Review of Mad Mtn 4 Cruise...


Recommended Posts

Guest Boxhead

ok since no one has done it already i will, so people upload your pics and ad what you liked disliked etc...

... Now before i start i would like to say Thankyou for dAVE and his father for letting us have the bbq and after cruise event at there house...

ok cruise was good cept we had to go a different way which was a bit different i guess and not many people knew that way...

personally my fav part was when the cows blocked us off and we were last, then as we got past the calf gave us a bit of a drag, lucky we werent in my car, or we might have had to take overdrive off to win...

its a good event, and i would incourage all who didnt come, to come for next one, and newbies to qld SAU, come along, its a good time and place to have a meet and greet when we stop , or before and after etc...

sorry i have no pics, i need a new pc..

the old guy was a tool, if i was in my car, i woulda got all my rubbish and chucked it at him... ohwell...

yeah they were funny..

hhmm, yeah apparently that guy whose indicater fell out, well he lost us, so he back tracked to hinze damn and called dave when we were at his place.. i beleive he is Biteme on here...

he didnt come down for bbq.. nothing really went on, cept a bit of chit chat, watched tv, no piss up, liek everyone had one or two, cept me and my brother, but thats it..

I lost you guys. I was following dave and MR>E and then I got stuck behind a vehicle and they then I could not see them. So I hot footed until I came to a cross road and wait for ages for someone to turn up but no one came, then I back tracked and took a right which ended up to be a dead end after 4 kms. Then went even further back and then I saw natural bridge and then I knew I was lost. So on the way back I tried to take the route that the Supra took only to find that it was closed due to fire. So drove the way we came back. Not a car in site so I did what all good drives did I travelled @ 90 km :) back home.

My best part was chasing down a Silver 33 and sitting behind him till my right indicator lens popped out. Thanks to guys for stopping and helping me out. Next time I will have to make sure the suspension is made softer. Also with all the road hopping over rises my speaker does not work. I will have to get GCCS to fix it up on wednesday.

It was funny watching that old bugger screaming out his patio. At first I thought he was peeved taht we wher making a scene in the front of his house.

Looks like I need to get a UHF. Darryl what brand did you say was good ??

All in all it was good day

When is the next one !!!

sorry about that.

i think you were following me and Nizman. Before the intersection, was there a really long straight?

we were waiting for about 5 mins, when we got a call on the uhf saying the rest were already at coles.

sorry bout that!

i am planning on getting a proper map for nextime. keep an eye out for one of the area if u see one.

also, UHf radio is a good idea. $99 for a uniden from dick smiths.

    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
    • You just gotta be really, really, really clear and decisive with what you want your end product to be. 99% of people who want this conversion aren't "I want to run a 295 front tyre!" so they don't really need the widebody. They just want the OEM body to look a little less dumpy, so bonnet, bar, skirts job done with some camber, stretch, slam. It's when you want that, but then decide to pivot later you get big problems. See also if you're willing to get an all in one fibreglass bar, and you're willing to accept fibreglass problems like cracking the entire item on a driveway, instead of just a piece attached to the bottom, etc etc etc. Decide this all before buyin'.
    • After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛
    • The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY
