No worries AL - ANYTIME. We had a great time with lots of laughs in the car so i'm glad you came along!

Yep definately a great day :D

GREAT DAY, that's all that can describe today, lost for words.

Big THANK-YOU! to Shivam (deorbit) for the ride.  Hopefully my car will be on the road for the next one.

Great photos guys!

It was a great cruise - thanks to everyone who attended :D

The comments posted in the first few posts are well received. I think Andrew and Ash did pretty darn well considering the number of cars - but we'll try to up the coordination level for next time :)

Thanks for all the feedback everyone. This is just the first of a number of large cruises for the year. We have some more planned to come after MAS including Hanging Rock, Walhalla, Warburton, and a multi day Alpine Rd cruise, plus another GOR cruise later in the year.

Finding the perfect meet points is pretty tuff given 50 cars but I dont think there are any better than the ones we chose - due to the proximity of the next stages of the cruise itself. But we will get a few more people involved in the organisation next time to ensure everyone knows where they are going. Some of the less popular roads that we will cruise on later in the year will have much better meet points as far as exiting goes just due to the amount of traffic on those roads. The more people that can get CB's the better too as they are a usefull cruise tool. Especially for calls such as "Someone get a photo of the dude on the motorbike!" :D

abcent - your wing is crazy! How many pedestrians have you decapitated? LOL

Terry - I dont know how it can be arranged but I want to see the video footage! :)

Keep the pics coming. Make all those lazy bastards that couldn't be bothered coming regret it!

Great cruise, great turnout, great bunch of guys. :headspin:

I took around 120 shots on film (obviously I'm the only one still using it?!), should have them up in a couple of days.

I saw so many digital cameras out there, some really nice equipment too, where are all the shots fellas?

My hat goes off to the organisers, great cruise guys :D

I have never been on a cruise with so many friendly and sensible people in my life.

All I have to say about the drive back is :wassup: :wassup: :wassup: that was so sweet. Only porblem was a merc lost its exhaust and muffler at 70k's in the middle of geelong... missed my car by a bees penis.

Andrew, I got lots of video for you guys, the mrs was hanging outside the car half the cruise home and managed to get a lot of footage... I think we managed to get all the cars on tape. Ive got the techos at work telling me what I need to do to get to you guys.

Thanks to Oak and his mate for the help in getting the silncer off... I still owe you a rag tho.

Hypnotik, I was the guy that pulled over to show you the trun off after ur u-turn, was driving behind ya most of the way... the mrs was impressed with your car, it can definetly move.

Was definately a great day, and a great introduction to cruising with the SAU crew! Looking forward to the next one!!

Got plenty of photos (150+), I'll just attach a main one for now... Don't want to use too much server space so I'll set up a website for them all later.

Only took about three panoramics myself, they do give a nice overview of the goings on though! I think my mate in the ZX took a few more, don't have a download of his photos to put up however.

I'll put them all up on a website tonight, after a bit of photoshopping and collating!

Oh, if anyone wants any originals - just pm/email. (Note - large files!)

And i found out that mine doesnt! :)

Thanks to the organisers for a great day.

Dont forget everyone... this is an OPEN VIEWABLE THREAD TO THE PUBLIC.

Your speed limiters are set to 100km/h and you didnt break any road laws.

Please edit postsetc.

This is a reflection... and some things are maybe better kept to ones self.

Remember, saying you did XXX is as good as an admission ;)

Anyhow.

Thanks for coming along guys.

Glad everyone enjoyed themselves. I had a ball, getting all the pics in my... 'interesting manner' :D

There will be more great cruises to come, so hopefully our numbers are just as good!

Thanks again for coming along.

Yeah, just on that - 50 cars - wow. Bigger than i thought.

And trying to get 50 cars into one group is always going to be extremely hard by all accounts.

All it takes it one set of lights... and even the 'reps' can get split from thier group.

But we'll try boost the clarity next time and make it as easy as possible for everyone.

For more 'suburban' cruises, there will be maps with more detail (as i made on the Doncaster cruise)

Reason for not doing one on the GOR... it's just one road really. And there was only 1-2 meet points.

No direction needed is how we took it :D

No matter, it's all constructive criticism that will make cruises better and better!

Also, CB's... Where were they all ?

I had one, and there were 4-5 others, i'm sure the bulk buy had like 20+

So remember the CB's. They come in handy that's for sure.

yer i had my limiter set to 90 for safety, dont want to go over the speed limit now, hit it a few times in the 100 zones and only over took when the lines were broken and when cars in front were doing at least 20ks less than me

      Stagea Front CV Axle Question

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      Man, different parts but the same numbers is terrible @dbm7! And it doesn't help that most online shops don't list the part numbers at all. They just give a list of compatible models...

      Slow when hot could also be because its getting more dynamic compression, OR things are getting a bit tighter once it is all expanded. If it were an earthing issue, typically I'd expect you to have it have issues all the time. Unless it's really a combination of both things. Where the higher compression, and things being a bit tighter, is giving that bit of extra load and you do need a slight clean up on the cables/connections.

      Stagea Front CV Axle Question

      By dbm7 · Posted

      Yeah, this is one of the most annoying things about nissan part numbers... I've got an unrelated example... Image is of the AT output shaft ~ they have the same part#, but clearly the shaft on the left is beefier design to that on the right ...the difference (essentially) is the 'lighter' shaft on the right, is for engines up to RB25DE (this includes RB20 variants) : the shaft on the left is for RB25/26DET(T)....are they interchangeable? Yes...but obviously one shaft is going to be stronger than the other...and, the lighter shaft is around USD115, but the heavier shaft closer to USD150...same part#... ...epc-data usually tells a tale ~ the amayama listing for 39100-23U60 has a note "Longest side is between 60 and 105 cm" ; no such info is there for 39100-23U70 ...and given the great disparity in price between the 2 parts, it makes me at least curious (to the point of caution) where the 'extra money' went? ...ie; these 2 parts have a cost difference that (to myself at least) isn't explained by 'plastic boot'...ie; with amayama there's AUD700 price difference ...plastic versus rubber?...I'm not seeing it like that...and 60cm ~ 105cm...??...that's a huge disparity....something hinky going on here... I'd try searching by VIN, not model... /2cents

      I don't know for sure, but I'd expect them all to be interchangeable given the diff end and hub end don't move/change between any C34 series. Often Nissan will change part numbers and the aftermarket follows those year ranges; but the original part number change doesn't mean other parts won't fit. The change could be a change in material, internal parts or even just supplier. For example, all the RB gearbox to engine bolts are no longer available and there is a new part number instead. The only change is they went from cadmium plated bolts to zinc plated due to the issues manufacturing with Cadmium. They look different but work the same.
