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..

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...

    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
    • I forgot about my shiny new plates!
    • Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.
