Guest insane

I dont really have time to read 11 pages of threads so im sorry if this has been said before....

I am a northy and i know of a few roads out the back of wanneroo/pinjarra that are not speed restricted and also fairly curvey. Its also pitch black out there at night which could make things pretty interesting.

Anyway if not this cruise, maybe a future one...

Insane - if you have any ideas feel free to PM either me or dan the man - as we are the club events co-ordinators.

Even though those roads are not speed restricted - you legally are not meant to go over 110km/h. Our aim is to organise safe cruises and promote people to drive with in their limits. A curvy "high speed" road in pitch black doesnt strike me as the safest thing to do - but it sounds great for one of our day cruises which we usually finish with a BBQ!

hi guys just wondering how can i join the cruise or skylines australia im in perth is there anyone i should speak too or just show up at cruises. :(
welcome to just turn up but please introduce yourself to US WA EXEC COMMITTEE

cheers

Joe

Joe u know why :D

Maybe we could do a "show off" day kinda thing, get all of us together down at the Esplanade and we can show off the cars, stick up a big skylines Australia WA banner and get some more members, give ppl a chance to ask questions, do a bit a publicity and have a BBQ and play some games on the grass!

maybe do it a Langley park or some where were u can park a lot of cars and lots of ppl will see

was jsut some thing that poped into my head

hey i was just thinking about your cruises.

i dont know how they work, but maybe we could try do like a chrissy cruise or a

"christmas eve's eve" cruise, maybe just a 1day or something,

like what gts4_fun said, maybe a show-off during the day and then a cruise to go see teh chrissy lights or something.

i dont know, it's just a suggestion.

Thanks for the suggestion Matt. It takes a bit of work to organise a cruise and everyone is really busy leading up to christmas - including us Event's Co ordinators! ;) Plus I dont think people walking around with kids looking at the lights would appreciate us in loud cars cruising past. :cheers:

But we are planning an SAUWA day cruise in January, so keep an eye out in the events section for details. :)

Yeah I've driven one before... There's absolutely mad cars.. And easy cars to pull a bit of extra power out of them as well. Pretty much a beefed up Ford BA XR6 Turbo. There rated at 270kw i think? They basically look like a falcon GT without the power-bulge bonnet and only come as 6 speeds. Oh yeah and they produce 560nm (the most of any australian production car ever built) at 2500 rpm.

    • 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.
