James, Ash and Andrew hope you planned a couple of rest stops along the way, as shivam and myself went for a test run yesterday and he experienced major brake fade just after the down hill sections.  Jumped out of the car to see the front calipers SMOKING ;).

Remember we are on a cruise... not a race-track. So we wont be doing heaps of high speed braking like i bet you guys were doing ;)

I didnt get any fade on our drive... and i've got undersized disks and worn pads on my car.

We wont be going fast enough to possibly have anyone with brake fade.

Unless thier car's brakes are shot, then that's the owners problem.

we already have a resident R31 to poke poke fun at. Actually, its moreso the driver that we poke fun at than the car.

I believe Ash's R31 coupe

Hmm... I'm taking this as yet another punt at me :P

And yeah, the take the usual p(ss outta me... but not the car as everyone knows it's a rocket :D

Dunno if my car will be coming yet, dropped it off at centreline this morning so we'll see how it goes.

Either way i'll be there somehow!

Funky - its not 270 x 2. The cruise is kinda one big circle. So the whole cruise (well from Major Petrol station to Major petrol station) is 270 and they both just out of the CBD. We don't do any doubling back the way we came from on this cruise.

For those wanting to pre-meet out the front of Evolution R meet there at say 8:45am. This will be only a short quick meet-up and then we'll cruise to megamart.

sounds good! i will be meeting at the megamart... keep an eye out for a green soarer that looks like a moo cow thanks to that fantastic fibreglass patching up of the front hehe.

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • 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?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • 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
