well, had a ball as usual... (as did merowyn, as the Saturday night peeps can attest to lol)

drive up was pretty rude... i still cant believe that people can see a convoy of 50 skylines riding up their ass and refuse to pull over (although i have that same revelation after every cruise) probably got about 5 minutes total of decent driving on the GOR... :(

Saturday night was a pretty tame one for most due to people not wanting to be over the limit the next morning, but a great night nevertheless :bunny:

thanx again ash for the bbq'ing and getting meat-grease all over my lights, stereo, car :D

thanx also for shane bringing a real stereo to the party! my 6x9's with no amp dont really cut it

huge thanx to wayno for all his efforts organising and running the day! top job as usual mate!!!

day 2 was good fun, with a bit of driving and the usual shenanigans...

all in all a great cruise! cant wait for next year!

i have a few more cruises planned for this year now.... including 1 more huge overnighter @ 1500m elevation with the longest hillclimb you are likely to see! ... just gotta sort out the dates...

now if you do the right thing and attend every DECA, that's 6 SAU overnight drinking sessions err... i mean "sober meets" a year people!!!! :(

Bring it on! :)

Vegetarian sausage is all I will add.

never have i seen a man WITH a girlfriend ask soooo many dudes to lick his saussage! :bunny:

Haha you can see my face in the rear vision mirror of one of those pics. Kind of freaky looking.

that shit scares me in real life... i'm too scared to look at the pic :(

Also, We've mentioned this before, but get a decent CB ppl! I think JamesK and I are the only ones with decent 5watt ones with a proper 20 cm antenna. He recommended it to me, and was only $80 off eBay, and works a treat. I think they are called FD-460 or FDC-460. The crappy 0.5-1W ones that most people had with the 1 cm nub antennas couldn't transmit for shit. They are more for kids playing hide-n-seek, not 2km long convoys in mountainous radio-blocking areas. All we got was static on our end half the time.

a few of us had the 3watt one from the group buy which has a 12k transmission range... most of the problem is people talking at 100kph with the windows down..

the only time i was receiving broken transmissions (even from the tiny CB's) was after i left the cruise on day 2 and i was at least 5k away.

LOL Ye as soon as we went past the SS i saw him flip his banana and knew he would be in his car as fast as possible :D

i was like 5 cars behind you and when i flicked past he was ALREADY getting in his car eyeing me off :)

It was fken freezing and then suddenly 26 degrees in the middle of the night :(

man, that was some freaky shit! i was wearing a hoody and then all of a sudden it hits midnight and i'm taking it off! :D:(:P

Tourists should be banned from twisties such as GOR - if I have the power to run this country, first thing I'll do!

Hope my POS is sorted for this cruise.

Yes Merowyn's (finally remembered her name - somehow I forgot when I was writing my mishap thread, sorry!) 'performance' was pretty amusing LOL.

Only photo I have of this 'cruise' is my R on back of the Blue truck, as I don't have camera with me or Peter, will try to do my 'bit' for next cruise.

At least this thing have more torque than the white thing on the back.

Cheers

on my journey back to anglesea from apollo bay there were people brave enough to ride their bicycles along GOR, they were worse than the morons going 50km/h blocking everyone and ruining it for others.

I reckon next time if possible we leave alot earlier....ie be on GOR by 7.30 / 8am

charles your photos are not loading for me!? :P

do you have an album or link or something?

Since you live so close to me, if you want, I'll burn them all (hi-res) onto a CD for you and you can pick them up whenever you are around my area, how's that :)

I guess that applies for anyone else as well :sick:

A BIG THANKS to all who organised the weekend!

Had a great time meeting new people and Nadia had a heap of fun on saturday night :)

Hope all works out Grant, im the guy who bought the gear knob (GTRZLA).

Looks like DECA is a must from the stories told :D

See you all at the next one!!!

We continued on but got broken up into 2 groups, the main group got in front of the white daewoo and old man driving a new MX-5 (will be you in the future Hamish) I got stuck behind, with R34 GTR and the 33 with L plates up. It was HELL!!! the Daepoo was going 35km/h tops about 10 mins down the road they pulled over and I got a big surprise.... Ol Man driving the MX-5 with his white comb over flying straing up in the air and his girl next to him with the hat on FLOORED IT!! He was hammering we both got round and and stuck to him like glue but on some corners I was braking going into them and he was almost tail out driving straight through them! Gotta say, the dude could drive! we played cat and mouse (I was the cat) for about 4km i guess, before he pulled over and waved me past. We had already lost the 34 and the L plater got stuck behind the Daepoo I think (bummer)

haha yeah, stupid Daewoo, was stuck behind him for ages! it was bit hard to do what i liked with my dad sitting next to me. oh well, i still had a great day :D Thanks to Wayne for organizing everything :)

Thanks for organizing this event! Loved it, the best organised cruise i have been on :)

was fun chasing the stagea with a r34 chasing me through the twisties, of what we had, dam that deawoo, i couldn't even see it, but i felt its pain!!

Cheers all, was great :D

    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
    • Welcome mate. Any pics? Even with a DE I'd be well happy if I had that as a 1st car.
