Hi all,

Another cruise I thought of apart from the one I've organised to Wollongong..

I was driving in the city the other day, and noticed like 15 or so WRX's all driving together.. You dont understand how much attention they caught from other cars, girls, you name it!

So I thought to myself... Gee's Skylines look better cruising than them!!! LOL

Here's one for Sydney!

Meeting: P6 Carpark (Olympic Park), Australia Avenue

When: 04th November (Sunday)

Time: 11:00am, leaving 11:30am

Where we going?:

Driving up to Palm Beach first, through the scenic National Park just past Mona Vale.. Chill there for a bit..

Then drive back through the northern beaches, passing Dee Why and Manly. Head over the Harbour Bridge..

Then along William Street through to Double Bay, past Vaucluse and coming from the other side towards Bondi (Im sure they'll be some bikini's out!!). Then back way to Double Bay.

Back along William Street, turning left at Hyde Park heading to Oxford Street. From Oxford Street, turning right at Taylors Square heading to Anzac Parade.

Next stop will be La Perouse.

After La Perouse, heading through Brighton Le Sands, going the back way straight towards Burwood (Massive Cafe Strand).

Then along Parramatta Road for a bit, left on Norton Street (Leichhardt), going straight up to the final stop at La Montage (on the bay) - Big car park for all of us to fit. This should be around 3-4pm, where we will finish the drive.

Let me know if your interested.. I think this cruise will be an interesting one...

Looking forward to meeting some of you on the wollongong cruise 21st November.

Safe driving guys!

driving in traffic.. awesome
+1

Unless you want to attract heaps of attention from the occasional uleh on the street,

Obviously that IS what you want from this cruise... Carry on :spank:

lol

Bunch of pansy whingers... :rofl:

Excellent idea, let's do it for Sydney!

I'm there 100% and we need to rally some support for the Skylines - i'm getting sick of all these ugly WRXboxes with exhausts that sound like me gargling listerine!

This cruise takes us through the best that Sydney has to offer. It's gonna be a good one.

Let's end the Fat Pizza reign of terror :P

Yeah, because cruising up Lane Cove Road, and then down Pittwater Road, across the bridge, and then out to the inner west is for Terry Tough C#%ts. :w00t: I suppose if you're driving a boat you're going to want to keep it near the water.

If you think that cruising up dead straight, traffic lighted, heavily populated, low speed metropolitan roads is the best Sydney has to offer your GT sports coupe, it just goes to show how low your standards are.

How can any Sydney road with a max speed limit of 110km/h test the capacity of a car that can do 240km/h with the speed limiter removed? Ur not making sense mate.

It's not about power sliding around every corner; it's about cruising as mates, showing off our nice imports and doing it through some of the nicest roads in the city we all live in!

this type of cruise is not to my taste, but I feel the need to offer advice.

Cruising around Northern Beaches is safe over the weekend, however, don't go to bondi as the cops set up defect stations regularly on the beachfront during the daytime.

I thought about that already.. If you's want we can by pass it instead.. I think we'll decide at Palm Beach, depending on how many cars come..

As for the idiot who is negative, mate when someone buys a nice import, they dont buy it to stash it in the garage champ!

We're approaching summer, and driving responsibly through our city, with mates (new and old) is a reasonable cause...

Good Point Omar...

MATE.... I THINK YOU SHOULD MOVE TO ALICE SPRINGS OR SOMETHING. I HEAR THEY HAVE THE ROADS YOUR AFTER OUT THERE.. WE AREN'T HERE TO BE HEROES MATE, JUST TO ENJOY OUR PASSION FOR DRIVING..

ignore the weekend warriors :w00t: they prefer to go to a track and blow a turbo or two...

Each to their own guys, stop slinging shit on everyone... If you don't like the idea, don't shit on those that do...

Ur dead right doofman... posts deleted ;)

*gone*

While this does sound good, It would still be hard to co-ordinate through traffic.

I remember when we cruised to Newcastle and there was around 40+ of us I think we had to stop and reform on the highway as too many people got left behind.

For the benefit of everyone I recon the most you could do through traffic is 10..

Hell when it was just me you and dyken I almost got caught at a few sets of lights.

Although it would be cool to watch 50+ skylines go through the cross in a row haha

I think a number of your are being unnecessarily negative and bordering on rude to this guy. He's fairly new, he's obviously a keen enthusiast and he's putting some actual effort and thought into organising a cruise.

Maybe instead of shooting him down you could either offer a modification to his plan that you would be interested in or just leave it alone.

For what it's worth, I wont be in Sydney that weekend but if I was I would be thinking that it does sound like most of the journey will be in traffic. Maybe try a 3 or 4 pm start heading across the city to the east, maybe some beaches but avoid Bondi, then continue the way you previously thought. Bondi rd on a sunny day barely moves.

Hmmz. That post took me so long to write I now look like a bandwagoner. :w00t:

Yea I thought you were just lurking and waiting to warn some people..

I was wrong.. You just type like an eagle.. Soaring around till you find the keys lol

    • I'm seeing torque specs all over the place for the OUTER tie rod, but none for the INNER tie rod, where it connects to the steering rack. Even in videos, people are just tightening em up as much as they can with a wrench and that's it. Anything tightened down without torque makes me nervous. Anyone know what the spec is for it?
    • Hope you had a great time here in our tiny country.   The JDM scene we have here is quite small, it's mostly BMW, Volkswagen with burble tunes haha. But the few JDM cars we do have in the scene are pretty nice. Some of my friends drive cool s14's too. Both built engines, red one makes abt 500, blue one abt 400 i think?
    • Ye good idea , would have never thought of something like that. Might aswell do it to every pulley and the balancer while I’m there 
    • Use an LS1 or similar, via kit like Frenchy's. But.... It's probably not the alternator. It sounds like belt squeal, which would be because the pulleys are glazed. Rub every groove on the pulleys with 120 grit paper. Report back. Oh, and new belts afterwards too. The old new ones will be shitted up already.
    • Hello all I have 2 r34 sedans , one turbo one na, only recently aquired the na 34.  Man what is with these things.... My turbo 34 started sounding like a super charger, it was screaming at anything above 4000rpm , I took the alternator apart and replaced the front bearing which is the only one I think you can access and it did not fix the issue so presumably the bearing in the rear of the alternator is gone. ( diagnosed it was the alternator by taking off the aux belts one by one to figure out which pulley or bearing it was )  My friend gave me one he had lying around, Installed it , it did not squeal for maybe 500kms and now its started to squeal again briefly on startup  Recently got an na r34 and I replaced the timing belt, water pump + all the auxillirary belts. Runs amazing but it suddenly developed the same squeaking problem but significantly worse, Ive had my neighbour come down screaming at me because it was waking her up everytime I moved the car. It takes a good 2 minutes before it quietens down.  Im yet to diagnose where its coming from but im fairly sure its coming from the alternator aswell. My question isnt about how to fix it but rather where can you get a new alternator for an rb25 neo??? Ive searched everywhere but I havent been able to find a direct fit oem type replacement thats not genuine. All the automotive stores sell an oex one - BXA035 - which I picked up for cheap through a friend with staff discount , got it home only to find the connector is completelty different.... As far as im aware bxa035 is for rb20/30's and after a bit of figuring out the bxa035 has an ev14 type connector, which is tiny compared to the rb25 connector. I actually had an ev14 connector lying around which I was considering just replacing the bigger plug with to get the alternator working but the bxa035 is rated for 70amp vs the rb25 alternators are 90amp ( or so ive been told ? ) That paired along with the fact im about to install an amp + sub in the back and I have the stock sized small battery Im not sure itll do the job unless anyone has another opinion?  I know and have seen all the websites selling the ls1 alternator conversion kit but I am not going down that route, nor do I have the money to. Hopefully I can figure out how to get 2 brand new alternators for both cars. I would buy second hand which there seems to be many of but considering how common this seems to be im sure If I installed a second hand one it would start squealing in no time  Or even better if anyone knows how to fix the issue directly with the alternator itself... Any input appreciated Thank you     Link for bxa035 connector picture
