Julian you could not be further from the truth man ..... I ****en love Jaffas SS :( .... and you summed up my attitude perfectly by saying:

'Most other cruises are full of idiot drivers in buzz boxes where you spend the whole time worrying about the P plater who might sideswipe you.'

This is EXACTLY what I DON'T want SAU cruises to turn into! (hence the rant).

What everyone has said above is true .... we don't want to exclude anyone (as I said I'm not even supposed to be one of the group ffs), but I just wanted to make a point ... and I think the responses above have backed up my point .... if everyone has the attitude that has been explained by various intellengent people above we can (and do) have a whole heap of fun!

C u all Friday night for a HUGE one!!! (what does everyone think about my proposed route?)

Joolz (GFXMan)

Mate the SS is always welcome, damn I love that car!!! You guys know you are always more than welcome.

Nightcrawler

Agree with everything you have said, and also just because you dont have a Skyline does not mean you should not be there one bit, you too are always more than welcome.. If its Jap or if its a Jaffa then always welcome I say. The main point is having people that are mature , sensible , and like to have a bit of fun but safely, they are the people I like to cruse with, and everyone I have cruised with so far fits that bill.

Love that route to mate , very very cool , I am in for that for sure.

But yeah just to wrap up, If you do not own a Skyline then that does not mean you can not come on as SAU cruise, if you have a Jap car then your are welcome , and if you have a certain SS with a Jaffa plate you are always more than welcome.

:(

Erica,

Chill dudette :D I don't think you're the kind of person to lack judgement when on the road (from what I've seen of your driving).

I don't think Andy was singling out ALL p platers. I think he was just making an example & used a P plater in it.

Yer erica ur on ur P's because u make full use of ur skyline and we are proud of you for that!

I dont consider my car slow, but it's by no means fast...And i have no trouble keeping up with most turbo cars in the hills....It's more so a challenge for me than a detterant for you guys, since my car doesn't hav the brute power.

Ahh I C. I hear ya.

I agree with what you all said. I am glad we have the mature, smarter drivers in SAU compared to many "other" inferior cruises I have been on.

and TIMMAY, we both know I am going to be on my p'd till I am about 60 because of my teenage stupidity and SAPOL.

Nightcrawler you elitist bastard! :D If the Corolla was yellow, it was probably me....I know where you're coming from though, I hadn't really been to any SAU cruises before, they're a lot smaller than the others I'd been on with ricy Lancers/Excels that I can keep up with, or big enough that it's impossible to stay with the group. It is good to have a higher standard though, apart from my car the Skyline cruises have a much higher quality of cars coming along. You don't have to worry about that anymore though, my best mate just bought a Tommy Kaira M25 R33 GTST, so I'll be cruisin with him from now on, once he pays it off in a couple of months...;)

Maxx try Adelaide Jap, JMS or someone like that .... surely there would be a few floating around the place.

Robert we need a final decision on meeting place!!! It's your cruise so it's your call man! Please post ASAFP

lol.. ASAFP... i know what that stands for.

How about that office works car park on anzac highway. They have a car park round the back so we are invisible from the road? (the one next to the etsa building). That has been a good meeting spot in the past?

/shrugs.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
