Brad, Favour - can you please message me first meet point :) As i have to meet sister in law in City at 11 to show her the bridesmaids shoes so im going to be about 30mins late.

Done...but just this once :D

It will go on regardless....probably rain in parts but "shouldn't" be too heavy, doesn't look as bad in the sky as it did last week. Thanks, more from Jeff Newman tomorrow.

yeah, pretty shit turn of events at the lights in Perth. Just Car is not open, so I will call tomorrow and hopefully my Fully Comp will cover all 3 cars. $600 excess. At leas the woman in the Hyundai wasn't a total bitch about it. Funny when Donovan said "is that your mum in the car, is she ok?" :D:)

Sorry about all that Donovan and others behind. :)

Just got back from dons house.

amazed to see the dmg his car sustained compared to the r32 gtr rear end... GTR's are made tough eh.

hopefully it all works out... i couldnt make this cruise due to meeting...

hope it all works out eh...

Awww sorry ot those that had their cars damaged. Hope it all sorts itself out.

I went to the second meet point and had fun from there on in - was a good cruise - little 'trafficky' in parts but that can't be helped sometimes. Glad i made the effort :(

that was a great cruise for most people. Don called me and told me what happened; I couldn't believe it. I was going to come back and help but I was told to keep going.

For the R33s, I have my stock front bumper someone can borrow until their car is back on the road. It's silver, buts better then nothing. Oherwise someone can buy it for $150!!

Other then that I really enjoyed it. I wanted to talk to a few more people, but my passengers were being unsociable.

:( guys. Hope everything works out ok. That was at the Mount St ?.

On an upbeat note, it was good to meet some new people and thanks to the Silvia guys and gals for the company. Good cruise...Canning Rd was definitely the highlight as usual, thanks for the company Dan...I'm tired, time for a margarita then a lie down.

Sorry to hear about the accident in the city :( Only when we got to Gateways I heard about it, and one guy mentioned a gunmetal gtr was one, a wine red 33 was another (some people thought it was me). Then I noticed Tom wasn't there & had a feeling it was him. That must have happened just behind me, I'd overtaken Tom in the tunnel & you wouldn't have been that far back. Again sorry to hear and hopefully they get fixed quickly.

That aside....it was a long day & after a wet start the weather turned good so even though we lost a lot of cars throughout we still had about 30 at the end. A long cruise, with the exception of the above & the dumbarse who decided it would be a good idea to park their car just around a blind corner on zig zag rd instead of pulling off to the side 5m away, was pretty event free!

Thanks to everyone who came out from both clubs :(

I broke my $380 carbon radiator shroud :(

Glad the cruise was good otherwise, Don called me and said with damage over $1000 a police report needs to be made so I'll be visiting my local cop shop tomorrow I think.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
