Today, I went to maccas to get breakfast with my friend. He has a supra.

It turns out that the supra forum was running a cruise up to the entrance. We didn't have anything to do, so my friend asked if it was ok if we joined them (I was in my skyline).

They said it was alright for him to join them, but "it would be better off if your friend didn't come with us. there are guys here that don't like skylines or their drivers".

I don't know, but I didn't think that was very nice. On sau cruises, cars of all kinds are welcomed.

Same happens here..but I guess you gota respect that its a supra cruise so they only want supras to be cruising together.

Though im sure if they did let you tag along,you'd be like the wolf among all the sheep..lol.

Anyway dont take it to heart..some clubs operate differently.

I just don't like this statement. I didn't say the full thing above, but this is what they said:

"it would be better off if your friend didn't come with us. there are guys here that don't like skylines or their drivers"

The road is there to share.

I mean, It's not like I really really really really really wanted to drive with them anyways. It was just like maybe I might drive. Like people dont' have to take it so seriously

On sau, I don't think we really discrimnate against any cars. I mean, there have been commodores on our cruises.

dont worry, theyre all talk. if i was you i would've gone for the hell of it.

if you went it wouldnt be any different than any other cruise except it would be lacking a few skylines. if anything they'll all be trying to give you a run and then talk about it when you all stop.

you shouldnt let what one idiot says reflect the rest of the forum, especially if it stops you from cruising with your mate.

def knob man...dont worry about it though. Let them go have a wank over how much they loathe skylines and skyline drivers. It really shouldnt be a big deal who goes on cruises as long as they are not up themselves...

Dont worry mate!

I saw them too today - but they were on their way back on Penno Road, I gave one the thumbs up cause his car looked tops, but he gave me a "greasy"

tool bags!!!

I said to my friend to go anyways without me. I didn't want him to miss out because he was keen for a drive. He said that a lot of those guys were really geeky and didn't have any communications skills. Their confidence relied on the car. hahaha

Hi liz and chris!!, i'll wave to you if I see you. hehehe.

I never do though, which is weird, coz i'm up your way sometimes.

I live in st ives. black sII r33.

someone keep an eye out on the supra forums events so we can 'coincidently' be at the next meet.

only problem i see is we'll have to take it a bit easy so we dont get too far ahead of them when its time to cruise.

Where is supra James when you need him, he usually cruises with us skylines guys. lol

Supra James = :)

j/k.

Regardless of the type of car you drive, a cruise is a cruise, thing is we or the cars we drive don't have a very good reputation because of all the "positive" exposure it's received through TV ie: A Current Affair and so on... there's always some f**knut doing wrong shit in a line. If that was the case with Supras..... we'd be weary of welcoming them on our cruises too... specially anyone that we've NEVER seen.

Don't take it to heart... i doubt it was personal.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
