Awesome cruise, the 1st Member Cruise i've done with SAU

Good to put some faces to the user names

It was also good to see the little SR20, could keep up with the RBs

The speed was a bit too much for my side underbody cover :), but the rear pods survived the trip

Thanks to Wayne for organising an awesome cruise and for stoping the cruise, so i can fix up the underbody cover that came loose :)

I wanted to ask, what difference does the Cams permit do when organising a cruise?

What a great day... :)

Let me start by thanking Leon (achoo) for driving lead all day.. Good job mate. :)

And AJ ( CAJFLY ) for putting together the pre east meet.. Thanks mate... :)

Just to let the people know what the day was like . Here is a short run down.

We had 18 cars kick off the morning and we headed up through King Lake through some very

nice twisty roads stopping off at Broadford for some lunch on our way to Hanging Rock. At Hanging Rock

we all climbed to the top just to say we had done it. People will say why did ya climb it ? Because it was here.

Leaving Hanging Rock we went up through Mt Macedon( the township ) on our way home stopping of at the BP at calder park to wrap the day up.

Let me finish of by thanking all that came .And im buzzed you all enjoyed it.

I hope to see you all and some new faces at the next Members cruise...Stay tuned....

Cheers

Wayne

Glad everyone had fun. I am a little pissed that my line is running a bit hot so I couldn't make it.

Yeah, it got a bit like that. My traction control got a workout in the wet bits :devil:

You need to turn that TCS rubbish off! ;)

Even better get one of the TCS bypass boxes. Nothing worse than your motor dropping 3 cylinders for nothing! :D

'sall good. At some points it was annoying but reminded me that boost + hairpin uphill in the wet + skinny tyres isn't the greatest combination.

while only a passenger ( in the 180sx typeX) it was a good cruise, an enjoyable day and always good to meet a few new people.

however, cant be a cruise without something eventful happening and I was surprised that the rear part of the wing on the silver R34 GTR actually came off. Along with the long trip and wind, we caused a little pit stop to remove apart of the under tray i think. not sure, i wasn't the one cutting it off :thumbsup:

to all the people that had trouble climbing the hill, jezz, what do you guys do all day? Some people need to go for a run once in a while haha.

ill post up some pictures later and i cant wait for the next cruise. give it 6months and ill have a car to drive, not think my parents VN cuts it :)

    • Yeah i get what you mean. Mine thought i wouldnt mind being a bit quieter overall as well as have the drone taken out is more what i was trying to say. Im going to start with a mid muffler, and go from there 
    • I'm struggling with a similar issue on an RB26. Make sure you know whether it's volume or resonance. Mine seemed louder when cruising compared to at idle. I downloaded a decibel meter for my phone. Take my less than scientific results with a couple grains of salt, but the decibels were the same at idle and at cruise. Mine seems to be a resonance problem. At 2500-3500 rpm, the sound is different and "louder" to my ear. I think it's vibration from the pipe, the car body, the floor or something creating tone. Anyway, consider that it may not be strictly a volume problem.
    • Does this count as a time trial as well? I got all gold in the master super licence (1 lap time trial) and received a McLaren MP4/4 for my trouble.  If anyone else has done this, did you ride the wall right around the first long right hander at Lake Louise snow track to get gold? I couldn't do it any other way... best I could do without riding the was was within 2 tenths of the gold time.
    • I definitely get the low power, sporty car to drive to smash gears but not be doing eleventy million miles an hour! It makes all the normal drives fun!   Rev match tune sounds like the funs! I didn't know the NC had a DBW throttle!   As for me, still have the Skyline, it still has the Barra in it. It's been pushed to the side of the workshop at the moment. Pretty much waiting on me finishing the wiring, and dropping new fuel lines in. Got myself an ACDC Tig end of last year so been teaching myself TIG welding to build a few things for the Skyline. The missus wrote off her GTB liberty at the end of last year, and got it back on salvage rights stupid cheap. It's also still registered, so will mean easier for me to take to the track already done most of the panel damage, just playing "clear the workshop" to make space to pull the motor and box out, fix some oil leaks, replace the clutch, and replace a few minor broken things.  Also got a Lathe at the start of the year, which is adding to the annoyance of no space, which is another reason I'm trying to build things to get more space, to get the Lathe back in a final home for it. It's a BIG lathe, can turn a 355mm diameter, and 1metre between centres... Got it at a steal! So between it and the TIG and old MIG welder, I'll be fabbing some fun little shit up But we've had a lot of shit stuff happening at home, so it's slow going getting things done. But one step at a time!
    • I love Catalunya.  Got a 1:54.632. The AMG is a hoot.
