Details Update:

Meeting Place:

This time round we will only be doing one meetup point, this is to allow me to get pizza for everyone. I cannot go to the southside meetup and get pizza at the same time, as it would be cold for the northside meetup

Meetup Place and Time: 9th of feb, 7pm, Bunnings Warehouse, Stafford Road, Stafford. Near the car lovers. I will be waiting there with pizza for thoes who place there orders now.

I am willing to go on trust and have people pay me once they get there, but, please do not abuse this. If you are not going to be there, *please let me know in advance*, espically of you have ordered a pizza.

Find attached to the list bellow people's pizza orders.

List of stops:

1. Bunnings wearhouse stafford, 450 Stafford Rd 4053

2. Large BP on waterworks Road

3. Jollies Lookout

4. The lookout ontop of clear mountain. Its kind of just a dirt patch so im not sure if it has a name

5. Mt Mee lookout. Great lookout, has clear public facilities, good view, heaps of parking, a little undercover area. Good spot for photos.

6. BP we stoped at in the december run (cant remember the name). Cruise will stop here, people are free to make there way home in small groups.

Roads/turns Taken:

1. Waterworks road

2. Mt Nebo Road

3. Arrive at jollies lookout

4. Turn left from jollies when leaving. Follow this road until you get to the samford turn off. Take this. Be advised, tight corners, when they say 60 kph they really do mean it on some of thoes corners.

5. Follow the road your on once you get off the mountain until you hit a large roundabout with a caltex on the left hand corner. Turn left at this roundabout. Please try to limit BOV / Noise through here as were going up the guts of samford and im sure the residents wouldnt appreciate all the racket.

6. Turn right onto Eatons Crossing Road. Follow this road until you see clear mountain road. Well signed.

7. Follow clear mountain road until you arrive at the top. The lookout is a sharp bend round a blind right hand 90 degree corner, it has a large dirt patch to the left with a great view and a hotel on the right ontop of the hill the corner go's around.

8. Continue in direction we were going before we stoped at the lookout. This will take you to the bottom of the mountain. Turn left and follow this for about 5 - 10 mins, you will arrive in dayboro where the road will bend round to the right with another road going off to the left. Follow the turn to the right, the the next left, then follow the signs to mt mee. After stoping at the meeting point, continue on down mt mee road until you arrive at another T intersection, turn right and follow your nose, it will lead you to the BP and then to brisbane / home.

In total last night we left at about 8:30 and got home at about 12:30. We didnt do nebo, just headed straight out to samford, but we got lost once and I had to pull over for 30 mins when the ECU decided it didnt like vortex 98 so the whole run should take about 4 hours or so.

Thats all for now. Works busy atm so ill update the blanks and stuff later on.

Ground Rules:

A few rules will be enforced on these runs, the usual obvious ones so that we dont draw unwanted attention / police attention - no burnouts, skids of any sorts, drifting is expressly banned on the mountain (there thin roads, there will be at least 20 cars there, and theres allways traffic + blind corners). Your free to take it at your own pace and the front group will be taking it fairly briskly, but if you want to go faster then the person infront of you, make sure you overtake them in a safe manner. If there not going fast enough for you, thats no excuse to tailgate them or try and push them.

I should be down for this, just need to know a date.

Mt Mee is pretty simple, however once you get to the top it flattens out too much so a better option is to head down into caboolture through a small road called Campbells Pocket road, nice bit of black top, just don't go too hard cause it gets pretty tight.

The jurys still out as to if mines slipping or not...

We will see what mr dyno has to say.

Bring it round and I will tell you...I have seen a few in the past few months! :(

And from what I saw in Friday I would say yes...your car would have a jump over the near stock R32 GTST then as revs rose it couldn't pull away despite making all the right noises, this odd loss of top end thrust points to the clutch.

if i were you i would put it off till the 16th, that way you give yourself enough time to make sure your car is working fine and can actually come on the cruise in your car.

we dont want to see the same thing happen again :(

List and Date updated. Please tell me if theres a problem with this date.

I will scout the run prob on thursday night if anyone wants to come along. Bear in mind itll be a scouting run so theres a high chance we will get lost.

I could drive that route in my sleep if you want a hand scouting without getting lost. Put me down for the cruise too just to prove not all GTRs are always off the road :( probably plus one passenger depending on her roster that week.

I know a nice windy little detour from Samford Rd across to Eaton's Xing Rd to Clear Mtn via the Mailman's track and Bunya Rd too if you want to check that out. Bit more interesting than the main road through Samford, but slightly longer.

I know Campbell's Pocket Rd pretty well too, there are a couple of blind corners over crests that could be a bit of an issue at night but it is a very nice road, if a little narrow. You could do a loop and go down the other side of Mt Mee one way and back up the other road if you wanted to, but there's plenty of driving in your route already.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
