Sau Nsw Wisemans Ferry Social Cruise Sunday 19Th Feb 2012

Was there a photo of me getting on the ferry? The Sil80 had a HARD time getting off :|

-Alex

I couldn't take any photos because I was either too busy talking, handing out maps, or turning up late everywhere on the day!

But that's what a couple of us were worried about, we saw a few cars about our ride height make it ON the ferry ok, but had no idea what it would be like on the other side. Would've had to catch the ferry back to the south side again and then reverse off it!

Poor low cars missing out on all the driving fun........pinch.gif

My boat goes everywhere, no point in owning a car that cannot be driven I say, I always say that "low is slow" unless you have spent big dollars on correcting steering geometry, might need to change that to "low is no go" :whistling:

I think it depended on which ferry you caught over, I'll admit my car wasn't the lowest but it managed to get on the ferry fine and get off even easier - on the other side the ferry I was on they managed to make it so it was no worse then going over a lil speed hump to get off.

Still had a great run around the river back down old northern rd through the gorge and up the freeway to mangrove to catch up with the rest of the crew, made good time and wasn't dependent on ride height :P

Yeah mate, I got one of yours getting on. I think I was a micro-second too late though as the shutter closed right when your front right wheel hit the bump/ramp. I will put it up for you tonight if I can.

PS - On a an unrelated topic - does anyone know when your warn status goes back down? Mine hasnt moved in years and I am itching to swear and be humourously abusive again.

Hey Guys, I've been wanting to get on here and post pics of the event but I have been bent over with work. There is no point posting my pics on here as each photo is 16MB, so I loaded the maximum 300MB in one go onto Flickr. I have heaps more so will load more up as soon as I get more space to play with. Link is Below - Enjoy.

    • Yeah good luck out there! Will be good to see a mighty GTST going harder than the GTRs
    • i will be there 😁
    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
