Well the major meeting point for the last cruise was pretty central to most people as it was at the start of the Princes Fwy to Geelong.

Pt Cook Rd exit , in the Shell/Subway carpark. Big car park that easily accomodated the number of cars that attented the last meet.

Minor/sub meeting spots can be arranged in the eastern, western, northern, southern and Geelong suburbs by those people that live in the area.

All we really need now is a time to meet at Shell/Subway carpark and the rest can be calculated from there

Me and Ash are right now finalising this (with the approval of ECR33). Including pre-meet area's and a final meet-up in Geelong for those of you poor bastards that live down there (I can say this as I went to Uni at Deakin so lived there for 3 years! :D )

My suggestions for the final meetup would be either the Waurn Ponds pub or the Uni front carpark - cause there is no chance of splitting up due to lights etc through Geelong from these places. And its a better way to the GOR from there than through Torquay which can be a pain in the ass.

Final and complete details will be posted in a new thread within the next few days.

Dear Mr Snowman,

I really dont mind how we get to the GOR and i greatly appriciate the time you and other members are putting into this cruise. hopefully it all pays off with great weather and a great turn out. i ask one thing though, snowman you probably know where eastern beach is and i feel that this would probably be the best spot to meet all the melbourne ppl and geelong ppl it would be one hell of a photo too, having all these magical cars angle parked along there would be a sight for sore eyes, but its up to you.

To the rest of the members cosidering this cruise, i hear alot of ppl saying they are concerned about the POLICE! well dont be as long as you dont do nothing stupid they should leave us alone. i can nearly gurantee they are reading through this forum all the time, so they will know all about it but dont let them feel as we are scared of them by saying (and i DONT quote) "if theres to many cars there might be trouble" or "the GOR is no good there be to many police" this is crap i say bringem on they might pull everyone of us up but imagine how much time they will be wasting half of em dont even know wat a turbo is and the majority of our cars will be pretty legal! If your scared of getting attention from the police then dont drive ever cause there always hidding in there little rat holes waitting for us!

ECR 33:

Don't mean to sound like a prick but please edit that last post, we don't like to verbally trash the police, especially when they have been EXTREMELY REASONABLE with our club.

Everyone else:

The police will be reading this thread and they will be present and probably undercover, as they have been in the last GOR.

But they have been VERY reasonable with us, and left most of our members alone as we generally respect the laws and other road users, hence our reputation. Only two cars got pulled over last cruise, one was speeding and overtaking several cars at once on the Princess Fwy, the other was listed as being unregistered (due to an unfortunate mistake by the EPA).

THAT'S 2 OUT OF 35+ CARS THAT ATTENDED :cheers:.

The cruise was great, the company even better.

guys im sure the cops dont have a problem with us goin for a quiet cruise down the GOR - if they think we r gonna do something id even give one a lift. but we dont need to do that. they will more likely be looking out for MCCR if they will be going.

im still up for the 2 dayer thing as im in no rush to get home - also has sau-vic had a camp out yet? might be time for the first one coinciding with maybe the start of sau-vic

it shouldnt be too cold either hopefully

I've just about done a post...

and it'll be up later today.

ECR 33, we have met at that place one before, but we had a lot of trouble keeping everyone together.

Interloper will remember (he is geelong) it was just a bit difficult keeping a lot of cars together, remember, not everyone knows where/how they are going to get there.

Creating a map for this type of cruise is just about impossible given so many roads.

So that's where the pub comes into it.

I hope that it doesnt p(ss anyone off or anything like that, that's the last thing i am out to do. I've spent a bit of time on all of this (as have others) and i've tried to keep everyone happy.

Meaning easy locatable meet points etc, based on past expiriances that i've had with organising SAU cruises.

And on the coppers, i will say it once again.

SAU-Vic has never had problems with the police. They are more than reasonable to us and we intend to keep the relationship that way.

Anyone acting stupid will be asked to leave.

If a problem arises. Just let me know and i'll sort it out.

watch the events. cruise post will be later today.

please lock this thread

ECR33 and ash,

The last GOR cruise was well organised and the meeting point at Bunnings was probably the most centeral point to meet up so that we could meet as a whole... A photo session at the lookout at eastern beach is a must. ecr33, input to the geelong liners thread would be valued, sorry to hijack, just my 2 cents worth.

Cheers,

Kris

Can someone please make this cruise official. I've now past the point where I needed to get the day off work. All this talk and no action might mean that I can't come along. I'm sure that there are others checking this post daily for something solid. Lets make it happen!

Thats right. If its Saturday the 28th now, then I probably wont be able to go.

hey guys........would you mind if i private messenger some of the serious drivers on nissansilvia.com? they hjave driven the GOR 2-3 times already and if i get a few of the core boys/gals is it cool with u guys/gals? i havent said nething to em yet tho......and i would be riding with one of em

Nice how things always seem to be 'chinese whispered' down.

Teeznu, Mccr has no official cruise to GOR planned for late feb, infact it is CRX australia which are having their annual GOR cruise which they have planned for some months (are getting interstate cars to come down etc).

I think ppl still dont get that just because a cruise is organised under unoficials in mccr, doesnt mean that they will attract a bajillion muzzas in Commodores. Dont be scared heehee its ok!

Keep the piece guys. Cyas.

unfortunately actions and previous experience has taught us otherwise... a shame for those who are in that club who arent wankers... of which ive met very few... because MCCR carries a reputation in which none of us find appealing.

Al: I refuse to edit my last post! im sure that the police have been very resonable with the past cruises that have been organized, i was not verbaly trashing the police but giving confidence to those who feel they do not want to attend this cruise in concern to being canaryed or fined, I quote "as long as you dont do nothing stupid they should leave us alone" is what i did say in my last post. some times they can be very resonable but also some times they can just be silly. ok. hopefully no hard feelings but this was just my opinion!

180sx_luva im sure if you wanted to ask some of your nissan friends to come no one shall have a problem as long as they dont be silly and have some nice cars, we did discuss at the beginning of this forum that it is not only about skylines but nice cars in genral.

To all other members, IT IS OFFICIAL THAT THIS CRUISE WILL BE HELD ON SATURDAY THE 28TH OF FEBUARY 2004, and hopefully weather is great and we get a great turn out. there is only 2 weeks to go so maps and stuff are being finalized by Ash and the Snowman as we post so much appreciation to them.

there is definatly one 170rwkw s15(with me as passenger) going and a few other that have driventhe road before and are responsible have been PM'd........can some one please tell me the meet location and time....... my msn is: [email protected]

    • jeebus. glad you weren't under it while performing the stunt. Also thanks for the link to the wheel measurer, exactly what I needed
    • In the older stuff there were very significant differences 2wd to 4wd, for example Stagea had strut front end for 2wd and double wishbone for 4wd so it was not minor to swap. From poking around the 2wd v37, it *looks* like it might be more possible; some of the parts specifically have "2wd" stamped on them which suggests the platforms are more similar. You'd still want to start with a 4wd half cut to swap stuff from though. I'd suggest if you don't have a tune on the ECU you don't really need one on the trans either. Throttle mapping is in the ECU side (and you can always use a Roar Pedal if you want the throttle to actually respond to your foot), and really if you are happy with the stock power you probably accept the stock trans behaviour too....its all made to be "sporty" not racey.
    • So, updates. I have not washed the car since it came back from Tassie. I've driven it around a bit but not got around to actually sorting it out. I DID raise it because I cracked the rear bar leaving a hotel which was very distressing. Interestingly, the car drives more compliant now that it's raised a fair bit (5mm front, 15mm rear). Also noticed that my FR height was 10mm lower than FL. So that's now sorted out, too. I also bought this and had it printed: https://www.etsy.com/au/listing/1576422240/wheel-and-tire-fitment-tool-universal?ref=shop_home_feat_1&dd=1&logging_key=08f604d9fa4cc383550ba985e6ac85cd5cac7fbb%3A1576422240 Now, if I was smart I would have taken my brake calipers off to actually use this correctly but it was evident enough to me that in the region where the caliper was... there was nothing to hit suspension/guard/arm wise. So I'm going with "it'll be fine" after using the tool to hopefully very precisely measure the wheel clearance. Also while doing this, I had the very VERY bad idea of jacking one of the wheels/suspension arms up while the rest of the car was on jack stands. I did this to see how the arm would travel. This all was well and good until the car slid off the stands and went through a fence. So don't do that. Incredibly nobody was hurt and there was only minor damage to the rear bumper as the car didn't have far to slide, and had 3-4 wheels on it. The only damage turned out to be the fence itself which was easy to fix, and a little bit of damage to the fibreglass rear bumper trim. I had already planned to try a touch up paint kit to fix the time I drove into my garage door to see if it'd help in the interim before I get it fixed properly. I used the Dr Colorchip kit after looking online and seeing everyone talking about it. Yes it's made for chips and not huge broken missing pieces and I'll be 500% recommending it for stone chips after using it for stupid things like me. This took about ... 10 minutes and looking at the half assed photo the 30 second job I did on the bumper corner was almost perfect just by using the tiny little brush and painting it in. The sealact stuff to remove over-painting is really useful, so if/when I do it again I'll likely slather the touch up paint well over it and then clean it up with the cleaning solution. The wheels should arrive in a couple of weeks. I am still kinda confident after doing a stupid amount of measuring (and borrowing a set of 18x10.5+15) that they will not fit because I overlooked something, somehow and flew too close to the sun. ALSO R34 GTR guard liners do not fit on a GTT. I bought the undertray brake duct guides and had the wonderful problem of them not fitting my intake, my oil cooler and the liners themselves were even worse. Attempting to fit them won't work in general - You would have to cut them up as another poster mentioned as the bodywork is different on the GTT. At least I can try to resell them. So instead of cutting those up, I cut up my old already-cut-up GTT liners and extended them by using some PP plastic and drilling some 8mm holes for some nissan clips for the 'extra' bit. Because I was happy to cut them I was able to mount them pretty damn forward so I now have some semblance of guard liners, and the brake vents seal the bumper from the bottom. It sort-of-looks like this, to give some idea - If you look at the GTR and then the GTT this is when I realised that I needed to seriously measure as the inside of the rim area is entirely, entirely, entirely different and could not take any internet measurements for granted.   
    • If you are Ecutek tuned then these TCU tunes are anywhere from $550 to $700 usd. If you are not ECUTEK tuned, then it gets costly!    
    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
