A Moderator of the site has kindly getting behind this event and will be having a mini show n shine: Best 4, Best 6, Best 8, Best 4x4 and Best overall.

Once we reach the dam we will be having a bbq with drinks. I will inform more on this once things have been finalised.

This thread is a expression of interest thread. Please feel free to say whether you would like to attend and i hope we all pull together for a great day and enjoy a CRUISE in his honour.

ONCE AGAIN WE DO KNOW THIS IS THE SECOND DAY OF JAMBOREE.

Thank you all and hope to see you there.

Well we dont have to cruise with them, as suggested above organise our own cruise in the daytime, a mountain run to me is a road race, pushing limits and primarilly why they are banned on this site, criticising others efforts is not what this is about, let them do what they want.

I know its a big ask but I'm going to try and get in contact with some of the Torana/Commodore owners here in QLD and maybe organise a Memorial Sprint day consisting of street cars classes he raced ie A9X sprints , LC Torana sprints, VS Commodore.

Owners of these types of cars would be invited to race or be envolved in a show and shine hopefully all at QR

It's going to take a lot to organise but I think its a fitting tribute to the Brock

Hi,

Boostcruising does not endorse "mountain runs" either.

It's a little silly to suggest that our Memorial Cruise is bound to end up being a "race around a mountain" when we are using a similar route as the "Massive Skyline Cruise" used by SAU late last year.

We're simply paying our respects in the only way we know how, if you choose to join us, please do, otherwise, please stay away. Do as you please there's no point arguing about it that's disrespecting the memory of one of Australia's best motorsport icons we've ever seen.

      to have this type of adjustment possible with a curve as I wish, what budget (engine) should be planned?

      Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.

      They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.
