The turbo RWDs were keeping up quite well with the R's.

yeah TBH i was stoked with my car getting around those roads compared to the R's :blink:

- JoeyJoeJoe with the crazy overtaking manuvour on the worst stretch of road possible. Man if u hadda braked we'd both be dead for sure hahaha

Nam was i the only one cought by surprise and shitting myself, when a cop walked between our two cars and asked you to "move the car unless you wanted a ticket"? Then to see a cop car heading to the same spot, as the whole group of Skylines were turning left at that round-about :D

That's about as much trouble we had with law enforcement. To be fair, i was having trouble with my GPS freezing and Nam was double parked beside me, on the main street, as he was helping me out :). Not the best thing to do when you're a block away from the Police station.

LMAO...Yeah, i saw him coming up in the rearview from about 2m back, but i didn't wanna say anything in case we both looked guilty by the time he rocked up to the window. That woulda been tragic if he was a prick and looked over our cars...would have ruined the weekend for sure!

"actually al... i can think of worse..... NAM... ph34r.gif"

umm...wattya talking about Hamish..didn't anyone else hit the oil patch on the road?? :blink:

i was pretty close to your car for that overtake, cos i didn't have a radio i didn't wanna get caught at the upcoming turn...that dip in the road sent us FLYING tho LOL...would have been an interesting landing... hahaha

looking at all them photos...i really need an indicator!!

Anyone got clear R32 indicators for sale??

oh btw...Mon went nuts and took something like 200+ photos of the entire weekend.

When we get a chance to sift thru them and pick out the good ones i'll post them up somewhere. She's like a frikkin Jap tourist with a camera.

Bloody asians...

PS - JamesK - this ones for you buddy!

i loved whilst cruising when you heard the call on the cb saying its 'clear' to overtake all our indicators turn on at once.

that dip was shocking, i saw you attempt to swerve it by the time i realised what you were doing my head hit my roof LOL

If there was a bright red R33 followed by 8 other Skylines, that would have been us; between Colac and Geelong.

By the time i saw you and realised it was another 33, i was almost too late to wave hi.

Weren't you supposed to meet up with us in Point campbell?

yeah i was, ended up heading down to melb to pick up some side skirts on one of my rare days off work :wacko: . next time round il be all kitted up tho ;) and yeah thats where it was. the whole day sorta melded into one blur of driving (8hours up and back of straight driving does that, not spirited enough :) ) what was the weather like in port campbell anyways? it seemed fair dodgy...

when we drove from AP to PC it was raining... but that made for good fun anyway...

from there to home the roads had dried off ;)

he made a circuitboard and installed an illminated Skyline garnish on the bootlid of his car - except he stuffed something up and instead of all the letters changing colours at the same time they would start going beserk after a few seconds, leaving a nice Gay Pride advertisment on the rear of his car lol....

ahh...you had to be there to see it it was quite funny

dude... i'm still pissing myself every time i think about it.... when it was dark and we all went and checked it out i nearly cried.....

aah... teh lulz

Great cruise guys, I had a ball. Day 2 was definitely worth it, although I reckon the small group we had was almost perfect, particularly for the drive.

Al - Thanks for taking the reins and keeping everything organised.

James - I wanna see vids of my flamage from the bonnet cam :wacko:

Hamish - Good job looking after the guys without CB's, that 4wd must have been so pist.

Nam - You're crazy man

RTHRT3 & Babia - Nice to meet you guys.

Nice to meet heaps more guys from the club... I'll definitely be back next year.

I'll post up some pics from the SLR today.

Thanks Al for the organisation, was a great day, great drive up and great drive back,

Though i did see some very stupid things on the way up there, just shows how much the club has changed since 6 or 7 years ago when we actually did cruise the GOR and not see who was the first one to Apollo Bay?????

Thats enough of my RANT, thanks again guys, awsome day

Hey Mizzi, we also had some fun with that bus...lol....was quite funny though it wasnt the same bus that was at the servo.:wacko: cause that would have been more exciting

Thanks for the comments mate, yeah they are the standard wheels powder coated black!

FYI, I was first to Apollo Bay and if I drove any slower, the Chrysler Voyager behind me would have been getting impatient with me.

oh btw...Mon went nuts and took something like 200+ photos of the entire weekend.

    • 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!
