I've never gone on any cruise with 'public' groups before so this will be the first one for me.

I generally only go on cruises with friends, or people who I trust etc so I'm also hoping like NRB that it all goes smoothly.

I'm also a slow driver so I'll probably go last :D

When I make reference to clowns, I'm not talking about our crew, I'm talking about the fact that this cruise has been posted openly on NissanSilvia. It states that they're all welcome. It's also listed in the Unofficial section of MCCR. It's this "unknown element" I'm concerned with.

Oh... my apologies, I didn't mean offence to anyone in this club - from all my time here, generally everyone here seems to be good characters.

I was not aware it was also posted on NS/MelbCCR (especially the latter who have had bad reputation, especially most recently with the R33 incident)... I hope that everything still goes smoothly, I'll judge it on the day and if I think its wise to pull out mid-cruise or something then that might happen.

Being an SAU official cruise. And some of the Nissansilva crew i know also, and have been on past cruises. We've personally had no problem with them before.

Any fools WILL be asked to leave.

We 'regulars' here at SAU run a tight operation LOL

Trust me, we'll have a wicked day, just wait n see.

:D

I believe we will... I'm looking forward to it. I just don't want a repeat head-on that occurred right behind me.

I also have some bad memories of the GOR when I had my brand new (6 week old) MY00 WRX crashed into by a bloke on the wrong side of the road. This was 2 years ago. He caused $10k damage to my car. I haven't driven the road since then, only been passenger.

Not sure if this has already been discussed so sorry if you have to repeat yourself but I was just wondering if we have involved the police in this cruise or any other cruise that SAU organises... Ive never been before so wouldnt really know.

By involving them I mean would it be worthwhile to give the local police a call to let them know were passing through as a matter of courtesy or is this just askig for trouble?

There's no need for this, as we are simply a bunch of cars cruising down a road together. There shouldn't be any funny business (as has been stated several times now), nor will it be tolerated.

I'm a bit worried about the forecast that's coming for the rest of the week though, seems like 30 degrees may be bit off now.

Ok, this is short sweet.

If i sound rude here im not, just trying to be quick and to the point krptr :)

So no hard feelings if i sound that way.

1) We will not be informing authorities we are coming, and we never have/or will be doing as such.

The police regularly read forums etc, and have been known to read these forums.

So i'm sure they are well aware of us coming anyways, just like any other Public Cruise.

2) As such, anyone here can vouch that we have never had one problem with police.

They know who we are, and we behave on the roads, they leave us alone.

A happy (and totally fair) medium has been found IMO.

3) If by some remote chance there is a problem on the day with the law. I will deal with it personally.

But be warned, if you are breaking the law, i wont be defending you.

Anymore talk of hoons, police precense or anything i will be asking the mods to remove the posts.

Thanks for your concern guys, it is always well noted... but it's all been thought about before.

:D

Hi Guys & Gals,

I should be coming if the weather holds up.

I know there are worries about the unwanted drivers, unfortunately there is no fool proof way to filter them out.

If something is Fool Proof, someone always gives birth to a better Fool :D

I am not sure if we have some Cruise rules already but if we don't maybe we should get some Cruise Rules happening so that everyone knows what behaviour is expected of them.

cya all then

Brandon

PS: NRB, see if you can drag Tim down.

Thank God R31Nismoid you said it before i did! i do not mean to be rude either BUT i have been reading through this forum wondering do any of you ppl drive on weekends or drive your cars at all???

First of all E-TAGS ok $10 and your part of one of the best crusies ever. most of the cars you drive are worth 20g's plus so dont winge. and if principle is the problem just forget it for one day ok.

Next: Police are on the road all the time if there gonna pull you over they will. simple soulution dont give them reason to.

third of all: everytime you pull your car on to the road there is a chance of an accident! as long as we all respect each other and other road users there should be no problems ok.

the last thing id like to note is, i have not seen the MCCR notice bored nor the nissansilvia notice bored but i am looking at this cruise hoping for PLEANTY of hot cars and just a great day to meet other car enthusiests (spelling???) not triing to guess whos gonna be a dick head (excuse the language) and wat club they are from.

i have no intention of offending any one with this post and i hope to see all of you on this cruise and it be a great day for all of us. thank you

nice one mate...

also to the police thing... i have on previous cruises which i organised called the police a few days before and explained what was happening and just let them know if they see a huge amount of imports that it was a car club meet and not a street drag meet and that they are more than welcome to come down... they went past and kept on going.

like u said... there isnt an issue unless u make one.

Please don't misinterpret my posts. I was witness to absolute recklessness, and don't want to find myself in that situation again. I'm looking forward to having a great day with good blokes in good cars; nothing more, nothing less.

Brandon, I've e-mailed Timbo, let's hope he wants to join us.

    • I ❤️ Matty I would like to thank Matty for going out his way in securing me a OEM NC detachable hard top for the NC Matty, your worth your weight in gold, and I cannot say how much I really appreciate your outstanding help I'll get it colour matched once I pick it up sometime in Dec-Jan 😁  
    • We have some genuine Japanese legally decommissioned car number plates now in stock 🙂 Add some legitimately obtained JDM style to your Skyline or other Japanese model, or simply as a garage/man cave decoration! About the 40mm hole: The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure & Transport in Japan recognised the popularity of keeping decommissioned plates among car enthusiasts and came up with a method to "destroy" (or render them unusable for street use) while still retaining their collectable/usable value for display etc.  We have 40mm hole covers available to cover the hole nicely with a Sakura motif, which are also available in white in (very!) limited quantities, however they frequently sell out. Please let me know if you're wanting one or more of these and I'll check availability. The Sakura motif covers are more common. https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-decommissioned-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-set-su-7515 https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-decommissioned-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-set https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-400mm-hole-cover *Please note that we can't obtain particular number or area name (eg: "Gunma 500 Fu ・86") if requested. All plates are provided as they become available after decommissioning. 
    • Ah, fair enough. For the IAT, I'm using a legit GM sensor that was used on the car prior to my current build. I'll get another wideband and IAT ordered and follow up when they show up. Thanks for the help.
    • You shouldn't need to massively fatten up the mixtures for cold conditions. For one thing - 0°C is not that cold. For another, the Haltech will be using the IAT sensor to tell it how dense the air air, and calculate the correct amount of fuelling. Then the cold start enrichment is added as a % on top of that, so it should scale with the main fuelling. You might also doubt the IAT sensor at this time. You're not using one from an RB26 are you? Using a nice Bosch sensor or similar? Happens. Some wideband units take great pleasure in killing their sensors. Put another wideband in the tailpipe and compare. Or just swap the sensor to a brand new one and see.
    • Oh, my misunderstand. When the car was running, it sounded ok, but if I gave it any gas it wanted to die but caught itself afterwards. It's very different from how it was a couple months ago when it was warmer outside. The logs show that the AFRs are better during, what I assume, is warmup enrichment. Because it's cold, and air is more dense, should I work on the enrichment bit?
