Hey Fellas,

I'm fairly new to this forum - love it to bits though.

I've met a few really cool friends from here already.

Anyways, was proposing a Skyline cruise to Lorne via the Great Ocean Road in around 3 week's time.

Was wondering if anyone is interested. If I can get some names, I will definitely organise this and make it grand.

More details will follow if I get enough names.

Cheers,

Gday mr Munky..

3 weeks time could see this cross paths with other events going on.

There is a Skyline /Wrx drag day planned for 24th june.

Witch is um 3 may be 4 weeks away . So to get more cars and people

To your cruise just look at whats on and when and try and slot it in somewhere..

The GOR is a good run so you should get a few (weather pending) to come ..

Good luck.. :P

Oh yeah

If it all works out i will come along..

Thanks fellas, this is my first cruise and first time organising one with ya guys so thanks for the support up front.

Ok, so I guess things are looking pretty bright.

I use to be on OzHonda a couple of months back so I guess I got a fairly descent idea of how cruises work.

Ok, I will organise something. If I get 6+ cars I'll be happy as just want this to be a good friendly thing doesn't have to be big stuff.

He's what I had in mind fellas (just a rough sketch now but will of course put up maps, routes and program etc soon)...

We meet somewhere near Western suburbs as going to Geelong and further would probably be a good idea.

There's this large Bunnings carpark in Sunshine, 8 minutes drive from Highpoint shopping centre... perhaps we can all meet there... then we cruise up to Lorne via Great Ocean Road - stop there for some pictures, catch up a bit, enjoy the breeze then we go to Lorne for lunch then... rest a bit then cruise back to Lygon street for dinner... that's just a rough idea and of course I am open to further suggestions from you fellas.

Thanks again.

sounds liek a plan mate, you can count me in weather permitting. not gonna do it in the rain, if its dry its an awesome run. only thing i would suggest is going through to apollo bay. it way better to accomodate for cars and has a better vantage point for a photo.

if you want a good plan on how to org a gor cruise, jump in the archives, there was one that i was involved in and had heaps of details and a good turnout.

cheers

Fellas, thanks so much for your support - so far, so good - therefore this cruise will go ahead. I will of course confirm 4 days before the event if there is any sudden signs of poor wealther, otherwise this is a turner!

OK, sounds great, I will post maps, details and/or instructions by next weekend Sunday 17/06 - that's 1 week before the event!

At the moment, I am thinking of making this a fairly low-key event as it's my first time organising...

But yeah, all opinions are taken onboard of course.

THIS IS OPEN TO ALL MEMBERS - however, I would like to keep it a Skylines only cruise if it's ok with everyone.

Regards,

Al Grand Master

General comment to all:

GREAT to see so many newish people, to these forums, organise non-member cruises. Reminds me of how SAU (in Victoria) use to be, back in the days. If i had my car i would be out there with you all!

Till then, happy cruising and keep up the good work :D

Great guys....

Was just wondering... where do you guys wanna have lunch? I was thinking somewhere in Lorne? There's a fairly descent carpark near the information centre - any ideas? Or do you guys wanna go for dinner... we might as well go underground paid parking in the city then?

Now I'm going to have to decide weather to go this, or to the drag day.

the 23rd will be my end of exams celebration day. :)

Bro - not saying the drag day is not as exciting - probably is ...

But I suppose, it's not very common that we have a nice turnout like this one for a cruise up the Great Ocean Road, am I right?

Hope you can come bro, bring some of your friends too.

Hope to see you there.

ANNOUNCEMENT:

Well fellas, so far there's like 20 people coming (including myself and a few friends).

Like discussed before, maps, details and a program guide will be up by next weekend.

If you have any requests on where we should go for lunch, stops, photo shots or suggestions etc - please post them up now as once these details have been finalised, I guess we should stick to it to avoid any confusions as the cruise is only a fortnight away.

I wil do my best to make this cruise a memorable one.

Regards and thank you all.

Do you know what the Pins? or know where i can find the same pinout diagram for the RB dash plug? Thanks for the advice on the box... i like a 6 speed so might be on the lookout or the box now.. a topic of discussion for another post...

      Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.

      Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.
