Was a great drive today

Pity about some bikes trying to kill themselves while others were on a go slow but apart from that a good day all round

Was good to put faces to names and meet some new people

Benji needed to change his pants after getting a drive of a 33 GTR

Carmen and I had a good day, would have loved to have had the 34 out today but was amazed how well the lil GTI held its own in the twistys...

As Martin said, idiots on bikes and slow drivers were a downfall but the day was awesome!

I now understand why Top Gear loath caravans too!!

Oh and thumbs up to the HWP for doing the right thing and target speed and not the cars themselves...

Great bunch of people on the cruise. Thanks to Martin for letting me tag along as passenger.

Just a bit of shame some people mover vehicles ahead of us were driving extra slow and holding us up.

Lol..yeah, agreed.

Big thankyou to Owen for letting me briefly pilot the R33 GT-R.....absolutely phenomenal vehicle.

Yeah, the first HWP seemed to just be admiring all the nostalgia going past.... which was pretty cool.

Perfect day for a cruise today; awesome weather, a heap of brilliant cars, and a tasty shnitzel!
It was great to see a huge line of Skylines doing what they do best.

Great to meet a bunch of new people, forgotten almost everyone's names already.

Thanks to Terry for the opportunity to pilot your beautiful new Evo; seriously impressive for a standard car. :wub:

    • Sure, but the result will put so little power to the ground it won't be able to move. Whatever your reason, it will be cheaper and more practical to sell the manual and buy an automatic
    • Hi! Is it possible to use and swap the RB25DET/RB25Neo manual gerbox on to my RB20DE Neo engine with an automatic transmission?
    • my current daily - BiTurbo Diesel SQ5 8R with a remap and some light cosmetic mods. Which is sitting in front of my old daily that hasn’t been driven in 7 years now, home to numerous redbacks no doubt. MK4 Golf GTI with a boser hood extension, air ride airbag suspension, factory RHD Xenon’s from the Japanese R32 and stubby electric mirrors (also from Japan) sitting on custom made 18x10” Work Meisters for the golf’s bolt pattern and offset. one day I’ll revive it as a project, pull the engine out, put some forged bits in, chuck a big turbo on it and tune it to somewhere around 250kw and call it a barn find to make millions off YouTube views. Till then, it is a good breeding home for redbacks and the boot is good for storing my Christmas tree for 11 months of the year.
    • Thanks for jumping in guys, suggested @Sbluatx post here for help. Was hoping one of the guys with a RWD stages could confirm if the tank was the same as the AWD one
    • I got another MAF and installed it. Idle misfire was still present. Finally got the tank low enough to refuel and did so. Did a short drive to warm the car up and no issues, pretty short drive. Going to attempt soon to take a longer drive to see. I don't think the MAF fixed it if anything, definitely thinking it was fuel related. As soon as I put fresh fuel in the car felt so much better. But, still need a longer test drive to verify. I'll report back once done.  I'm definitely going to be getting monitoring and tuning parts soon as my next upgrade (decided on the link after talking with my tuner), just been real tight with just purchasing the car and sudden onset of issues. I've also ordered a new exhaust stud kit and gasket to fix that obvious problem. Once it's back up to par I'll start with the goodies
