I get really frustrated when people make comments like this. It's the "hanger ons" that do all the ****ed up things. Not "boostcruising".

Think before you speak eh?

Sorry didn’t mean to offend you I have met you a couple of times and you seem like a really nice person and I don’t want to start a slanging match, but contrarily, if people are saying bad things about BoostCruising, then maybe some of the senior members should be looking “why” people are saying it, and taking measures to rectify it. As they say “where there is smoke there is fire”.

Unfortunately the “hangers on” may indeed be causing the problems, but if nothing is done by the senior members to teach the proper etiquette on a cruise, then they know no better.

I mean who wants to hear someone’s stereo playing over the UHF, blocking off all other communication? That is something easy to rectify.

Whether they are all “members” or “hangers on” is irrelevant, people gauge BoostCruising on their experience when cruising with them.

A lot of people are saying that there are problems now and I admit it was not always so, it used to be fun to go, but now the dynamics are changing and hiding your head in the sand is not going to change that. Soon the knob factor will reach critical mass and BoostCruising will be a yobbo’s club and nothing more

This is why *You* invite skylinesaustralia and no one ever attends.

But hell, I guess it is much easier to have a go at people for commenting on it, as opposed to doing something about it.

Oh and by the way, I always think before I say anything.

(this is not a dig at you personally or BoostCruising, just an observation is all)

Hmm i tend to agree with nexus9 there... I dont visit BC as much as i used to... i do not really like the content that is posted on that forum much anymore.

I find SAU to be pretty professional and the wealth of information/knowledge that gets shared is incredible! This is definately one of the better forums i visit.

*back on topic*

Bring on another cruise! i wanna be there for it next time :(

What you talkin' about James? Not like you look any diff in real life :D

Cruise worked out extremely well and I too am looking forward to the next one. Sorry I had to leave just before the end as the missus was waiting for her eye lash and brow treatment.

Had a little difficulty over the bumpy parts keeping my front wheels on the ground with the standard shocks up front and DMS out the back.

I couldn't help myself, and rung up the supervising officer of the policeman who pulled me and the other guy over and gave the policeman a wrap on how he wasn't a dichead about rego plates ;) If only they were all like that.

4 doorz

hmm... i see my ugly mug there too... ek.

got that locked diff back today by the way... although i probably wont put it back in... makes everyday driving quite uncomfortable. maybe if i just drifted every corner it would be sweet.

    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • 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.
