Just wondering, who here is aiming to attend this event?

Open to all vintages - Is a SAU group attending? Sorry haven't been on for a while.........

For the record, I'm attending in the (r34's old) DR30 (my HR31 is no go just yet).

Cheers,

Mike.

Hey Mike,

Thought you might have been at Hanging Rock on Sunday - it was a great day!

I'll be at Dandy showgrounds - and am taking a couple of cars. We should have around 15 Prince's there all up - 1 of each model GT, Gloria Wagon, Gloria Sedan, Prince Skyline 1500 Estate, KGC10 GT-R Replica (although it is staying on the back of the truck) and the only 1st gen Skyline.

Should be a great day!!! Hope the weather holds up!!!!

See you & Julie there :thumbsup:

Hey Jason,

Ahhh there's nothing like a couple of good Princes on show...... Spot on.

Yeah sorry we didn't turn up, we've done H/Rock the last few years and decided on a break this time round. How'd the Roo Stampede go?

Mike.

howdo,

You're keeeen, excellent. The DR count may have just increased! I think I read you're running down with r31club - feel free to join us -ndsoc if that's not the case. Sure Jason can fill you in on the details.

Yes I've been copping a bit of sh#t for not attending H.R. I guess I got to the stage where the amount of Mustangs in my diet caught up with me, needed a year off to help with digestion!

RE: the rock and mustangs,

yeah I feel your pain, but tehers heaps of the cool things there!

Its abit of a tradition I go down there now, the old man has a few toys.

Wasnt really going to cruise down with the R31 guys, just a solo cruise down.

Should try get the R30's together again.

And woot, Im now on club rego :devil:

NDSOC are meeting at Keysborough Macca's for a 9am departure. Prince guys will be there earlier to set up and unload a couple of trailers......

CSA also have a good number going....

Should be a big day!!

Im a maybe now, unless I can get a new reinforced sump on the fj,

copped a good hit in the hills and got some oil pump whine :yucky:

I did this the oil pressure stayed a little lower too. i beat it back out (space for the pickup..causes noise/starvation) i braced mine with checker plate!

it was not overly hard in the end

Marc,

its a straightfoward job, have a welder, would rather get another sump preped for a quick swap as i cant have the car out of action.

thanks for the offer cazz, but would to like to buy one :)

I might take it as is, and plan the route there avoiding shitty roads.

Looking like a good r30 turnout :cheers:

    • Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.
    • That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!
    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
    • You just gotta be really, really, really clear and decisive with what you want your end product to be. 99% of people who want this conversion aren't "I want to run a 295 front tyre!" so they don't really need the widebody. They just want the OEM body to look a little less dumpy, so bonnet, bar, skirts job done with some camber, stretch, slam. It's when you want that, but then decide to pivot later you get big problems. See also if you're willing to get an all in one fibreglass bar, and you're willing to accept fibreglass problems like cracking the entire item on a driveway, instead of just a piece attached to the bottom, etc etc etc. Decide this all before buyin'.
