Hey guys,

Just a quick question,

I was driving down Hindmarsh the other day and seen a honda wit a rushhour sticker on it, it got me wondering.

Ive happened to notice that u only see a few cars with rushhour stickers on them nowadays, nowhere near as many as there used to b around town.

I know they used to get a bad wrap, but also heard they started doing charity cruises for good causes.

Is anyone here a member of this notorious club?

And what's the go with their cruises?

I heard people started removing the stickers because they were being targeted by the Police. In the same rumor, it was said that ACT policing had a group specifically investigating Rush Hour.

Their once a year charity event does not negate all the bad things they have done and still doing, such as pouring oil on the road to do burnouts, racing in traffic. I went to the first Rush Hour Charity cruise and it was a TLGP.

There are a couple of Skylines that are part of their activities. They don't post much on here though.

Their "Cruises" are through a email list or sms. Their Charity Cruise is normally on Forums and Facebook.

It doesn't feel like many ppl here like cruisin much anymore.

I went to the drive-in at blacktown for fast five on sat night. Was amazed wit the turn out. Just thinking it'd b nice to have something organised like that down here.

yea might go c what all the fuss is about.

On another note, do we have an ACT skyline interest for texikhana june 12th at narimba airstrip?

Lol, the ACT Skyline crew normally are at the top of the field. This coming Texikhana, Reece (from Canberra) will be designing the course.

I'm considering going again, but it's a bit of money I could use to my Japan trip....

Cruises are rare these days because of the police. If you want to do one, put up a post and organise it and give people plenty of warning.

I think they run on Wednesday nights in Woden some where. A few of my mates go there often. I hear police break it up nearly every night and give out defects

Im guessing this is dylan and you were talking to dean? Police barely ever bother them and rarely give out defects unless you are being an arsehole. Mostly just RBT unless they see you doing skids etc. They will however put a note in their system on your car/license that you are connected with them.

Stickes are rare because of the bad rep, but there are plenty of cars sporting the charity cruise one as they dont really say rushour on them.

If I want to go for a drive I do it...no need to have a dozen 18yo knobheads trying to do skids in their mums VN Vacationer come with you.

Its only an Hour to Cooma and that is quite a nice drive and there are no traffic lights/RBTs etc every 5ks up the road

Its not like its Broadbeach carpark on teh GC a few years ago where it was a full on carshow every saturday night so it was intersting to see Genuine HO Falcons and 700Hp GTRs etc

Then the Knobhead 18yo's came and ruined it now there is nothing :(

Dean, Darren, Dale and few others. I just got told they usually meet up in Woden somewhere and cruise around usually up to the cotter and do circlework. I got told that one time the police blocked off both sides of the car park and had a look at everyones cars and handed out a few canaries. I've never been interested in Rush Hour so I'm just going off what I've heard.

This is true. They've finally discovered the truck turn around a few weeks ago after so many months of being built. I haven't seen oil there, but it might just be a matter of time.

headed out past the cotter to blue range hut yesterday there was a corner that might as well have had the tarmac replaced with shredded rubber and steel wiring.

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
