OK the 11thNov.

A Buddy I chat with on Classic Skylines is coming up to see me and pick up half a dozen wheels I've got for him. He is coming up in his PNV DR30 with

(Ithink) an L28t, which is the US turboed version of the 280Z motor, or similar

His name is GHOSTRIDER (aka Dennis) and many of you will have seen his

dedication to all things from Factory 5.

If we can settle on the 11th and a venue, I will chat Dennis to be there.

If we all fax SKA a $50 note he might get here too.LOL.

I dont mind whether its up the coast or down south, I'll be there.

Thanks for the offer Hugh, but seriously I dont need your money. I do have money in the bank that I could use for petrol to get down there and back, but it is all allocated as savings for bills and the like.

It's all about priorities, and sorry to say but feeding my family comes before going down to brisbane for a get together.

Thanks for the offer but, muchly appreciated :( I'll be there in spirit.

That said I just realised too that there are much more important things you could be putting that $50 to. Like I would be much happier to hear that with that $50 you took out your family for dinner somewhere or took your wife out for a nice dinner and movie, or a billion other things!

Anyway now that the violin music has started playing, back on topic Ska!! :(

We went down the coast today for breakfast. Sure there are alot of important things in life. I cancelled a 50 year reunion in Perth cause my little bloke has a FU elbow and looks like he needs surgery for it, on top of a

repeat of his ankle op.

At this stage it's the broadwater carpark Surfers paradice on the 11 Nov at about 2.30pm. I think most are happy with this. All i want to do is put a face to the names and check out some nice cars as well as taking some photoes. I was also wanting to through around an idea for a cruse early next year say Feb or Mar.

We at in or around Brisbane could head north for a couple of hours and SKA-Cyrs could head south for a couple of hours and we would meet in the middle some where. This would make the cost of the drive about the same for everyone. This is only my idea and it is open for debate.

Ummmmmmmmm I live 7 hours north of Brisbane :mad: so half way would be like Gin Gin :mellow: And there aint nothing at Gin Gin that is that exciting. Trust me, the BWCP in the early arvo is good, there is a great covered park and as the sun goes down the kids pirate ship playthingy gets the shade and there are some electric bbq's there to cook something on too. Also if you wait around till later in the night it fills up with hundreds of all kinds of makes and models of souped up cars :(

Hugh, Dennis is an SAU-NSW club member (or former member/exec), but as far as I know he isn't as active on the forums here as much as he used to be.

7 Hours Ska???

I live in Sydney and I'm comin up to see my friend so I might/probably be there but alas in my 1UZ Toyota.

Was once going to buy a Stagea, but how could I pass up 6 bolt mains and forged pistons standard. :D

Any of you guys going to this:

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...=140364&hl=

There was 6 or 7 stagea's at it last year, no I didnt make it last year, and wont this year either, <sighs>

Will be tring hard to get to this

Have to get the car finished, along with a new roof and brick work to the house by then.

There is just not enough time on the week-ends to buid 300sqm + of house by yourself on the week-ends and build cars at the same time

Unfortunitly that is why I will have to miss the Qld get together

    • I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though 
    • $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.
    • Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.
    • I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.
    • I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.
