Good day today! Pity about the sunburn! Good maps with easy directions to follow, well done!

As for getsum, yeah it wasn't the drivers comments, it was his passenger. But in saying that he brought the passengers so he is responsible for their behaviour. Not to mention the 'driver' was also drinking smirnoff cans at one of the stops, that definately isn't very responsible or a good image for the club.

Perhaps the cruises should be alcohol free as it is a family event!?! Not to mention dangerous driving through some of the roads.

But aside from my above whinge it was an awesome cruise.

Thanks for organising it guys, makes a good day out!! :worship:

finally got around to uploading some more photos.

If your friends are so hard I'm sure they can defend themselves, so no need for you to do it for them. And enough with the veiled threats of violence, you just come off as a keyboard warrior.

You say you're "exactly the same" and "proud"?? So you're proud of being a tool who chucks skids in the middle of the day on a charity cruise? does ridiculous speeds on the freeway on a charity cruise?, belittles other Skyline owners on a SKYLINE charity cruise?, swears at women when confronted about their actions? and drinks alcohol while driving on a charity cruise.

You and your friends are the kind of people who give the Skyline community a bad name in the eyes of Joe public. They see the actions of drivers (and their passengers) like you and your mates and tar us all with the same brush.

You tell people to "think before they speak", how about you all think before you ACT!

On a positive note, congratulations and thanks to the organisers and all the other lil' doers on another successful and well planned SCC.

Unfortunately I had to leave early due to family commitments, but the time I did spend was very enjoyable, Cheers :worship:

First up, i'd like to say I was very impressed with the turn out, and the behaviour. There is always gonna be one or two people, no matter what you say, who don't behave in one form or another. But all in all it was fab. Thanks to everyone who helped organise, thanks to those who helped set up and pack up, and thanks for voting on the show and shine peeps. I personally loved the swimming the most, except for being molested by those little forking turtles. And NO Andy it wasn't freakin fish. I swear to god it was a definite 'snapping' action going on. Now, down to business...

i dont know if he was yellen but the passenger didnt have many nice words i didnt pay much attention after his first few words

that coppa was a champ ??

lol so now the truth comes out was the passenger yeh well thats no suprise thats all fair enough next time take ur greif up wiv him not the driver and bad mouth him and his pl8s i no him pretty well 2 so i no it wouldve been an adventure hahaha.also b4 u say some shit bout me i exactly same and proud kinda glad i left mine in the garage 2day

Okay first thing's first. I was the bird in the pink shirt who hassled the driver. Yes I did assume (which does make an ass out of u & me :worship:), but his mate, the passenger (who was clearly pissed off for some reason unknown to all of us) denied ANYONE making comments. It was made very clear that there were no inflammatory comments or verbal dihorrea coming from that car. Either the alcomohol was blurring his memory, or he was just to chicken shit to admit he'd caused a fuss on a charity event.

thank u blinkstar and i agree wiv u on the fact he took him on the cruise so he is responsible 4 his actions so next time whoever it was who went 2 driver wiv the problem go 2 the source

We would have, if we had've had the correct information, and if he didn't flatly deny that anyone said anything. The sauce is weak in that one.

I have no problems with the rest of you, or the driver of GETSUM for that matter, he seemed like a very reasonable fellow, didn't come back with any bullshit remarks about being in school, he was straight down the line 'I didn't say anything, we don't want to cause problems' that sort of thing. And that is all fine, but that pain in the ass passenger needs to learn his place. If you're a passenger you have to behave like everyone else, drivers, gf/bf's and pets included. No mouthing off at others unless they've gone out of their way to be pricks or cause issues with you, no screaming at people for no reason, and no shitting on the grass.

I did manage to talk to some guy who had well wicked Adidas NBA Pistons sneakers :D and I have a feeling he was the other car joined with the GETSUM crew. Fab guys, nothing bad to say about them whatsoever. Hope you can overlook our irate-ness at your mate with the flap jaw and come to more events... even if all we do is talk star trek & computers :) Perhaps next time we can gab about our flux capacitors and brush each others' hair :(

Mmmmm sunburn and insect bites, It was a good day and a good turn out. It was good to catch up with you all. Noel your car is looking and sounding awesome well done, and hello to the bitch in the passenger seat. Did you make it to Everton Park in one piece you guys were gone. Double lines and caravans kept getting in the way so we got held back, thats my excuse and im sticking to it.

This little thing with GETSUM nice car by the way, I didnt hear or see anything what happened. Yes he was drinking alcohol but that was his decision. When impact blue was talking to them about the matter he was just saying that its all over and lets just enjoy the cruise, if they were trouble i think they would of carried on with it but they didnt.

I think its all being over exaggerated.

Any videos going around yet.

Well done to the organisers

Anyway cant wait for the next meet.

Edited by subzeroR33

was a great day i really enjoyed the drive.. got a bit sunburnt though ;)

nice to finally meet some people in person and see some old friends again. Looking forward to attending more events over the next few months. I have some pics that ill put up tonight.

Well done to all the skyline attendees, there were definately some nice cars out!!!

Was good to catch up with everyone again even if it is only once a year.

(I was even remembered by someone from my roo incident back before the first MSC)

Where exactly did we end up for the bbq anyway? not a bad drive but I've lost that map.

I think i got my daily bug intake too...where the heck did they all come from? lol

    • 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. 
    • I was able to get some underside photos while the car was on the ramp The suspension is all Altezza/IS200/IS300 so getting part's will hopefully be less of a headache
