Erin, I am sorry but I have to pull out because of personal reasons, not with anyone here or anything, just some stuff is happening that comes before skylines, and there is not much so it's important, hope you all have a farking good time though, I am very dissapointed that I am going to miss this :)

Oh well dems da brakes!

Knore, as far as I know there isn't any pot holes/bar roads that we travel on. It's all main highway so there could well be seeming all our taxes go into setting up operations for hoons and not fixing up the shocking state of QLD roads.

That's the reason I changed the meeting spot, I personally dont really want to drive my car over dirt after I've spent all damn day cleaning it :)

That's good to hear, I'm sure there are plenty of us who are scared of driveways.

I wouldn't get too excited about washing the car too early, rain is predicted all weekend. :O

Sorry Bob, but I will have to pull out..... ;)  

I "FORGOT" about a wedding that I RSVP'd to a month ago that is on, you guessed it the same night.....

Have fun all

Cam :O

Actually in all seriousness Ang is not feeling well.... so it looks quite possible that I WILL meet you @ Springwood...

Ok thanks erin,

yeh i DEFINATELY cant drive on dirt, my front bushes are split, i wouldnt feel safe at all.

My front bar is fairly low, its about 8cm at the lowest point

Its getting raised an inch a few days after the cruise :)

Also ive gotta say now if its raining ill probably have to miss it, i dont trust the bushes that much especially driving on water :Bang:

Im praying for the best

I bet the water usage goes up today from the 50+ people cleaning their skylines hehe :headspin:

Hey all, im sorry to say that i most likely wont be there tonight, it could be possible to meet up later but i doubt it. We still have to wire up the entire gearbox and build an entire exhaust system so definately dont wait up for me, have fun though guys.

Drive Safe!

I really wish it could of made it but theres just too much left, by exhaust i mean headers as well, and theres probably a good 2-3 hours of wiring and my mechanic stayed the night to get an early start on the car and i wake up and he's no where to be seen, his daily driver is gone but the 10sec ute is still in the driveway??? not answering phone but fare trade i say :)

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
