ill see most of you there....where are we meeting up again??? i couldnt see anywhere that we are going to catch up. hope the cops arent to bad on the weekend...it will be a slow cruise down.

Yeha hope theres not too many cops around. I was hoping to have my new rears this week, but that ain't happening, so I reckon I'll be taking it easy anyway.

I wave to any line I see too, and especially to the identical Wine Red one getting around!

I don't get many waves back either, sometimes I think it's cause some people think they're too good for it, but I have a theory that it may be because of the dark tint we all have! :headspin:

Maybe it'll be better once we meet each other eh :rofl:

Hey guys, i'm from newy too.....well lake maquarie. I'll prob come in on mon as well.

anyone up for a cruise down to the central coast on the 15th of May?

we could drive down to the haven via swansie way

Hey guys, having some problems with mis-firing lately.

This topic has people with exactly the same problem as me:

Wondering if any of you guys could show me how to fix this cause im no backyard mechanic :P

I had this same problem, it was easy to do. It was just a matter of undoing whatever is in the way of taking of the cover to reveal the coil packs. Then taking out each coil pack and taping it up. Once you start undoing things you will get the idea. And if you are worried take a few pics as you are doing it so you remember what goes where. Hope this helps :)

hey SATO_GTS, havent seen u since drift nats at oran park last year, hows the 31? havent seen it round for a while now. must be going good by now.

Another Newy skyliner... Well I'm moving to Manly next week but I'll be back in Newy on weekends.

Gota white r33 GTS-t, Gold dished rims, UH OHH plates, Stealth boot wing. *I've seen a clone of my car in newy!, who's that!?*

Haven't been cruising in bloody ages.. been so busy with new job & having no money *for excessive petrol use* from living in Syd during week... Gezzz I’m getting real sick of paying $1.20 - $1.25 *BP Ultimate* every time I fill up… errrrr :S

Hey Guys - went for a cruise today around 4pm to foreshore and meet Dean. Top bloke! And saw another bloke with a schmick White R33 yell out to me, and a R33 GTR wth gold mags too. So hope all you blokes can make it tomorrow too.

Speaking of tomorrow, i fear the foreshore will be closed for ANZAC celebreations, so Dean and I thought it would be best to meet at Bar Beach carpark, that way everyone will have no troubles parking etc.

So hope to meet ya all, around 3:30pm tomorrow at Bar Beach carpark :rofl:

yeh i heard there was a bike race or something going on over sun + mon. was gonna suggest bar beach carpark... besides, if the forshore is open, there will be dicks galore down there as usual.... the forshore has gotten pretty lame over the years.

will be there, so will the 180.

Yea Mark that is probably me, im from Thornton.

Anyway. Today was a great day. Was good to see some faces and meet some new people.

A few guys had some cameras so I expect some pics will be uploaded soon.

There were about 12 cars that showed up and 9 of us went for a cruise to spears point. Looked heaps good.

Untill next time. Have fun!

yeh, it was a good day...very enjoyable. took heaps of photos. so ill post em later...bit tired at the moment.

the cars started going from rice boxes to hiluxs around the turnoff to maitland on the freeway...back home again! :)

cheers

    • 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.
