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.

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      S15 Spec R

      By RP1421 · Posted

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
