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

BLAKE AuST

    • 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.
