Don't be a smarty pants behind keyboard Ash...

How come we've never met before eh? I bought my first R33 gtst the date i joined up in this forum and have attended fair amount of cruises and GOR trips.

Probably because you didn't have your keyboard, just like so many before you.

You keep attributing numbers to the competition of winning a trophy, I don't believe it's the case at all. You could have scrapped trophies, same amount of cars would have been there on Sunday. The competition is secondary to the show and shine, there's many more variables to it than that. It has more to do with starting times, lock in, location, weather etc. And that's all I'll say on this.

On with the trophies again? I'm obviously not explaining this correctly as I don't really care about the trophy part and can't see where I led you to believe that. Even though it may seem like I'm fighting, I'm actually just trying to provide a view of which some of it may be beneficial for the club.

I posted that the competition was 'rigged'....but I wasn't being serious lol.

I enjoyed the day even though I didn't win anything (not even a fuel voucher haha).

'Rigged' was just me generalising the many words that were used to describe it :) I had a fun time too! I'm sure everyone did. I'm just looking at it from a long term growth perspective, that's all.

You kids need to be less complaining.

Everyone loves to whine after an event, but I see NO members EVER volunteering your time, thoughts or ideas.

So as a result, you get what you are given. If you don't like it - put down your keyboard and run for Committee to take the club into what you believe the direction should be.

Trying not to come off as a nagging child although understandably suggestions are far easier to make after an event. I have not been to an official event before therefore I had no reference to suggest prior to this one.

I would be happy to volunteer, although when I try to provide constructive feedback to a 'Club Executive' it's taken as a complaint. It's a little difficult to want to volunteer when the absolute first step of the whole process, making suggestions as an attendee, is a grueling experience.

Not quite sure why I bothered giving a shit :(

Oh C'mon.. don't be like that mayne, uncle Flynn loves you.

There were a fair few cruise clubs that sprung up after the first release of Fast n Furious, every Tom Dick and Harry was getting into the import craze.

One that comes to mind is MCCR.. Melbourne Car Cruise Registry.

Got some wheels first!

Mine didn't arrive in time otherwise I'd do less of bribing...

Not to worry, there's always next year.

Now to wrap the wing or not, mine's peeling :(

What wheels did you get again?

Where is the spoiler peeling?

Where is the spoiler peeling?

Panasport G7 C5C - Flat spoke, 18x10.5 +16, but may sell it cos with coilovers I've got I fear I will wreck it with tinest of potholes. But the coilovers do make the R handle amazing though - might grab softer set with swaybars.

It's peeling where the long bit towards window, I think it'll peel further when I wash it with high pressure water at carwash joint. I'm thinking of sticker bomb vinyl the wing, not the blade though.

By 8hrs you mean 6 yea?

Of those 6, almost 1hr of that would be moving in/out etc.

6 / 8 same same, same reason i didnt enter the sau nats one its just to long imo, clearly others dont have an issue with it which is fine but i'd be willing to bet you'd have a better turn out with a shorter time frame of mandatory attendance.

but im not knockin your events you guys do a good job considering its unpaid unloved work

I am sure you can spare 1 day from the whole entire 365 days we have in a year to spend a quarter of a day at a show and shine :laugh:

It's just for some fun.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • 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.
