Beregron you can come!:) Also hope everyone drives sensibly i would hate to attract cop attention an people given defects etc! Im thinking the 24th of this month which is a saturday! Not sure on a place yet but somewhere halfway between north an south! Open to suggestions!

I'm keen to come meet a few peepz, just a suggestion, another good place where I've had a few meets at is Burnside shopping center, there's an undercover car park not visible from the road.. Just in case a cop goes past. Also don't want a defect.. :P:D

The cruise is for skyline enthusiats and owners! Good way to meet new people, ask questions and see what ideas people have come up with! Not for people who wanna hoon around with there gtr badges stuck on there gt!

It will be fine an cops will only target us if we are driving around like hoons which isn't going to happen!

LOL ... they WILL turn up if you advertise the place/start time - and they most definitely do peruse these forums on a regular basis, let me guarantee you.

It's been 10 years since I last frequented car cruises and i can't agree with this enough. I have no idea how the scene has changed in that time but i bet the police have not :P

I only just moved here and have heard all the horror stories.

But The one cruise meet I have attended was organized on FB across several club pages, had at least 100 cars attend and I did not see 1 police member.

Heard about someone who was pulled over while driving but that was not on the designated route.

Not saying they won't, just sharing my first cruise experience.

I do agree that location should be not too hugely published, but how do you know who is and isn't going to inform them anyway.

And as said, be responsible and its all good =)

They have....for the worse. I got abused by a cop while driving a camry. And when he coldnt book me for anything he gave me a yellow light ticket $477 (even though there was a speed and red light camera at the lights that DIDNT flash).....

And you should have seen the cop when I went in to lodge a complaint....

For anyone who doesn't know the

Meeting point will be big w car park, Which is 366 goodwood rd, cumberland park! On the 24th this month at 12pm!! Please don't be to paranoid about the cops like i said drive resposibly and we will be fine! Went on a cruise a while ago a didn't even see a cop!

If its an NS cruise you get all sorts of mirth... like cars rolling over....*wipes tear from eye* Good Times...

Probably the only responsible cruise I know of is the Ben Simpson memorial cruise. The Olds make a great deal of effort to run it smoothly and they pull it off quite well. Theres another one which I cant recall the name, which mostly has American classics/muscle cars and another one with exotics but that's a more 'mature' scene in general (ie no punk ass 19 year olds on P plates driving blatantly defective cars)

That said, good luck and I hope everything goes smoothly and everyone behaves themselves.

Been on the last few NS cruises, Custom Imports cruises, Ben Simpsons cruises. Cops never been an issue unless youre trying to be a hero or are rocking bald tyres

Thats the real problem with the SA car scene, people being too pussy to take their cars out and enjoy them and then using the old "wa wa cops wa wa" excuse.

Amen to that... first cruise i went on 10 years back saw a write off in the first 2 hours.

CDan't stop the "P" plate heroes sadly... everyone who has been on a cruise is bound to have some sort of "wanker" story tho. Seems having a cheap, clapped out import also gives you a licence to abuse it.

Still, fingers crossed for an incident free day... i'll try get along to have a peak at a few cars.

I'll be in my comfy wagon :)

    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
    • The video for the servicing and fuel filter change can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44 One of the main jobs I wanted to do before the car officially went on the road, was to remove the awful looking blue silicone hoses. There's nothing wrong with having coloured silicone hoses, but I realise as I'm getting older I prefer monotone engine bays with a splash of colour on the engine cover(s). I cover this in a lot more detail in the Youtube video, so unfortunately there's limited photos of the process. The intercooler, upper radiator, boost vacuum and upper breather hoses were all changed to black silicone with mikalor clamps. The only blue left is a blanking cap at the back of the inlet manifold and the GReddy pulleys (which will be replaced for stock when the cambelt gets replaced) While the intercooler pipes were off I gave them a quick clean/polish too A before photo I do have a replacement air filter on its way. Fuse box covers were painted blue, they're now satin black Another job on the list while the bumper was off, is to add some mesh https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737966256_99b28bfa30_c.jpg[/img] I was hoping to use some thin wire to secure it, but it seems I've misplaced it and the wire I had was too thick to twist easily. I ended up using cable ties for the time being https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131882_c2b7989dcc_c.jpg[/img] Was pleasant to see this https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131627_8b2aab13b3_c.jpg[/img] The last thing to do was to fix the front grill and re-mesh that to match but I ran out of time The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4FsF6tgizE&t=23s
