Yeah well it stopped you from telling me to go away all the time. :P

I definately think more small cruises should happen if you guys want them, fortnightly, weekly, gold coast, bris, it all seems like a good idea. The nights events should be decided first though, you dont want 5 guys turning up for a mountain run when its a cruise to the gold coast.

i think what u have to realise is no matter where u go

u will get unwanted presence people see u drive past they just tag along

u should vary the meeting points and routes, if u always have a meet at roma or bwcp these are common places for meets and cruises to begin. its gonna be hard for just a skyline australia cruise or wat not, u will get attention from police as they patrol the M1 like it was a doughnut shop.

also a cruise everyweek could be askin a bit much of people and gettin decent turnouts.

if u have it say every 2nd week may be a bit better

and why is it always the gold coast that u mostly cruise too?

what bout the poor sunshine coast people?

yeh the sunshine coast may be a bit further to travel buts theres no rule saying a cruise has to be a nightly thing

i been to alexandra headlands just over an hour north of here very nice area not many cops at all and plenty of places to meet.

i'll be the hero nismogirl :D /jk Seriously though if its kept fairly small and everyone meets in an uncommon place (maybe even an underground carpark?, being out of sight would stop most ppl from finding out) then i doubt too many people would tag along. And as to where to go, that could be decided at the meeting place?

its worth a try just to see how it goes, but if its a large group then people are more likely to want to follow so the smaller the better. besides, it doesnt look like too many people here are interested so i don't think there would be much of a tag along problem. i dont like the idea of a cb arial hanging off my '33 :D

Andrew and I are currently in talks with the owner and shop occupiers of a carpark on the southside of Brisbane. I'm not going to say anymore cause I don't want people meeting there already without persmission. I will talk to Andrew more this afternoon and get back to you all. It's a great place to meet and I'm wondering if Slip would like to step into the negotiations as well (as the president)..

I'll talk to andrew and get back to you.

Hey Pinto, hope the car is ok. Sounds like something went bump in the night??

Anyway, can we set it for this week so we can at least make a start. Can I suggest Roma St Carpark (alongside the grass field area), from about 6.30. We can then maybe have a discussion about places to go. I don't know bris all that well but surely someone does.

Once we do one then we can discuss more, how to make them better, and where we have them etc. We have to start somewhere, and it's not going to be perfect the first time. But it doesn't have to be organised to the nth degree, this is meant to be a casual get-together and cruise. If you want to go somewhere to thrash your car come out to the sprint days.

I'd like to have the venue and time set for tongiht so we can post in the events thread and move this one forward. Please advise if this is too early for you today and we'll set it. Then we can review for next time where and when we do whatever we will do.

Thanks

There is the thread.

If you's are seriously interested in creating a weekly/fortnightly/monthly then you will attend this event and support the idea of creating this carpark as our meeting spot.

Ok then people. Is anyone up for a cruise this fri night - 6.30 to 7pm at roma street parklands. If so please post in here (no point making a separate thread at this stage, if it becomes regular then we can go for threads then). Post here if you are coming, thinking of it or can't make it, then we at least know whats happening.

Thanks all

{EDIT} of course we can hang there to wait for people who can only get there later, the whole idea is we actually catch up and get to know each other as well as cruising around. This is a "social" event as much as anything.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.

      BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
