They want us off the roads and to not congregate in groups. Fullstop. It doesn't matter how legal your car is, if they decide they don't like you or your group, they will lock down the carpark and go over you all car by car. I have had this done before on an NS cruise some years ago - 150 cars were checked vigorously for defects (and something like 30 were issued full Regency defects) - they blocked off both entrances of the Newton Shopping Centre carpark and it took some guys 4 hours on lineup to get out, while they checked each car out with a fine tooth comb.

AHHH good times those:)

We are not saying don't organize a cruise. There are different ways of organizing a cruise. First of all should have kept the start date, time and place to a pm. This prevents all retards rocking up to the cruise as this forum is open to the public.

Either way, even I might make an appearance. You never know hehehe. Good luck with the whole cruise mate.

Hmmm this thread is cool !!!! Pull the pin and surprise the grenade went bang who could of guessed. Not being negative but a lot of the guys trying to give you guidance or suggestions have been in the car game along time ,like myself 20+ years and have owned everything from v8 funny doors to rotisserie and rice burners to family shopping wagons, and I can tell you now more than ever we are an endangered ,targeted species ,for what ever reason you choose safety, revenue . There is always a safe professional way of doing things that keeps everybody happy .

The most disturbing trend is the one where the guys are selling there vn's and buying 33's it will not do the scene any good we will end up with RSK not RCK :(

Haha, I think this was the one when I got one of my many "emit undue noise" fines in my pewter S15 for doing a 2nd gear standstill when leaving the carpark. Cops kept me there for 1.5 hours in the freezing cold while a Regency specialist was called out to try to defect my car - and they couldn't find a single thing - he even congratulated me on how nicely and legally modded my car was. Those were the days!

Ahhh, the good ol' days ;)

I have heaps of feeback and messages from people saying there going you think they haven't been on a cruise before and they don't know what cops are like wake up!

Was there supposed to be a comma in there somewhere?

-D

so whens the next cruise? ..........I'm So keen!!!Not :rofl:

Liking the idea of Joining SAU SA and getting involved with your cruises and events and steering clear of the kinds of events published in this thread....especially with operation falcon, aka operation defect every f*#@King import you can, that seems to be happening in Radelaide at the moment.

I find it the most ironic thing in the world that a heap of us who have been around the block said "don't do it like this, you are asking for trouble", and then we haven't seen a single post from Ben or anyone who said they were going on the cruise since. So how was the cruise - was there any police or bogan trouble?

That was sooo long ago, lol. I didn't go, but pretty sure Ben said there was no trouble, I have caught up with him a cpl times.

has the SAUSA membership sign up been fixed yet?

PM me if you guys are arranging something please. =)

    • That seems like a very special issue!  Does it affect both sides? Either way, I would disconnect the driver's side switch and see if it still happens, noting that might require removal of the whole door card which is a bit of a pain (it does on V37 and HY51)

    • I currently have a 2008 370GT Coupe, with the big brakes (Akebeno if I'm correct), and Its coming time to get new pads. Previously, I had a 2003 350GT Coupe with the stock sized brakes, not Brembos. I had custom wheels on it that were pretty open to the brakes, and when I first put the wheels on it, the rims where completely coated with brake dust. A few years after adding the new rims, I needed to change to pads on that car. I didn't do any research, but I told the mechanic of the problem with the brake dust. I also told him I didn't track the car or even drive around the streets harshley. But the dust was an issue. The mechanics changed the pads to a different compound, and the dust was GONE! The other change I noted was that when coming to a complete stop, instead of having to press harder on the pedal as I approached 0kph, I had to actually lift off a little to not come to a hard jerky stop.( My unfounded explanation is they became stickier as they heated by stopping ) Since I got my 370gt with big brakes, I noticed that that as I came closer to stopping, I had to press harder and harder to reach a full stop. I am not talking about hard, just harder. I brought the car in from another state, so when I had a blue slip done, I asked the mechanic what he thought of the brakes, and he thought they were brilliant. The only negative of these pads on the 350GT, was that they squealed when cold. So driving out of a shopping center carpark, it was a little embarrassing, as the brakes squealed, and I am sure people thought that I needed new brakes, when they were actually fresh. I have no idea of what type of compound they were on the 350gt, but whatever it was, I want to get the exact same on my 370GT. They weren't ridiculously expensive, and were replaced at the local JAX (which is no longer open), so I am certain they would be a pretty common big brand, off the shelf type/brand. My current mechanic suggested I need top get the rear pads changed soonish, but he suggested standard Brembo pads. Which I expect to behave the same as the current ones and not like the ones on the 350GT.  I don't think dust will be an issue on the 370GT. With the behaviour I describe above on the 360GT, does anyone have a suggestion of pad material that will act like the change I had done on the 350GT?
    • The consult isn't even OBD1. It's a Nissan Consult. Proprietary.   Re read everything I've said. I specifically say, put down the laptop/tablet. Understand, and review the issue first. Logging voltages is the same as logging the converted value. Things like O2 that you say to log, is unusable for this, whether it be the voltage, or the value the ECU thinks.   The fact you don't know how to diagnose without looking at the computer, is exactly what I've said multiple times is the issue for why techs these days can't diagnose the fun issues with cars.
    • Breather for it. If it's anything like the GTRs it should run up to the top of a bellhousing bolt.
