Yeah I had a great time!  The sudden slow downs to 20kmh on the highway were a bit hair rasing at times tho, cars going everywhere!  But yeah over all really good.  Organisation was fine, I didnt even read the bit of paper I it was easy, just follow the leader! :P

And I was good, I parked right up the end of the line, I wasnt inbetween any skylines for anyone who was complaining :)

Hey dangerous_dave yeah that was me u almost had in your boot lol :chairshot

I got a flat spoted front right :Oops:

gee that would be funny what would u call it a skyfro :blast:

The reason people were doing like 20k's on the highway is this thing called 'Chain Reaction', im sure you learnt about it in year 8 at highschool.

Basically, when erin is up the front doing 90 or so (for a few k's) just so everyone can regroup.. it makes this thing called a chain reaction, causing the cars behind her to break and slow a bit.. and considering we had such a long line, the people at the end of it will have felt the end of the reaction which by the time it hit them, they would have slowed to your apparent 20k's..

ontop of this, we all were traveling in the one left hand lane (which was the right thing to do), and as this lane is used to take exits, people some times had to break to let people in that would like to use the exits.. and i witnessed some of these cars slowing to use the exit, and hesitating which would have sent another 'chain reaction' to the one already sent.

So in theory, the reason why the people at the tail end where doing this 20ks would be causing your dealing wiht at least chain reactions in one.

its simple logic, its commonsense .. wanna go faster, indicate right anf move up the back like me and other members did.

:P ... thats your education for today :)

I think we had more of a chance of getting 'slow' tickets for going too slow than getting them for speeding on the way to bwcp. I dont think i even got to 100km/h the whole time.

Yeh the sudden braking woke me up nice and good :Oops:

I hanged around the coast untill about 2am with a few others and ended up getting home about 4am after some city cruising with 2quick

Good to drive my car in again, thats the first time ive driven it properly since i got it back. It can only get faster now, and handle better as of next week :P

I see some of you's on the weekly cruises from now on....

Once again, Thanks Erin and Adrian!!

Argh I'm sooo pissed off I couldn't make it... a mate ended up getting taken to hospital in an ambo after getting into a fight at my brother's house. Sort of put my plans on hold... :P

Anyway looks like it was an awesome cruise, even better to hear that, on the whole, everyone was pretty well behaved too.

Good work Erin/Adrian!

Hey much thanks to erin and adrian for the cruise good to meet fellow line owners around and espically on the nth side.... many thanks to Sheree (61RLY) for takin charge of the pack that got lost hehehe and how funny was the BWCP exit disaster half of us diddnt have a clue where to go... cant wait for the next one

    • 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.
