Great day!! The drive down was better then I expected, I was thinking with that many people that it was going to be a crawling pace down to the coast.We ended up going home (launceston) via derby and Scottsdale, had fish and chips at St Helens, perfect day for a cruise!!!

Well I don't think we could have asked for a better day for a cruise, amazing weather, amazing people and I got to be on TV! haha.

Today we collected a Total of $2230.50! Woot!

Thanks for all the donations guys! Will be handing it to rotary on Thursday!

hey man, PM details on how to make an 'after event' donation

Yesterday started out pretty stressfully, had my car in getting one of the wheels re-rolled since Tuesday and had checked on it the 3 days prior to the cruise, being told it would be ready the next day each time. Turned up on Saturday and it had probably been completed but left in the workshop, so ended up running around franticly to get a set of wheels from home and turning up late with near zero grip tyres on 300zx wheels on the front of my car and sticky new tyres on the back :P (only the smaller front wheels could pass as possibly being legal, otherwise I would have opted for less rear grip).

After that start I still had an epic day, beautiful weather and some awesome cars. Was surprised to only really be slowed down too much by a single tourist campervan that refused to pull over on the twisties, other than that it was clean sailing. Saw an old corona had been pulled by the cops, but everyone seemed to pretty much behave themselves (even had people just cruising with a few p platers at 80 for a while on the way back down the coast road to Hobart). I was able to stalkishly put a few faces to names from the cars people were driving too which was nice, though I've forgotten already...

What happened to the guy on the bike? I didn't hear anything about it?

Tarrant Hayes, the guy who had the bike accident, is safe in hospital and had some ops last night . Luckily, he has only come out of the crash with a broken femur. If anyone has any of his things, could you send him a message on Facebook. We wish him all the best for a quick recovery!

    • Yep I guessed as much. You'll find life much easier with a large block something like this -  https://wholesalepaint.com.au/products/dura-block-long-hook-loop-sanding-block-100-eva-rubber-af4437 This is a good demo video of something like this in use -    You have turned your small rock chip holes into large low spots. You'll need to fill and block these low spots.  It's always a little hard not seeing it in person, but yes I would go ahead and lay filler over the whole area. Have a good look at the video I linked, it's a very good example of all the things you're doing. They went to bare metal, they are using guide coat, they are doing a skim coat with the filler and blocking it back. If what you're doing doesn't look like what they are doing, that's a big hint for you  
    • The odometer does go up when driving.  Does this tell it is an issue with the speedometer itself?    Where can I look for replacement cluster? Or speedo? I can likely do the repair.. Will ER34 cluster work on HR34? Or do I need a HR34 20GT S2 specifically lol   
    • Mine's a bit bigger at 70x150mm roughly. The spots are flat, just can feel the edges if I dig my nail into it. I did fix some other other ones by both using my finger to sand that small spot (I'm a bit wary of doing this and creating hot spots and a bigger mess) and I also did sand over it flat and others, but this also worried me a bit because if I create an overall low spot on the panel on paint that is good.  Correct me if I'm wrong but as long as it's flat even if I can feel the edges, I can put filler because it will all be level once I sand it? I can see myself going in a circle after sanding guidecoat with 320 grit if for example the panel is flat with my hand but because I sanded the guidecoat I could have created a low spot again somewhere. Unless where I'm going wrong is what I mentioned previously where I didn't go low enough on the grits. It's 1 step forward and 2 step backwards here haha. I'll probably need to experiment with it more. Last time I go back to bare metal lol.
    • Thanks for the details mate , for me I think being a daily driven and happy with a basic tune (630Nm and 310kw) . Seems to be working well I just put on a set of Michelin Pilot Sport 4 should help put the power down. I'm going to start looking a brakes and LSD in the future so I might reach out to you on options to upgrade the brakes. Cheers - Dee   
    • I have a HR34 GT... RB20DE My speedo doesn't work! The rest of the gauges seem to work, fuel and RPM. I did not notice if my odometer was going up when driving last.  Any ideas? Speed sensor? Hopefully atleast... Gauge cluster perhaps? Or is that unlikely because the other gauges are working?   Any insight is appreciated. This is a rather new to me car. Lol
