Outline For Skyline cruise on Sunday the 26th of September

11:00am

Meet at Coomera BP/Macdonalds

11:30am

Depart for Hinze Dam

12:00pm

Arrive at Hinze damn

Good chance for people to get some pics, have a chat etc.

12:30pm

Depart hinze dam and head south on M1 to coolongatta, then take a swift left onto the Gold Coast Highway and head north. Will be turning off the Gold Coast highway at Pacific Fair onto Hooker blvd/Nerang Broadbeach rd. From here go straight through to highway and head north on M1. Take the Brisbane rd/Helensvale south exit and head down Brisbane rd and continue on to the Spit where we will wrap things up.

If anyone dosent like this route or has any other ideas feel free to comment and we will change some things around to keep everyone happy.

Hoping for a Massive turnout

sounds pretty good but if you wana go to the hasle of going up gold coast hwy then we might aswell follow it all the way to southport and then head to the spit via mirina mirage exit off gc hwy, it will save doing the big arse detor, also wen u say follow the m1 south to collangatta, were abouts in coolangatta are we gona trun the whole show around? we could exit at currumbin or something, head to the beach, lap past it and continue up the gc hwy, it will keeep us away from the coolangata cop hassles and traffic a bit.

just a few suggestions, otherwise im in and very excited about the setup, well done:)

GOR33, thanks for your input. My reason for the big arse detour is because ithought most people wouldnt want to go through surfers on a sunday arvo because of police. I myself much prefer the idea of going straight through on the Gold Coast Highway but was thinking about what others would probably prefer. As for your idea to go through Currumbin , well i think its an awesome idea, for both the reasons your mentioned. I just dont know Currumbin too well so i just kept with the Coolie idea. But anyway i think the Currumbin idea is a goer. Will make sure I change that when i post up the final route. Keep your ideas comming

Another area you might want to consider is the car park meeting area at BP Coomera for departure, we usually meet in one of the two southern area carparks at the BP not out the front of McDonalds especially on a Sunday morning, there usually just isn't the room.

2 cents

yeh no matter were we go on the coast were gona get split up,everyone should just be aware of each meeting point and things should go smoothly, i know id rather miss the arse end of the group then end up in the back of a fellow skyliner, remeber erins massive cruise, that domino effect thing along smith street was a bit scary:(

as for the currumbin thing, ill mark out the route im thinking of on a map and show ya ok, see what u think.

Rodney the main reason the domino effect happens is that for some reason people seem to think that they need to blend into the middle of the pack instead of joining on the end.

For safety reasons people, please forget about your Ego (i.e "I have to be at the front of the pack") and join on the end so that there are no accidents. We will all get there in the end.

Quite simple really :)

as far as lights/gettin split up goes the only thing i can think of is if this did happen the people at the front could just pull over, for example, if we got split up along hooker blvd/nerang broadbeach rd we could just pull into the carrara stadium carpark and regroup. No ones wants this to be stop start but if we did get majorly split up, which shouldnt happen but if it did that would prob be the way to go? keep the ideas commin, then we will use them all to finalise a route

And as far as metting at bp/maccas goes i didnt mean right out the front of maccas, all up with the maccas parks, the area where the trucks park, around the back, and bp parks, theres should be more than enough i rekon?

Hello lovers of forced induction. and peace out to mr. j_isnoll. i have been waiting to go on a good cruise for a while. i am definitely going to come along. it sounds like there is gonna be a decent turn out. i think the skipping of McthecopsarewaitingformeDonalds is a good idea. as far as getting split up i think that a good idea is that we stick to a channel on the UHF's so if someone does get lost they can just buzz on the radio. plan for a good day.

and if anyone is coming from the redlands area and is a bit faint on where there going or whatever we could meet before and cruise to the starting point(coomera i think) from somewhere in the local area.

ps. yeah that is meant to be j_insoll in the last post. my bad.

    • Welcome.  Glad to hear that you have gained some knowledge that has helped you. I believe the only fix for the power steer belt is an electric conversion with a Holden astra pump. If you get a chance, post pics of your car, please. 🙂
    • Just ordered those bosses, hopefully that does the trick thank you very much everyone for your replies it's really appreciated  
    • to have this type of adjustment possible with a curve as I wish, what budget (engine) should be planned?  
    • People still have Skylines? I thought they're non-existent now. 
    • Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
