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...

    • Yeah I've had too many issues with knock off's on the BMW's. I don't want to do a job twice or more because the parts are shit.
    • I read this and thought "ah! I will do this scissor jack on the tow point thing!" I just use my floor/low profile/costco jack and lift the car up by the tow hook itself, then slide jack stands under. Never thought about using scissor into floor jack combo :p
    • Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!    
    • So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat. 
    • Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞
