I wasn't on this cruise but I was driving home from a weekend away with a two car convoy, heading back to melbourne approaching torquay we were overtaken by a white r33 series two with standard wheels, a black r33 series two with small mirrors, and last but not least A goldish coloured cefiro with worn suspension standard wheels and a cannon muffler.

I saw the most dangerous piece of driving I think i have ever seen.

The girl in the cefiro knows who she is, and is so lucky she didn't wipe out my friends S15, or an oncoming innocent family, after the smoke had settled I expected to see her wrapped around trees, she is a f@cking idiot and doesn't deserve her licence.

I am still in shock at the driving I witnessed.

Its unfortunate to read of an incident like this that could have had dire consequences!

As we all know the adrenalin that can take over when on these sort of cruises can be hard to control,

but on public roads its important to not get carried away.

This is one reason to join SAU-VIC and get your fix of fast and safe car action

in a controlled and safe environment at a race track or DECA!

I would be willing to bet that SAU-VIC members that let off steam on trackdays

are safer and less inclined to do foolish overtaking etc on runs and cruises.

Moral = JOIN SAU-VIC and have the best safe fun you can in your car! (while still keeping your pants on!) :(

The cefiro tried to follow the two skylines on an overtaking manouver approaching a blind left hand bend, the cefiro driver decided to get back into the correct lane halfway through the corner, she had to swerve back into the lane barely missing my friends S15, the cefiro would have been travelling up around the 120kmph mark,

upon swerving, the cefiro became un balance and got a lot of oversteer, facing the left hand shoulder of the road she attempted to control the car, it then kicked out the other way facing the oncoming lane of traffic and was sliding along the highway at a 90 degree angle, the car was sliding at approx 100kmph on the wrong side of the road, it came to rest only metres from trees, cars on the other side had to brake very hard to miss causing a massive T bone accident which would have resulted in catastrophic consequence.

I seriously expected to see a fatal accident.

Thanks for an awesome cruise daniel. i was sick as a mofo but no way in hell would i have missed this (now im even worse lol but got the day of work so YAY)

i was watching the video i took of all the guys leaving the first meet point and it looks f**king awesome.

guys if you have vids please send em to me so i can make a DVD. dont really have that much footage from me alone to make a DVD so ye if you have coold vids send em my way.

ill also post a short clip up and some pics i took later.

lol me and htial were all the way at the back of the pack and ended up getting the best runs ever while the massive packs were allt he way up front.

first time on the GOR with the skyline and loved it.

hopefully next cruise ill have my suspension done so i can ejoy it a tad more lol

Hey guys awesome cruze! Was such a good day, lots of fanging (within reason) and no stupid driveing with the exception of the dumb bitch in the ceffy!

The chick in the ceffy was an absolute and total f**kWIT!!! She locked them up THREE TIMES while almost running up my arse. I was ready to get out an smack her one. I was going slowly becasue the guy infront of me was, yet she still thought that fanging it up my arse would magically speed up the pack. Seriously, how on earth did you get you license, you are a disgrace and need to take a long hard look at yourself before you kill somebody.

hi,

please keep in mind this topic is viewed by lots of observers including local authorities so it is recommended to think before you post.

just a friendly reminder, also please dont name names or anything when an incident occurs. and remember these events are non official sau vic events as was clearly stated on the event thread

havent seen any new photos in the last few pages. i know alot of cars had passengeers taking photos, so lets see em. lol.

pitty bout the ceffy but like paul said, it was unofficial and if i had known about the eratic driving i would have said something. i was un aware, so i apologise to any1 that got caught up in any of the mentioned incidents.

ashneel, ill send u my video from my phone so u can check it out and see if its worthy.

I wasn't on this cruise, seeing so many imports down that way reminded me that there was something on this weekend.

Like i said, I just witnessed some poor driving, we were towing a boat and had a fun time braking to avoid the rear end of other cars the said driver caused to stop.

Regardless of the cruise I probably would have posted something about the driving I saw.

And to be quite honest the driver deserves to have the card cancelled.

there's 1 in every bunch.

hey paul how come u didnt come cruising?

And Wayne to?

hey

i just came to the first meet point for a quick chat and meet that was about it

    • 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.
    • My experience with Rising Sun Exports Before agreeing to the sale I tried to do as much research as I could (obviously), his Facebook reviews are 98% and he goes Live at least once or twice a week. I contacted 2 people in the UK who had used him for their imports, both had positive feedback. His explanation and talk through of the import process was thorough, answering any query no matter how stupid it was. It felt as soon as the money was sent, communication dropped off. I asked for shipping updates every 2 weeks or so, not wanting to pester him, he never had any updates. I wasn't informed the car had been dropped off at the port, I only found out by his Facebook story. I asked for the photos taken at the port, knowing he would need some for insurance purposes. I received a few 5 second clips and that's it. When asked again, he said his staff had them. Weeks later I asked again, he tells me he doesn't have any, but does have 50 photos from the original advert. I never received them. I eventually got the documents sent via WhatsApp after I mentioned the port was requesting them. I purchased a CarVX report, to find out the vehicle is a Grade R with recorded accident damage, first recorded in 2017 when it was first auctioned. He never told me the grade, then again I didn't ask. His response was "Grade R means nothing, it wasn't chassis damage". Still, I would have liked to have been informed about it. Jon prides himself on being open and honest when it comes to inspecting cars, it's his main job doing so at the auctions for customers. When the vehicle arrived in the UK I noticed a few little cosmetic issues. It's a 21 year old car so it wasn't going to be mint condition. The side skirts are cracked on each corner and the sealant is failing. The front grill on the bonnet/hood isn't secured very well, mounting studs are missing. Both minor things, but again, it would have been nice to be told. During a Facebook Live walk around video of the vehicle, he mentioned it has a front Whiteline anti roll bar/sway bar. While on the inspection ramp, I noticed the stock item has been installed. When first questioned, his response was "the ARB? Switched? Since when, it never had them". Since sending video and photo evidence I've not received a response. I'm probably being over critical of the overall condition of an old car, but all I wanted was honesty (which he claims to have). I'm aware I wasn't his only customer, he's busy doing XYZ but other reviews praise him for great communication with regular updates and photos, I felt I didn't receive the same treatment.
