Some more trivia...

* The Value of the Hardware on Show was over $3.25 million

* Kyoshi Hans cut/sliced his own Kimono during his demonstration. Cost? Over $400

* Despite being a fine but windy day, some of the local trees got an unexpected watering

* Narelle and her partner with an R34 GT-R got lost & had to call me 2X. First from Hawkesbury Lookout & next from Mt Tomah.

If they PM me, I have a Booby Prize of 1X R34 GT-R Keyring. The condition is that they own up to their sins on this forum first! hehe

hey all, i joined here quite a while ago to have a look at a few things.

i was fortunate enough to be in sydney for this event, all i can say is wow!!

the event was organised fantastically, and the turnout of cars was just wow!! (i cant say that enough)

jsut like to say that it was so nice to spend some time with people who love there cars as much as you guys do.

i have been on some other cruises where the members dont have the time of day for ya.

for the people who spoke to the random guy from Bundaberg, thanks for saying hi :laugh: lol

i myself dont own a skyline but was lucky to be able to tag along with my mate mr cali (ZI11AR R32 GTR)

i cant thank him enough for taking me, and having to leave early for the airport.

i am slowly going through my pics, and trying to find some good ones

my photography skills arent great, but i gave it a go.

here is one pic, i will post some more up as i go

straight out, best part was the 2 gtrs dumping it coming out :laugh: . so stop ur sulking and get the hell over it.

one more thing someone might like to clear up for me, and i mean no offence by this, but howww did that black gtr win BEST exterior. undoubtedly that silver gtr (FLYT34 plates), or that blue tommi kaira gtr and the white MINES gtr were ALOTTTT more appealing exterior wise.

all in all not a bad event ;)

No offence taken. Black is just too sexy I guess (joke) :thumbsup:

The other cars you mentioned are definately Awesome and much better than mine.

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.

Bakes I realy wanted to meet you man, I realy wanted to put a face to the name but I guess there was just too many people to meet on the day. Oh well it just tells you the number of people that were there. There's always next time. I know your car now though, So next time I spot your car I'll probably know what you look like LOL

Imo, any colour of an R34 GT-R looks hot. Even the most boring colour of silver looks incredibly stunning with a nice set of rims and a bit lowered. White is also boring as batshit but that Mines replica car looks so damn sexy. Red is a love / hate colour i reckon as well, but when I saw a GT-R in that colour, it made me drool because it's so damn rare to find one. And if you match a red R34 with TE37 Time Attack rims (black with red lip), I gotta say it's the best colour combination in the world.

Purple is a colour I would never ever EVER pick for a car. Furthermore, my thoughts of a cameleon coloured car would make me vomit when i see them on the road. But why do I own a Midnight Purple III coloured car? Because it looks incredibly unique on a GT-R, especially when less than 200 were made from factory (thanks for the trivia Dave, my fellow MPIII owner ;))

Finally, black is such a difficult colour to keep clean, even when it's slightly dirty, you can see it a mile away. But when it's kept in an impeccable condition like Bakes car, coupled with some nice dished gold GT-C's, it's a sure show winner. Bakes got my vote as well. Good work mate. :thumbsup:

Another worthy mention was the black GT-R with Z tune bonnet and gold LMGT4's. Black matched with bronze is a sure crowd winner as well. :laugh:

Thanks for organizing the cruise, we had a bit of fun and it was good to be out and see so many nice cars on the day. Shame about the weather though .. I froze my ass off after "volunteering" my jacket to a silly girl that came in very light clothing .. luckily we still had a blanket to wrap ourselves in.

Note to self - bring extra warm clothing whenver going to the mountains next time, even if its sunny.

Denis I think you should have offord that girl a hug instead to warm her up LOL

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      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.

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      By suko · Posted

      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. 🤞
