Anytime is good! But Sunday is the best day since majority of people SHOULD be free. I would prefer an SAU cruise with a bunch of RBs roaring in unison :mellow: or even with nissansilvia

...I sort of agree...think the first one should be on your/our own even if it is a small group

Well should we get the ball rolling on the First SAU YSA cruise.

Easter is coming up so not so good then.

Are we keen for a sunday cruise relativly soon or wait for a while and get a bigger one.

Im keen to have one in the next 2 weeks. But I am aware it is rather stressful organising a cruise.

Any ideas of where we will go/ want to go.

I will start organisng it now with Mark if your keen mate.

G1 & I can start organisng things asap if ppl are keen for a cruise in the next few weeks.

yeah i dont mind if we invite other car clubs, but since this will be SAU's first YSA cruise, prolly better if we just keep it as sau only.

i would be up for a sunday cruise relatively soon! i think within the next few weeks is sufficient notice. i mean it doenst have to be too big!

i think the sooner the better!

cheers!

HHHHAHAHAAAHAAAHAAHAAAH. So many things can be said about your comment nath.

Nath and I will get cracking on the route. Just gotta see what Mark wants to do aswell.

It will need to be alot cooler aswell. This 40 degree heat wont be good for my stock brick on wheels let alone a 300+rwkw car like Naths.

If cooler weather is heading our way I will pull my finger out and organise this thing quickly.

yeh........oh not majorly well, but i have a few routes i like taking, done a few in my car on late night runs.

im a particular fan of the area around sterling, great pub/restaurant and nice scenery.........

besides im as keen as mustard to drive my thing

why dont you cruise down south. theres some awesome 100 kph winding corners down towards rapid bay thru to victor, and its allways 8 - 10 degrees cooler down there then up near adelaide.

The normal adelaide crusie's are to slow and tight and with lots of hairpin coners to cook everyones brakes.

just my thoughts..

Darren

Darren mate u might have an idea.

Just a nice cruise along the southern expressway and off to some other place would be nice. I can just picture line after line for the eye to see and the passes by would like the veiw of all the skylines in a row

...this would make a great change from the Adelaide hills...Im all for it.

OLD Mark

if you want any suggestion as to routes im happy to help as i know the whole south area very well.

And yes 50 lines stretching there legs in 28 degree weather sounds good to me..

some great photo spots along the way aswell.

see how many lines we can fit on the myponga reservoir

KI as back drop would make a great pic with 20 or 30 lines in the top lookout carpark at cape jervis.

gentle cruise around past deep creek

counter meal at the crown at victa

top of willunga hill lookout

then a boost back thru meadows, echunga etc.

i dont want to step on anyones toes..

But more then glad to help organise a good route.

cheers

nah no stepping mate........sounds like a pretty good idea, just means many petrol stops for myself LOL, could be a long cruise for my car though.........looks at someone to provide lift HAHAHAHA

im more then happy and im sure Brenton is aswell to catch up with ya and plan a good route for the first ever SAU Youth Suicide Awareness Cruise

dont worry about fuel im in the same boat.

im lucky to get 20L per hundred

if we start with a full tank that will get us right down around the peninsular and over to victa.

a quick top up and that will get you back thru willunga then meadows etc then down the freeway.

im self employed so you name a time and place and i will be there to help organise a great event.

the route i have in mind is approx 250 kays from the city and return, but 80% is open sweeping roads that you wont need much boost so fuel consumption wont be an issue.

you can contact me on 0407187834

or via PM

thanks for letting me help.

Darren

Hey darren.

High Five for great plan mate. I likie very much so.

I have the next week off but no car as of yet. Dam coil packs.

If you are good with the computers and the net and have the time send me some maps of the routes you have thougt of.

I have no probs with the kays as well hey as you said. 50 or so lines in a row cruising for a cause will be an awsome sight.

I believe you can use whereis.com.au to plan trips i think. But if your not keen on figuring out the route then i will gladly help out big fella.

Just gotta make sure my car is back and ready for this cruise. and also clean. Dammm she is a dirty thing right now.

Thanks again for your input mate. Much apprciated

    • Cheers. Skyline is back on the menu, can’t get rid of it. It’s like a child you don’t want, or herpes 
    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
