Hey! You better be quiet or i'll tell everyone about your Monaesque moment at the Caltex :thumbsup:

oops!!! *shuts up*

*giggles quietly on the side*

*cough*

f*kN LIES! i was chattin away to ya :thumbsup: or trying to at least...

Yeah i knew you were turning, but i couldn't legally turn left from the right lane...

Its no big deal, i was only going to the meet to see how many people there were, if there was a lot, i was going to come... Instead, I went back to sleep...

lol!!! so you'd only come if it was a big cruise? pft! wheres the dedication! either way you missed out! :D

Sorry I missed it guys.

I actually did Nasho / Macquarie Pass last night, and just as I got to Waterfall it started to rain. It was quite interesting to drive the rest of the route in the rain and fog, especially on R-Comp semi slicks...

Anyway, didn't get home until 6AM and then slept through my alarm.

Best. road. ever.

lol

It is fun, but NUP.

Best road ever IMO is the Alpine Way in Thredbo. Went to the snow about a month ago and decided to take the long way back. Never been there before and it was a fluke that we hit that road. It's like 74km of REALLY REALLY twisty windy roads. No turnoffs, no line markings, no barriers, no deer, no cops, well paved, no potholes or cracking. You can take the corners wide as you want, as quick as you are comfortable with, but your reflexes must be spot on as you get the occassional car coming the other way. The speed limit is 80km, but in honesty, it's very hard to hit that much because its so very dangerous(massive cliff drops everywhere) and I was caning it in the Ford we hired, ice and all. Took about 1.5hrs all up.

Beautiful scenery, it takes you through the Snowy Mountains Hydro System.

I had a massive smile all the way it was so much fun!!! It's like one of those roads you see the guys testing on Top Gear!

Oh to take the Skyline there :D

Someone organise a cruise to that road!!! It'll be like a 10hour drive all up, but I guarantee it will be one of the best driving experiences you will ever have.

My favourite road in Australia at the moment still has to be the Black Spur in Victoria.

I used to love the Great Ocean Road but the surface isn't quite as good as Black Spur and there's also a lot more traffic (including a lot of arseholes that call the cops on you because you want to drive at your pace and they can't be f**ked using the thoughtfully-placed turn-out bays).

I haven't done the Alpine roads in NSW yet, but by all accounts they're an awesome drive. The NSCC used to do annual multi-day cruises through there before the snow season, and they adore the roads.

Was great to catch up with you skyline buddies again after nearly 2 years..I am a Nissan boy again. I was in 350z..Missed my R34 :-(..BTW i was going for a drive to Wollongong without knowing about this cruise when i noticed skylines at Heathcote Caltex so i turned around flashed at you guys when you were leaving.

Your car looks Tough!!! loving those rims

Sorry I dogged it guys. Once i realised it wasn't gonna stop raining on Saturday night (moreso friday morning :)) I kept drinking, copped the worlds biggest headache sunday morning. Still would of gone but cruises in the rain im not the worlds biggest fan.

Glad to hear everyone had fun though :( I will attend a cruise one day!!

yea i knew we were going the wrong way.. then thought, ahh someone probably knows a shortcut.

We got there 20kms later..

According to whereis, it should only take 59kms from my house.. it took us 79kms.. hahah

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
