Damn. Did it have to be saturday?!

Unfortunately, the cruise is all geared up for the Saturday. It's a long drive so we'll need the better bat of the day to to the full round. Is there any chance you can make it on the Satuday?

Damn, I read this thread thinking it'd be a good chance to take the R out for its first cruise and photo op but it's a Saturday! :/ Can't make it :D

Ah well, there'll be plenty more cruises to go to in future.

Just to sum up the numbers so far:

Chris R31

Skyhigh33

Lavz 90

Freespirit (Maybe)

Fc3s13bt + Friend

Voox (Maybe)

Basti (Maybe)

Dngrus (Maybe)

For all the "maybies" could you please confirm yay or nay by the 18th? Just need to get a firmer grip on who's coming and who to wait for.

Just posting an idea for a new cruise taking in the beach, city and mountains.

Full tank of fuel reccomended at first meet point

DATE: Saturday 19th of April

TIME: Meet at 2:00pm depart 2:30pm

TOTAL CRUISE TIME one way including stops (Approx): 4 - 4.5 HOURS

Meet Point: Car Park on the Esplanade between Maidstone St. and Rose Street in Altona (See attached image from Google Earth) Go over the West Gate Bridge and as soon as you step off, hang a left into Cook Street and continue towards Beach Street.

Approx 45min Drive to First Stop.

First Stop: Carpark on Marine Parade at the end of Blessington Street in St. Kilda. Approx time of arrival 3:15pm. We'll probably hang around for about 15 - 20 minutes.

From here we'll head to Dandenong Road (Pincess Highway) and travel as far as Warrigal Road where we'll turn onto the Monash Freeway. Take the Wellington road exit (C413) and continue to Clematis. Here we turn Left on the C412 (Belgrave Gembrook Road) Continue through the roundabout in Emerald, continue about 6kms and go straight though the roundabout onto the C411 towards Woori Yallock. Once we hit Woori Yallock turn right onto the B380 todards Yarra Junction.

Approx 1hr 45min drive to Second Stop.

Second Stop: Yarra Juntion Carpark Arrive at about 4:30. I don't know it's exact location, but it's on the left as you enter Yarra Junction from the City Ther is a big oval and toilets, you can't miss it. It's a gravel carpark. Again.. we'll probably be around for about 20 minutes. Have something to eat etc...

From Yarra Junction we'll continue towards Noojee, and on towards Mt. Baw Baw. I think there will be a $5 cover charge per car to enter the Baw Baw National Park. If people don't want to enter the park we can just turn around at the gate and head back down the twisties.

Approx. 1 Hour drive to Final Location.

Final Location: Carpark at the top of Mt. Baw Baw. Arrive at about 6:00pm. Stop here for a while and if the numbers are up take some pretty impressive photos.

There are some awesome fast twisties leading up to Noojee and losts of sharper, slower twisties towards Mt. Baw Baw.

Does anyone else need any more information about it?

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
