oh okay, yea some rather silly overtaking on blind corners by some people!but i welcome that the cruise was still a steady reasonable pace which was awesome!and the olds,well i have spoken to them a few times, and i continue to wonder how they do what they do? the fact they support a scene (imports/drift) that took their son away is rather breath taking! olds, i think i can comment on behalf of everyone, keep up the good work, your very approachable people, and from what i have heard, you support people in any way possible which is something to be proud of! thanks again jonny

^^^ Jonny, why'd you think oh shit? Bit of a late overtake? I got halfway and thought 'oh, f**k'. Safer to keep going then the suddenly brake and cut back in behind him (plus I thought you'd be bring up the rear at a hot pace). Believe me, that move kept my palms well lubricated haha

Now, by boat, you mean my suspension is soft as? Yeah, I need coilovers...

That car accident was the worst bit, split us all up which resulted in my and Mark (blue S15) cruising for the majority of the way to Victor, untill BAM white 32 GTR, Red S13, White S13, and a few others all of a sudden were tagging along.

yeah i had to detour to get some petrol, the other cars followed, time we all turned around and got back on track, u guys must have gone past. was a nice thrash, been forever since ive done that.

all overtaking was fine, nothing sus lol. everyone had a good time.

^^^Were you in the red S14?

I saw Type Vu at the meet spot and was surprised to see Luke Fink on the cruise also.

yeah dude, that was me. vu was only there to get beer. :blush:

Made this quickly. not the best one but meh. Not bad for a quick pan with a handy cam.

Pitty about the car park situation at Victor would have been good to run back to Adelaide in a group well maybe next time...

awsome cruise! hey matty you didnt happen to be filming when i went past you as you were pulled over after the over taking lane were you? :)

nah was waiting for a mate of mine in his RX7 from interstate (looked in my mirror and he wasnt there lol)

Big thanks to everyone who came along and showed their support! Means a lot to me, and no doubt to 'the Olds'.

Everything went pretty well, especially considering the lack of organisation on my part lol...

Hope most enjoyed the route, spewin it was as busy as it was but I certainly wasn't expecting that... would have been nice to get a decent run down into yank & normanville thru that windy hills section but we were held up by many a car who for some reason required 2.5 lanes to negotiate their falcoon wagon down even at only 9.6km/h ??? and somehow it's us who earn the 'bad driver' label ??

Also apologies to everyone for the victor parking situation... yet another thing I definitely didn't forsee as being quite that bad :)

But to those who snagged a park, & stayed for lunch, well done, thank you.

All in all, was a good day, cheers again for all the donations, both time & money...

Special thanks to Nicko & the 'Smooth Garage' boys for sponsoring the cruise, Little bec for helping with donations, Mike Cop for donating his time for the shoot, 'SASLY' for his donation & also a CONGRATS to him for winning the shoot too.

Mark & Jules - We love you guys... your generosity, love & support is second to none.. Our scene wouldn't be the same without you both.

Can't wait for the BSM Cruise, keen as mustard to stretch the GTR's legs (& maybe flex its muscles too) on that one!!

Thanks again, speak soon.

Lindo & Bec

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
