The race is on to have my car fixed and the interior finished before the meet... I WILL have my car there either way, I'm just hoping it's pretty much finished (roof rails won't be ready, but meh....)...

I here ya.

Got a few things planned for mine when I get back. Hoping most of it can get done in the two weeks I'm home before the meet.

Radiator is fitted, but coolers are not. Either is Thermo fan: had to drive the car for 20 mins to the trimmers yeaterday with no thermos.... surprisingly, even in road works, temp only reached 91deg... Happy with that! Should be trimmed in 2 weeks, then back to the mech for a bit more work: My car will be on the cruise, finished or not.... :)

Ok guys: 2 weeks to go...

I need confirmed numbers of attendees, so we can get the food organised. Remember: $5 each for the Bbq, payable on the day.

So, all attendees please send me a pm confirming how many people you are bringing...

Once again, my mobile# is 0413003013 if you need it (lost/running late etc)

Muchos Gracias,

Micah aka Mickey - rb26stagea

Hi Guys,

I'll be coming along with my girlfriend at this stage, planning on starting from the Brisbane-Springwood location. I've got a S1 260RS with a few light mods, looking forward to meeting a few new faces and looking at what work you've been doing with your cars.

Cheers,

Adam

Excellent! Another '26 powered car :)

Damn battery guy left the old battery behind the drivers seat, and it subsequently melted a dirty great hole in the carpet! He also managed to dent my freshly resprayed front guard with a shifter. Awesome. NOT. :(

All that aside, I'm still on track to have the car mostly ready for the cruise...

That would send me into a fit if that was my car. Hopefully the guy has insurance and you wont be out of pocket getting it all fixed. Good luck with all your repairs.

Meh: you get used to all the cock-ups after a while: it's one of the many (dis)pleasures of car modification, and if that's the worst thing that goes wrong, then I'm a happy camper: I still need the thermos hooked up, the coolers and guages connected, etc etc etc....

Unless something disastrous happens, We'll be there.

Ipswich guys we should arrange a time to gather and then head south. It'll be early, so early to bed the night before :P

Hi

One Ipswich stagea owner to another you name the place and we will be there with bells on. My daughter’s partner will be coming with us in his 200sx.

Cheers

Phil

Cool, guys: keep the confirmations coming via pm: All pray to the rain Gods for good weather!! We're covered either way, but it's way more pleasant in the dry... I'll be doing another recce run next week to make absolutely sure that the roads are good...

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
