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.

    • Thank you GTSBoy and MBS206 I have done the compression test with the motor out of the vehicle, reason for the test was to see if I needed to remove the head and do rings etc while its out. I'm in the process of respraying the vehicle and tidying up a few things. Story behind it all is I've just purchased the skyline and it was running when I got it, never drove it on the street though as I wanted to pull it down and do it all up again before registering it. the gentleman I purchased it from told me the motor has a forged bottom end and has a decent tune through it but I was going to pull the sump off anyway to see if it is a forged bottom end. that's why I thought id do a compression test beforehand. 
    • Man, I'm kind of amazed that the price of the turbo has not changed in 7 years. Everything else is inflating beyond reason, but not this? Good on Tao / hypergear I guess? Anyways, good luck with the sale!
    • I'm selling my brand new, in the box, never used Hypergear ATR45 - and I had some additions I paid for a few yrs back when I purchased it. Never ended up having the rest of the money to add all the mods at once, so I just ended up slowly selling each part. I originally had it internally gated, with the dump pipe, however I found it was incompatible with what I was going to use it for, so I contacted (I think Ken) from Hypergear, and he and I messaged back and forth & he got me to ship the turbo back, where they modified it & made it externally gated, and gave me the 5 bolt dump pipe attachment for custom welding. (Photos below) This turbo like I said has never touched the inside of an engine bay, it's completely brand new, never used, been sitting in the same box it arrived in, covered in plastic & all. Below are the photos of it: And while the guys at Hypergear were making it in-shop, they sent me some photos of the process: I'm looking at selling this just because I'm in need of the money right now, and don't have plans on modifying the 34 anytime soon - and from reviews & peformance sheets, this turbo had amazing results back when I was researching. The turbo was purchased in 2018 for $1.9k, with the mods I got added on. Looking at the website now, for the same turbo they sell (ATR45SAT), with the current addons it adds up to $1830 for the turbo Current addons included: - Bolted dump adaptor - Ball bearing CHRA - Braided oil feeding line So I'm looking to possibly sell it for around $1800, with shipping included in that 1.8k, It cost me around $120 to ship - so yeah thought I'd throw it out there and see if anyone was interested in purchasing. Cheers!
