So I see more stagea's around the streets of the city of churches than ever b4, some bloody good examples of tissue box glorification at that too, but it approaches on a year since we have had a succsesful cruise, been a couple of fizzes! but no old 25 + stag cruises, pub meals, bakery runs ect ! I am way to busy to organise one but I thought I'd throw the idea out there to any one who does

So does the brother hood of the unicorn live on in Adelaide ????

The local Mr Plod seems to have been instructed to remove imported vehicles of the roads at any opportunity. The thought of 5-10 maybe more imports cruising along albeit within road rules would still prove to irresistible to let pass for any local law enforcement brigade. Its what I've experienced in other vehicle circles anyway.

Thats perhaps just my opinion aswell.

Still if it was away from the metro areas Id head along for a day

Police don't seem to worry about a heap of Camry and Volvo wagons going for a Sunday drive lol its a good family event,

There you are - you've answered your own Q !!!

Mixed Volvo Wagon and Stagea Cruise it is !!!

Anyway in Sept NSW, the Stagea Cruise attracted about 26 Stags.

At the 15th Anniv Cruise we had 23.

Get to it lads!

I think it is caus we grow a little older, and maybe wiser, and there are other more pressing needs. I was 66 when my first Stag arrived. Now pushing 74 and I am just not able to get away from my Art Gallery.

There were a few false starts with the last NSW cruise; but the thing that really helped with this one (IMO anyway) was really good route organisation and a formal lunch venue which required a small (think $10) financial commitment.

Everyone knew where they were going, and were really looking forward to lunch at the other end.

Family & time constraints are a bit B.S. to me; everyone has kids/dogs/houses/sockdrawers to organise, that's life. :/
They're excuses, not reasons; to put roadblocks in the way of things you want to do.

Clear the roadblocks from your life for ONE DAY, and meet up with a bunch of mates with a common interest.
We had people from all stage(a)s of life; kids, and all.

      3D printing fun

      By Sean'O · Posted

      Howdy friends, So another weird one today, I was looking into replacing some broken clips holding the front grille for the R32 GTR (part number 01553-03831), and noticed the brackets which are supposed to hold the grille in place were also missing 😑. I do recall seeing this issue many years ago, but didn't fix it at the time. A quick look on eBay and I was able to find the genuine brackets, along with all the screws which suited the headlights (part numbers 26042-08U05,26092-08U05). Happy days!....  Once they arrived however there was an extra nut in the packaging which implied that there should also be a bolt or a stud, and sure enough, after a bit of searching I found this thread from 2013, and @Ants clearly shows a stud should be present. Reading around a bit more, it's possible the headlights on my car are the "povo pack" headlights as mentioned by @funkymonkey in this thread way back in 2008. This could explain why the studs are missing on my set of headlights. Looking at the headlight diagram I wasn't able to see a suitable part number for the stud itself. The headlight did indeed have a recess that looked like it would accept a stud, but interestingly no thread or anything obvious how the stud would be affixed to the headlight, I suspect it may have been glued in, press fit, or melted into the plastic at the factory. Another member may be able to clarify if they happen to have a genuine set of N1 headlamps. The only thing we have to work with within the recess is a keyway which likely is there to prevent the stud from rotating within the recess. In any case, back to 3D printing, I put together a model which acts like a pug with a friction fit inside this recess, making use of the keyway so it doesn't rotate while tightening a bolt. Printing in TPU will allow it to slightly swell making a nice snug fit without cracking the part. I've designed the adaptor it to accept an 20 mm M6 bolt (stainless with a cap head in my case), as opposed to the standard M5 stud and I made use of the standard galvanised split washer that came with the genuine brackets from Nissan. Once the bolt and screws were all in place, giving the bracket a gentle shake gave the classic "shaking the car" feeling, very solid, which gives me confidence this is going to be able to hold on much better than the janky solution which seems to have been here for the past decade or so. Overall I'm really pleased with how this turned out and maybe there are more people out there running these headlights without a centre stud at all!

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) clogged cat

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      Hey everyone, This is my first post apart of the introduction. I tried searching a bit on the forum but couldn't really get a straight answer. I got the car to my mechanic as I felt it being weak. It seems that it was missing on two cylinders due to the injectors. I had all my injectors clean and the car runs much better. The mechanic also confirmed my suspicions that the cat is clogged and needs to be tackled asap. The cat rattles a bit and the hot exhaust warning frequently lights up when driving after getting the injectors clean. In my introduction I was asked about what modification I might be interested in and mentioned a cat delete. From what I was told, this is not really beneficial on the RB20DE and there are more cons than pros.  Could perhaps anyone give some suggestions on what the best course of action would be since the current cat is toast and needs to be removed/replaced anyway? I can also sometimes smell a strong smell of fuel, but I'm not sure if this is related.

      When I was replacing my pump due to being stranded in the wrong state, I went with the Deatschwerks 320lph kit. It is a direct plug in to the stock wires, harness, everything. It comes with a plug... but you can plug the OEM plug directly into this thing. https://justjap.com/products/deatschwerks-dw300-fuel-pump-nissan-s13-silvia-r32-r33-r34-skyline-c34-stagea?currency=AUD Downside: Won't actually flow that much on boost if you want to push it on E85, but it's comparable to the 040/255 etc. Little more actually.
