Cruise meeting spot: Lakeside Cafe', Mt Coot-tha Botanical Gardens, Toowong @ 9am - Depart time: 10am -- Cruisers must sign event registration at cafe' (parking in lot opposite entrance)

seeing as I am lazy and couldn't be bothered reading (and am apparently retarded because I have 300rwkw) do we all have to fill in the form? Ie is everyone on the cruise automatically entered in the show and shine? I am thinking about coming but due to drinking tonight it is no sure thing.

Where on cootha are we meeting up? There's a few carparks around the place, don't want to end up driving around there over and over again looking :(

The cruise is meeting in the car park at Mt Coot-tha Botanical Gardens, which is at the bottom of the hill, where the big glass hot-house thingy is, and the planetarium - that you can see from the freeway. NOT on top at the lookout cafe'.

There's also a car park directly across the road from the main entrance of the Botanical Gardens.

Everyone who particpates in the cruise and/or the show'n'shine must register first. The $2 covers you for the cruise, show'n'shine and entry, if you just want to have a look. You automatically are entitled to everything, but you are not required to do everything. Its all optional.

If you want to do just the cruise or both, obviously you'll have to get to the Botanical Gardens early to get your registration fee in.

If you only want to do the show'n'shine, just turn up at Lakeside and register and pay there. The cruisers will be expected to arrive around 11am, so if you going this way, then you might want to think about coming a lttle earlier or a little after 11:30am

A very worth while event & a great oppotunity to go cruisin in the beautiful Queensland sunshine.....try and keep me away.

I'll be there and I'll bring a mate with his R32GTR.

Im just trying to get my head around what this entails. Do we get to drive on the track, and do burnouts/drifts/skids and stuff? Or is it just a car show to support the reopening of lakeside?

awesome event Scott

great turnout, great cruise

some really nice looking cars there

numbers there i think doubled expectation (maybe even more)

sounds promising about it re-opening

great day

thanks :)

F**k all SAUers but. :) peoples you missed out on a top event

Hey guys just got back from lakeside and i gotta say it looks awesome. I hope the turnout was enough to get it reopened.There was about 6 of us there from SAU that i could recognise. I saw GTRgeoff, R33 S2, pnk32, s!k 31 and a couple of other skylines, including my R32 GT-R and my mates R33 GTST. For turnout we got hammered by the old school muscle and rotor crowds, but they were all so friendly and made positive comments on our cars so it was great anyway. Some of the show n shine cars were joking i hope, as i saw a bog standard late 80's falcon with the bonnet up amongst the showcars. :laughing-smiley-014: Oh and you guys are so friendly im coming to as many SAU events as i can from now on (work might give me some trouble but thats what sickies are for). Next time i hope to meet more of you.

What an outstanding turnout. I'm gobsmacked but absolutely amazed by the amount of support.

A really friendly day and I don't think it could happen elsewhere. I talked to heaps of enthusiasts, got around the track with Noel and Chris for a walk and relived some old times.

Pine Rivers, time to stop holding out. Re-open the track dammit. What greater message do you need? I think there was more there than for the stupid Copper support march.

Thanks for the efforts by the Lakeside Motor Racing Enthusiasts for their great efforts in raising the profile of the plight of our track.

Twas a great day indeed. So many ghosts in that place. The track is still in remarkable condition given the years of neglect. Mow the lawn and go racing actually.

Great representation from most car clubs and a stunning turnout from the bike fraternity. Even the organisers were taken short by the numbers that turned out on the day.

If the powers that be cant see the absolute neccesity of reopening that place after today then it is doomed.

    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
    • Should have taken that opportunity to slot in a twin scroll turbo setup. Maybe next time.
