Thanks for organising Matt, had mad fun and it was great to catch up with quite a few of you guys as well as meet some new faces.

Terry and I also had a nice "mini cruise" with Sean, Woodsy, Owen and Patrick on the way back up North.

I've taken a few pics which I'll also upload later.

Thanks to Matt for organising it, see you at the next cruise probably! Had a great day, got half my face sunburnt - it's a great look, as well as my arm..

Could you have guessed my passenger who was taking most of the photos was a bit of a fan of Terry's GTR? wub.gif

didnt catch up with the main group till it got to the pie shop thanks to a dodgy GPS and a sleepy gf but was great to see everyone there even if table space and shyness prevented me from getting to know everyone but it was good to be able to put a few more faces to forum names and then join them for the final leg.

unfo' we were all held up by a rather twee couple in a little Bimmer on the way down the mountain but at least the low speeds and hairpin corners allowed me to glance back and see the R34's in all their glory as they navigated the tricky terrain.

more calories were consumed in Berry before everyone went their separate ways and we almost had a run in with a VL club who looked even more out of place than we did in the boutiquey tourist town.

and oh yeah mini cruise part way home was awesome, wish i had some video of me catching up to you guys on that inside lane as i swept down from the mountain, glorious views out to the ocean in the background and even better views of all that shiny JDM metal in front of me getting closer and closer..perfect.

wanted to stretch the cruise out but i can sit on ten under the limit for only so long :P

dont know how u batch resize all your pics to fit in here but lazy ole me just did a select all upload to fbook and heres the link..

Lot's of terrific Pics! Fantastic pics! And many thanks for comments - gratefully for my car and not for me...

...because I apologise for being late - and therefore not as sociable as I usually am.

I also apologise for missing the Bulli Pass turnoff and leading some of you the wrong way into a precarious U-Turn > SH!T

Asian driver in me - LOL. Oh yeah, I nearly rear-ended a bikie on turn 6 of Mac Pass. Oh well - be warned, next time!

And in case you're having trouble holding your tongue about a giant rear wing being owned by a 60 yr old, may I say this...

one person here on SAU and also another on Prelude Australia would love to take that C/F rear wing off me - lol

Many thanks to Matt for putting this on, especially when...

* his own car is in pieces

* those pieces are at someone else's garage

* he can't enjoy driving

Great to drive a great road with my son Matt + enjoy company with Owen, Owen, Matt, David, Patrick, Andrew, Micael, Brian, Genelle, Sean, Steve-0, Indi and others I met at the Pie Shop.

I think we need the give the Pie Shop facia a new coat of paint with R32/R33/R34 pics all over it!

      Stagea Front CV Axle Question

      By S1_C34 · Posted

      I ordered a GSP Front R/H Axle from here - https://justjap.com/products/gsp-premium-front-driveshaft-r-h-nissan-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-stagea-4wd#description It lasted around a year before one of the boots blew out. I'm lowered, but I have GKTech roll center adjusters. One year seems a little premature. I think I'm going to spend the extra money on an OEM cv axle this time. This website - https://tfaspeed.com/collections/nissan-stagea-wgnc34-x-four-parts/products/nissan-stagea-awc34-260rs-rb26-right-front-axle-drive-assembly Makes it sound like the readily available OEM CV axle will only fit 11.1999 Stagea and up (mine is a 2.1997 S1). The JustJap listing didn't mention any years or anything for the GSP axle. Amayama shows '11.1999' and up as well for that part number. As well as 'plastic boot type'. See attached picture. So I guess my question is, does that axle (39100-23U60) really only fit S2 Stagea? It's the front driver side. If it does, I'd love to buy that instead of rolling the dice on another GSP. I've found that OEM one cheaper here: https://www.partsfornissans.com/oem-parts/nismo-jdm-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-r32-gts4-right-front-axle-3910023u60 and here https://www.nissanparts.cc/oem-parts/nismo-shaft-ft-drive-3910023u60 Just a little confused because the JapSpeed listing for the GSP front driver axle doesn't mention any specific years or anything and it fit my S1 Stagea fine. So will 39100-23U60 fit my S1 Stagea even though technically it says '11.1999' and up? What would have changed? Thanks.

      CD009 RB Conversion

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Thanks for the info. The only "Issue" I've had with the shifter is I always found the throw between 4th and 6th gear too close. I'm always worried to shift into 4th accidently and sending my motor to the moon. Adam LZ recently came out with a video and stated Serialnine revised their shifters to correct this and will change all the revised parts for 150$. Strangely enough, I contacted Serialnine right after and they denied it and said it's bullshit. I found that strange as he's a distributer. I'll keep this forum post updated on that saga.

      Yep that is correct. It allows you to adjust the short throw range from what I can tell

      R32 GTST - 600KW+ RB28/CD009 Build

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Car has been running great, I've put about 300km's of break in time on it. First thing that stands out with properly sealing rings is no more noticeable crankcase smell coming out of my catch can. This may seem insignificant, but the constant smell while driving around was infuriating. It's also nice to see my oil level remain stable. Two new issues have developed that I only noticed this weekend though. There's a very noticeable driveline vibration past 100kmh. I only noticed it now as I've been babying it under 100kmh in the backroads. This comes as no surprise as I'm running a one-piece shaft, and I paid zero attention to my driveshaft angle when I put everything back in. I also have a fair bit of voltage drop on hot starts. The starter audibly is forcing. No issues on cold start though. I must not have removed all the paint under my main block ground during assembly. I'll try and take care of both those issues this week once the kids are asleep.  I also received all the parts I was missing for my direct port setup. I will hopefully have pictures of that up soon. I'm hoping to get back on the dyno the week of June 30th as I'll be on vacation. I'm confident I should be able to make north of 500rwkw on pump gas and WMI. I'll go back again later this summer with E98, but I want to confirm my ethanol content sensor is working properly first. I've never seen it read anything but 11%. This makes sense for our 10% ethanol content pump gas here, but I would expect the occasional movement between fill ups.

      The Evolution Of "night Fury"

      By jez NF · Posted

      75% complete. Will now need to get a new axle with 5x114.3 hubs and then figure out how to customize some mudguards for it once the wheels are on.
