Guys,

I just got my V35 sedan three weeks ago. Quite keen on a cruise and the proposed date of 30 Jan is fine for me (if you guys don't mind having a sedan tag along that is :-))

Hi thinktea, all V's are welcome.

I think it will only be a short cruise though this time. more of a social thing I reckon.

Will have to watch the weather, if we get more rain like we have had recently, my car will stay in the garage

The tyres that the compliance workshop fitted are shocking in the wet. Have only done about 7,000K on them and the have plenty of rubber but try going around a corner in the wet and you can forget it. Bloody Australian standards!

Anyone want to suggest a meet point and time?

1000 steps car park around 9.00 am OK?

Thanks...Hopefully the weather will be like today....absolutely glorious with not a cloud in the sky.

1000 steps car park sounds good to me..

Time and general location is good, but its there another carpark we can meet at around there? My car (and maybe a few others) will scrape the retractable spikes on the way out.

So a quite drive in the Dandenongs on Sunday 30th January, starting at 9.00 am

Followed by Snags on the barbie and a cold beer.

Still thinking about the exact route but want to end up back in Belgrave

Meeting Point...

McDonalds Car Park Burwood Hwy between Knox and FTG (1000 steps canceled by request)

Do we know total numbers yet. I think g35me is coming

Chris B V36 Coupe (and possibly my mate Sean in his R35)

G35me V35 Coupe or R35

Scorp V35 Coupe

Japav V35

Thinktea V35 Sedan

Guys, so sorry again about leading you off the tarmac and onto the dust road. Hope you all got your cars washed since.

I know where we went wrong so it wont happen next time.

Big thanks to G35me for being a good sport.

Chris

    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
    • Yeah Jap import. Fairlady Z then! I'm a bit the same.  They've been on my radar for a fair while but then just impulsively decided to buy one!  Was going to just buy an NA and add turbos to it later but decided to save the f'ing around and just buy the turbo version. 
    • Thanks mate, well done to you too! Yeah not looking forward to doing any major work to it!
