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:

Hi Zilch!!!! :P

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)...

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • 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
