Ok, so we got that out of our system. I seem to recall seing a thread about a cruise to the sunny coast and back, being a full day event. I also heard some ideas and comments. Lets kick it off from there again shall we...........

Yes, it's a great idea. Lets keep the idea happening and get ideas for a date, time and major places to go......

Now, my own thoughts:

How long - A half or full day event sounds great. Saturday night was only a taste of what's to come I think

Where - Sunshine coast is great. Maybe some nice back roads on the trip up and out through kennelworth then back down the beach fronts (just a thought anyway, some nice roads up there).

When - At leasts a few weeks or a month from now so people can plan for this. Maybe Mid to late May (not the sprint day on the 24th). Are there any other events we need to avoid?

Who - My own opinion is we need to walk before be drift (ok, run). We had 30 maybe 35 cars saturday night which was I think more than we expected. There's no reason we can't do that and more for this event. I am thinking we should keep it to SAU for this one and keep on with the "getting to meet poeple and enjoy the cars" thing. If we have heaps of cars from several clubs it would look great, but be more work and harder to control (and I tend to think it would have more risks in general).

Ok, over to you. Ideas, comments please. Just please keep this on topic and civil. Once we get a better idea of what we all want then we can move this into the events forum.

Cheers

locutus i dont think erins cruise is dead..... its still possible to salvage something from it, so long as we can maintain some maturity and resist from attacking each other.

and yes organising a cruise is hard work and lots of comunicating

nismogirl and i worked hard to ensure the whole group stayed together on sat night.

Thanks Bel. Yeah, I think the cruise is not dead, but the thread should be. All I could think is who would want to read those 2 pages of crap then seriously think about going. Just thought it was time to begin again. I don't want this to be my thread, or cruise. So Erin, come on down and take charge....

Would it not provide a sense of appreciation and some friendly sportsmanship? Could prove to be a very interesting experiment with the five of them.....escorts against skylines, zx's against lasers....lol...could prove a chance for a good laugh.

I do admit that such a task in arranging would be a nightmare but surely someone is up for the challenge????? I feel a dare coming on.

well....sounds like everyone would be keen....lol.

Wondering what the guys on the other four groups think. Do they know what plans lay in store?

As i said it would be a real tough one to organise but a real sense of achievement if it could be pulled of successfully.

But who to follow...that is the question

personally i woudl rather the idea of a skylines australia only cruise, mainly coz this is skylines australia,

if people want to cruise with the other clubs, they will sign up there, and cruise with them...

this is nothing against other clubs, i just think it looks great when you have all similar cars going around, i know on mad mtn runs it has stopped traffic..

bel - i dont think anything was said directly about you or your cruise organising, i thought you and erin both did a great job on the last one...please keep it up

I thought this thread would be different but yous are still bagging out other people..

Yous are all stereotyping people and its ridiculous.

As far as I'm concerned, if everyone here is going to have the attitude of "Skylines only.." I'm not going to be associated with that crap. Yes its a skylines australia forum but doesn't mean we need to limit it to just "SKYLINE PEOPLE"

If that's the case, are most of you's going to pull out of the Drift day that slip is organising.. cause god forbid he invite other people to our skyline drift day...

    • For me at least the reason why it bothers me is because it's indicative of a deeper problem. And that will nag at me forever. Especially because I have tailpipe emissions testing + evap leak testing every 2 years.
    • WELP. I went to the track, and I suppose it went okay because any time you can drive home is okay. You may notice the car is not on the circuit in this picture. It was about 35C day out in Benalla which means the track was approximately the surface of the sun, probably. Good things, car did not overheat but it _was_ warmer than when I had done track days in similar heat before, I think, I'm not sure - I can't quite remember. Coolant got to ~105 via the ECU after 20-30 minutes of belting it in said heat. Oil got up to 145C in one instance which is pretty crazy due to oil cooler. Pressures were fine. I seem to remember this not getting quite so high before the vents. More HMMMM'ing to be done. On the subject of HMMM'ing, can anyone identify the sounds in the video below, you will know which ones I mean: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uj3BkI2cbTc I included some 'normal' sound as a reference for the first minute or so. The microphone in this instance was where the license plate is. It stopped working later in the day which is why my "best example of a lap video (not produced)" had internal audio - Isn't hearable from inside the car. I don't mean the chirping of the un-bedded/badly bedded track brakes which you can only hear while braking... Thoughts, brains trust?
    • blame old mate Hawkins for that one  I remember way back in the day the japanese didn't want them either... they always assumed a race shell would be thrashed. We found a few when looking for an R34 GTR for the Whites to drive in Targa Tas back in 2002.
    • I know it's probably not going to cause any major engine issues. I just had a more generic concern that it's technically not running right (I guess this means the rpm is not sitting where it technically should be) Though the other thing is, it's that my steering wheel is shaking at 1,100 rpm at idle until it gets warm (seemed to happen after I tightened my alternator belt, will be testing the alternator soon).
    • I mean, what's the concern here? Higher fuel consumption? FWIW my idle sits at around 800rpm or so as well. And yes, it runs fine, idles fine and there are no issues as far as I can tell. I don't quite see the problem.
