POSTPONED TILL NEXT THURSDAY 3/8/06

Since we haven't had a Thursday night skyline cruises in a while (give or take a few weeks), I thought I piece together one and get the ball rolling on getting some more skyline events happening.

For North siders -

Meet: DFO Car Park

Date: Thursday night, 3rd August, 2006.

Time: 7:00pm.

Depart: 7:30pm.

From here, we can cruise down south towards Springwood to allow southsiders to meet up with us.

For South siders -

Meet: Eight Miles Planes Car Park (Across from the Bus station along Miles Platting Road)

Time: 8:15pm.

Depart: 8:45pm.

I organised a cruise early this year which started at the Eight Miles Planes car park and we were not kicked out by security. This was probably due to us being resposible and not creating a scene or any unwanted attention. Of course there was the VL who did show off at the lights but was not apart of our group.

From here, we can cruise down and hit the old Thursday night spot at Yatala BP. Those that would need to refuel for the journey home can do this at Yatala BP or if requiring Shell fuel, Shell is only up the road.

From here, we can decide to hit either the city and do a few city laps or head for riverside.

The cruise will allow for those who have not been on any skyline cruises to meet others and of course, stand around and have a bit a chat.

Please do note this is NOT an offical SAU QLD cruise. Any skyline forum members (sau qld members and sau qld non-members) are welcome.

Those that have UHF's are encouraged to bring them along and use them on the cruise. Channel we will be using will be given out on the night.

Anyone wanting to bring camera's along are also welcome to bring them.

I'll be trying to get a hold of a video camera to take any video footage for the night.

Post up your interest.

Also with the thought in mind, hitting riverside may be a better option then city laps for photo's.

With the skylines parked along the road at riverside and having the view of all the buildings and different coloured lights along corination drive from the riverside would stand out perfect for a good photo.

This can be an additional photo to mud's signature :(

Yeah I'd be keen for a cruise tomorrow night, but Mark's right - riverside is a fairly well-known hangout. Expect to be hassled (or at least followed) going through there if you're not 60 and driving a Camry. Such a shame, as it really is a nice spot.

My brain is mush atm thanks to four hours of looking at a database so I can't suggest an alternative, but I'd be interested pending the destination.

I work near the BP at Yatala and go past 8 mile plains on my way home - so I'd be leaving Yatala, driving past the meet point, going home, then basically going back to work and home again vai somewhere yet to be decided lol

Well we can discuss where to go from Yatala once we've reached this spot. I dont want to go to Mt Cootha based on the cops raping everyone there lately along with Milton.

City laps sorta defeats the purpose of actually standing around, talking and getting to know each other, ask questions etc.

I'm open to suggestions if anyone has any.

Been a long time since i have been on a skyline cruise

last thursday night cruise i went on, my car was stock as a rock and was a auto.

goin to the shops at 8, but would like to know where you guys roughly will be at 9 30

most probably will be around milton area, and cruising round the city

I wish my car was off the bloody hoist :)

I would love to go but I dont think my car will be ready :O

Well stop looking at it and press the down button on the hoist. Hurry up lol.

Im glad you postponed it as i have been called in for overtime at work.

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
