Being a rotary man and this being my first Skyline Cruise, I was impressed with the turn out and the attitude of all members.That many cars of the one make and model, looked pretty special.

I liked the cruise, and pretty well organised, no one really got lost.

Hey I was in this car here,(baldy head blue jumper wearing person)

We left about 2:45, and the highway patrol turned up at the same time, any problems? Compared to an Ausrotary cruise all the Skylines were very street safe and legit.

Hahaha, I wish I'd paid more attention :)

I was sooooo hungry on the way home... haha

I just want to say thank you all for coming along. It was just a good turn out. i had so much fun driving with all of you guys.Thank for the people who stayed behind me as i was holding them back to wait for the others. Everyone behaved, well done. It was good to meet the Newie crew.

I hope we can do this again, sorry you guys had to follow a SS ute, dont worry all i will lead into a new skyline soon.

Thank you all again and have fun :D

P.S Pic looks awsome

Engine is fine, just been rebuilt. However the head service place hasn't done too good a job. Bloody valve stem seals are leaking oil into combustion chamber.

Car still goes fine. will be fixed shortly.

So what did the highway cops want?

They pulled me up in Norms GTR for a sketchy left turn - we were cut off by some commonwhore driver, so i did the dodgy turn to avoid losing the group

i explained we were from Sydney and this cruise was meant for just after the Cronulla riots and that we through it would be a smart move to re-schedule, today being the new date

Not at all!!

We drove all the way to The Tuggerah turn off to meet yous!

all us Newcastle Cars cruised to Twin servos to meet up with yous as we thought thats what was happening.

However somebody Rang Superman and you guys had already cruised past twin servos without stopping.

We then went to foreshore and couldnt see you guys anywhere so we went amd had lunch.

then a guy at Big Als told us there were all these Skylines at Bar beach.

So we drove there and you guys had already left.

Oh well :sick:

A common problem at most cruises!

lol!!! fair enough dude!! your car looks awesome!! and that 33 gtr with you... :( our little group consisted of a dark 32 gtr and silver 33 gtst... we managed to find our way after ALOT of calls! lol!

that 33 gtr was me :O and to bad we waited at the twin servos for some time for you guys to show up, and drive right passed us :(

Guys i am so sorry for all the missed uderstanding, my fone did not stop ringing all the way to newcastle. i had people calling me to wait for them asking me directions, people keeps stoping, half of the crew took off ahead, had to organised regroup, some missed the exits , trying to organiseed the sydney crew, central coast crew, and the newie crew, then had to oganised photo shoot....im only one man i cant do 100 things at the time.

Some sydney crew stopped at the Twin caltex to meet the others and some were at twin shell also, we had lots of cars and we cannot fit them all, thats is why i have decided to just keeps going to to newie + little groups have organised to meet us there, + we were behind time as i have to hold the group back doing 80km/h on the F3 so i can wait for the others, i just wanted to get everyone together sorry if it didnt workout the way it did. I will try to make it better next time if you guys werent happy with this :(

Thankyou for all the ppl who listened to my instructions, Darko for helping with the photoshoot, for all you guys who paricipated, Sydney crew, central coast crew, Newcastle POLICE and the newie crew for being very friendly.

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
