Dam it! I thought I double checked it a couple of times.

Sorry mate a bit too late to change it now, not everyone will re-read this thread. There is an assumed 15 minute fuel/pit stop in there based on where people want to catch petrol.

It will actually only be 45 minutes and if people from Canberra are there we can leave early. Good time to grab a morning snack and take some pics of the cars assembling.

Eric . . . (where did Terry come from???)

No worries, I'm too excited anyway to be worried what time we meet up . . . I'll probably be there at 4am . .. :no:

See you at Yass on Friday . . . . .

Oh, was also going to tell you folks that MotiveDVD is covering the event. Andrew and crew will be driving down from Sydney and might be joining us on the convoy/film some of the trip down.

Is there a opt out button? lol..

Hi Terry:

Quick question re Yass meet-up time:

According to your estimated drive times below, assuming you leave Pheasants Nest on time at 7:30am you will easily get to Yass Caltex by 9:30am -

This means nearly an hour's wait for rendezous with Canberra crew, and Yass ain't that interesting.

Maybe a 9:30 or 9:45 meet time would be better?

Thank you for organising this cruise - really looking forward to it

Robert

LOL!!!!! I think Eric calculated the times driving his horse and cart.

stupid mother fracking mechanic only texted me at one am last night to tell me he is at a track day today so he wont be able to finish the car like he promised..hence picking it up tomorrow morning and having to STILL wait to get it tuned by this Toshi guy.

dont expect to be on the road till 5pm at the earliest...just in time for peak hour :domokun:

I know this kind of thing happens with mechanics but yeah really mad im missing the cruise down, will be heading out by the time you guys arrive, least i dont miss the track day i guess..

We'll be meeting you at Pheasants nest so we can film the road trip for the DVD.

Unfortunately our GTR isn't back together yet due to work being crazy busy :( But will be an awesome weekend :)

I'd be giving your mechanic an earfull

same thing happened to me this weekend... supposed to drop the car off on Monday, and on Sunday night the mechanic who was supposed to be working on it said he may not have time to fix the car this week, but i should bring it around just incase... haha. oh well! Got it sorted!

at least yours gave you some warning that it might not get done, mine was 100% that it would be finished by today..i dont like to flame him as he has good rates and works with imports a lot but was pretty upset to not be able to get down with the convoy and boogie boogie.

also the text stated he 'may finish it tomorrow' ie i might not even have time to get it tuned..if have the turbo instal finished at all. Its already half in so not like i can just drive off and leave it till next week. Aaaagh! hopefully i get sorted out on the price..

Im sure the Motive guys got some good film on the way down. It was good to see them cruizin up/down from the back of the pack to the front.

It would have been good to have pre_organised a fly by at speed.

Although Drew was moving at a great rate of knots a few times.

A few oh shit moments were had. Skippy was oh so lucky Shell didn't clean it up and some nice evasive action taken by Drew not to clean her up.

I hope everybody that decided to convoy down had a good time. I know I did! It was so great seeing the skylines all running along. Hecktic fast 'n furious bro (like the truckies said, lol).

And I have to add that the schedule (albiet conservative timing) worked out great and we ran to the schedule almost exactly :nyaanyaa:

      WTB R34 GTR Guard Liners

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
