[SSSeeker]

[clegga]

Car started running like pus so its a no show for me :(

[MrOrange]

James today must be "oh I forgot half the club have GA16DE's" day :p

I think a GA16DE would be faster :lol: More comfortable tho :p

[SSSeeker]

Sorry to all those who were troubled by the police.

..Next months cruise is definetely going to be quieter..

Welcome Todd with his shiny new N16 with 15,000 k's on the clock! And also the other green N16 which is undergoing a turbo conversion.. sweet!

Thanks to Matt and Steve for letting me borrow their phones for a quick call - I think its safe to say that's the longest lunch break I have ever taken at work.. :lol:

[chrissstine]

wow, wat an eventfull one... Sori to hear bout the police. Thanks to ma fave roko boi josh (vipulsr) i luckily avoided goin to joondalup. As for the stop after that, well... lets just say we used too much fuel than needed...o_O

[Lonewolf]

sorry to Matt for following me at scarbs, phone call + cops ahead + lost map = me going home

map looked awesome, hope no major issues with police :(

altari: good to catch up, 300 looks tidy
lots of tidy pulsars!

[SSSeeker]

Also good to see you come out and play Blake; that thing sounds so fat (the swaybar is also fat).

[keepitreal07]

yea sorry bout the small detour to neaves road.....my mistake......

but good cuise in all

and i did 300km from home->home so yea i used a bit of fuel to.....

i think it a 100% vote that we never going to joondalup again hehehe

[Drif10_N15]

hmmm yer i dont think joondalup will be coming up again atleast for a long time lol
woohoo i got yellowd!! o well haha
anyone got a sss N15 stock exhaust??

haha

[MrOrange]

Good to see you all again, ive missed a couple of recent ones :)

The police attitude really did leave alot to be desired, I'm their biggest fan but they certainly weren't helping themselves last night. Good luck to those of you who have to visit the pits, I don't think you'll have many dramas getting cleared.

[dusan]

hey guys it was a good cruise, till cops turned up

good luck to everyone with the yellow

:thumbsup:

[clegga]

Glad I wasnt there then, my new exhaust would have got me a yellow easy

[ozan]

dam! sounds like an eventful night! imagine if i got yellowed for bald tyres the week b4 i sold my car!! jesus christ lucky i didnt come.. well i gave the sss to its new owner yesterday afternoon :) i think he has plans to turbo it hehe

[Altari]

I'd have to agree there man - generally unless you do something stupid the police will give you a fair go, and treat you with some form of respect. Unfortunately the acting sargeant last night just seemed to have a bit of an ego problem. It's cops like these who give all cops a bad name unfortunately.

Oh well, yellow removal time. Love to see what the pits say. :lol:

[Drif10_N15]

lol yer andrew your sticker reason was crappy!!

now where do i take it?? lol anyone have any adress's??

[ox2k]

eventful night. cheers to matt for providing me with a left. Sorry guys i led you guys the wrong way. I was frantically searching through the UBD for the correct path and didn't know joondalup drv crosses wanneroo rd twice...and i led you guys to the wrong direction. Anyhoo, eventful...a bit of an adventure really.

[PULSSSE]

who got yellows?

[chrissstine]

all in good fun... atleast we can say it wasn boring...

[SSSeeker]

Dusan (tyres)
Rosco (headlights and exhaust)
James+Jocelyn (exhaust)
Andrew (exhaust)

Not too sure on Dusans brother - he left in a hurry tho

Christine ~ you werent even at the cop stop :p
Gaz ~ glad you didn't go! They would of had a good old time!

I just can't get over that cops attitude .. "okay, whos next." after slapping the sticker on dusans car ..

[HIDNPSI]

lucky i met u guys at the next spot otherwise i would be gone as well haha.
gd catching up with u guys

[keepitreal07]

what was wrong with rosco head lights.....

[UNEEQ]

I think that was Jame's & Jocelyn's headlights, not Rosco's... But at the end of the night, a yellow + over pits = exerything squeeky clean.

Sorry about everyone who ended up with a defect. I was actually surprised they didn't do more cars than they did. As James said on the night, it's their discression, and they don't need a real reason, they just need to request you have the car inspected at the pits and they can slap a yellow on it.

I'd be interested to know if Dusan's brother managed to get away without a defect also.

[keepitreal07]

he did......the police told him to leave....they tried to pick but duson back him.....

[clegga]

Maybe useful in future to stop quoting this:

Re Group #1: Lakeside Joondalup
Re Group #2: Dianella Plaza
Re Group #3: Beatty Park

Maybe just suburbs at most....this forum is easy for anyone to sign up to so I'm sure its monitored

[keepitreal07]

what happen is we all hanging out and all of a sudden a booze bus pulls into the car park where maccas are.....i think they just getting food.....not make revanue that night and we unlucky really

but point taken.....

[MrOrange]

Maybe just suburbs at most....this forum is easy for anyone to sign up to so I'm sure its monitored

Yeh we are wary of this, hence why we only ever give maps out on the night now, never posting them up.

Joondalup shopping centre is a huge place, nothing sinister about it, just in the wrong place at the wrong time unfortunately. As Matt said, they would have originally pulled up to get food at macca's, we were just an easy target...

Another good quote.

Me - "So what are you doing mate?"
Him - "Just havin' some fun..."

Lovely...

I think car cruises just have a bad name in general, I'd like to think PPGA are very well behaved compared to other cruises... they've picked on the wrong crowd on this one.

[ozan]

all i know is, i was super lucky for letting my car go b4 this cruise haha

[Lonewolf]

my cop radar made me go home early, works well!
would have been done for sure for suspension and exhaust

[SSSeeker]

The cruise wasn't as sexy after you left Blake :(

Bring on the Sunday arvo cruise! Dont have to take a 3 hour lunch break from work to attend!

[Drif10_N15]

na i didnt get done for headlights.. that was ross
i just think its funny they couldnt get me anything else at all... they even checked all my seatbelts and opening my glovebox and centre console...

i just dont get why pick on a group of 10-15 in pulsars...

[vipulsr]

hmm yeah was quite interesting, you can tell the look in their eyes the minute they got out of the booze bus, that they were just trying to please their own agenda. I just avoid cops full stop now like most people here would, when their pissed off they'll yellow you for anything. How lucky was I my car never got looked at once! bahahaha
Highlight of the night: Altari's mrs Candy saying "JOSH OMG THEIR GOING TO STICKER YOUR CAR" me:"Why Candy????" Candy:"FOR NO REASON AT ALL!!!"
lol :) once again sorry to the people who got stickered and thanks for making my mate nathan welcome, hes a new n14 ti owner so yeah he thought you were all quite welcoming :D

[rosco]

Yeah sorry i left early guys that put a huge downer on my night i went str8 home to bed after just getting it all back together they do this would anyone be able to give me some direction into how i go about getting my car over???

i really don't want to have to cchange everything back.

and eactly what they check an help would be great from someone who has take n a turbo pulsar over the pits before.

hope everyones night turned out better.

[PULSSSE]

what you get sticker for rosco?

[vipulsr]

Think was for exhaust, i think neway

[couchizle]

im glaD I WAsnt there i was lowering mty car tht night and i done have an exhaust from the rear wheels back.

[Lonewolf]

hope everyones night turned out better.

in general:

100mm road clearance to everything
no oil leaks
no exposed pod (if possible)
no atmo bov (if possible)
check all indicators, lights etc
quieten exhaust (supposed to be under 92dB)

[MrOrange]

no exposed pod (if possible)


Just needs to be properly secured.

[SSSeeker]

Dr_Twist says:
i just heard the pulsar cruise got owned *EDIT: I told you not to post that shit y0*
Dr_Twist says:
i know why as well
Sean says:
why
Dr_Twist says:
a PWRX cruise went through there 10mins before your cruise did
Dr_Twist says:
flogging it and shit, racing, doing burnouts

there's your answer guys. tracked from narrows to joondalup.

Dr_Twist says:
if your in a private carpark, just tell the police to walk, they have no power to issue a yellow sticker on private land

^^^ someone want to confirm this? sounds legit to me

[clegga]

My gtir went thru east perth pits with atmo bov and exposed pod. Had to have a restrictor pipe in the cannon but it was only held in with one screw lol (did have an engineers report saying it was 92db)

[Drif10_N15]

hmmm do these "restrickter pipes" work? coz my cannon has a screw hole in it?

[raddavey]

Sorry to hear about all the yellows. No doubt if i went I probably would have got one aswell.

So Since when are ATMO BOV's legal? Thats the only main illegal thing on mine and ive been thinking about getting a plumback for it. (Anyone know of a good plumback??)

[PULSSSE]

double post

[PULSSSE]

i have a permit for my atmo bov i guess if it not too loud they will give you a permit for it

[Lonewolf]

yes, BOV and pod can get through, does make things easier if you swap over stock airbox though.

as for not issuing a yellow in a carpark, if its connected to the public roads, and open and used by the public then its classed the same as the roads

[UNEEQ]

Dr_Twist says:
if your in a private carpark, just tell the police to walk, they have no power to issue a yellow sticker on private land

^^^ someone want to confirm this? sounds legit to me

Even if they didn't have any power, what's to stop them waiting at the exit to the car park until people are on public roads?

As soon as we wanted to leave we'd have been just as screwed, unless we all jumped into my nice new car and James' Astra!!! And left the other cars there the night (yer RIGHT, like that's gonna happen)

too true, my dad is a police officer and is constantly warning me that the forums of ALL car clubs are moniterd and they target them in the aim to prevent people showing off and "hooning" Its just a pitty the PPGA got targeted this time, as everytime ive attended a cruise most people have been well behaved.

[MrOrange]

Dr_Twist says:

I think you guys are forgetting this was a booze bus, they didn't know we were going to be there and they didn't come just to get us. The coppers were on a break after being on Hodges drive for the last 3 hours and went to McDonald's for food. I think the best lesson learnt is not to park near fast food outlets :lol:

We've never had police deliberately come and give us hassle at one of our meet spots yet. I believe this is because we never draw attention or cause any trouble, which is why we frown upon any dodgy shit like burnouts ( :gay: ) on any of our cruises. The only times it ever occurs is when somoene brings their dodgy mates in their full sik RWD cars. If we had people in Pulsars continually doing burnouts at our meet points they would be told to go home.

[clegga]

hmmm do these "restrickter pipes" work? coz my cannon has a screw hole in it?

like this:

[MrOrange]

Restricted alright! I thought they had to be welded in? Does the job hey?

[clegga]

An exhaust shop should be able to make/supply. Even heard of them lending one out b4. You car will sound like a 79 corolla with a hole in the muffler but it should be legal.

[clegga]

I still have the stainless cap from my old 5zigen somewhere. would only suit prolly 4" + tip tho

[clegga]

This is the one that went over the pits:

[MrOrange]

Are u talking to yourself? lol

[clegga]

Obviously I didnt know I'm a schizophrenic lol

[SSSeeker]

Dare you to do a dyno run with one of those things on.

[clegga]

Yeh the difference in power sucks!

[Altari]

Just to be on the safe side, I got two triple-pass mufflers installed today.

Zed is now quieter than mummy's toyota camry.

http://perthpixels.com/300zx/exh2.jpg

[Altari]

That said I really do hope that Acting Sgt T. Pillage (badge 9350) realises I wanted to make the car as quiet as possible anyway, and laziness was the only reason I didn't.

I think I went a bit overkill though :lol:

[keepitreal07]

you need twin exits bro.....but still looks mint being black....you have a thing for black hehe

[Lonewolf]

how bad did they kill the power (what little you had :D )
need to quieten mine down soon, and ditch the 5" wank tip

[ox2k]

I remember passing by a stock Z32 turbo other day and it was much quieter than yours. So, i think yours was quite a bit loud =P

[vipulsr]

bahahaha altari, now its as quiet as my stock exhaust was, except not the size of a peashooter haha

[Altari]

I remember passing by a stock Z32 turbo other day and it was much quieter than yours. So, i think yours was quite a bit loud =P

Yer the exhaust was standard, but mufflers were pretty hollow.

Even then, I don't think it was anywhere near the 90+db.

Either way, I wanted to get her as quiet as possible anyway, and this makes it much better. Really sounds nice and quiet. I'm going to show off the lack of sound at the next cruise :lol:

Girlfriend enjoys the silence too.

[rosco]

Awesome andrew good work,

thanks for tips fella's

i'm gonna start sorting my car next week hopefully and get it all finished b4 i take it over.

anyone know how effective those Apexi Exhaust restrictors are you know the electronic ones?? might just get one of those an hopefully save me hassles in the future..

[Altari]

Rosco have you done the engine swap form yet?

Just go to your local DPI and ask for a change of engine number form. They don't even ask if it's turbo or not :p

[Lonewolf]

Awesome andrew good work,

very effective (at sound and power strangulation)
xforce offer a whole muffler with one built in called "varex", probably cheaper...

[Altari]

Rosco, if you get the apexi ECV, you don't need to get an electronic one. You can get a manual one, costs about $400 total I think!
