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.

    • I replaced the whole clutch line with the chase bays braided hose, I think it removes that loop, is it the short hose that comes immediately off the slave or is there a drawing in the manual to find what you’re referring to? It was just re-bled when I upgraded to the nismo slave, old slave worked fine but I thought that might help, didn’t change a thing. It’s like the first half of the pedal is pushing air and then when it finally actuates the master the friction zone is tiny. Makes it practically impossible to launch the car
    • Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.
    • I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it
    • If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣
    • I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.
