to the dude with the foggies on the S1 r33, were they oem or did you put them on yourself?

that was leigh he use to have the r33 4 door but i think he picked it up the other night and the foggies were already on the car. I WANT THEM!!!!!

Great night! First cruise with the club and loved every moment of it! Definately going to attend the east meets west cruise. Hope the guy in the white r33 who got pulled up just after the end of the cruise got away alright.

Thanks for a great night.

that would of been me, when i got the car they were already on, same with my old 4 door 33 (maybe its a n.a thing?).

was a good night! had alot of fun great cruise, i didnt really want to push a 3 day old car much so i sorta was near the back of the group :)

A guy in a white R33 GTR got pulled up on Burwood HWY. I was behind him at a set of lights and a cop car was next to us bout to turn right. The lights went green an he left the lights not to quckly but sort of just enough to get a tiny bit of boost in first then changed to second n just cruised. the cop must've heard him and quickly pulled across from the right turn lane nearly cleaned me up and chaced after him. The GTR wasn't going quickyl so he got behind him then forced him to change through 3 lanses of traffic (built up cos we had all just left the lights) and down a side street. Hope nothing became of it cos he wasn't speeding and wasn't dragging or launching or anything. Only thing he could've got done for would've been mods so hope she was clean.

And now,

Thanks for the cruise wayne it was my first proper cruise with the club and definatly enjoyed it. I had not been through mos of those roads before and loved it. Also is there any chance of getting a bit of an outline map jus so i can make my way back there again. Thanks again for organising everything was great fun.

yeah that was me.

like restless 33 said i wasn't speeding or dragging or launching, it was only the usual breath check etc

so it is all good :)

Well im glad you all enjoyed the night..

It was my first cruise that i had put together. So i will learn by my mistakes.

As it turned out we had 29 cars there were 34 members there and with a few mates that came along

for the ride made about 50 people there on the night..

I took some pics but being night they came out crap.. :)

So if anyone got some good pics put them up...

It was also great to see a lot of new faces there and 4 guys joined up on the night

So to those 4 welcome to SAUvic..and i hope to see you all at a lot more events..

To the girl who turned GREEN and chucked in the car ..Next time bring a bucket.. :ninja:

For those of you who didnt come

We left Pakenham and headed up in to the hills up in to Cockatoo all the way up to the

Warburton Hwy then down the tisties in to Gembrook across to Emerald past a Boose Bus then

Up In to Mombolk up past the Silvan Reservoir then on to the Mt Dandy Tourist road down imto

Ferntree Gully were we finished ..

Anyway as i said im glad you all enjoued it

So see ya all next time..

Events Co-Ordinator.

I think they might have just missed us if they head up there now....

We had a cop car pass us when we were parked on the street at 11-12am in gembrook, didn't stop just kept on going. Then passed 2-3 police cars whilst driving, no trouble again.

given recent events with police knowing details of events/meetings, perhaps not post the route taken??

just a thought, might be just paranoid....

yeah we went past quite a few cops, as usual no issues ;) (at least i've never had any issues on an official sau vic cruise)..

30 cars, top effort! Unfortunately I couldn’t make it but I will be about Friday night @ the E vs W meet :D

Hopefully see double the amount of cars there if my suspicions prove correct :)

I can only say paranoia mate, no reason not to go into detail. It'll be in the newsletter anyhow so I don’t see a problem.

And there really hasnt been any recent 'event' other than whats been going on since i first purchased a skyline in 02, Police crack down on hoons, dont hoon and no problem!

Sooner people get over the recent level of paranoia the better as its nothing to worry about as I keep saying, and have said for years :(

dezz i was referring to possible use of the route for later events, of course i know it's been run already

and also referring to the recent Monash debacle which is probably the least hooning type event you could possible have, for goodness sakes, the group ends up eating duck and rice!

just putting it out there, that's all...

    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
    • My experience with Rising Sun Exports Before agreeing to the sale I tried to do as much research as I could (obviously), his Facebook reviews are 98% and he goes Live at least once or twice a week. I contacted 2 people in the UK who had used him for their imports, both had positive feedback. His explanation and talk through of the import process was thorough, answering any query no matter how stupid it was. It felt as soon as the money was sent, communication dropped off. I asked for shipping updates every 2 weeks or so, not wanting to pester him, he never had any updates. I wasn't informed the car had been dropped off at the port, I only found out by his Facebook story. I asked for the photos taken at the port, knowing he would need some for insurance purposes. I received a few 5 second clips and that's it. When asked again, he said his staff had them. Weeks later I asked again, he tells me he doesn't have any, but does have 50 photos from the original advert. I never received them. I eventually got the documents sent via WhatsApp after I mentioned the port was requesting them. I purchased a CarVX report, to find out the vehicle is a Grade R with recorded accident damage, first recorded in 2017 when it was first auctioned. He never told me the grade, then again I didn't ask. His response was "Grade R means nothing, it wasn't chassis damage". Still, I would have liked to have been informed about it. Jon prides himself on being open and honest when it comes to inspecting cars, it's his main job doing so at the auctions for customers. When the vehicle arrived in the UK I noticed a few little cosmetic issues. It's a 21 year old car so it wasn't going to be mint condition. The side skirts are cracked on each corner and the sealant is failing. The front grill on the bonnet/hood isn't secured very well, mounting studs are missing. Both minor things, but again, it would have been nice to be told. During a Facebook Live walk around video of the vehicle, he mentioned it has a front Whiteline anti roll bar/sway bar. While on the inspection ramp, I noticed the stock item has been installed. When first questioned, his response was "the ARB? Switched? Since when, it never had them". Since sending video and photo evidence I've not received a response. I'm probably being over critical of the overall condition of an old car, but all I wanted was honesty (which he claims to have). I'm aware I wasn't his only customer, he's busy doing XYZ but other reviews praise him for great communication with regular updates and photos, I felt I didn't receive the same treatment. 
    • I was able to get some underside photos while the car was on the ramp The suspension is all Altezza/IS200/IS300 so getting part's will hopefully be less of a headache
