I can't wait to see the footage as the camera fell away.... I did a massive evade manouvre as I didn't want to run over it!! In hindsight I think the damage was done when it hit the ground but in my mind it went like this "damn camera fell off, must not drive over and break it " ... lol

Too bad it wasn't a wireless camera or I might have had footage of your underbelly... er.. we'll not meaning to be rude or anything.

I went back on the putty and kind of slowed down around the area it might have fallen off but no joy. I'm glad it was just a cheap reversing camera CCD and $5 mount. No bit loss for some great footage.

I've got about 30 gigs of video from the day ;) Started editing it yesterday afternoon but there is so much there to get through. Should have something to show by the end of the week.

stay tuned...

How much did the Cam cost Eric?

Would it be OK with you to run the charity cruise for "Pezhead" and then we can donate some...

PEZ Candy Dispensers for your collection??????

Any chance for another cruise...

Gold coin donation???

hey all.... second year in a row my car has been out of operation for the putty cruise.... maybe next year ;)

great day.. lots of fun.. great to hear the 3 gens of RB's in full song... funny how they all sound soo different.. great to see that everyone can have fun and drive with spirit but not have to do anything stupid or ridiculous.. thats the way it should be.

btw... who was the poor sap with the really low white r32 gtr that wet itself at the singleton end?? hope everythings ok with it..

i forgot to charge my camera up so no shots from me unfortunately..

cheers

It was a great day. The drive was way to long though, my bad killed halfway so i just turned back. The black r32 gtr with the orange wheels was just sex on wheels!!!

by the way, halfway back down putty road i noticed a a black gtr was pulled over and changing his tyre(i think) what happened?

Erm yeah that was me removing the plastic wheel arch shroud that decided to come loose. Was actually the reason why I turned around earlier. The cammo skyline had to do the same thing at the halfway house. I had some strange counrty folk stop and watch me, at first I was scared - thought they might eat me and my friend but turns out they were cool and were just offering some help.

Was an ebay special less than $25 so no big problem.

Actually I'm thinking we may need a cruise/sausage sizzle/picnic at a park location. Nice that we all drive somewhere but would be nice to have a bit of social time somewhere we can lounge around. May try to organize it but pretty busy time between now and end of the year.

That sounds awesome :)

Always fun to meet new people

Wow looks really fun... I am very dissappointed i sold my Line now im missing the fun stuff... btw terry can you send me an sms i lost all my contacts in my phone and I know you still have my number.... thanks

I'm pretty pleased that the Event wasn't to-day!

The Putty Road is currently closed due to a fatality > RIP

It's happened at the southern end. Wet... wet... wet... Oil residue would be sitting on top of the water too with this downpour.

I only saw good responsible driving on Saturday BTW = good stuff.

Hi,

I posted this up earlier this morning (at the bottom of the page tho') ^^^

Yeah Pezhead, I was thinking of helping another SAU member run a cruise next year that would interest you...

"The 15th Anniversary of the R33 GT-R" > a park location just you had hoped for via Mac Pass.

Yes Rafael, I'll sms you my number in a sec.

And thanks for the vid Aggroman > I must say you took the straightest line through those curves!

Cheers guys,

whos car had sticker on front bar "barbie is a s%$t"hehehe

Yup that would be me :)

hehe at underbelly... would of been an interesting angle passing under my car!!

I thought it would be pretty much cactus, it fell off mid corner so it probably went off the side of the road :D

MBS206 ^^...Did you mean AN-80-WL?..If so that would be me.

You were behind me in the jazz..i couldnt believe how that kept pretty close to us all. :ninja:

Ahh yes yes, sorry...

As to keeping up... Until the halfway house I only downshifted out of 5th gear about 5 times... LOL Through those bends that were nice and tight, she just grips grips grips! Good little chucker of a car, and pretty darn predictable!

But thought i'd let you know, on those hard left hand turns, you were dropping what looked like water out the back drivers side (Behind the wheel) could be water in your inner guard from the boot area breathing out even.

man i swear their wuz dis blu r34 gtr it has big rims and it was dumped on its ass n d guy drivin it was on steriodz and his gf was hot ....i swear bro dat wuz 1 of da best skylinez i have ever seen in my life...whos wuz it here is a pic of it

That blue beauty looks like the one formerly owned by Garry from Top Secret imports.

Of course the livery's been removed but the wheels look the same - and it's lower.

And back on thread, I was flabbergasted to not just see the folks coming up from the Gong, and Nowra too - but the couple from Wagga Wagga??? WOW! Fantastic!

This is pretty much what the Show N Shine will be :banana: Don't bother organising anything else, just come to that!

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
