YeaH was a good day but it was sooo freakin hot. Thats why we left early. It was like living in Townsville again... And definately would have been interesting if it was raining whilst going up that windy road. Was good fun. OMY33 watched me try take out a motorbike on the high way hehe :P btw im KIDDING PPL.

Firstly a congrats to the organisers of this event, it was very well done! Im sure that the destination was fantastic too BUT unfortunately I didn't make it that far!!!! With the heat and the traffic that we encountered from Aspley I think that I killed a coil pack. Stopped off the side of the Daguilar Hwy to cool down for 15min but to no avail. After an hour of snoozing she started and ran fine so I made a bee-line for home but 20min later lost a cylinder again, luckily managed to limp home on only five!!!!

A huge thanks to the organisers and fellow skyliners for such a great day! Even if a few of us did take the scenic route and arrived fashionably late at Mt Mee... ;) Food was awesome and it was fantastic to catch up with everyone again!

So glad we left when we did! We had to stop off at Garden City for half an hour or so to put the skyline undercover, as we had heard there was hail down our way. But by the time we left we had a good run home with only a bit of heavy rain.

Once again thanks to everyone!

Great day out. Congrats to the organisers. Should be a great 12 months ahead. I'm with you on the no air con situation. The re-gas has jumped priority !!

Met a lot of new people and put some faces to forum names. I think a special thanks needs to go to Chris who was over the hot BBQ plate practically the entire time. As much as we were hot he must have been roasting. Thanks mate.

congrats to the organisers!! my first skyline cruise and it was fantastic!! the route taken was excellent!! but may i suggest that next year, no matter where the cruise goes, u start a little closer to the outskirts of brisbane so we dont get broken up by all the taffic lights. the hypermarket is a great spot with lots of room, but the traffic lights made it difficult to get so many cars out. but all in all, Fantastic! A++!!

Had fun today though I got burnt mainly from standing around, the mrs, on the other hand, got badly burnt.

Didn't run into any rain on the way back to Nambour(where the mrs lives) but on the way back to Bribie, I think I ran into the mother of all storms.

Within a short period of time, the back road from Beerburrum to Caboolture was underwater in about 4 places.

Old Toorbul Point Road was very nicely flooded and my Skytara didn't do too well through the deep water but I made it out the other side and home.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.

      Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.

      Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!

      Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
