It is that time of the year again!

The SCC08 will be held on Sunday the 16th of November starting from the Aspley Hypermarket car park at 10am.

To attend this event and be counted in the tally, the rules are these.

1. You must have a car that fits into 2 out of 3 categories

a. Nissan

b. Skyline

c. Rb powered

The only exceptions to this rule are the Stagea M35 and any car that has contacted the organisers (Events Committee) and sought permission for exemption from the '2 out of 3 rule'

2. You will abide by all road rules. Any breaking of these rules will be met with severe penalties (movie quote!!)

The Police have been informed of this cruise and it's intentions. Don't be surprised if we see a few boys in blue on the day.

Anti-social behaviour will also not be tolerated. We are here for a good time and if you dislike someones choice of car, colour or hairstyle even... Keep it to yourself and play nice.

3. This is a Charity Cruise to raise awareness and funds for Men's Health. For various reasons, the health of men in general does not have the same profile or community support as that of women or children. Things like testicular/prostate cancer, anger issues, alcoholism, depression and diabetes affect an awful lot of men, but they just don't receive the same kind of public attention as breast cancer, SIDS, cervical cancer, PCOS, cystic fibrosis, or cerebral palsy. There's still a bit of a social stigma about men's health, despite the vast majority of us knowing men who suffer from health issues, and we'd like to see that change.

4. You will be social and mingle when we reach our destination for lunch. A BBQ and drinks will be on hand with proceeds going to our chosen Charity.

There will be a Show n' Shine with prizes at the final venue. A raffle or two will be run as well with prizes provided by the club's sponsors.

We have a large area for our day and we will have room for a few games of cricket or football as well. But be aware that shade is minimal. Sunscreen and hats people!!!!!!

Some FAQ's

The trip will be about 140km in length from Aspley to the destination. There is a Servo near our final destination so if everyone has a full tank at the start, no one will need to stop (hopefully)

We will be on the Highway for some of this Cruise and the way to stay together is as follows. The lead car will keep to the left and travel at no more than 90kph on the highway. This car will maintain the lead throughout so please don't overtake it.

Maps will be provided at Aspley (a donation would be appreciated in return) The destination is always a closely guarded secret and we try to keep it that way.

There are some nice roads on the Cruise and we have endeavored to keep everyone happy with the length and type of roads on the Cruise.

If you have a UHF radio, please bring it. Channel 16 is the preferred channel but will be verified on the day.

We are looking at 100+ cars on this Cruise and as such, the organisation will be flexible to try and get everyone out of the carpark and formed up on the highway as quickly and easily as we can.

Anyone who wishes to take photos and/or video, there will be one stop on the Cruise to catch everyone up after we leave the Highway. Tell us at the Aspley meet of your intention to video and we will give you all possible help to get good footage of the event.

We will add to this post as we think of more. Check back nearer the date to see if any changes have been necessary.

    • Ok glad you clarified on the frenchy’s options , I was worried about if my oem hoses would fit the new compressor or not if I just bought the bracket/compressor kit ,  didn’t realize they also sold a larger full conversion kit. Hmm may just go oem in that case then to make it easy only because I plan to sell this car to upgrade to a 32 GTR or 34 GTT.
    • Right, here's a video of the basic operation at least.  This is what you can expect day to day when you turn the car on and it boots from standby.  The only thing from a media point of view I haven't gotten working is for it to autoplay plexamp when it turns on from standby (it works from cold boot) but that's more of a plexamp problem as it will autoplay other music players.  Also attached is my one stray cable.  It's part of the screen's wiring adapters but there's just nowhere for it to go in my car.  I've just now done a bit of research and found a matching port on a 2010-2014 head unit with BOSE.  Mine has no BOSE so that's that case pretty much closed I think.  Plugging in the Infiniti AC panel basically did nothing for me, so that's a dead end as well.  Next port of call is to mess with this CANBUS module and see what I can find from it.  I found this resource containing the DBC files for a 2010+ G37 : https://github.com/icecube45/Dash_InfinitiG37/blob/master/InfinitiG37.dbc I'll now have something to go from when I try to extract my CANBUS data so I can see if the HVAC Mode, Fan Speed, Temperature, etc. match and also the gear shifter position.  It's a pretty big assumption that it's just mismatched CAN signals but considering all the devices in the CAN network are talking to each other (AC can be fully adjusted just with no info on screen) it might be a safe one.  I will report back WhatsApp Video 2025-02-26 at 12.49.10.mp4
    • Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went? 
    • Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was £307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell. 
    • As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?
