How about, for those NOR, Meet at whitfords then go mitchell fwy > kwinana fwy > south street > ranford? I can't organise it because I'm not sure if I'll be there (it basically depends if I have time to fix my car or not), but if I am, I think the above is a good way for NOR to meet up with the rest.

Was a lot of fun, some parts required a bit of concentration, but enjoyed it heaps. Sorry to anyone who got stuck behind my slow arse on the zig zags, my first time down there, and passenger not keen on hills, so took it easy, tried to let as many people as possible go before me though to try avoid holding people up.

Yeah great cruise guys. Bit long but I still enjoyed it.

However, me, Dora (DXPLORA), Adz in the 80, Mike in the VSpec N1 and another s13 got done on the way back home after the cruise, almost hoon lawed, but as they accused us of exceeding 140 (no proof) which we weren't, we only got tickets for speeding and nothing more. The cops were weaving between traffic in front of me without lights, without indicating, and even me having to brake or they'd hit my car when they switched lanes to block us off on the freeway. They didn't even clock us they were all assumed/estimated speeds according to the cops speedo. Not even sure if they could do that. :)

But it was still a good night, cheers for all those who came, esp those who came from Bunbury and NoR.

Waiting for that letter in the mail... :D

What letter..that you've lost your license? If they gave you speeding tickets on the spot, you won't be getting anything in the mail. Plus they can't book like 4 cars for the exact same speed at the same time. I'd suggest the five of you take the matter to court (as one if possible), and you'll win hands down.

He didn't give me a speeding ticket there man, he said the fine will come in the mail in a few weeks. I actually did want to ask why he couldn't give it to me then. And I found out it was actually over 7 of us he pulled over. He let the XR6 go because he wasn't and I quote by Mr. Officer 'a f@cking rice burner'. Even though he clearly had our club stickers on his car...

It's stuffed in so many different ways. We'll definitly be contesting it as my friend only has one demerit point left. I don't care about the points as it will be my first ticket ever, more about giving them money for nothing. I'd accept a fine for 120 tbh, but no way 140.

Thanks for coming Gazza and Skyman. What car were you in Carl? Where'd you meet us up at? Was hard to keep track of who was joining up at each spot, had a pretty good turnout. Had 50 maps and still ran out. I'll make sure we print about 70 next month.

Guys

Sorry I bailed after the tunnel but I still had a fair drive to get home with the co-driver nodding off.

Nice to meet some of the crew and have a bit of fun.

Not good to hear about the grief on the way home.

Were they still cleaning up the mess at Stakehill Road lights? 4WD had a bit of a bingle, Cops and Towies with half the road blocked.

I had a good fast run when some nice fella in an old commonwhore decided he would run interference (and no doubt keep himself awake the way he was using all the road) for most of the dual cariage from Lake Clifton.

Till next time.

Cheers

      3D printing fun

      By Sean'O · Posted

      Howdy friends, So another weird one today, I was looking into replacing some broken clips holding the front grille for the R32 GTR (part number 01553-03831), and noticed the brackets which are supposed to hold the grille in place were also missing 😑. I do recall seeing this issue many years ago, but didn't fix it at the time. A quick look on eBay and I was able to find the genuine brackets, along with all the screws which suited the headlights (part numbers 26042-08U05,26092-08U05). Happy days!....  Once they arrived however there was an extra nut in the packaging which implied that there should also be a bolt or a stud, and sure enough, after a bit of searching I found this thread from 2013, and @Ants clearly shows a stud should be present. Reading around a bit more, it's possible the headlights on my car are the "povo pack" headlights as mentioned by @funkymonkey in this thread way back in 2008. This could explain why the studs are missing on my set of headlights. Looking at the headlight diagram I wasn't able to see a suitable part number for the stud itself. The headlight did indeed have a recess that looked like it would accept a stud, but interestingly no thread or anything obvious how the stud would be affixed to the headlight, I suspect it may have been glued in, press fit, or melted into the plastic at the factory. Another member may be able to clarify if they happen to have a genuine set of N1 headlamps. The only thing we have to work with within the recess is a keyway which likely is there to prevent the stud from rotating within the recess. In any case, back to 3D printing, I put together a model which acts like a pug with a friction fit inside this recess, making use of the keyway so it doesn't rotate while tightening a bolt. Printing in TPU will allow it to slightly swell making a nice snug fit without cracking the part. I've designed the adaptor it to accept an 20 mm M6 bolt (stainless with a cap head in my case), as opposed to the standard M5 stud and I made use of the standard galvanised split washer that came with the genuine brackets from Nissan. Once the bolt and screws were all in place, giving the bracket a gentle shake gave the classic "shaking the car" feeling, very solid, which gives me confidence this is going to be able to hold on much better than the janky solution which seems to have been here for the past decade or so. Overall I'm really pleased with how this turned out and maybe there are more people out there running these headlights without a centre stud at all!

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) clogged cat

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      Hey everyone, This is my first post apart of the introduction. I tried searching a bit on the forum but couldn't really get a straight answer. I got the car to my mechanic as I felt it being weak. It seems that it was missing on two cylinders due to the injectors. I had all my injectors clean and the car runs much better. The mechanic also confirmed my suspicions that the cat is clogged and needs to be tackled asap. The cat rattles a bit and the hot exhaust warning frequently lights up when driving after getting the injectors clean. In my introduction I was asked about what modification I might be interested in and mentioned a cat delete. From what I was told, this is not really beneficial on the RB20DE and there are more cons than pros.  Could perhaps anyone give some suggestions on what the best course of action would be since the current cat is toast and needs to be removed/replaced anyway? I can also sometimes smell a strong smell of fuel, but I'm not sure if this is related.

      When I was replacing my pump due to being stranded in the wrong state, I went with the Deatschwerks 320lph kit. It is a direct plug in to the stock wires, harness, everything. It comes with a plug... but you can plug the OEM plug directly into this thing. https://justjap.com/products/deatschwerks-dw300-fuel-pump-nissan-s13-silvia-r32-r33-r34-skyline-c34-stagea?currency=AUD Downside: Won't actually flow that much on boost if you want to push it on E85, but it's comparable to the 040/255 etc. Little more actually.
