Thanks.

I am keen [as mentioned in GP thread].

We may end up needing a few different meet points - ppl in the city / east could meet closer to city [perhaps near docklands?], ppl in west could meet somewhere central to them [werribee plaza?] [or just geelong] and then the main point somewhere in Geelong is probably the go I reckon.

Cardinia Park / Shell Stadium in Geelong [football ground] has a pretty big car park area, and is on the main highway too! [would have to check if there is an event on for that day though].

My Bro works in Geelong. i could ask him about a meet point if need be.

FYI: from chadstone s/c to torquay takes me 1hr 15mins on a good run [speed limited to 100kmh of course].

Oh SWEET!!!

Gald i found this thread.

I'd be KEEN as. Count me in 100%

I'd love to take the R for a burn.

Is it a drive down there monday.... come back monday ?

If it's an overnighter... we can go as far as Apollo Bay and stay there.

I've got a holiday house.

Can only sleep 4-6, rest in tents.. plent of lawn space.

I'll have to work out if i can have it 100%.... depends on the level of interest.

My vote is a meet at shell staduim.

Near the end of geelong so it can be used as a catch-up point as well.

When the R31 forums come back up i'll post it over there as we are thinking of exatly the same thing that weekend :D

Sweet, finally I get to meet you guy's!

Just got my GTS-4 2 weeks ago, needs a few things done to it but will definitely go to this cruise:)

Can I suggest a meeting place?

Geelong waterfront botanical gardens, on the top carpark facing Corio Bay. It's a good place to take a few pics too:D

Any disagrements with Geelong waterfront botanical gardens? I ain't local so speak up if it ain't good. Meeting point is Geelong cause some of us NSW people don't know the ins and outs of the city. I know how to get to Geelong, but someone's gonna have to show me where this garden is. Also be on the look out for a silver R32 GTR with www.skylinesaustralia.com on the back. That's me and would appreciate if someone could help me get there.

Time, between 9 and 10am. Any good bbq spots along GOR?

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
