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. =)

    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
    • I'm interested,do you still have it?
