Hehehe, Minh !!! Was damn good meeting you finally, you'll have to disregard my WRX comments .... it was the beer talking :) Unfortunately I had a few work mates leaving on the day so I spent the most of it at the pub ;)

Now that I've met you I say you should take on those keyboard warriors, I rekon they'd end up the worse off :D

Back on the topic of the cruise, it was stated somewhere that "Its a pity you guys couldn't KEEP UP". I'm not too sure how things usually work so if what I'm saying is incorrect, shut me up now :) I thought that cruising involved taking a pace that enabled the pack to stay together, and this is not the responsibility of any position be it front drivers to slow a little or rear drivers to give it some more, but the pack as a whole has to have an awareness of how everyone else is driving, not just how they are driving themselves. They have to stay aware that lights will not stay green forever allowing all cars through, which obviously splits again, and at most Syd intersections your looking at a fair while until your green comes again ...

To me the split seemed to occur from the go at Macca's, I assumed people would get out on the the road, wait up until all cars were started and on the road, and then start off on track.

There was also confusion as some vehicles who were not taking part in the cruise but met up at maccas obviously went different ways either to go home or somewhere else, and if you happened to be following these people well .....

All in all it was still enjoyed .... even if just for the large consumption of take away food :D

LOL Jimbo no probs man. Rather I found you to be a very spunky person in character indeed.

Yes I did meet one of those keyboard warriors once and for the sake of my friends house I didnt do anything but I knew the guy was shit scared. LOL Some people just dont realise when to shut their mouths hey?

So what did you do after the cruise? Did you hang out with shell or go straight home?

Man we should hook up again later on champ.

Spunky ... I can live with that :) I had to come straight cruisin from work so unfortunately you caught me in my work uniform :)

After the cruise, well atleast after the second "cruise" round Sydney to the rocks etc, we all split, Shell and I went back to where she was staying. Had half a beer (had to share ;) ), talked alot (would you believe I talk alot ? I think I'm one of those guys who doesn't know how to shut their mouth :D ) and then called it a night, even though it was 5am .... Walked back to Museum station, hopped a train, back home exhausted after being awake for 23 hours, crashed on the kitchen floor :lol:

We will certainly meet up in the future ! I'm going to have to start going to the gym so when I stand next to you people don't think I'm a twig :D

I only stayed and thornleigh maccas for about 15 mins and went home. I just went to look at the cars, and i must say i was very impressed. I felt sorry for that guy who rocked up in his 180 or silvia, couldnt really see it, which had just suffered a hit a run with only 3rd party insurance.I wanted to drive around with u guys but the night before was kinda a HUGE night so i was feeling kind of tired

:fart:

Mayhem:

from what i understand it was the skyline guys that first organised the cruise, and then you were invited along? If so, then the polite thing to do is let the skyline guys run the show. If they wanna sit around and have a chat then so be it, its their cruise.

The meeting time was 9-9:30, most people got there at like 9:30 when you guys had already been there for ages, again not their fault.

I got there at about 9:30 and was a little pissed when you guys started leaving so early because i only came for a chat at thornleigh.

SDU4EVA:

awwwww was that you in the green rexy.......i was thinking, what kind of idiot would park a wrx in the midst of all the nissans jk :)

I didnt really meet anyone except for mikey in the rolla and a few of andy gsi's mates.

I was the clown who turned up in the smashed s15 :)

Mayhem : check your pm - my knobs comments was in bad taste and i apologise.

Without wanting to sound like some sorta natzi it was a curise that was organised by ONARUN mainly and the skyline forums and keeping everyone together to enjoy the cruising experience is normally more fun.

I wasnt at thornleigh so i will just ask did any of the silvia guys inform the skyliners that they were leaving or did you all just bail?

IM not trying to stir anything up although SEVERAL comments have been made concerning the driving of some of the silvia guys after our last visit to the ridge where a silvia (unknown driver) nearly hit one of our parked cars while trying to drift or handbrake or god knows wot.

There was a lot more communication needed between the organisers and silvia nsw granted.... im not sure who posted the original thread inviting the silvia nsw club but whoever did or does in future should supply contact numbers so we can all stay informed.

once again, "Knob" was a sarcastic comment and not intended as it seemed.....

Nic

FATBUG was an outsider just doing a burnout LOL

Red900s. Dont be like that or I will have to spank your monkey LOL Why couldnt you make it buddy?:)

Xcuzme. Nice car. I am sorry to here what happened. Did you get their details? I hope so and thanks for liking my wrx. Its sexy isnt it? hehehe. I love your rims they are beautiful! well done on such a neat car. You should of came up and say hi. Where abouts do you live again? Around south west? Someone said you lived at Bondi?

Deluded which car did you come in ?

Man I dont care what people say I want a skylinesaustralia cruise next time only so we can establish whos who. So we can sit down and chit chat and even have dinner or a dink guys. ok!

Jimbo you dont look skinny? Well maybe next to my big buldging biceps. LOL:lol:

Well we were not told anything but the meeting time, we all got there and there was a fair amount of people arriving when we did.

We stood around for almost 45 minutes and nobody told us what was happening, so we (mainly Snezy cause he is the main man) started asking whats happening, in the end we made a decision to get going, we thought that either we would head off on our own or people would follow and we could get the cruise on the road. If we left early then I appologise, but we were unaware of whats going on from a lack of information supplied to us.

I must appologise for the actions of that member (even thou I have NFI about them or the incident), we are out to have a good time and sometimes people take it a bit to far, good fun is all well and good, but I would prefer people to do "crazy shit" away from other peoples cars.

BY BY: Appology accepted, maybe next time we can all make sure we know whats happening and the night can turn out better for everyone.

i came in the shit box 1984 prelude. i dont think he got the guys details

it did seem a bit rushed though, cause about 15 mins after i got there everyone left. as i was leaving there was a group of 5 cars leaving alone. i think i would have been better if everyone just followed one another.

Mayhem: thankyou , im friends with Phil and was fumbling for his number to find where u were headed after you left.....

Making sure there is a contact within each club attending organised cruises is important.... it aint easy keeping everyone together.

    • Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
    • Doing a refresh of my 33 and can see a few websites stating they sell the entire main carpet for our cars, but they all have generic photos which is fine, i understand they are custom made to order.  Just seeing if anyone has got it done or had any experience with this, as i would only want to do it if the fit and finish was as good as oem https://carmatsdirect.com.au/products/moulded-carpet-or-vinyl-for-nissan-skyline-r33-1993-1998-coupe https://knoxautocarpets.com.au/moulded-carpets/nissan/skyline/skyline-r-33-1993-1998/
    • Any plans for E85? If so, add flex fuel sensor.   I'd probably add in the sensors I mentioned above if the Link will support using them for engine protection. With water pressure, you need to be able to effectively set it that "If temp > X, and pressure = atmospheric, shutdown" as at running temp, you should be able to read pressure in the cooling system. If pressure suddenly disappears, it means the water went some where, and this is a quicker reaction than waiting on water temp to go up (Which, can take a little longer than you'd like, considering it now has to wait for hot air to heat it up) Oil pressure, Oil temp, both would be on my list too if you're looking to add sensors. Wideband O2. And at least one EGT sensor. If you're feeling deluxe, put in individual runner EGTs. Single EGT sensor is more so forget about a specific number, get used to "What is normal EGTs", and then keep an eye on it, if it starts going away from "normal" it's a sign something is wrong (Also, things like the tune can still start going out of spec, but EGTs may not show it, for example one injector starts running leaning, so ECU richens everything up, now 5 out of 6 cylinders are rich, and running cool, with one cylinder lean and running hotter, so it's not perfect) Then there is your other things to look at non sensor related, but you may have already done, or have underway, and that would be things like building a sump for more oil, and better oil control under high G-Forces (Cornering, brakes, acceleration). Basically, the above is worth looking/thinking about, if the ECU can do protective stuff with it, and you continue to use it how you are (Drive it to the track, thrash it, drive home, repeat once every 3 to 4 months)
    • Can also confirm these work a treat for most balljoints and bushes. If you have access to a big rattle gun, they make the job so much easier and quicker, compared to using a socket wrench or shifter on the c-clamp 👍
    • Its sort of street but got used for circuit sprints on account of I never drive it on the road because I dont have the time to spare. So it usage was sits around for months at a time then gets driven either 50 or 250 kms to the track followed by 20 laps followed by 50 or 250kms home followed by stuck in the shed until next time. So yeah neither fish nor fowl. Just dont want to break it on the track as a preference. Hence the fairly short sensor/mod list. Probably more worried about it pinging itself to destruction more so than anything oil related.
