Well it's finally here! The scouting has been done and the pace notes written. Now it's time for all of you skyliners to show your support and break records!

This Massive Skyline Cruise (MSC) has been organised this time round to involve kiddies/wives/husbands/uncles/aunties/grandparents for a great family day out. HELL, bring the dog if you so desire.

Date: 28th November 2004

Time: 9:30am for a 10:00am departure

Location: Aspley HyperMarket Carpark. The carpark closest to the intersection of Albany Creek Road and Gayford Street/Maundrell Terrace.

Requirements: Skyline of any make/model. UHF Radio and a sense of adventure. FULL TANK OF PETROL! I can't stress this enough.

Destination: Lake Baroon. Gorgeous picturesque views of the lake and surrounding mountains. PLENTY OF PARKING. This location is up north out past Maleny/Beerwah/Woodford.

We did the scouting run around the time that we are going to set off on this cruise. There was very minimal traffic around this time of the morning. Trip is a good one and a half to two hours with stops scheduled in between for stretching the kiddies legs and toilet stops.

As mentioned, there are tables and bbq areas for those that bring their own food. There is also a canteen thing that provides fresh sandwiches, breadrolls, refreshments and icecreams. I will be phoning them to let them know of our intentions and to have extra food on hand for this particular day.

There are also lake activities at this spot. You can hire a boat/paddler/canoe and investigate the lake closer (I have information on the prices for these activities). There is a playground to keep the kiddies (or parents) entertained. If you feel the need to do some exercise, theres a bush walking track.

Once people have consumed their food and had a good break, we will be heading back east towards the Bruce Highway where people can choose to either go back to Brisbane or continue onto the Sunshine Coast for some sunday afternoon laps.

This cruise has specifically been set up for during the day so that it gives families a great day out, as well as some great photo/video opportunities.

Lets break the record of 77 skylines from the last MSC!! Let all your friends know and be there or be square. I am giving you over 6 weeks notice.

There will be no irresponsible behaviour or driving tollerated on this cruise.

Stagea's and Cefiros are invited to participate in this cruise if they wish.

It's probably worth drawing everyones attention to the recent media coverage of the EVLR34 crash in NSW... Once again, a stupid mistake by the driver of a Skyline has brought even more unwanted attention on us a community...

On Sunday, whilst we are "cruising for the kids", a HEAP of modified car owners are having a memorial cruise for those who lost their lives in the EVLR34 crash... It is a sad time, that's for sure, but I don't think we should let that stop us from having a good time...

What I will ask though, is for us ALL to be on our best behaviour on Sunday... Lets stick to the speed limits, keep the rubber on our tyres, and leave the racing for the track... We've all had our "fun" before on other "cruises", but IMO, Sunday is not the day for that sort of thing...

We will be on display as a community, so lets not make our image any worse to the general population... We're in the bad books as it is...

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
