:ufo: Greetings..i have come for peace.

Just wanna know if any one from the Sunshine Coast area are going to the Massive Skyline Cruize this sunday ?

If so...are you going to drive down to the meeting place or just meet them at Lake Baron which is closer ?

Let me know what you guys think...we could all go together. :cheers:

Roger, i'm sick of hearing your car go up the damn street every day, please find another way home, its making me car sick!!! :) I'm trying to get my mate in the burgandy r33 with the decals and the plate 51ZLA to go. I'll post up tommorow and tell ya whats happenin.

Hey mat, wasup with the cops stopping u ? or zisla rather,. did he get the defect or somnething ? i just saw the picture,.so wats up ?

hey i was there for a bit,.went to get some food but the que was terrible and i get impatient when im hungry ...LOL.. so decided to head to the town for some food,..i did a u turn and yeah,..saw the maroon line..i was gonna stop but the GF is hungry aswell he he.

Hey Blinkstar...are u in the blue wrx ? yeah..i think the server was down before the cruize..i was actually hoping a reply from mat...i did post some stuff but for some reason it wasn't posted on here..but anyways..i did the same and catch up at the Lake.

well..if u see us around..give us a wave...hope your line may rest in peace.

hey guys missed tha cruise!!!!!!!!! was actually on another cruise up at maleny with a mate i was driving his car, a gt forester cruise. seen a heap of R31's up there on the way home. i didnt even check to see if there was a cruise on today! doh! oh well il have to come to the next one i suppose. and nismo33 we out cruisin in anouther car now if u see us holla, were in a black gt forester. so now there is my line, the 200sx and the forrester! too many cars!! anyway holla if u see us.

Yeah just saw this thread now as well - maybe just a tad too late...

For the record, I decided to head down to Aspley and go all out for my first cruise. In hindsight, if the afternoon is left open for some Sunshine Coast cruising, perhaps some organisation may be of some help.

As it turned out, I was in one of 6 cars that ended up doing a lap around Mooloolaba in search of some more Skylines, but it kinda died down pretty quickly so I went home after that.

Was there a pre-organised cruise scheduled around the coast that I was unaware of??

Either way, it was a great day out, but like many, I am suffering the consequences of not putting sunscreen on BEFORE getting to the lake... :Oops:

You should have read your itinery :(

The MSC ended at Lake Baroon officially, but the itinery showed instructions on how to get back to the highway. Then you had the choice of heading to the sunny coast, or heading home. There was nothing organised after Lake Baroon, just instructions on how to get out of there :)

We headed home with the majority of the people who left at that time, maybe one or two headed to the sunny coast. Alot of people stayed at the Lake for schwimming or whatever.

Yeah I'm aware that the MSC officially ended at the lake, but for those that were heading to the S'Coast, it may have been handy to have worked something out (not blaming Erin here either - like I said, in hindsight, one of us S'Coasters could/should have planned the S'Coast arvo cruise).

actually i was also one of the 5 who cruized around mooloolaba..if i remember there was 2 r32's and 3 R33's...i sort of just caught up with them actually..and they're actually from brisbane who decided to come down for some afternoon laps..just in luck that i took the caloundra turn offs and thats where i saw those other 4 skylines and decided to join them.

it was pretty cool driving with along with other skylines..i would have imagined 86 other skylines..would be awesome...unfortunately,.i missed the cruize and just met up at the lake instead..

so yeah...there were really no plans about the sunshine coast arvo cruize..pretty much on their own.

yeh i was one of those other skylines that hit the sunny coast...grey 32.

was a good way to finish of the day...parked up and had a good chat with some of the other fellas and then late in the day decided to head back home...pitty the traffic on the highway was shocking that time of day took sooo long to get home...and it was the last thing you needed after it being soo hot and getting really good drivers arm burn.

anywayz was a very awesome day and would be at the next one for sure.

thanx to the organisers

Jason

eah i was on the silver R33 gtst..and i parked next to grey R32,.we sort of stoped down the wharf for some chat and my GF took the dogs for a walk..didn't stay long though coz i had to get ready for work.

hey Jaystar,.if you were the one driving the grey R32 who i parked next to at the wharf..apologies if you think i cut you off when i took over on the other lane..those idiots behind you cut me off at mooloolaba exit..so i took over and squiz myself a bit to be in line with other skylines..also they were driving very stupid if you have noticed,.they were all over the place..but hey..im not sure if we were introduce.

roger here.

yeh i saw the car you were talking about..as we were going into mooloolabah they were swerving over the road like a v8 super car that has the pace car out and trying to keep tyres warm. I dont even know what it was...some old dunga with big speed stripes all down it. And yeh u did cut me off a bit but it was all good...just trying to get away from those losers. We ended up losing them at that shared zone i think anywayz because i boosted it after the rest of yous and they were still waiting lol.

anywayz was an alright way to finish the day i loved the paint on the white 32 it looked sooo good and the stereo in the white 33 was a bit of a surprise very nice setup...but as i said the traffic on the way home was shocking.

Hope to see some of you guys out and about again. I went on this cruise knowing no one besides my mate in the car and still had a ball and was probs one of the last to come home.

Ohh by the way im Jason

anywayz lata

heya all..

me and another skyliner are planning to have a BBQ this sunday at Lake Baroon..it would be an awesome drive...so feel free to join us...and oh..it's BYO food and drinks.

depending on weather..but so far the plans is to leave Mooloolaba before 11am.

so come and join us...anyone ? it would be great to meet up.

    • Cheers. Skyline is back on the menu, can’t get rid of it. It’s like a child you don’t want, or herpes 
    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
