Really looking forward to working with you guys to meet up more often, I would say that was the best cruise I have been on in terms of the friendly people and the positive attitude towards each others cars :)

If you have a photo of my 33, can you photoshop the mud off the tyers please :P

He will have photos of it mate, pretty sure we can fix the mud for you... Was good to cruise with ya :thumbsup:

Definately was an enjoyable meet and good to know there is some cool enthusiasts with imports in Newcastle. Never thought there was going to be such a big turnout. I think I did a good job of parking the boat away from the thoroughfare. Was good seeing cars kept in such good condition and that people respect their cars.

Cant remember anyones name seeing as I never pay attention to peoples names, but 34GeeTeeTee was a bloody funny bloke.

Can't wait till I get my full licence so I can take the purest of japanese muscle cars to one of the meet's (Nissan S15). Hopefully by then I'll be laying down around 300 horsepower at the rears, but realistically my car will still probably be in stock form as I'm contemplating saving up to import another mint condition champagne/charcoal two tone S13 from Japan to replace the one I used to have.

Cheers, and yeah you too, your car is very impressive. I'm a big fan of the more stealth look as opposed to the polish/chrome look

Thanks guys, was happy to organise but it was abit of a joint effort with Matt, thanks mate, and everyone else that had input, and of course everyone for showing up, made the day very enjoyable meeting local sau'ers.

Struggling with pics abit, but heres one of Martins bueaty... i know you were keen for some mate, hope i dont dissapoint!

Car looks so good in that pic thanks for that

Not disappointed with that pic at all

There will be HEAPS of pics mate :)

I loved the car, was different and nice and clean! Hope the wife had fun too.... Cheeky! ;)

Look forward to more pics

Thanks the car is different I suppose, your car is an impressive bit if work as well

Melisa had fun as well

Thanks for organizing the meetup fellas, was a good day. Hopefully happens more often.

We WILL have regular meets... We have the SAU NSW Texi day next weekend but I think after that we should have a meet and workout what suits everyone in terms of future meets... I was gunna organise Stockton meets, but it may not suit everyone so let's work it out :)

Car looks good mate!

IF we do regular meets, let's keep it clean and support the SAU reputation... Like I mentioned today about the idiots that fkd up the Newcastle scene, let's not ruin a good thing :)

Was a good day, thanks Anthony!!! so many clean skylines own by people who truely appreciate them. Need more V series owners from Newcastle on here just sayin lol.

maximas are very pretty so u will probly be waitn a while. just buy a skyline. if u cant beat em join em

:blink:

Oh wow, that is twice on one day... Not cool!!! Was an awesome looking car BTW :D

For cruises there are a few options... I might go scope a couple before suggesting... If you wanna tag along we can do an EOI mini cruise lol....

I think a regular meet up, BBQ, hangout whatever is in order ;)

Definately agree, regular meet up/ BBQ & cruise is a great idea. I think acting in a sensible manner (like how everyone cruised today) and having so many cars together all doing the right thing may help other motorists adopt a more positive perspective of imports. As I was at the back of the pack, I noticed all the people on the sidewalk of the roads and so on stop and have a bit of look of the convoy going past.

By the way, I noticed on entry to the carpark at Spears Point some of the little young kids were saying stuff like "Hey Dad, look at the skylines!!". Of course, they didnt say "Hey Dad, look at the Commodore". Which is pretty cool.

was a good meet up today, props to organiser.....had a awesome feed too.

surprised at the number of skylines that turned up today, sold the skyline a few weeks back so had to bring the r/c car..

    • The team at OBD2 Australia are pretty good, shoot them an email and ask them. I've dealt with them before for work stuff. I'd be shocked if it didn't work, so long as Consult can activate the ABS. But you might need to use KLine for it which would be the stopper, as I don't think that piece does KLine comms.
    • Yeah and hence my ghetto way of slamming the brakes, get the ABS to cycle, rebleed seems to be a sensible workaround.
    • Hey! Happy to help. Nothing inherently wrong with the adapter, it's more so with Brett Collins himself. He gave me a lot of incorrect information when I was in contact with him and was extremely rude when I challenged him. He stated I could not use any aftermarket twin plate clutches except for his own, not to use the dush shield, bla bla bla and it was all BS.  Collins stated to cut roughly 14mm's off the housing, I took off 15mm to make room for the dust shield. I would confirm with whatever adapter manufacturer you're using. 
    • There's plenty of OEM steering arms that are bolted on. Not in the same fashion/orientation as that one, to be sure, but still. Examples of what I'm thinking of would use holes like the ones that have the downward facing studs on the GTR uprights (down the bottom end, under the driveshaft opening, near the lower balljoint) and bolt a steering arm on using only 2 bolts that would be somewhat similarly in shear as these you're complainig about. I reckon old Holdens did that, and I've never seen a broken one of those.
    • Let's be honest, most of the people designing parts like the above, aren't engineers. Sometimes they come from disciplines that gives them more qualitative feel for design than quantitive, however, plenty of them have just picked up a license to Fusion and started making things. And that's the honest part about the majority of these guys making parts like that, they don't have huge R&D teams and heaps of time or experience working out the numbers on it. Shit, most smaller teams that do have real engineers still roll with "yeah, it should be okay, and does the job, let's make them and just see"...   The smaller guys like KiwiCNC, aren't the likes of Bosch etc with proper engineering procedures, and oversights, and sign off. As such, it's why they can produce a product to market a lot quicker, but it always comes back to, question it all.   I'm still not a fan of that bolt on piece. Why not just machine it all in one go? With the right design it's possible. The only reason I can see is if they want different heights/length for the tie rod to bolt to. And if they have the cncs themselves,they can easily offer that exact feature, and just machine it all in one go.
