DATE: Sunday 21st November 2010

TIME: 12.00pm for a 12.30pm leave

MEET: Lake Monger reserve Car Park off Powis Street - Dogs must be on a leash at this venue.

This cruise involves bringing mans best friend out for an afternoon of fun. I dont care what car you bring, this is about the dogs. We will be stopping at a park and dog beach.

This is an afternoon cruise, Grab lunch before leaving or on your way to the meet point, there are no planned lunch breaks during the cruise.

You will need.... Dog, collar and lead, bowl and some water for the dog, maybe some treats if you want to spoil him/her. Towels, for dog and for the car seat, car seat cover if you require one, maybe a ball or toy.

Water/drinks and munchies for yourself.

bathers/towel/change of clothes, etc if you want to swim with your doggy.

DOGGY CONTESTS At the park, we will run a few competitions, such as, best educated dog, Best Agility dog, cutest dog, best dog trick etc. I will supply some prizes, nothing fancy though, this is just for fun and Im not rich. lol

Dogs must be under effective control by their owner when in public places.

Your dog is not considered under control if they:

chase or disturb wildlife, other dogs or people

act in a threatening or aggressive manner

attack or injure another animal or person

is a considerable distance from their owner(s) preventing response to verbal commands

Please remember your dogs mess is your responsibility.

Dont have a dog but still want to come and socialise, then by all means do come. You can help judge our doggy contests if you dont have a dog of your own on the day. The beach we will be going to is also a nice one and you are welcome to hit the waves if you wish to.

This cruise is organised by West Coast Cruisers. All road rules are to be obeyed.

Hi Marianne,

We have a shih-tzu/maltese dog that we would have love to bring along if the date didn't coincide with 350Z/V35 cruise on that same day.

If there's any one in the future, please let it known and we will definitely try to come.

(By the way, you live in Kenwick WA? I work at Kenwick area too, and might have seen you car before.)

no worries, Im sure we will do something like this again. Gotta spoil mans best friend right?

I guess its possible you might have seen my car its a silver R32 4 door, Looks stock, limo tint with gunmetal standard rims, nothing special really. Has a big pink west coast cruisers sticker on the back window so that makes it a little more recognisable.

My Hubby has just started using it as his daily so it will be on the streets a bit more now.

For anyone else who is coming we will see you & your best buds (dogs that is) on Sunday.

Hi Marianne. How did the WCC doggy day cruise go?

Yeah, it could be your car that I see sometimes around Kenwick area but didn't actually see the WCC sticker though. I am friends with a few WCC people (Rhys, Lachlan & Jess).

Anyhow, please post up if another doggy day cruise happen and we will try our best to come. :)

Sorry for the late reply, dont get on here all that often. The doggy day cruise went well. There was only a small turn out which I had a feeling it would be. so we decided to skip the cruise and go straight up the coast to the beach. The drive was still nice doing the coastal run.

The dogs all had a great time at the beach, funnily enough none of them were fussed on the water but just loved playing on the beach and seeing/meeting some other dogs that were there.

My 16month old son LOVED the beach, it was his first time at a beach, he is a real water baby, he just wanted to run off right into the deep if I had allowed it, I ended up having to use the lead rope to tie around his weist so he couldnt run off or go too deep and get carried away. The biggest sandpit he has ever seen was also a delight. I think it is possible he had more fun than the dogs did.

The prizes I brought ended up being enough for each dog to take one as a treat, so all in all the dogs got very spoilt.

Will try to run another one before summer is over, so keep an eye on here or WCC. :)

    • Cheers. Skyline is back on the menu, can’t get rid of it. It’s like a child you don’t want, or herpes 
    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
