Hey Guys! Im new to SAU although my passion is GTR's i have yet had the chance to own one :( nevertheless i thought id introduce my self as i met someone last night at La Perouse who mentioned something about a Skyline cruise happening today, would have loved to come but unfortunately got work commitments. My name is Steve Ezzeddine, im a photographer and i love Skylines. I thought id take this opportunity to let everyone know that next cruise i will definitely be coming along to take some good shots!

Im sure you would have been able to turn the car around. Even a 90 point turn could have gotten you back out. Skylines dont have bad turning circles at all. I am not meaning to be rude, but if I had t

Hey everyone, thank you all so much for coming along. I really had a great time and I'm hoping everyone enjoyed it as much as I did =) I do apologize for springing the off road section up on everyone.

Thanks guys....... Had a great day.... Sorry I couldn't make the last part of the journey to Patonga but I had to get home.

Here are a few of my crappy iPhone pics and I'm already looking forward to the next run.

Cheers,

Nice photo Bob, and that ADM R32 looks great.

The first half of the trip was wonderful.

That off-road part really surprised me tho... Like.. RRRRRREEEEEEEAAAAAAALLLLLLLLY...

TBH I did freak out a bit, when I finished the off-road part I was about to cry.

It had all sorts of crazy noises around the car even after we head back on normal road.

But after almost an hour of high way road all the noises have gone, the wind must blew all the sands, dust and small rocks away, hope there is nothing wrong with the car.

Still... a great day with a bit of terrifying.

Thanks mate....... Yeah..... I did feel for you.

It was like wearing a beautiful new pair of Italian leather shoes right into a cow paddock of poo........

Anyway, hoping all is well with your car. I'm sure there won't be any rally sectors next run!

Hey everyone, thank you all so much for coming along. I really had a great time and I'm hoping everyone enjoyed it as much as I did =) I do apologize for springing the off road section up on everyone. My heart was in the right place and I hope you all realized that. I promise there won't be any off road sections in future cruises.

Although we didn't hit the 40 cars target, a great show of numbers and all great looking cars. Bob, I appreciate you and your friend bringing the ADM's. I know it hurts to put some mileage on those cars. "Edifier," my sincerest apologies to you and your car =( Though I am glad you came along and showed her off =) Hope to see you and everyone else at the next cruise!

Some of the shots I took from the day

At JLM ATM, things are not looking good, all sorts of cracks and bents around body , the front bumper and lip crecked, rear diffuser bented now. Going to have a look under the car now., hope nothing mechanically wrong.

Were you guys given Google Maps of the route as recommended in Post #2?

Any warnings given about off-road section?

Any consideration via pre-planning for low slung cars?

In fact, any briefing offered at the outset?

Receiving multiple PMs of complaint (at Exec level) has not been good. :ermm:

I heard about risky overtaking at the previous cruise down the Megalong > didn't want to be part of this one...

Eugene aka JDM Performance can be PM'd about a replacement front splitter Jun. He's got a couple spare.

Was at JLM with Jun earlier - The rear exhaust flange was hit hard - and bend the rear flange... car been left there to check further if that would impact anything else to the system... The rear diffuser - bent as well as the flat part of the diffuser bent and scratched pretty badly... Front Lip chipped paint and the part where it locks to the bumper cracked...

Overall the trip was ok in the beginning - But the offroad section we were not informed off - I think that was the main issue as we all were not informed, we could have chosen not to participate in the offroad section...

Also would have needed a sweeper that knows the locations at the back of the group... That would help in avoiding people from getting lost.. Jun, My friend Gavan and myself was left behind after lunch, was slow as i had to put my kid into the car seat and Jun was blocked by another car - Gavan and myself waited for Jun before we joined back with the group further up - we just did a guess and drive moment there...

Either way - after much consideration, i just wanted to mention the above so that the next cruise could be arranged better...

Was at JLM earlier. Saw the blue vspec2. Didn't look good. Could had been avoided if we did not head the offroad section. Infact there should have been a choice given to those that attended the cruise if we wanted to head off road or not.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?

      Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it

      All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
