Yeh which kinda brings up the point of calling these get togethers a race day rather than a cruise day.. i mean wot the hell?? are we not supposed to be a big convoy? was there not supposed to be someone leading the PACK??? which at first count was 24 with numbers falling through the day... I think the organization and leadership of these so called cruises should be given to someone who's not out there to prove that they have the fastest car or can drive the craziest... after all it doesn't help being singled out as hoons because we drive Skylines and i think we get enough bad press as it is. Yesterday was a great day... weather wise, and the few of us who stuck together through it had a really good time enjoying the drive.. personally i think the organization sucked and it all started from the word go when the leaders did not even bother to check that the group was together from Maccas. This is my opinion which i'm entitled to and of course it's your own choise if you, the people that attended, agree or not.

End friggin rant!

Me too ruk. No one forced anyone to drive the way they did.

I had fun. The fast straights were a bit, "how's your father...". But the corners were fun. Lots of fun.

Awesome day!! Very awesome day!! One of the most fun cruises I've been on. There were no problems, and things went pretty smoothly. I know the group I was in had fun. Even on the way back. :(

Where's phat32, why hasn't he chimed in yet?

100?? holy shit.. that's nuts

I'm in two minds about mar55s' post... I mean i wasn't aware that the rest of the pack wasn't with us when we left maccas.. but i thought the purpose of the re-group at the butterfly farm was supposed to fix that??

In regards to the driving, yeah some places were a little spirited ..... but i think generally.. the group i was with anyway kept well within their limits.

But as the guy who sent us on our way Majanal?? said, there was going to be a leader setting the pace and those who wanted to have a go could overtake and drop back later...that would have worked well.

So I guess in a weird way that means I agree with you MAR55S

leisurely? bahhaha.. i checked the peak speed for the day in my car and it was 1xxkph... duno when i did that though, dont quite remember eva going that fast, lol

Mate your a f**king idiot for doing that on a public road. I recommend that the Exec Committee teminate your SAU NSW club membership for bringing the club into disrepute at a club event.

what the hell? i was at the back of the group just trying to keep up. its not like i do that kinda thing at all. gezz :( u ask other ppl that was there, if they noticed i was back with MAR55S, r3vit, and a few of the other guys, who actualy wanted to have a 'cruise' not a race. and even then i wasnt able to keep up very well and had ppl pass me.

so if ur acusing me of being a hoon and speeding past ppl and being an idiot or sum crap like that, get the facts about it b4 saying things like that please.

just adding to that, i didnt, or even wanted to, over take any other person on the cruise, i was overtaken many times, proberly cause i was going too slow. and that speed was proberly done when i had to over take other trafic quickly in small spaces to keep up with every1 else (which i wasnt able to do anyway) ..

thanx, this realy makes a new member feel welcome ;)

    • Welcome Leigh. While it's possible someone knows something about your car, there are so many in the country, it's likely they won't. Either way, I hope you enjoy it and find the knowledge you seek here.
    • Welcome!  Pics of GU and 370z? It's amazing how side tracked we can get with life.
    • G'day. More deets on your patrol? Unless, it's in a d22?
    • So next year I am looking at upgrading from my VE SS bomadore ute to something more refined.  I wanted to stick with a V8 but not anything German or Australian, either a coupe or a sedan. So if I wanted anything newish that limited my options to either the Lexus RCF which I quite like. But with the price they demand and a kid on the way a 2 door coupe is probably not going to be the best idea. The next best thing would be the ISF but the newest models are 2014 and commanding over 60k and even the older 2008 models in ok condition starting around 35k is kind of bullshit. So I figured if I could not have the noise I could perhaps make do with easy power. Enter the infinity Q50 or Skyline equivalent. The price difference between the 300 and 400hp models seems a bit crazy. Right now there is 300hp Q50 one on carsales from a dealer with 61km for 27k drive away. If I wanted to get a 400hp Red or 400R car the prices seem to start at 43k From my limited research it seems that the only differences are that the 400r/Red Red runs more boost and a more aggressive tune. There are are turbine speed sensors on the turbos. Has 2 pumps for the water to air intercooler. Runs an engine oil cooler. I'm guessing that the exterior trims might look a little more sporty as well. I had a lazy look for upgrades to bridge the gap on z1motorsports They have kits that upgrade the water to air heat exchanger as well as the coolant pump which should give a non Red/400r better intercooling temps than the stock Red/400r. I added an engine oil cooler with a thermostat as well to try and make things as close as possible. Obviously the ECU is going to need a tickle. Having not done much in the way of research they also sell a ECU flashing tool with pre loaded tunes that are supposed to boost the non Red/400R by 100hp which adds 1k USD to the cost. The total cost of the parts @ the current time including shipping and taxes worked out to be $4350 AUD. Personally I would rather get the car tuned on a dyno which would probably add more cost Assuming the worst that you got a workshop to install the new parts I would guess no more than 5 hours would be required in the worst case @ 5 x $150 per hour = $750 So the total cost could be around $5100 So for easy number 5k + 27K = 32k I guess that would leave some change left over to swap out the open diff and fit a LSD Any thoughts?      
    • Right, not sure why I thought it to be a lean spike. It might be fixable with modern card-style hot film MAFs which have some design features to avoid counting reversion flow but I've never tried it myself.
