I think it's that's Giant Wing on the back of the car.... :)

I'm thinking they couldn't work out why a shopping trolley was at maccas... :P hehe

I'm still buzzing from that cruise. That was my first Skyline cruise. :P

One thing that stands out in my mind is the sight of 20+ Skylines on Pennant Hills road. All those round tail lights. The night echoing with PSSCCCHHTTT'S. Felt like

something out of a movie. I actually turned off my stereo. The sound of all the cars was enough music for me.

Despite the rattle inducing bumpiness of that twisty back road that section was actually quite fun. I loved the noise. Coming up to a tight corner, I'd be going down through the gears and then I'd hear the blow off valves of the cars behind me, one by one doing the same thing. Truly amazing.

I wish I had had a video camera.

Generally the whole cruise was good. The group that I was with were nice and sedate once we hit Newport (good thing), all the way through to Palm. But then at Palm these idiots in Commodores came through, rev'ing and generally being di(kheads. One then proceeded to be really f'ing stupid. Anyway, that made us head back to Newport. If anything I think those idiots made the cops just that much more suspicious of us. No matter what you do it looks like some moron will spoil the fun.

Anyway, thanks again to the orgainser of this cruise. :P

As for the next cruise :)

Track Day anyone???? :D

And as far as windy roads go there's some great ones on the central coast... heaps windy and 80kph unless they've dropped the speed... i mean you might even have to use ur breaks on the corners??? (probably not)...

And yeah soz about the technical ****up with the camera... I think i'm getting a new camera... ($%$#%!@ sony $@#@#$ memory stick @#$@#$!!)

But yeah... bigger meeting point, and I rekon what we should do is get to somewhere and line up all the cars (actually get some ppl to direct the drivers so we don't have 3m gaps between the cars) and take a few photos... (case of how many skylines can we get in a photo and even colour coordinate it)

Half tank of fuel : $20

Pizza at Lucky's: $15

Bu5ter yelling at Shan while he had a nap on the side of the road: Priceless

If only we had a digi cam! The first time I "met" Brett he was threatening to smack me one, and I thought there is no way this mountain man is getting within 5 km of me.. hehe. Scary much!

i was like petrified when I saw this menacing looking bald man yelling gibberish outside my window.... definitely NOT how I like to be woken up :D

good fun tho... thoroughly enjoyed the nite.

      Hello Everyone

      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. 🙂

      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.
