In the tradition of all cruises.... please post wrap up stuff here.

Thanks very much Dan for going to the trouble of doing the cruise notes. A pity about the weather, but it gave us time to enjoy the scenery.

I felt really sorry for the guy in the S15 before we started the cruise. Didn't actually see it happen cuz I was looking the other way, but saw the aftermath :D

Guess that was a very sobering warning to us all to take it easy, which we surely did with the weather.

Other things of note on the cruise were:

- Muztek showing up to the meetpoint then pissing off :D

- that retarded woman in the compact SUV doing half the speed limit for 30 mins while gawking at trees

- that sneaky cop hidden away behind some bushes on a side street

- Hamish's front bar

- the massive fog

- The gold-award winning Pepper Steak Pies at Gaffney's bakery in Yea

- Perfect SAU hoodie weather

Was a modest group, but was kinda good in that way, as no-one got lost or left behind.

Sorry Dan, just realised it should probably be you starting this thread. :P

ARGH!!! It's all my dad's f**king fault I went to work, I blame the whole thing on him lol.

lol shut up..it was wet ok and didnt want to risk it :P

so was it raining up that way? coz wen i got home it was dry as and abit sunny so i started kickin myself i didnt come along lol

It rained a bit. Roads never really dried out. Then we hit fog on Mt Macedon. No-one was taking the corners at any decent speed cuz it was slippery.

I had fun today so did Peter.

Pity about the S15...

The weather is the usual Melbourne '4 seasons a day' the fog up in Mt Macedon is unbelievable!

I may have broken something on my GTR - I'm beginning to think cruises isn't for me!

And many thanks to Dan for organising today cruise and route map.

Cheers

Was a good cruise although the weather was a bit crappy for most of it but we did have some good reasonably dry parts. Some of those roads are car breaking suspension flexing HELL!!!! My ass is killing me from some of them! The pies in Yea might have been award winning but the fricken donuts from that food shop were teh aidz!! I felt like i'd just sucked down a doughy sponge full of oil and coated in sugar mmmm yummy :D

I have 3.1GB of windscreen mounted video from Maccas to the Mountain if anyone wants, it's not the greatest quality (640x480) and it has no audio but it's good to see it from another perspective I suppose.

The Fog at the mountain was real bad, could barely see the car 10m in front of you, not even the lights.

I left you guys on the way back (took the Gisborne exit to Melton) so only waved to couple of you but I had a great time.

PS - bugger bout the silvia too, I only saw him turn the corner and then saw the pole shake but yeah, the thing was farked! I loved those rims too!

PPS - Well done Dan, great cruise and great notes. Thanks for putting the effort in.

haha yeah, i broke it last night and work up early to reattach it, and when we pulled into yea, the other side broke... cable ties FTW

ah well that's what you get for hangin low :D

was a great cruise despite the weather! many thanx to dan (halle) for his efforts on this one! bang up job!

was a great bunch of people and cars, and an eventful day!

everything went off without a hitch (well for us anyway)

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
