bloddy friggin good night peoples like oh my god did anyone neally hit that guy in the middle of the road leaving fingal car park?.....................any way where the hell did everyone take off too after the last stop????

What can I say?

DAMN THAT WAS GOOD!

Imagine that many 'lines on a daylight cruise to a picnic area. NOw that would be cool

Had a great time, but got seperated from the pack on he way home at the great "Gold Coast or Pacific Highway" debacle, everyone said goldie and went pacific?!?!?!.

Was awesome fun ... got to do my bit recruisting for the r31 club .... felt a bit insignificant with my crappy GX parked next to the white 34 GTR at BWCP

I left pretty early from the fingle place just after the cop car truned up ... what did the cops have to say ?? ... i think we passed a couple more heading that way on out way out???

The cops were asking for directions :D there were some funny anocdotes at that point though.

nah, apparently they just were wondering what we were doing.. somebody told them, they went "fair enough, don't cause trouble" and left us.

actually i think 3 cop cars came through shortly after each other, but we didn't hassle them, and they didn't hassle us.. and each went on their merry way.

Looks like you guys had a mad time though with any large car group losing ppl and ppl not knowing where to go is part of the fun lol :)

But I recon from cruises I've done with the old vl club and ls1 clubs a big day time thing through the back country roads is always a bloody great day out I recon.

Out to summerset dam or something like that something really big or even a big day drive out to a nice camp site get a big fire drinks food then drive back the next day?

That'd be good but yeah hope to have a r33 in few months so then I can be part of the fun lol :D

Yeah they looked like they were in a bit of a hurry to get up to the car park.

Had a pretty good time, got bored in the bwcp after after 30 mins, then soon after being at fingal got bored again, then the cops made an appearance so that was a good time to leave.

On the way home we stopped off at Mudgeraba to get some fuel and then went up to The Panorama @ Tallai, nice view, got a few good pics then left for home.

Roughly between Helensvale and Comera there were a few wankers about doing the street racing thing and a some cops hiding on the side of the road.

Saw 45EXN [think thats right] cruising on the way home, thats a nice car!

many thanks to Sheree (61RLY) for takin charge of the pack that got lost hehehe  

*pats himself on the back *

Happy to take charge :) .. lol

Huh were u the pilot of the R33 that night... with the teddy bear? hahaha

Was a good night, after getting to Broady my big day caught up with me so myself and GTR Cam went for coffee, saw quite a few lines drive past...

Was an awesome night, with the only exception being nitwits who changed in the far left lane in their excels...and caused everyone to jump on the stoppers..

Was also good to see someone else with the same wheels as me!!!!

Almost forgot, thanks to the Organisers it was a well organised and behaved cruise and I thoroughly enjoyed it...coming from a long time cruiser!!! :D

Oh and I think we need a day one soon so I can take better video footage as most of it turned out too dark.... :)

Very, Very, Very dissapointed I had to miss it, but these things happen, my hulk mobile is not finished being riced up anyway so hopefully it'll all be ready for next one :P

Looks like the organisation was AWESOME and the cruise was AWESOME! So congratz to Erin and Adrian and James for the orgainisational skills to successfully hold 70+ Skylines together WELL DONE!

Looking forward to the next one ;)

Yep was a awsome night, so many lines :P

Thanks for hanging round and coming cruising after knore and 4doors that was the better part of the night I think.

He he the M3 thing was cool as steve and thanks for leaving me in a cloud of smoke lol.

I think we should organise a day time one also, maybe have a bbq or something.

see if we can beat 77 cars.

    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
    • My experience with Rising Sun Exports Before agreeing to the sale I tried to do as much research as I could (obviously), his Facebook reviews are 98% and he goes Live at least once or twice a week. I contacted 2 people in the UK who had used him for their imports, both had positive feedback. His explanation and talk through of the import process was thorough, answering any query no matter how stupid it was. It felt as soon as the money was sent, communication dropped off. I asked for shipping updates every 2 weeks or so, not wanting to pester him, he never had any updates. I wasn't informed the car had been dropped off at the port, I only found out by his Facebook story. I asked for the photos taken at the port, knowing he would need some for insurance purposes. I received a few 5 second clips and that's it. When asked again, he said his staff had them. Weeks later I asked again, he tells me he doesn't have any, but does have 50 photos from the original advert. I never received them. I eventually got the documents sent via WhatsApp after I mentioned the port was requesting them. I purchased a CarVX report, to find out the vehicle is a Grade R with recorded accident damage, first recorded in 2017 when it was first auctioned. He never told me the grade, then again I didn't ask. His response was "Grade R means nothing, it wasn't chassis damage". Still, I would have liked to have been informed about it. Jon prides himself on being open and honest when it comes to inspecting cars, it's his main job doing so at the auctions for customers. When the vehicle arrived in the UK I noticed a few little cosmetic issues. It's a 21 year old car so it wasn't going to be mint condition. The side skirts are cracked on each corner and the sealant is failing. The front grill on the bonnet/hood isn't secured very well, mounting studs are missing. Both minor things, but again, it would have been nice to be told. During a Facebook Live walk around video of the vehicle, he mentioned it has a front Whiteline anti roll bar/sway bar. While on the inspection ramp, I noticed the stock item has been installed. When first questioned, his response was "the ARB? Switched? Since when, it never had them". Since sending video and photo evidence I've not received a response. I'm probably being over critical of the overall condition of an old car, but all I wanted was honesty (which he claims to have). I'm aware I wasn't his only customer, he's busy doing XYZ but other reviews praise him for great communication with regular updates and photos, I felt I didn't receive the same treatment. 
    • I was able to get some underside photos while the car was on the ramp The suspension is all Altezza/IS200/IS300 so getting part's will hopefully be less of a headache
