haha yeah 6 cars ended up comin through for a gander at what was going on with the rex, lucky they couldn't prove how fast he was going, but i think everyone can say they they shat a little when the cops were walking up an down checkin out the other cars and wat happened to the 33 4dr? coz cops were talkin to the owne then it look like he was raising the car up, dam it was low an loud, lucky they didnt hear it haha

yer cruise was great until i had to raise my car up. they said it was to low and they were gonna give me a yellow and then impound my car for some reason. but in fairness to them they let me raise it up on the spot(thank god for coilovers might get bags next time) which wasn't to bad and they were quite happy with it in 4WD spec and let me off. thank god they didn't check under the bonnet.

But yer great cruise and good turn out :thumbsup:

had a great time at the cruise today..lots of gorgeous looking cars ard..just too bad the cops had to come and spoil the party..the tunnel run was just breathtaking!! really pity the wrx, damn unlucky to get caught, but all in all a very enjoyable first time cruise!! looking forward to the next big cruise! :thumbsup:

Hey Julz, Great work with the cruise! Fun stuff with the cops at the second last meet... What was that wrx thinking when he came through? Great to meet some more people and see some more of the great skylines out there! As well as the other cars, and the stageas!!

Think I spotted you guys going through the intersection of Leach and Risley St, Booragoon around 11pm. I was at the lights in my other car, just finished watching Step Up 2. Would have joined in, but my fuel tank was right on zero at that point.

Nice pics Optic

Good cruise, great turn out!! I bailed early when the cops came, didnt want a yellow on my first cruise. Didnt have a good night afterwards, got pulled over by the cops later on that night, then one was suspicious with the directions on my passenger seat!! Dunno why I bailed, mine was the most boring and stock car there!! Maybe next time it'll look better. Good to meet a lot of you guys, and well done on the organisation!!

Haha yeah cops were good sports in the end I guess, kinda glad I have a stock looking car, just glad I didn't have to start it in front of them lol, straight through 3" ftl :thumbsup: Got pulled in to a RBT on the way home too, 200m after smashing limiter ::D I swear the FMIC is for show officer :down: And to top it all off, wheelspin through 1st through an intersection in front of a cop... damn I have good luck haha!

Good cruise though, Scarbs on a Friday night was always gonna be hectic but wasn't too bad in the end. Good map though, I must admit I looked at it at the start and thought "yep, another hotspot cruise" but turned out to be a really good fun :ph34r:

Some gorgeous looking cars there, mad props to the 34 GTR with the chameleon rims too, pure porn!

Cheers!

was a good cruise

really well written map

pitty about the cops

cheers

Thanks mate, First time ive organised cruz and the second one I've ever been on. Didnt expect soo many people would be at scarborough, made us park far from the food places. Cant wait to see more photos from the guys with the nice cameras. They buy nice equipment and we get to have nice photos, lucky to have them around cheers! Ah well cops have to do their job.

I think mosman beach was a nice stop ay..? maybe next time get all the cars in a diagonal formation or something for a good photo. One just with the cars and one with the cars and their owners standing near it or something.

^ bloody good idea julz...

was gonna go and intro myself when i saw you handing out maps but i didn't know you were 'mellow yellow' until later on and i was like nah... next time lol

girlfriend was getting cranky; pregnant = hungry, tired and exhausted which is also why we bailed early...

was an awesome turnout though, loved the stops except scabs was a bit unfortunate, just finished getting food... didn't even get to start eating and saw all of you guys leaving the carpark, thought we were gonna get left behind then got followed by at least 2 cop cars onto the freeway then one followed us from freeway to burswood... cops behind us in the tunnel = B O R I N G...

awesome cruise though, awesome

very happy with the map, keep that one for other cruises, its especially SOR friendly too, so i liked it.

Great run through the tunnel, Gate open, it was music to my ears. :thumbsup:

Ate to much at Macca's though, feeling sick now lol.

    • 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
    • The video for the servicing and fuel filter change can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44 One of the main jobs I wanted to do before the car officially went on the road, was to remove the awful looking blue silicone hoses. There's nothing wrong with having coloured silicone hoses, but I realise as I'm getting older I prefer monotone engine bays with a splash of colour on the engine cover(s). I cover this in a lot more detail in the Youtube video, so unfortunately there's limited photos of the process. The intercooler, upper radiator, boost vacuum and upper breather hoses were all changed to black silicone with mikalor clamps. The only blue left is a blanking cap at the back of the inlet manifold and the GReddy pulleys (which will be replaced for stock when the cambelt gets replaced) While the intercooler pipes were off I gave them a quick clean/polish too A before photo I do have a replacement air filter on its way. Fuse box covers were painted blue, they're now satin black Another job on the list while the bumper was off, is to add some mesh https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737966256_99b28bfa30_c.jpg[/img] I was hoping to use some thin wire to secure it, but it seems I've misplaced it and the wire I had was too thick to twist easily. I ended up using cable ties for the time being https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131882_c2b7989dcc_c.jpg[/img] Was pleasant to see this https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131627_8b2aab13b3_c.jpg[/img] The last thing to do was to fix the front grill and re-mesh that to match but I ran out of time The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4FsF6tgizE&t=23s
