Well it's been ages since anyone's organised or done a Thursday night Skyline cruise and in saying that, we're due for one.

I've not yet taken the GT-R out for a run on a Thursday night and since I've not taken it out for a while, it's time to roll out the red carpet and make an appearance with it.

The night will start on the northside and make it's way to the southside of town.

Location 1

When: Thursday, 6th March. 2008

Time: 8PM

Where: DFO Carpark

From here, we'll make our way over to Mt Cootha Lookout...

Location 2

Time: 9PM

Where: Mt Cootha lookout (where you usually sit along the dirt gravel area looking at the city)

Then from here, we'll proceed over to riverside near south bank....

Location 3

Time: 10PM

Where: Riverside

After riverside... those that are up for a highway run heading south are welcome to join us in our journey to the Goldcoast...

Regular Thursday night cruises have been doing the Brisbane to Goldcoast run as Saturday nights are Goldcoast to Brisbane.

Post up those that are interested in attending this.

Bring out the skylines and lets make this a big Thursday night for the skylines for a change :thumbsup:

I'll have the camera with me of course and i'm sure others will take this chance to get a heap of photos with all the skylines lined up together :happy:

hate to put a downer on this mate but if u are meaning the DFO on airport drive i have been there with another club a while ago and it has been chained off apart from the staff parks and docks around the back but we were also warned last time we were there that it was federal land as it's all owned by the airport and u need written permission to be there otherwise it's a federal offence which is a bad thing... it wasn't the usual scare tactic either as i personally spoke to the security guard and he was very nice and just warned me for future reference

but other than that it sounds like a good idea to have a SAU thurs nite meeting and i will try and drop by but i'm usually at pinelands from 9:30 on...

Hope what i have said helps man :banana:

ok firstly sorry for being a party pooper again....but.... from my experiences with toombul the security there are instructed to call the cops immediately.....and make u move on.... they might have changed since i was last there tho

however... the sound of the later heading down the freeway which i assume would be maybe meeting up with the pinelands ppl... sounds really good man.... i'll do my best to be somewhere :laugh:

p.s. i'm not a killjoy i just have been cruising long enough to know the no-go places

I dont think that you will find toombool a bad place to go, since there is plenty of space. If we where to park in the carpark they can move you on just because you a stopped. I think toombul is a good meet spot. I am really lookin forward to meeting some of the members.

      R32 GTR clutch master cylinder adapters

      I replaced the whole clutch line with the chase bays braided hose, I think it removes that loop, is it the short hose that comes immediately off the slave or is there a drawing in the manual to find what you’re referring to? It was just re-bled when I upgraded to the nismo slave, old slave worked fine but I thought that might help, didn’t change a thing. It’s like the first half of the pedal is pushing air and then when it finally actuates the master the friction zone is tiny. Makes it practically impossible to launch the car

      Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.

      I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it

      If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣

      I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.
