video camera to take any video footage for the night.

Post up your interest.

Also with the thought in mind, hitting riverside may be a better option then city laps for photo's.

With the skylines parked along the road at riverside and having the view of all the buildings and different coloured lights along corination drive from the riverside would stand out perfect for a good photo.

This can be an additional photo to mud's signature :(

Yeah I'd be keen for a cruise tomorrow night, but Mark's right - riverside is a fairly well-known hangout. Expect to be hassled (or at least followed) going through there if you're not 60 and driving a Camry. Such a shame, as it really is a nice spot.

My brain is mush atm thanks to four hours of looking at a database so I can't suggest an alternative, but I'd be interested pending the destination.

I work near the BP at Yatala and go past 8 mile plains on my way home - so I'd be leaving Yatala, driving past the meet point, going home, then basically going back to work and home again vai somewhere yet to be decided lol

Well we can discuss where to go from Yatala once we've reached this spot. I dont want to go to Mt Cootha based on the cops raping everyone there lately along with Milton.

City laps sorta defeats the purpose of actually standing around, talking and getting to know each other, ask questions etc.

I'm open to suggestions if anyone has any.

Been a long time since i have been on a skyline cruise

last thursday night cruise i went on, my car was stock as a rock and was a auto.

goin to the shops at 8, but would like to know where you guys roughly will be at 9 30

most probably will be around milton area, and cruising round the city

I wish my car was off the bloody hoist :)

I would love to go but I dont think my car will be ready :O

Well stop looking at it and press the down button on the hoist. Hurry up lol.

Im glad you postponed it as i have been called in for overtime at work.

    • Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)  
    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.            
    • Awesome writeup and details. Thanks for sharing the story so far. I can relate to parts of it with my previous car and some of the issues I had to deal with.
    • Wow the colour matched hard top completely transforms the car. Are there any nice front lip options for the car or is that off the table?
    • Generally yes but for some reason I've been ruthless this time around!  I might even need to do another tip run after the way I've finally been able to hit the delete button on shit I've stepped over, stepped around and tripped over for the past 10 years!
