Just interested to see if anyone is keen to do a cruise in memory of Paul Walker.

As he was a car enthusiast and his pick of cars was the nissan GTR family

I feel it would be a good thing to do.

I dont have dates or times as it is EOI. Any idears, tips or help would be great

I did try to post this up on sunday but it didnt make it on to the web site and have

since noticed a club caled downshift australia have also organised a charity cruse

for Paul Walker and are expecting 700+ cars to attend. Maybe we can combind

both parties together. What is everyones thoughts

The DS cruise is donating to the charity that Paul was working for when he was killed. It's his charity I believe, reach out world wide.

I would love to do a cruise in my skyline for him but I'm in NSW and can't make the DS one

yeh im not sure how they do a charity for his death. What i think is Paul Walker was doing a charity car cuise when the crash happend for the natural disaster in the philippines. The organization was caled REACH OUT WORLD WIDE so from what i understand is this downshift club is doing this charity in memory for Paul Walker and to fundraise for ROWW

I was toying with the idea of going to the DS cruise. I've heard they get some police attention at their meets as well which may not be the best.

an issue thats aparently been fixed. im going for sure this will be on par with Jaf's in adelaide which sees 1000 plus caras yearly

LOL how to you stop police from pulling over cars on a public road? especially when there meets are known for high amounts of illegally poorly modified cars and had a crack at the police in brisbane times...

Be like saying Im opening up a herion station in a park... but its for charity so the police presence has been fixed.

Letters have been going back and forth between DS, Campbell Newman & QPS. I believe I read that even Newman criticised the actions of the QPS on the meet a few months back with the mass defect station

Public safety is the priority for the police.

Downshift are a business and make money by allowing blatantly defectable cars into their meets (no internal efforts to clean up their own image).

End of the day it takes a ten minute google search to find people consistently complaining about burnouts each month, google images shows the types of vehicles that go, there was a car written off at one meet and downshift put up images on their facebook of cars doing burnouts and saying f**k you to the new laws....

Wouldnt be hard for QPS to put forward a legitimate case for their actions.

      I need more than help to finish my R33

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't use that manifold. Please don't use that manifold. Sunk cost fallacy is not worth the later pain. None of these will be relevant to the change that will come from the different turbo and manifold. As in, the effect of the exhaust will be nil, regardless of what else is changed. And all the cam and fuel system stuff is not changing either way, so has no effect. The turbo and manifold (and to a small extent the wastegate)....big change.

      Just wanted to say thank you for your input   my man (lead mechanic by trade) and I have done a heap of work as you can imagine just to make the hot side work with the dump pipe, stupid massive intake on turbo, trying to get the waste gate on was not fun.  I’m kinda getting to the point where I don’t know if I try and make this work and not throw all this cash and time away or do I scrap the lot and start again? the Apexi I’ve got was tuned for a few slight differences:   Tomei pon cams (mine are stock neo) Turbo smart 38mm external waste gate (mines 45mm replumbed) with stainless screamer pipe  3inch turbo back exhaust with high flow cat Sard 800cc top feed injectors Sard adjustable fuel pressure reg

      Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i.

      Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.

      Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.
