The Bad.Well first off , l was totally disappointed by the turnout (15 cars l think)

And by the end off the day there was 5 cars going home in a convoy , and 3 stayed back for the motel.

The good.

It was a great day for driving , lots of sunshine (except later in got cloudy)

Everybody behaved & no major trouble.

We even managed to do the route that the 2nd day squad would have driven on Sunday.

Passed the 12 Apostles and onto Port Campbell before coming back.

well any way heres a link to some PHOTOS.

Ye was a rather dismal turnout considering we normally get 50 cars, and we book the hotel out WITHOUT taking money. Guess people will have to pre-pay from now on :ermm:

Easy drive down/back. Not one caravan for a change hehe.

I was going to come back to the motel till 6/7pm or so, but work got the better of me.

I spent all lunch working whilst @ the fish'n'chips shop and then had to leave immediately :(

Bit of a downer in that respect as i reckon the 2nd day is the best part of it all!

as others have said bit of a disapointing turnout, but otherwise was a good cruise, no troubles, weather held up and not many slow drivers through the twisties which was good

i had a great time, for the group who drove back sorry i was driving a bit slow, was because i relaised my stock suspension is pretty bad in terms of handeling but having 6.5inch wide rear wheels with approx 170kw at the wheels wasnt really helping either

good news is coilovers n strut brace are goin in this week so should be ready for the next official

will post up some of the pics i took throughout the day later on when i get them on my pc

It was a great cruise... despite the small turnout. Was expecting to see at least 30 cars...

weather was perfect and traffic wasn't too bad. There were a few slow cars on the GOR but most pulled aside to give us a clean run. Had an awesome time and great to meet you guys who turned up.

i was bummed i couldn't make it due to moving into new house and trying to get swimming pool sorted out and everything setup and installed. Perhaps the fact that 98 octane fuel was $1.63 a litre on Saturday had something to do with the low turnout.

that is just awesome!

most times people just sit there keeping you back knowingly.... like that 4wd from GOR day 2 2009

Lucky i filled up on Friday night when it was still a manageable 1.40 after 4c Coles discount for V-power

Well was a bummer to see only 15 cars turning up, considering the last GOR cruise with 50 cars, but nevertheless it was a fun day with good weather and some good twisties with less traffic, Its good that we did all of the stage 2 route on the 1st day itself... Was definitely worth it!!! :)

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
