Cruise was awesome fun.

Everyone leaving the first point got a bit silly. One thing to take off ahrd but the guys doing the "wankers yank" to make the car wheelspin because they dont have enough power is retarded. Wont be showing that in the DVD.

I filmed the drive up with Dom ( blue Autostyle GTR) Jerry ( Mines GTR) and Ferds ( BBM T88 GTR) and i must say it will make for some awesome footage.

The feature on the cruise will be in Motive DVD issue 003 which comes out in Sep. Motive 003 is going to be a GTR special too.

A huge "Well Done" to Terry and the other organisers. Great day.

Was good to meet some new people and catch up with others.

Big Thanks to Scott from Insight Motorsports who opened up on Sunday for me to get my car out. I was late, but I got there in the end.

wasn't that when you were referring to it as "Captain Hook"

:(

You Serious,

i think i saw atleast 30 cars punching it here and there , whoever it was he wasnt the only person .

+1 For launching , everybody was jeed up

Terry it was a good cruise good stuff champ .....

like i said we were late so we missed the main group, and the 2nd group and the launching.. im all for the launching from the first meet point as it was there was noone around... i didnt see the main group... but there was a group that came through the round about heading towards the first meet point, chucked a u turn down the road and all took off again.. was about 6 or 7 gtrs and there were loads of people at that roundabout.. i just wasnt very impressed as there was no need for that particular car to do what they did at that point.. they did a bit more than tromp it.

Hey champ if was anything is was your mates initating what u called the "wankers yank" the 1st couple of cars took off hard then the rest were LAUNCHING their vechiles.......

So i guess the rest of the group just followed

"Awesome footage " meaning driving very hard is that what u mean????

If u say that then its no different the ur "wankers yank"

I dont appreciate when u pick and choose what it acceptable driving and what is not!!!

I personally think its alot easier to lose control of a vechile at HIGH speed on road they aint familiar with then lauching a car champ!

Maybe you should have told how u feel at the time cause there were ALOT of cars launching their cars with ur mates Dom and all them initating it!!

Thanks for ur imput Andrew!!! :(

I'm looking forward to some good pics of

CARS + Yuka-san

CARS + NISSAN Sign (2X up already thanx)

CARS + Kyoshi Hans & Sensei Dave swords drawn over Bakes' Award-winning car on The Avenue in filtered sunlight, under autumn leaves :(

GTR32X nevermind mate.

We are thankful to Andrew that he was there to capture the event on film. If he decides to exclude footage that may seem to tarnish the event's overall success and purpose, then I'd think many, if not most, will agree to that.

+1. That should look brilliant!

+1,

There is no doubt it is absolutely awesome to see (and hear) the R34 GT-Rs launching hard... But there's a time and place to do it; the Regatta centre was a bit iffy for us organisers as, the way I see it, they were respectful enough to let us park there (in a restricted parking area) without causing us grief, so we should respect the area in return (even if it was a quiet street). On public roads in amongst other cars (i.e. roundabout with other cars) is pretty stupid.

Let's try not to feed the Today Tonight stereotype, they have enough bad material already.

Kudos to everyone who behaved themselves and drove carefully around the Avenue at Mt Wilson. It was a bit more cramped than we had hoped but I think the cars looked fantastic under those trees. :( Hope everyone had a good time.

Aha one of my DR30...cheers! The old girl is 25 this year...makes the R34's mere babies! ;-)

Thanks guys for a great day, thoroughly enjoyable both on the cruise and at the show!

Fantastic day, thanks to everyone for coming along, and to those who made the extra effort to vote.

Here are a few pics that I took (I've taken quite a few that are similar to the great ones above (but not as good) so here are some others...

    • Yes I can see how that would put you off HFM, especially with the price of good quality brake fluid. From what I understand it as you say the BM50 is the standard BMC for a R32 GTR, I must admit I would like to go far a Genuine Nissan BM57, but lack of cash prevents that at present. With the price being so close between the genuine BM50 and BM57 a BM57 New it seems a better choice as you gain that 1/16 bore size with the BM57, I would be interested in how much difference you feel with the BM57 fitted. I am going to take SteveL's advice in the short term and see how much actually comes out of that proportioning valve vent and save up for the Genuine Nissan part. Thanks for clarifying the HFM failure
    • Thanks mate. I just got the post inspection 1/2 done from state roads when the starter motor packed up, either that or the car alarm system is having trouble.  OEM part number 23300-AA112.
    • Hi, I though I was coming to an end in finding a replacement starter motor for a rb25de neo. I came across a starter motor from Taarks and a message below stating: Direct fit. 11 Tooth count. All below part numbers have been superseded to 11 teeth. Can some body shed some light on going from 8 teeth to 11 teeth apart from 36-month / 25,000 km warranty for passenger vehicles to 12 Month Warranty. Compatible with the following Nissan part numbers: 23300-20P00 23300-20P01 23300-20P05 23300-20P10 23300-20P11 23300-AA111 23300-AA112 23300-AA300 23300-08U10 23300-08U11 23300-08U15  
    • Low battery? Maybe check capacity? I know first-hand, on BMWs if your battery drops below 80% capacity, it starts causing strange issues.
    • 8.5 +37 = should fit rear, but I think it'll hit on front. What you want is low 30s/high 20's front, mid 30's rear. That 17" screenshot you posted looks good, I'd run it on my R32 (but that's long dead now). For tyre sizes, my rule of thumb is: 8': 235, 9": 255. But that's just my opinion. Nismo sizes: 18x8.5+35/18x9.5+38 is a good starting point.
