Sunshine Coast Cruise - Expression of Interest


Recommended Posts

According to the repairer, i should be getting my car back in around 15 working days from now, if not sooner (so, say friday in 3 weeks time). Just seeing if anyone is interested in a sunshine coast cruise in about a 3 - 4 weekends time? Im just wanting to go on a sedate, leisurely cruise. If you want to race, DO NOT BOTHER COMING...

Hmmmm maybe there...

No racing? :)

I should have made it "no general dickhead behaviour/racing/etc" I'm not saying you guys/girls would, 'coz i've never been on a SAU cruise before (only a newish member and only had a skyline for like 2 weeks) so i don't know what you're all like, but i would prefer to just have a nice sedate cruise, without the worry of excess attention from the constabulary due to some retard/s drifting/racing or something similar.

As for where, i honestly have no idea, i'm open for suggestions. When i go up the coast i usually just go to mooloolaba or something similar. Somewhere where we could just park, have some lunch or something would be nice.

Hey,.im from the sunny coast...mooloolaba is a hot spot...every sunday mostly heaps of cars around..and when there's cars..there's cops around..i dont do much lap lately due to petrol rise HE HE..also,.keepin a low profile..but it'd be nice to meet up for a nice cruize, so count me in..i can organise a place if you all want...just let me know.

Yup...that's my car.. i dont go out drivin her around much..if ever i do..sundays but i dont hang around..just a lap or 2 then home he he...just look for a silver skyline with a big Nismo on the windscreen and that's me...well,..there's gonna be more stickers on them by next week..but still look out for the Nismo windscreen.

If you want to look for/know of some places... sure... they don't have to be local 'hoon' hang outs or anything, just like i said, somewhere to meet, have a bite to eat and talk:cheers:

yea sounds good...im a sunny coaster and can easily put something together for an interesting drive/meet etc..let me know if its going ahead and we'll organise something..

hey how about BYO food and jaz lay back down the park somewhere in maroochydore..? you know...meet and eat and talk and stuff like that then lets all head down the road for a nice cruize... more like a picnic...my GF said that's a bit gay he he...but i reckon sounds a lil laid back sort'a thing...say put all food on the table and share it with other members... i think it's a good idea...any comments..? errrr.....

Yea...theres heaps of stuff we can do...I mean cops on the sunshine coast are completely limp compared to what you deal with down in brissy/goldy so I wouldnt take them into consideration really. We can meet at a number of places and the Hill at moloolabah would be great for this sort of thing..theres plenty of parking most of the time, if not on the side of the hill, at the top and theres bbq's seats etc. Not to mention the great view. Plus many SAU members already know where it is....

    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
