Yeah oh well So Glenn, who's turn is it for next week, hey what about you PhatMirage, I remember you not minding organising something for next week, you still up for it?

(check my palm-top) its Team Gold Coast's turn next week issit it :(

i reckon its best we split the pack up into smaller groups. say we have about 20 cars or so and the leader/organiser picks/nominate 3 other drivers to lead smaller packs of maybe 5-8 cars.

was brainstorming last night at the shed and realised that i should have pick at least 2 other guys to lead as well so that everyone can arrive safely at the destination albeit in different time.

juz an idea.

Yeah thought about that one too, but then it just involved too much effort for me to get up off my lazy ass and ask 4-5 other people, which is why I thought the "buddy" system works good, plus radios, and hey presto, even though we went through about a million sets of lights and still could not hear you on the radio, we still all made it there in one piece!

Organising 4-5 other "leaders" and breaking up the pack is a good idea, if you could be bothered and if you could find 4-5 people to do it. But then you'd have a lot of chatter on the radio on who is at the back of which group turning where and maybe a bit confsing, Just have someone right at the back with a decent radio and who makes sure no one gets left behind, a job I thought I did pretty well with the help of Erin, prolly without her, it would have made my job harder as my plea's for directions and updates on where to turn where and asking everyone to slow up _might_ have gone unoticed :D

Key points:

1. Always keep a skyline in your rearveiw mirror

2. Always have someone appointed last in the queue, with a radio who knows where to go and can call out to someone in the pack who is listening to slow down or ask for directions.

Easy peasy!

Yep... Well done Ska and NismoGirl...

Guess what Ska? You just nominated yourself for last in the pack at every cruise... :)

You clearly can't handle the pressure at the front!!! :devfu:

Yeah I dont mind, I am looking at buying a in car though, want the range, and a guy here at work seems to think he can get a deal on them, so might do a group buy if anyone else is interested.

NismoGirl what type of antennae have you got, I had a look at PhatMirage's and it's pretty cool, dunno if I really want one of those big ass areials hanging off the bonnet, but guess the bigger it is the better the range........but at what cost :D

Yeah I dont mind being last, just as long as someone listens to me when I call out to slow down I am more than happy to follow :D

Bloody hell it's been a crap day, and I am still at friggin work, BAH time to go home and whore from there!! :D

    • What can't be done with a little bit of decking board or similar timber bolted to a hub flange via 2 wheel nuts is not worth talking about.
    • I noticed something. On the tps sensor and the sensor behind the adjustment screw is adjusted towards the far left. Are these screws supposed to be centered? (this sensor was in the same position before the tune as well)  Also attached a photo of where my car usually idles at when warm (sometimes a tiny bit above that). I think I might have screwed up the calculation and it might have better than I thought lol at 750rpm still not 650rpm though.      
    • So for both general interest of engine health, and to rule out any coolant/oil issues, I organised an oil analysis done on the 125,000klm oil Results below, all good, just a bit of fuel dilution which I'm not too worried about
    • This is actually a really good way of measuring what wheels fit. If only there was a similar measurement between hub face and suspension :p That said, it's probably pretty simple to actually measure it all with the wheel off the car for the rear. The front is a bit more complex but.. 
    • Being the top Google search result for R34 wheel-related inquiries, lemme throw down my experience. I calculated that 100mm from hub face to wheel face is about the perfect fitment for my ENR34 sedan.  I've been running 18x8.5s, ET35, with a 1" spacer. So, 8.5in to mm = 216mm. 216/2 = 108mm. 108-35 = 73mm. 73+ 25 (1" to mm) = 98mm.  If you wanna get close to this on dif widths, here are the offsets you'll want: 9" - ET around 15mm 9.5" - ET around 20mm 10" - you're crazy, but ET around 30mm All these should fit perfectly on a non-widebody, non-GTR Skyline. Note that it's probably the absolute max, and you're probably better off running a couple degrees of camber in this config, but it looks great, super flush.
