Hi All,

It's time for SAU VIC's first Drift for Dummies Day.

This will be held at the lovely DECA facility in Shepparton VIC.

There will be our usual convoy cruises for both the Friday night crew and early Saturday morning. Of course you can travel in your own time accordingly but it is much easier in a group, and more fun. Previously we were meeting at McMobil on the Hume Hwy but now that the bypass is open it may be more convinient for others so we are all meeting there.

Meeting point address

Shell Roadhouse

Hume Hwy

Donnybrook VIC 3064

Melway 365 C5

(For Melways 1998 to 2002) there is no map drill down for this location, look at PAGE 8 (not map 8) in the top right corner, you'll see Donnybrook RD / HUME Fwy intersection, the shell servo is there!!!!

as per the details, its the shell servo, in donnybrook not mcmobil in campbellfield. its easier as the shell is reachable for people that jump off the ring rd relay road. otherwise to get to the mcmobile they have to go backwards

The meet point is a SHELL service station, just after Craigieburn. This is pretty much the perminant meeting point on the HUME as you can use the new Hwy extension to bypass Campbellfield/Craigiburn and skip all the lights. This is the first servo after the merge of the old Hwy and the new Hwy.

since u pplz are gonna be going straight past the mobils here on the highway, if i come which at this stage its a 90% chance i will be to watch, i will meet you's at the nth bound mobil on the highway?

its like on the way anyway and right on the hume, i would drive up myself but i forget the way to deca and would rather cruise up with the convoy :whistling:

settle lulithi

i seem to be making sure ... u know

as people do make mistakes, but ya .. i guess paul is the only perfect person eva :

Did you read the thread? The rhetorical question there would end in the answer of most certainly not.

He stated the mobil was Previously we were meeting at McMobil on the Hume Hw

Pretty self explanitory if you ask me.

JAR is talking about the Mobil about 40-50km's into the trip up past the Shell/First meet point.

If you have a CB jar, that'd probably make it a lot easier...ie the convoy wouldnt have to stop to pick u up, but could get on the CB as we're approaching, and you'd be ready to just join on...

alternatively, i'll sms ya :whistling:

so yeah, i'll be in for the saturday morning cruise up

yeah dezz jst sms when u see a sign that says " service centre 5kms " before 2 bridges. that way i will know when to look out for skyrines approaching :D

how many maccas are on the way? seeing as how the meet point has been changed, we WILL be stopping for mcdonalds breakfast somewhere along the way :D

you'll hear them!!

my car is the loudest skyline ever

there is no maccas after campbellfield on the hume lol. not until you get to shepp.

u expect me to be out of the car sarah? are u insane. it will be minus a million. i'll be sitting in my car with climate control fully up, i wont hear shit over my zorst. lol

    • 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.
