I had an idea.. if the MAS "crew" haven't already thought of it already..

With all the attention SAU will be getting at the MAS, shouldn't we plan a well planned (..yes, may be hard!) meet and cruise a week or two after just to keep the interest levels up??

Just think it might be a bit lame if we go "yeah, we're a great club, we have regular cruises and meets, come along, etc".. first question your average Autosalon punter will go (hopefully a lonesome skyline owner) is "Sounds great, so when is your next one?"... resultant blank stares and "um, er, sometime - just keep watching the website ok? there will be some, err sometime"..

4 weeks later there is actually one, by which time Mr MAS excitee gets bored and forgets about us.

So do you guys concur with my thoughts - that we should be organising something very close after Autosalon? I think it should be a reasonable sized one all day one in the style of GOR gruise out country somewhere.. Any ideas?

If u wanna attract more members, then, like u said, it's a good idea to already have one planned for when people ask about us.

For a country cruise we could always go all the way out to the 12 Apostles/London Bridge. I know it's a bit far but i reckon it's well worth it. Last time i went the traffic out in the country was next to none.(back roads that is) :D

any big cruise out to the country is a good idea.

Cruise ~ great idea! I am thinking country-style too none of this poser crap. A nice stretch of the legs is in order. BTW there is already a cruise on the 20th...info in vic thread. heading down to torquay area.

MzDefectamundo - tell Ben [from hpi] my 34 has more power than his with the stock turbo - that'll get him down here :D well maybe

I off to Sydney (mmm - long drive) that following weekend... but I think a post MAS cruise is a great idea. I am finailsiing some club-flyers - it would be good to include dates for the next couple of cruises... thoughts?

Amber: Great work with HPI! Hope it works out.

    • I havent bought a manual cover for the dash yet and no cluster change, won't bother me too much, I just need to get that auto box gone, manual in! I miss my manual. 🤪. We started last weekend and managed to get the box out. Planning to start putting it in this weekend and then order a single piece tail. We were super careful to take time and not damage anything. It's my first time working under the car.  With my S15 mainly worked in the bay. This time, it was a headache because of three or four bolts only. They simply didnt want to leave thei homr and the one securing the tailshaft, another above the GB, and the one securing the lipstick was a shit. Mates mate, Davo caught fire 🤣, nearly opened his chest up with a grinder 🤦🏽‍♂️ and both mates nearly had a plate from the box land and slit their head open. Fun times. We all survived. Not the easiest working with limited access on jackstands. As I'm sure we can agree these are the memories which make us love our car. For all three of us, was an awesome weekend and Sunday 3.30am before tools down was a fantastic effort. I need to upload pics, but looks like it needs to be via Url now. We used to be able to just upload pics back in the day. It's been that long! 🤪 Im currently spraying rustoleum under body, not because it's rusted. It's super clean, but just so it's protected for the next 10 years. There was a few surface rust spots. Which pretty much wiped off with a 3M scourer.  Really impressed with how well the previous owner maintained it. Bank account went down so quick! Service, then GB - managed to get a spanking new 34 genuine box from Nissan. All the rest of the conversion parts from Kudos.  Went with a Nismo short shifter. New pedals and Exedy Clutch and FW. Ordered the Prp Rear Main Retainer kit which should arrive Friday and my first engine mod part just like I did with my S15 will be the Tomei Expreme Turbo Outlet. Already on order. It'll likely sleep next to me on a pillow during the coming months. 🥰 Last build was on my JET200GT profile and on SAU and Hardtuned I had documented the build. Planning to try to do that again. Brands feel scarce now. Wish we still had ARC and Apexi parts readily available. Exhaust - need some advice on this. I had an Apexi exhaust on the S15 and loved the tone. My mate had a HKS HP Silent on his 33 and suggested I go with that to avoid drone. I can't remember hearing an RB25DET running that so will likely need to wait for a meet or something to hear it.  Not after big power, just enjoy building it, and drivability with minimal negative attention.
    • Have a chat with Ben at Moore Performance or Jesse at JS Performance.
    • Thanks both. All good advice. Reminds me of drilling through stone wall for drainage pipe 😬 I'll let you know how I get on if I still have use of my hands afterwards 😅
    • Finally got shipping number for the intake and throttle body, shipped by UPS, so "should" be in my hands sometime next week, fingers fracking crossed
    • I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.
