Pics from SAU Christmas Beachside Cruise/BBQ - 21/12/03


Recommended Posts

Well the cruise was fun, good value, nice to put faces to names, next time we will have to wear name tags to make it easier because it is awkward for most, including me to do a mass introduction. I am not good at remembering names so I didn't meet every one :Oops: Thanks for the positive comments about my 4 door they are much appreciated. And i hope to see everyones pics posted up soon! :D Looking forward to the next cruise :aroused:

Did the BBQ go ahead? I turned up at the car park at about 2:30, no way in hell i was going to attemp that speed hump in the middle of the car park. Whats with that car park any - what a joke!! Was there another way in?

Didn't see any other liners, apart from a R31 blue and grayish.

Anyway, sorry to miss the cruz

there were two ways in. i'm not sure if both had speed humps or not cant remember the bbq was nice a decent amount of food and drinks about 15 or so cars from memory about 20 people all together some kids as well. Damper was the melbourne weather but wasent too bad.

Should be able to blow up the group pic n get some identification happening.

At this moment in time I'd like to remind ppl to fill out the name field in your user profile in the user cp. It will show your real name and your nick next to your posts (like on mine) and will make identification a lot easier...

Also ppl who have labels in their vans *coff* Al *coff* should pass them around next time instead of remembering about em AFTER the event :P

Excellent work Smithers, Funky can you tee me up with a 150 inch monitor so i can view everything without side scrolling? :bscreen: Fantastic photos of a great day, thanks guys :P

:P I got 2 monitors with that dual view shit happening, so the other half gets shown on the other monitor :) In other news.. i noticed the pic in your avatar has different rims towhat your car was sporting on the day... or are they 2 diff cars altogether?

I have so many spare monitors it's not funny! I must need a kick ass video card! The avatar is from the nissan japan website, an original R33R, this link has since dissapeared and there is no access from the Impul site either :) The rims in the J-spec container will see me with the same rims :P

    • Yeah 98 for me, and 6.7/100 was my actual usage. On the downside the bloody thing still isn't running properly but at least they hybrid system is happy now. It starts but missfires like a bastard, and isn't throwing any code except "missfire". Thanks scoop. I did notice the AFMs are reading quite different at idle 1.33v and 1.67v so 25% variance (and have both changed and swapped them, the issue stays on the driver's side afm) so I'm looking for exhaust restriction (mouse nest?), compression issue or (hopefully not, no physical damage seen) wiring issue. Throttle might also be an issue but that is harder because you can't swap them side to side and not cheap to fire the parts cannon at.
    • I hope you're right and it somehow justifies it's existence!
    • actually, I've had one of those for a while and it gets more use than you'd think. Yes catching subframes, engines etc coming out under a car on a hoist, but also getting heavy stuff on shelving (to a certain height) without a forklift, holding the fuga's hybrid battery....like many good tools you'll find the jobs for it once you have it
    • Right, so God, it's been nearly 12 months since my last confession....  The main confession is I'm a horrible car modifier (amongst other things).  Obviously the pool was a massive distraction for the entirety of last year but really doesn't excuse me for doing nothing at all on the car for this year.  To be honest this year was a mental break to get over the extreme mental torment and pressure I put myself through putting the pool in!  It really was a slog.  The pool is still not completely finished but it might never be....  The kids love it and the wifey and I love it so mission success! I have spent a grand total of 30 minutes working on the car since when I commenced on the pool.  I just have not had a spare brain cell to be able to focus on it.  The thought of working on it just seems abhorrent to be honest.  My heart is just not into it.  Yet..... What I have done is decide that I'm a clown to not paint ALL of the underside of the car while I'm at it.  Originally I was stopping at the start of the rear subframe to then "get back to it later on once I'm ready".  Let's be honest, later on might never happen so may as well keep diving in!  I'm already balls deep so may as well go a bit deeper! So......  I've just purchased a hydraulic scissor lift table to be able to take the rear subframe out as a whole unit without having to dick around with jack stands rolling around on the ground.  Us 6' 8" blokes don't operate well at ground level! One of these- Anyway, will the investment in an expensive tool that I'll probably only ever use for one job motivate me to crack on?  Only time will tell..... Wish me luck!
    • Yeah the ACL and similar formable heat shielding materials are really nice. But most people do not have the patience or talent to do a good job like that. Almost anything is better than nothing though. Even if you didn't form it closely like that and just had a slab of it slipped in between the manifold and somewhere/thing you wanted to protect, you would gain benefit. There has to be a market opportunity for people like Artec to make formed heatshields to suit their cast manifolds. The fact that they are cast means that they are consistently the exact same dimensions and they could add bosses to the castings like you see on stockers to allow heat shields to be firmly attached yet floating away from the manifold itself.
