Well I realised today when looking at the dates for Classic Adelaide this year, I'm going to miss it as I'll be interstate for work :)

BUT to relieve my anger, I thought I would plan a "SAU Classic Cruise". Basically I intend to take the cruise on a few of the sections the Classic Adelaide route so we can all experience the drive (all be it at the speed limit and in 1 lane) that gets such great coverage world wide.

It will be a Sunday Afternoon cruise, so we won't be covering a lot of the course (as it runs over 4 days) but will cover some of my favourite sections. So details are:

Sunday December 9

Meet: 12:30 for 1:00pm departure

Location : Meet near the city (PM to be sent 1 week before)

Directions will be available for d/l when PM's go out.

Register your interest here. Im trying to give plenty of notice so we can get a great turnout like the last cruise to the Murray.

Also note, I realise this is the same day as drift practice, but this can't be helped.

Cheers

Lee

^Dan its not that funny when you think that the R32 skyline qualifies now under the present regulations (late classic)

1 Historic - for vehicles manufactured after January 1st 1900, and prior to December 31st 1946

Category 1 – 1/1/1900 to 31/12/1946

2 Classic – for vehicles manufactured after January 1st 1947, and prior to December 31st 1971

Category 4 – 1/1/1966 to 31/12/1971

3 Late Classic – for vehicles manufactured after January 1st 1972 and prior to December31st 1990.

Category 5 – 1/1/1972 to 31/12/1976

Category 6 - 1/1/1977 to 31/12/1981

Category 7 - 1/1/1982 to 31/12/1990

:wave:

Pity GTR's aren't eligible though:

301.2 Eligible Vehicle Type

The event is for vehicles manufactured prior to 1 January 1991, with the exception of turbocharged all wheel

drive (AWD) vehicles manufactured post-1981 and “prototype” vehicles regardless of the year of

manufacture. These excluded vehicles do not comply with the “spirit” of the Event and enquiries should be

directed to the Chief Scrutineer for clarification if required.

These technical regulations only permit normally aspirated 2WD cars to be modified to M3; Targa Tasmania

permits turbocharged 2WD to be modified to M3, but this is not permitted in the Aeromil Pacific Classic

Adelaide.

    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
    • The video for the servicing and fuel filter change can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44 One of the main jobs I wanted to do before the car officially went on the road, was to remove the awful looking blue silicone hoses. There's nothing wrong with having coloured silicone hoses, but I realise as I'm getting older I prefer monotone engine bays with a splash of colour on the engine cover(s). I cover this in a lot more detail in the Youtube video, so unfortunately there's limited photos of the process. The intercooler, upper radiator, boost vacuum and upper breather hoses were all changed to black silicone with mikalor clamps. The only blue left is a blanking cap at the back of the inlet manifold and the GReddy pulleys (which will be replaced for stock when the cambelt gets replaced) While the intercooler pipes were off I gave them a quick clean/polish too A before photo I do have a replacement air filter on its way. Fuse box covers were painted blue, they're now satin black Another job on the list while the bumper was off, is to add some mesh https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737966256_99b28bfa30_c.jpg[/img] I was hoping to use some thin wire to secure it, but it seems I've misplaced it and the wire I had was too thick to twist easily. I ended up using cable ties for the time being https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131882_c2b7989dcc_c.jpg[/img] Was pleasant to see this https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131627_8b2aab13b3_c.jpg[/img] The last thing to do was to fix the front grill and re-mesh that to match but I ran out of time The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4FsF6tgizE&t=23s
