Hey, i was just wondering if anyone would be interested in joining me in a meet and cruise on Thursday the 27th of this month....

Will meet at DFO parking lot around 8:30, and leave at 9:15 .. We will cruise through the city, then up to a lookout on Mt cootha for a chat and photos etc. then when we feel satisfied we will cruise back down to a parking lot with somewhere for food and drinks.. ((this location to be organised as i dont know my way around the city))

We went out Mt cootha a few weeks ago to find it packed.

However half way down the mountain there is a large gravel area. Where many people pull over to share a moment. But its big enough to house many skylines for a photo opp.

Im not sure how low is too low to get into this area. May want to scout it out first. But it is perfectlly normal to see a few cars parked there. Its public land and can easily used and then we can push on again.

I suggest a few long expsure shots on this spot will achieve a fantastic result.

yeah, i missed the last cootha run.

ive just been looking at whereis.com.au to find good ways there etc, if mt cootha is going to be packed, then maybe another destination, but if everyone is happy with cootha ,even though it was down fortnight ago, i will write up times and routes...

Mate the gravel area im talking about is huge and mostlly un populated until after 10-11 at night... (As people are ready to make a moment, if you know what i mean. :()

Anyways ill dig up a map and try and point out where the area is. This spot is awsome for night time long exposure photography and im more than keen to try it out tommorrow night to see what its like.

This is the spot im talking about...

If ya want go and have a look at it. Quite obvious where it is. As you pass it you will notice exactlly why i suggested it. Cause at night you can have your car in the for-ground and the city in the back ground and it would look amazing...

The area there is around the outside of that bend...

ah true that, i might go down there tomorrow night some time and scope it all out.....

col if u dont mind me asking, would u be abe to pm me with details about costs, and good places for paint jobs, is about time i got my custom graffity key lines off my left side and boot..

cheers.

Straight from my CCD to your screen...

The entrance and surface to this area is good. It has been done in road base and is very safe even for the lowest of skylines. There is heaps of room to "line" em up... LOL

It was a bit overcast tonight so the pic is not the best. But you get the drift...

awesome pic col, yeah, the spot looks good. i edited the first post, so fingers crossed for good weather, sorry i didnt get back to yuo earlier i would have loved to come for that drive.

Here is another picture for you...

My camera was playing up a little due dust on the ccd from when i was in fiji...

So here is another photo, no modifing just straight from the ccd to you... (With a slight photoshop resizing)

Notice the light reflection on the top of the car from the city lights... Looks weird once its be resized... Looks amazing in RAW file.

Also you may want to change the olour of the text youhave used in the first post for us who are using the dark background option. Like me... :(

    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
