This cruise was a lot of fun ay,

even tho half of us got lost up in the hills! it gave me a great experience, and i got to test out my coil overs

some of those turns were hell sharp (good drift roads)

it was pretty hard to see the turns half the time especially going at like 100km

when we got to the end of road to turn back around to get out of the hills i almost hit 2 kangaroos, lucky i was going slow or i would have done some damage. Had to slam my brakes...

On orrong road i almost got flashed at the lights, i went through at orange and i just made it through but then i see flashes...and i saw another skyline behind me...must have passed through red. Bad luck to whoever that was.

Also bad luck to the silver wrx who got pulled over by the cops for having only one tail light working..

I had 2 cops following me for a while lucky i didn't get stopped.

Good communication skills and all to get us all out of that crazy place haha

lucky i made it back home with an empty tank :cheers:

btw has every one heard of the rule dip and fold your mirrors in the hills runs. that was ever one can have their high beams on.

If I did that I wouldn't have seen the fuckhead in the Chaser until I'd cleaned him up :( he's lucky I didn't happen across him at the next meet point.

true true, i guess to do it you have to trust every one your with, and with such a big turn out there's going to be dickheads like that there

Bubba.... what did the chaser look like if you don't mind me asking? (i.e colour etc and what did the guy look like if you remember)?

[OVAXCITED] pearl white, auto, kept dropping single wheelers, dunno what the guy looked like.

Haha that would be my dad in his R32 GTR VSpec II! Late life crisis ay :(

Nice1! he certainly wasn't shy with it either, I was barely keeping up with him round a bend onto Tonkin.. I was like "fkn gtrs!" heh

yea i no wot u mean bout the guy drivin the chaser! he was up my ass for a while n he had hid headlights that were blinding me! then he overtook me and everyone else that he got a chance too. the roads were pretty skinny not to mention the lack of vision. i thought i was a cruise not a race!! his no plates were "IMEXCITED" i think. a little too excited if u ask me. newayz was a good night. did ne1 notice if there was a speed camera at the exit of the poly farmer tunnel?? i think i got flashed but not sure. mite b trippin.

Might have been a flame pop out someones exhaust and lit up the area with a flash.. or someone flashed their high beam headlights

yea dunno maybe just trippin. the guy with the chaser busted the biggest flame out his exhaust in the hills! i thought his car was on fire it popped n then kept burnin for like 10 seconds lol n it was goin up the back of his car haha

this dick was driving on the rong side of the road coming up the side of my car and having to back off dew to the lack of road or a hair pin bend not to happy but no stone chips

biggest turn out ive seen i think. sor meet was a good size then people nor at galleria must of spun out when us sor turned up together to make carpark even more packed. was fun tho. did anyone notice that everyone was hesitant to give it a bit on the freeway towards nor meet? not used to seeing 50 performance cars going steady without breaking speed limit lol. it is a cruise afterall i guess. Always fun driving with a big group tho. love it. good work.

yea i no wot u mean bout the guy drivin the chaser! he was up my ass for a while n he had hid headlights that were blinding me!

I closed my side mirrors in through the hills, its not like you looking behind yourself anyway... I must admit though I wanted to be doing ~20kms/hr faster in the hills but my drivers headlight is pointing straight down so I wasn't blinding people in front of me :P

You were behind me up the hill I think, he ended up overtaking all of us.

his plates are [OVAXITED] member of Antilag

hills were good fun, truck stop was awesome... and yeah typical turnout for an ETUNED cruise with good cars and good drivers (generally speaking)

had fun

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
