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.

    • 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.
