Hey guys,

I've been going to the cruise for charity for the last two years with my mate in his VY SV6, it's always good fun and a great day out. Especially 2010 the cruise route was awesome.

This year I'm thinking about bringing my own car for the cruise as every time I see other Skylines, even an RX3 last year.

Is anyone interested in coming along? Perhaps having our own little cruise within the cruise (of course donating to the charity cause as well)

I believe they're looking at Sunday the 21st October 2012 at the moment. I'll pose more details if there's any interest.

Thanks,

Teir.

I believe there is something like over 800 cars that go, and they are thinking it'll be MUCH larger this year, I understand they are all cruising to a motorsport venue (one that is large enough to house everyone) as an end point for a car show and stuff. (not sure if it's official yet, so i wont say where).

Like anything, you will always get morons, but the Police actually get involved with this due to the sheer size so muppet ratio should be markedly diminished.

Well you guys didn't need to post that in this guys thread in the first place go or don't go it's your decision no need to ruin a thread with speculation.

Well for starters it's not in the events section. Which it should be.

And secondly yusoangry4 are u thinking of buying a commodore lol

From the last two years it's been pretty calm. The odd idiot doing a burn out on the way out but with almost 1000 cars you gotta expect some idiots, but also as nismod said, there's cops, ALOT OF COPS. Cops at every entrance and exit, also along the cruise route. Personally, I haven't seen anything dangerous stupid...

To be honest, a few of us witnessed a much more dangerous maneuver at the SAU GOR cruise this year that was completely out of the ball park compared to what I've ever seen at the cruise for charity.

As for posting in events, I really wanted to just put a few feelers out, see who's interested. If it gets big enough and the mods want to organize anything, perhaps make a Member's cruise within the CfC of our own? Put in a donation together? If we get a big enough group and want to meet up ourselves and do it I don't mind organizing that either, as I said, just putting the feelers out.

Once we know the start and destination, and if mods don't want to organize anything I'll perhaps put something "official" in the events area and organize it.

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
