Thanks to all who came. Was a great cruise. I probably have one more cruise in the making.

Terry, no excuses next time brother!

Nice to meet more people. I'm glad everyone enjoyed the day. Definately makes you feel as though you did have a weekend, thats for sure.

Catch up with you all soon! =)

Hi All,

I'd like to thank everyone involved in organising this cruise & everyone who turned up on the day, I had a great time smile.gif

Only problem (if you wanna call it that) is that I never figured out who was who from this forum, ah well!

I'm flat out getting ready to move but can't wait to check out all the pics and posts later...

I also took a few and will upload when I get time.

I see mention of the video - I'd love to see some - I spotted somebody videoing us leaving the tea rooms - that'd be quite something to see. (Not sure if anyone overtly hooned at this stage or not). Anyway, I can understand why it's not a good idea to put some of the video up for anyone to view... maybe there is another way we can do this?

I had a video cam set up in my car but I stuffed up the positioning a bit - plus it moved from all the vibration - so you get a good view of me driving but not much from out the windscreen ermm.gif

My car was fine on the day, except on the way back my seatbelt unbolted from the floor - too much vibration along the last leg near the tea rooms I guess!

Cheers

Have to add this....

Well Done James, and i guess the Mrs too for her part also, on yet another 'Cruise'.

It is good to get out of the 'Danger areas', and into the sticks for a cup of Tea and Scones.

It certainly was impressive in the turn-out, I still got to get the pics we took up on the Board.

I kinda lost a few of you guys, but noticed.... as i drove past, quite a gaggle of Nissans in a Maccas on the freeway. Anyways...I got caught with the rain, but then again being an ex-Pom, no change i suppose!!

We need a barby that is part of the club, so we can have a bite somewhere else. (maybe?)

OR, maybe even a club-house!!!(maybe just a Bar somewhere we all know someone may be on say the 3rd weds of every month. nothin special, just a place were we can get to easily etc.

Ideas, Ideas, Ideas.... silence fool.!!

Certainly enjoyed the drive though, well done all of us. Pics say it all I suppose.

More..??

What about the ANZAC day one, is this on the Cruise roster?

Haha I didn't introduce myself to anyone... I was beaing sneaky! :whistling:

Thats why I dont like SAU cruises. No one introduces themselves. No one knows whats what and where to cruise to. Like the pizza cruise I went on with you guys.

Thats why I organise my own cruises. Cause everyone who comes is friendly, and everyone enjoys themselves.. Anyways, enough said, each to their own.

Next time you come along DRDOOF, introduce yourself mate. I saw you on the megalong valley cruise, but noticed you weren't interested in meeting any new people. So I left you to yourself.

At least I make a concerted effort to meet everyone, like I did at Olympic Park, I went to everyone and introduced myself.

Just a thought mate.

There is no need for this guys. I did not even say hi to everyone on the day to be honest i said hi to you James at the end, and intoduced to maybe 4 other people that were there excluding the friends i already had meet. I was probably to busy taking photos all the time. Anyway I did have a great day and a good drive.

My 2cents

I have bluddy no idea who anyone is either... Now I think back I saw doofs car but still have no idea wtf he is, even tho I know he sports a serious system, should of had a DB contest with the yellow 34.. Nice system there too!

I pretty much know everyone on the SAU cruises already...

And You didn't meet me at Olympic park! I don't think I met anyone there... I'm surprised we weren't flooded with people when we hopped out of the NUR...

And the only reason I didn't come and introduce myself was cause i was hung over :whistling: No hard feelings or anything, it wasn't personal...

Thursday??

Where do I get the info then ?

Ummm events section? Same place you got the info for this cruise???

MUAHAHAH! I was stealth in the NUR most of the day :whistling: That's another reason why I didn't bother introducing myself... no car, and cbf with an abundance of 'wheres your car' questions... even though I got them anyway :P

I introduced myself to everyone I think, problem is I always talk too much and most people were probably thinking, "man I wish this guy would fk off" :P

Everyone seemed fairly friendly and it was a good cruise, loved that silver R34, I want those rims! I see the Nur spec all the time as it belongs to my friend so I wasn't really gawking at it and thought the silver one was tidy as. Oh and thankyou to all the people that took photos, there seems to be a fair few photos of my stockish looking car in them for some reason, so I have some nice photos of it now. :rofl:

Some of Us Discussed This Special Car that was meant to show up..

Hey when Zilch said there was a SPECIAL car coming i was thinking some juiced Up GT2 Porsche , Ferrari Or Lamborgini , the only reason why you werent flooded with people when You hoped out of The NUR Is because some people Dont regard it as a Super Car , I honestly loved it But i wouldnt think of it as something SPECIAL ... Dont take it the wrong way or anything ... The only R34 GTR I Would regard As something Special Would be without a doubt R34 GTR Z TUNE, and im sure alot of people would agree with me on that ..

Just my 2 Cents ....

P.S. Whole time i was trying to figure out WHO was Zilch , Black R33 With Gold Rims right ?

Well I liked it, and I'm sure the owner does too :D

But yeah, I tend to get wood over nice skylines, more so then I would over a nice Porsche, Ferrari or Lamborghini... I don't think of it as a 'super car' as that boundary is being pushed further and further every year, but it is still nice to see a car of only 750 in the world come and join some like minded enthusiasts on a cruise... :D

PS: Yes! :cool:

Yeah point taken, just thought with a skyline cruise people would get a real kick out of the Nur, less for people like yourself though, I mean you own 2 R34 GTRs man!!

And yes that was me, the one who wanted to "borrow" those awesome Nismo rims on your car, I only have the Koya Drifteks on mine :cool: As I said before, I really like your car, clean as and sounds great. A lot of nice cars there really, at one stage on the cruise I was unfortunate enough to have in front, beside and behind me, an R32 GTR.. While going up a hill all 3 gave it a little and damn near shook my head apart with the vibrations!

how many cars turned up fellas.

I didnt do a count, but I'm pretty sure there were easily 30 cars at a minimum.

There were at least 20 cars at the Eastern Creek truck stop alone, and I noticed many more at the tea rooms :cool:

... not to mention the unmarked cop car (white Commode)...

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
