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

    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
