That was a bloody sweet cruise. Awesome turnout and really nice cars.

Extemely well organised, so congrats to those involved; great work !!!

And from what we saw, no incidents! Two thumbs up! :D

That was me Timmay ..... my foot 'slipped off the clutch' (and the other foot slipped lightly onto the brake) leaving the airport carpark and I got done for 'emit undue smoke and noise'. Small fine and they didn't defect my car (warned me about the pillar guages though) .... they even db tested my exhaust - 90db @ 4,000rpm well within legal limits. They asked me tons about my car and went over it pretty well .... they were very happy with my S&B pod and heat shield set-up - the specialist defect mechanic that they had with them said it was the best and safest one he'd seen. They asked me if I had any things like a BOV or turbo-timer and fortunately I don't :D

Other than that is was an awesome cruise!! Well planned route and general organisation TN, Ben and others!!

yep..great cruise guys..

Gotta do that again..was challenging through the hills. but loved it.

Was some great cars out there..got to know some people..bout time..

Am lucky that some girl got out her car when we were on Hindley St and told us where the cruise was meeting after Bunnings. Got to Bunnings when every1 was leaving..duh..lucky we found ya again..

As for the cops..when we were at the boat ramp..all he told me was to move out of the area..or il defect u! so i left hey..

anyway..great cruise Erica.

Shannon.

and the carpark is in a commercial/industrial area with no possibility of annoying residents or impeding traffic. Way to go cops on sending us out onto the street to create a nuisance instead of us all being contained to a small area talking.

The point others have made is exactly right .... why aren't they out there catching criminals and solving crimes rather than harassing us all the time (and achieving ABSOLUTELY nothing!)!!!

cruise was good fun

love the hills down into clarendon awesome views

lots of interesting cars, but seemd to be lacking s13 silvias dont think i even saw one

As for the cops they would of been told that we were at the boatramp by someone (public), so they prob just doing there job

Nightcrawler is right - there would have been no chance that we were causing a nuisance towards residents around Bunnings!!!

R we sure a PM didn't get sent to a cop pretending to be a forum member or something??!! :)

As I said on the nissansilvia forum, there were 4 cop cars trying to cause trouble for us and at the same time, a servo up the road from my b/f's house gets held up twice in three days!!

I'd think that a person committing hold ups and others beating people to death in road rage incidents would be slightly more important than defecting our cars.....

On the other side of the fence, the police were quite good about the whole thing. No one was defected or singled out. They would have a worthy reason for making there presence.....if only one person drove alittle slower and avoided an accident- It was worth it.

As for doing a burning right in front of a police car...... and only getting stung with a $103 fine--> wow I wish all police were like that.

nice idea cowboy... I think cops should draw their attention away from the performance car scene and catch the F*cking morons who were involved in the bashing of the dude in the commo (i think it was anyways, sorry for being vague) who died later after discharging himself from hospital.

enjoyfull drive through the hills.....who ever organised it did i good job with the route....its good to see cruises go down south :headspin: , much easier for me..... only one downside: I had to spend the next morning washing the soarer front after PCOTY did a :burnout: 1m from my bar, but a fun nite no the less

hope to c more cruses come down south more often

fyi in case u didn't figure it out M1, PCOTY = Nightcrawler :P .... oh and like I said at the time, I am very sorry about the spray man - my damn foot slipped off the clutch again :( .... I actually thought I had the back out a bit further so the mud etc wouldn't get you :(

    • Strange your posting about this being an issue. Move the harness or change your wheels or run more camber etc. Have the thing not touch the thing so it doesn't destroy the thing.  Short answer, no. Slightly longer answer, the factory fuel gauge is measuring resistance. You need to wire in the FPG fuel level sender into the original factory fuel level sender wiring.  I drew you a picture to explain this one The factory strainer is quite long, reaching down into the bottom of the tank. Safe bet your aftermarket fuel pump has a little baby sized strainer that probably doesn't even point down towards the bottom of the thank.  Solution, move the pump lower down in the tank, or fit a longer strainer, or do both. I did both, I've run my tank down to 5L remaining and the car still drove fine.   
    • S2/3 GT-R is the same as S2 GTS-t The SRS airbags module in under the centre console. The S1/S1.5 GTS-t and S1 GT-R had the module built into the steering wheel. FWIW, I have a S3 GT-R wheel in my S2 GTS-t shit box. Same airbag plug, airbag light goes on then off, meaning all systems are go. S3 GT-R has red stitching, that's about it.
    • Dumb question, but why would it matter if the wheel came off a car with hicas or not?
    • Hey to anyone that reads this, long time lurker first time posting, sorry if it’s been answered before but I’ve been looking for nearly a year now for answers. ive got a 25det neo in an r32 that works awesome when it works (made 500whp on 21psi) but works 45% of the time, 1st issue there’s a harness that runs under the passengers side front fender that my tire keeps rubbing through and one wire seems to power the fuel pump even though I’ve done the relay “mod” some people like to call it, and when it does rub through it kills the car, yes next time I’m with the car I want to take the fender off and try tuck the harness well out of the way but I’d also like to try and by pass this mysterious wire as well lol, also wouldn’t mind getting power from the alternator as I’ve read it supplies the pump with 13v ? But no idea where to run the power wire too. 2nd issue, when replacing my fuel pump and fuel hanger I managed to break the factory fuel level sender leaving me with no fuel gauge, I’d like to buy the fpg fuel level sender for r32/s13 but the plug it comes with confuses me, I’ve got a detschwerks x1 fuel hanger which has light + pump - level + pump + and a ground, I’m no auto sparky but I’m wondering if I can cut the plug off the fuel level sender and wire the negative to the pump negative and wire the positive to the level positive to get a fuel gauge back ?🥴 3rd and final issue, the reason I want a fuel gauge is because whenever it’s below half a tank, it fuel starves like crazy and runs like a bag of shit even without doing a pull or sloshing the fuel round in the tank, I’d also like to fix this but have no idea what’s causing it, I’ve got a dw420 and a dead head fuel setup meaning the fuel is regulated before it gets to the engine, my only theory is that the return line is to close to the pickup on the pump and when it’s at half a tank the return line is causing the pump to cavitate enough to cause fuel pressure issues, that or the pump isn’t low enough in the tank which I would find strange considering I can’t find a single thing online about it, also if ya wondering how I figured out it happens at half a tank without a fuel gauge, I waited until it started happening and went and filled up and the car took exactly 30 litres every time I tested it, if ya managed to read through this mess I appreciate that and any recommendations , cheers
    • ChatGPT is trash and lies about things I would not expect it to lie about considering many things it's wrong about are very easily verified with google. The S3 R33 GTR shares its steering wheel with R33 GTSTs of the same production year. Part number is 48430-26U17. I'm guessing you have to get it from a car that came with HICAS though, the ER33 is 48430-26U18, but the HR33 diagrams note that part number is still leather vs 48430-26U13 which is not leather-wrapped. They all use the same airbags, so if you need another one you can get it off basically any same year R33 or Stagea.
