Just got home... so goodness knows what time the others will get home if they were still talking hahha.

Thanks to everyone that came along, i think at a rough guess it was 35-40 cars @ one point or another... Great effort.

Bit of a mission, obviously the cruise notes were slightly out of date, but they are 5 years old so my apologies for the 1st sections confusion :yes:

Overall a GREAT night. Been a bl00dy long time since I've done a great drive like that, i am utterly stuffed now, 8pm-1:30am, solid effort.

If you didn't come along - you really missed out!

Great to see many new faces as well - see you at the next event :blush:

It was AWESOME!! It was my first offical cruise in my new R34 and it was great to meet a few people on here in person :blush:

And thanks to all those people who helped organising it, the twists and turns was awesome fun, can't wait til the next one!! :yes:

By the way, what happened at the end? Did everyone ended up going to Kmart? lol

just got home, Was a good night, thanks to those who made it happen. Ash, if you want to PM me the map I will update it to get rid of the no right turn if you CBF :blush:

Everyone was well behaved which was good, but prob best to blur pix when posting photos anyway, hear horror stories of people getting letters for noise EPA's in the mail n shit on near stock cars.

Night all!

Awesome night!

Thanks Ash for running the night and to all others involved (Sorry Wayne couldn't make it)

Good to catch up with a few friends and a few new people. Great way to unwind after a shitty day working at my house.

Just a note to a VERY FEW new people, as they left the carpark (Ash feel free to edit or delete if i'm out of line)

Nothing our members hate more than dip-shits trying to do burn-outs as they leave the meet. If only you could hear our comments as a few of you left the carpark, i'm sure you would not do it again. If you want to be a "hero", do it away from club members and not at club meets. If we have unwanted attention because of your bullshit, i'll be all to happy to pass on your number plate details to the cops.

great night and good job to organisers. twisties still fun evenn though not many.. al was probably wanting to go past me that bad i could hear the spool right next to me throughout them =]

At least he didn't start to high beam you hahaha

Just joking Al, all good fun :blush:

Just got home, nice night for a cruise. Thanks to organisers, I have never been so lost on a cruise with instructions in my life LOL

Thanks to the guys in AHH33 for leading way to the meet point after a slight detour....missed out on the twisties FAIL. hahaha

Thanks Ash and the others who helped in organising this cruise.. Was my 1st members cruise that iv been for and it was simply amazing.. Hoping to make it for all the other member cruises ...

And Yarra Blvd is still fun :blush:

Were some of you parked at BP service station in St.Kilda Marina for a while?

I saw about 5 skylines and 2 180sx's, i followed them all the way down fiztroy street but then turned off...

I was in the STAGEA!!! haha

    • Please use a modern ECU. PowerFC with the Nintendo Gameboy controller is horrible. It's not 2005 anymore.
    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
