Some people are complete f**kwits. Unfortunately some of these people band together and start clubs and forums.

I remember the first Cruise for a Cure I went on (back when it was still the LS1 Forums arranging it). During the presentations, there were a couple of condescending remarks about the "slow 4 cylinder" imports. Nothing nasty, since they weren't unhappy that we showed up, but still that misplaced superiority complex guys cars that just discovered IRS across the range seem to have.

All I could think was, "We might be slow, but we weren't the pussies that stayed on the Princes Highway instead of going through the Nasho as the cruise was originally advertised".

There are plenty of decent Supra owners out there. Unfortunately, they get lost in the noise. Just like the guys on ns.com - there are some decent Silvia owners there, but you'd never know it from all the children chucking their toys out of the pram.

"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.

The 1 & 2jz are good, but come on, you too would be jealous of an RB engine.

Actually had this situation a while ago with a mate and his R34.

"I might rock up to the cruise"

"Erm, their are only supras on the cruise, no other cars"

"Oh ok, I guess thats kinda cool, we let any POS on our cruises. It would be nice to just cruise with skylines :P"

Guys Im a member of the nsw supra club and just wanted to clear something up.

I didnt attend that particular cruise but I know it was organised by the nsw supra club,the reason you probably werent welcome was because they firstly didnt know and if you act like a dick on the road you would have given the club a bad rap with the cops.

The club has rules about how members act while on an official club cruise so any bad behavior would reflect on the club and leave us prone to more attention fom the police.

Yeah its true some bag skylines on the forums but 99% of the time its just in jest.You guys are afterall on the darkside :P but I do hate gtst's with GTR badges on them (unless they have rb26's)

To the member who was rude to you,Im sure was only speaking for their own opinion because most of us dont care who cruises with us as long as they don't carry on like idiots.Some members attended a cruise with the silvia club and some of them started drifting and doing burnouts in a carpark in a residential area,this is what we dont want.

Cheers

Sam

I really want to just apologise for the dickhead that spoke to you like that, 97r33gtst-typeM. I have a feeling I mite know who it was and I can tell you now, no one in the club likes him, but we try not to descriminate. :O Officially it was a NSW Supra Club cruise and so only Supras were invited, but that being said, the organisers would not 'officially' tell you to piss off. It's just some of the n00bie club wankers seem to take it upon themselves to spout club policy when they have no clue how we operate. Unofficially we would have been happy to have you join us. The majority of us bought Supras because we're enthusiests and so like all types of performance cars. Unfortunately there are a vocal few that bought them because they were in some famous movies once. :D

It is in my opinion that 20% of all Supra owners are nothing more than pretencious showpony f**ktards. It's just a shame that they're more visible than the other 80% who are actually nice people. ;)

Maybe this little incident will open the negotiations on a Skyline/Supra joint cruise. I'd definately be up for it. :(

      Kinkstah, no, coilovers aren't illegal, especially as a bolt straight in. The illegal part will be if they're altering suspension geometry beyond factory limits, or the ride height is not legal.   Sounds like the blue slipper just didn't want to deal with any later possibility of mods appearing on the car.

      The problem has always been that coilovers are able to be adjusted, almost at any time, to be too low. Most people who ever get/got defected for/with coilovers were actually afoul of the minimum ride height rule. So the interpretation by cops/inspectors was always that it is pointless to allow numpty to raise his coilovers and get the car inspected/cleared, then just drop them back down again as soon as they get around the corner from the inspection station.  This led to the interpretation that they were illegal unless rendered such that they can't be adjusted (ie, collars welded to the body, that sort of thing). That may or may not have ever actually been the official line, but I'm pretty sure it's not considered to be a solution these days. Coilovers themselves fall under clause 3.2 b of that manual, because they are an "installation of a variable ride height system" and they don't fit the exclusions in that clause (which point to air springs and other pneumatic adjusters). So, as per previous statements, they require engineering cert to be legal on the road. Once you have such cert, provided you do not adjust them outside the height range covered by the cert, you are OK. Without, you have an unroadworthy vehicle.

      Here E10 is the cheapest fuel. And general advice is to not use it unless you hate your car. From what I remember it clogs up stuff in the fuel system or injectors?  With US/Canada being E10 across the board, does that mean that all fuel there is terrible?

      Sorry, are coilovers ACTUALLY ILLEGAL in NSW? They aren't in Vic, as long as they retain 70% of stock travel and the car is above 100mm off the ground. Does NSW actually have a law making coilovers actually illegal? RWC/Blue Slip/Engineering people not knowing the actual f**king laws boils my blood. Demand them to point to the documentation that states a coilover is illegal. (it may exist in NSW ) Edit: I checked. They aren't. https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-infosheet-light-vehicle-modifications-manual-suspension-and-ride-height.pdf
