A bit of trivia...

The "NISSAN" sign was on loan to us from Chris Reely marketing mngr of Nissan Motor Co (Aust) Eastern sector after Springwood Nissan was forced into receivership.

I just had to pluck up the 'guts' to ask him for it from an empty showroom lol.

A black R34 GT-R owned by Ron Perry stopped for a few minutes on Bells Line Of Road. His son needed a leak. 5 convoy cars stopped to render assistance!

Breenhold Gardens Estate owner came out to us organisers & asked us to move on to a (already full) picnic ground. Then he asked me if anyone was coming in.

That's when I realised that our parked cars were NOT good for his business. I didn't have the heart to ask him for the use of his toilet.

mxfly & I got an agreement all round that the organisers would wear orange shirts. Two organisers can't tell between orange and red.

mxfly had no chance of winning Best Wheels unless most of the judges were female. Pink wheel nuts indeed!

mxfly graciously gave up his Award for Best...... so that someone else could share in a Prize with the Award Certificate signed by Mark Skaife (due next week)

I had an awesome day and it was a pleasure to be out again. :)

Special thanks to Pete (STYLN) for the shotgun seat and the steer on the way home, You bastard I want another Stagea now!!! LOL

Thanks to Tez & Co. for organising the event, Next time make sure the air temps are a touch warmer - I couldn't feel my hands after about 15mins lol.

Overall though it was an awesome day out. :bunny:

Kat - congratulations on your award!

Sorry I didn't know your name! haha. Im pretty sure it was "GTRKat from the forums" but I would've looked stupid if I was wrong.

fantastic cruise today guys... even though bakes and i missed the first group (what a mission that was!! :) )... i had a ball of fun.. the cars were great... the organisation was great.. big props to terry and the crew.. the spot was fantastic... i think i took more photos of the surroundings then of the cars... congrats to the award winners.. lots of tough cars.. ill have a play with the photos and post em up tomorrow when i should be working...

i got a great photo of terry in action!

and so y'all know .... bakes's gtr has got some get up and go now its all tuned and it sounds fantastic.. i leave it up to him to fill you all in if he feels like it... but from the passenger seat... lots of fun.

one more thing... i hate to put a dampner on things... but who was the goof who punched it out the first round about in the gtr group... i think it was white... a light colour anyway... was last in the group.... seriously mate, nice way to show that skyline drivers are respectable lot... couldnt you have waited till you got a bit out of the populated area??

cheers all

Linton

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
