I had a deerfarm at Yank, so know the roads thru there very well - did you all go via Delamere Rd into Normanville? If so would have been very fast!! ie left-right-left-right, all xxx+ speeds. Damn, pissed now that I left the Vct harbor beach front carpark at 3.50 & headed home. Dang!

Madaz if Id known you were headed to the Pt Noarlunga 'Castle Park' I would have stayed for longer. Sorry all, missed out on those GREAT roads (yes they are bumpy, but that is half the fun, ie speed, bumps, off camber.... I ride them a LOT on my bike), and pissed at myself for not staying for more photos & small-talk.

Hey, everyone took off & left pretty quick from the foreshore, one minute Im showing Coen the 'superfast race cars', ppl start heading and after putting Coen in the baby seat everyones, like, GONE!! hahaha.

Nah, wife was cranky (Teary when I got home, depression maybe after having our 2nd baby 7 weeks ago?), so I had to be home for 5pm, with chinese food! lol

I'll be in it next Sthn cruise for sure - I know a lot of good roads thru there if you wanna tap into my 'road-racing bike experience' mmwwwhahahahahahahaha! Oi, ppls, dont dish me on that comment, Im serious, Ive done thousands of highspeed kms thru those areas.

will be booking my car in for a service this week it picked up a rattle in fifth gear on the way down. Great Job Adam,

we left Normanville and there was a Black R33 following us ( i don't know who i haven't been here long enough) pulled over at a petrol station and met up with the others from Normanville that left in a different direction.

Still simling from the drive and probably will be all week!

That would have been me, i beeped when went past, was a rather slow return after being stuck behind that truck going down the hill.

Should have taken pics of everyone with their cars again to put names to sau names.

BIG thanks to the organisers although didnt meet madaz. Will be up for any other cruises again hopefully new comp and boost controller working this time as running standard boost.

Yeah i thought it was funny that we got stuck just after every overtaking lane ;) .

Do you live down south (flagstaff hill) area as I think i saw you driving home from work today on flagstaff hill rd, if so where do you get your car serviced?

Brendan thanks for leading us out of Victor we thought you were going to the school until we saw you wave and head off up the road with Adelaide and the big arrow on the sign!

Don't be fooled there is another black 33 with same front bar and GTR wing around Flagie, I thought it was him for a while back too, but wheels are ever so slightly diferent. But i do believe they are both up that way!

Missed cruise beacsue of flat bat due to not driving my toy a lot any more... But burnt down the back way (through strath) to victa at bout 3:30 once we got it charged up. heheheheh. Had my mates drive my car (me driving for the windy stuff) hehheheh.

Cruising victa around 4: 5:30 only saw one blue 32 skyline with p plates up. Then drove the back way home.

Would have like d ot catch up with every one again... Oh well maybe next time.

Some good picks.. DId anyone line up that viper?

It would be good to see a worked line blow 2 tonnes of that thing away!

anyone got video... ill ppay money 4 it dammit . lol

as i said b4 great to meet everyone. and max/chapman u should said sumthing i coulda given u a lift im sure others would have as well.

as for us we went to kfc with tony and his cousin. and when we got back no one was there. bumped into 4biden and he said u guys are at the high school and as we were talking a cop car pulled up. so we left anyways cos we had to be at a friends place by 5pm <_<

The artist formerly known as Oosh here, forgot my SAU pwd, and can't get in to my GMail account atm so I'll be Oosh2 (now with 20% more BS) for the short-term.

Anyways, I had a great day, cheers to the organisers! Andrew, my workmate in the S13 with the shitty grey paint job i dragged along, loved it to. Great introduction to local scene.

Great pics thus far, and I'll put up a couple of my own soon, but i want to bring you to the attention of what i feel is the best Skyline photo I've seen yet, period.

Skippy posted it up, this one: http://image-cache.skylinesaustralia.com/f...-1140351961.jpg

Yeah 'lines in a row, pretty nice, now zoom in on the rear of 4DR R33 near right.

Then what you do is: politely ask for the hi-res version (cheers Erin), give it to your workmate who knows his way around PhotoShop a darn sight better than you do, and you end up with this. :P

Enjoy!

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
