Hey all,

I'm now posting the set times/dates for the GOR SAU cruise :D

Please advise in this thread if you will be coming ... so we can get an idea on numbers etc :)

Please advise also if your from geelong and if you will be meeting us at the Bunnings on the way through geelong.

--------- details ---------------->

Date: Sunday 10th August 2003

Meet time: 9:30am (melb)

Meet Place: shell/subway, on the exit ramp of Point Cook Rd (MEL:53, B3. The exit after Newland St)

Departure time: 10:00am (melb)

Destination: Apollo Bay (via GOR)

MAP :

--------- details ---------------->

Basically we'll be leaving melb at 10am and head towards geelong, meet any geelong SAU members at the Bunnings on the way into Geelong at approx 10:45 - 11am, this will also give ppl a chance to catch up and let us regroup.

We will then leave Geelong at 11:20am ish (once everyone has caught up) and cruise through geelong towards the GOR and onto Apollo Bay.

Once at Apollo Bay we'll group up and get some Fish n Chips YUMM :) hang around for however long wee feel like then head back as a group or at your own leisure :)

Ill have a stack of directions/exact street names, and where we will park at Apollo bay to hand out on the morning of the curise.. i'll make them up 2nite probably :)

Hope the regs and newbies can make it :) (me being a first time cruiser also lol hehe)

I'm in.

Tip for apollo bay parking.

Don't bother organising anything as there is no real 'good' spot.

And the ones you see on the map will prob be full !

Just let everyone do what we did last time and find the nearest free spots.

It's easier. Plus we can just work it out when we get there.

STILL unsure if i can make it.

But i know the area very well... go for photos at the harbour, also 'paradise' if you know where that is.

was a nice cruise tho... if u havent seen the pics already i took some and i uploaded some here:

i think i took the vids down cause i needed the webspace.

cool mate, add ur attendence to the poll at the top of the thread.. so everyone can see what numbers we have so far ;)

not bad we have 5 already and i only posted the thread at lunch time today, its not for aother 19days so were doing well at this stage :D hehehe

I'd love to join, haven't been on a cruise for quite some time.

Missed the MAS and meeting other SAU members there, lots of personal life issues as just ditched my gf that week.

If no other things came up on that sunday, might join you ppl. Hope it's not too big cruise as big ones always draw too much "unwanted attention" ;)

Hope the weather is good, so we'll get good view of the scenery...

Even if it is a BIG meet.

SAU does not attract unwanted attention unless you make it.

If there are idiots ripping patches then of course there will be attention.

But we've never to date (since i've been around) had police trouble on any sized meet.

So don't let that detter you

cheers,

ash

I guess so...

Previous HUGE cruise to Arthur's Seat drew quite a few attention from cops.. but I suppose that's more than just SAU members, as lots of cars were not even Skylines :-)

But I might go this time (80% sure) if not have to do something else on that Sunday.

    • Update: Tunehouse looked into the problem and identified a wiring issue between the camera unit and the connector. They managed to get it working , but did warn me at some point it will stop working again. From their perspective it is unserviceable and will need replacement. They did some research and found that the new replacement camera would be Approx $1400 supply only (their fitting cost would be $190) . They did provide the part number (28442-JL05B) and a quick google of the part number shows that these are rather expensive brand new (seemingly no longer in manufacture) for the places that still have them in stock, with the used option potentially presenting  the same issue down the track at some unknown point. They are happy for me to supply the part so that they can fit it. Decisions, decisions... I can definitely recommend Tunehouse (thankyou Vee37!). Cost for the diagnosis was as quoted  ($190) , car was ready on time and communication was top notch. Their workshop is super clean and modern, and there was plenty of car candy parked out the front on the day I went.   Would definitely go back.   
    • to fix the voltage drop issue I swapped out the old 150amp alternator which turns out is a brand known for having issues and replaced it with the black 180amp alternator beside it 
    • For anyone interested, the Way Back Machine has that Japanese website archived with pictures, etc: https://web.archive.org/web/20051023225805fw_/http://www.a31cefiro.com/air_con.htm "Simply swapping the wiring of the harness will not allow it to function properly. For the outdoor air sensor and sunlight sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN1-11 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. For the indoor air sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN2-3 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. The connector PIN numbers listed here are the genuine A31 PIN numbers. To avoid incorrect wiring, check with a tester before wiring. Also, disconnect the wiring in a location close to the sensor. The disconnected harness side wiring will not be used, so be sure to insulate it." Wish someone sold a conversion harness to just plug-and-play a Kouki 180sx digital climate control into C33/A31. I'm decent with wiring but feeling kinda lazy about taking this on. Edit: Did some more digging and found a helpful Minkara blog post about the conversion as well: https://minkara.carview.co.jp/userid/1831116/car/1360568/2284209/note.aspx "After installation is complete or the battery is replaced, you need to go into self-diagnosis mode and set the internal air recirculation. The way to do it is to "hold OFF with the key on for more than 5 seconds, set the number to 5, then press 卍→C." ↑↑↑It probably won't make sense unless you actually try it (・∀・)." Lol wtf
    • Maybe SAUNSW could see howany members would do a motorkhana day if Schofield's is still available for a reasonable price...
