EDIT: Deleted. I suggest everyone calm down, take a chill pill - and remove any mention of anything they think would be best kept to themselves, and for the next cruise - keep their head about them, and the reputation of SAU in their mind at all times...

Ummm... This was supposed to be a photo thread of a day that I thought was really fun.

Did all this crap come up after the same cruise last year? If so, thank God I didn't go. If this is going to happen after every cruise then I don't think I want to cruise with you people anymore.

Well I was there in the white R32 GTR with ACT plates, and had a pretty good cruise... it was very similar to last years. Its a public road, people are going to get seperated, and people are going to want to go for spirited driving... thats why there are the regroup points to make sure everyone arrives ok.

The only problem I had was with one certain car who made a point of overtaking me for god knows what reason, then slowing right down and splitting the group into two... and then when an overtaking lane came up and I went to pass, seemed to speed up to try and keep up/stop me... by the way mate, your car is blowing shitloads of blue smoke (oil)when on boost, you should get it checked out (white R33 GTSt, possibly with Veilside bits on it...)

And my apologies for blowing smoke on any cars behind me, shes running a bit rich and needs a tune :)

Anymore pics people? did anyone get any pics of my car? The day was pretty good.

Wilch...No one complained last year that i know of, it was a great day, and all the other cruises i've been on were sweet too. I hope a couple of negative comments don't discourage anyone from coming on more cruises.

Guys as you know, this is a public forum and SAU NSW is a official club with CAMS backing and all.

Those who have volunteered to run the committe can be held personally responsible for anything that goes wrong at an event. Imagine the damage done to the club's public image if a car had left the road travelling over the speed limit (not to mention the driver of the car).

I couldn't make the cruise, but please keep in mind we ran under the rules of CAMS insurance and regulations and that includes sticking to the speed limit.

My suggestion for what it is worth is that....those who might have posted suggesting they went quicker than they should have....please edit your posts....and if you want to discuss things like this please do them inside the private, members forum.

Anyway, that aside, I hope everyone enjoyed the cruise and had a great day out.....and...

PICSORBAN!

sorry to bring this up again but its the last time ill talk bout it.

i just wanted to clear things up a little as alot of ppl seem to have jumped to a conclusion about it all.

'That' speed, was done when i was over taking another car on the rd.. i had already comited to over taking the car when i saw another coming down the road towards me. if i had stayed at the speed i was going, i wouldnt be talking to any of you right now, and would proberly be ina body bag. ya proberly thinking that i should have slowed down and just gorn back in behind the car, but thats a little hard when the car that was behind me had already filled that gap, yes i did check, so the only other way to get out of the way of the car coming head on was to speed up and get around the car that i was passing, and thats when that top speed was proberly done.

i was at the back of the pack for pritty much the entire cruise, i was holding other up as well, as i had many ppl pass me (hence y i was at the back most of the time).

like ffs, im not a hoon, ive never been pulled over, fined, or even had a cop question me about my car. i wana stay alive so i dont go speeding around at crazy speeds or being an idiot, and if ppl are gona have goes at me for this.. well i guess im not wanted here.

good to see you sydney guy's up to the hunter.

ranicx make your mind up mate!! one post said you didnt know when this speed was done (which tells us that you where probably speeding alot. does it not??) and now your using it as a excuse for over taking a car which was probably unnecessary. not that i give a shit but it's one way or the other.

      Hello, Newbie, anyone know my 32's history?

      By luke gtr · Posted

      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.

      Thinking of getting a Q50 300hp and just tuning it instead of getting the Q50 Red or 400R

      By 180 wanabe · Posted

      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?

      Blow Off Valve Is Causing Car To Stall!

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      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.
