I'm sure the media can somehow turn it around and make it seem as though we're blocking the roads off to hold a street race.................... uses footages of us causing the road blocks then use footages off the fast and furious movies for street racing scenes.......

A few years ago, me and two others organised "Block the Bay" at Glenelg. All the motorcycles turned up at Glenelg for a whole weekend and occupied all the parking spaces on Jetty Road. The issue was that the Holdfast Bay council had removed all motorcycle parks on the main roads, only leaving motorcycle parks in back streets. We sure as hell didn't want to park our vulnerable bikes in backstreets. So we organised a weekend where motorbikes took up all the parks and one bike would pull in as another left.

The Council hit the roof and sent out inspectors and the police. Problem was that it was perfectly legal, even if it was organised. Council argued we could fit 4-5 bikes in one car park, but they were also fining us for multiple parking :merli: So we stuck to the "one vehicle per park" rule.

We had the media out in force. There was even a nice little bit of footage of me riding off down Jetty Road to nab another park :laugh:

hahaha ^^^^ nice one Ruby

The victory didn't last long. Council "temporarily" provided motorcycle parks near the McDs top of Jetty Road. "Wendy", a fellow organiser of the Block the Bay (there were 3 of us), got killed a year later in a crash at O'Halloran Hill, and to add salt to that wound, Council removed the "temporary" motorcycle parking knowing an organiser of the event wouldn't be around to fight it. Wendy being killed kinda ruined the taste for fighting ... everyone went soft.

The guys have "talked" about doing it again for over a year now, but no ones gotten off their arse to do anything about it. I still ride with many of the "old school" bikers, so maybe we can round up a few young riders and get the numbers up to do it again. Summer time in the last break before exams etc is always a good time to do it!

:P

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Oh yeah forgot to also mention need to also unplug the IACV as well. Thanks for the reminder @MBS206 Unplugging the TPS takes it out of closed loop so you're able to screw down the IACV without the ECU trying to add/subtract timing to maintain the idle (not sure PowerFC can even do this, but Nistune and the OEM definitely does)

      Nissan Skyline R34 GT-T 1999

      By Bman1296 · Posted

      For sale is my 1999 Nissan Skyline R34 GT-T, tuned to 234 kW / 313 hp. I've had the car for a few years as my daily driver. The car is original (as far as Skylines go), with only a few minor upgrades to enhance performance and driving experience, as typical for such a car of its age. Overall, it is in great condition with no body rust, thanks to its earlier import date. It features a top-notch security system (not literally, but it's great!) with remote start and still functional 4-wheel steering via HICAS. It comes with several performance and handling upgrades, including:     Hypergear 450HP Turbocharger running 17 PSI boost, installed mid-2021 by Jaustech     550cc injectors     Nistune ECU     Front-Mount Return-Flow Intercooler     X-Force Stainless Steel Exhaust     Upgraded engine mounts     Bottom end bearings replaced     BC Coilovers     Lenso DR1 rims     Bridgestone Potenza Adrenalin RE003 TL 245/40R18 97W tires, fitted early 2023 The interior is mostly stock, with a few additions:     Viper Satellite Tracking System with remote start     Bluetooth Double-Din Touchscreen Head Unit     Steering wheel cover Cons:     A few paint imperfections here and there     Driver’s seat shows more wear than the others. It's not torn at all, but I've added a seat cover to protect its condition. I also have a CarVX Vehicle History report available for serious buyers, so you don’t need to purchase it yourself. Price: $26,000 ONO.

      Troubleshooting - motor wont turn over

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I've had two suzukis in the past have an extremely hard time turning over and not starting after sitting for a few weeks. Ended up the alternator would seize up causing the starter to force. Same issue both times.  Maybe they're sourcing their alternators from the same place...

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By MBS206 · Posted

      On the R34 can't you just unplug the IACV? This is the way I've always done it on the R33. Disconnect IACV, get it idling around 650rpm, and then do a power reset on the ECU to get it to relearn idle (factory ECU).   The big reason no one has touched on as to why you'd want to get the base idle right, is that it means the computer needs to make smaller adjustments to get a good idle at 700-750rpm.   Also, cleaning the IACV won't normally make the car suddenly idle lower or higher. The main issue with the IACV gumming up is that the valve sticks. This means the inputs the ECU gives, aren't translating to changes in air flow. This can cause idle choppy ness as the ECU is now needing to give a lot of input to get movement, but then it moves too far, and then has to do the same in reverse, and it can mean the ECU can't catch stalls quickly either.
