Congrats to Erin and team for a Very well organised day, the kids had a great time.

A shame about the yellow 33 running up the back of the the other 33 just infront of us. But other than that it went hassle free.

It was good to meet everyone esp hi to Afro love the 34 nice colour dude.

Luckily the drit road didn't go for very long (34 no like dirt).

Bring on MSC4

Cheers:cheers:

CYA34

Last cruise had 77 including 1 cefiro :D

There is going to be an article submitted by Dave/Andrew and I to HPI and QSC so we'll see what happens. Thanks to JustDave especially for his photos on the day :)

Yeh i was wondering about this, like having 85 skylines for a cruise isnt a good article for HPI etc :)

theres no good shots of all of us together though :)

Long as i get some coverage ill be happy! :headspin:

lol yeh i can drive manual too, auto aint so bad, i put alot of manual gtst's to shame

all those who have had to replace their clutch more than once in the last 6 months 'grunt' :kick:

Besides, a car should be looked at as a whole, not just its transmission :wassup:

maybe for the next msc you should try and get some hpi people to come along?

SAUWA was in HPI recently, nowhere in australia besides brissy do they have cruises with 80+ skylines, and im sure if there was word of HPI coming that the next MSC would quite easily surpass 100 :(

Yeah thanks Erin for a well planned cruise.

I thoroughly enjoyed the run, although I am suffering the consequences of not putting sunscreen on before getting to the lake - one half of my body is red and crispy, the other is white! :Oops:

The only downsides that I either witnessed or heard of:

- the unfortunate incident between the two Skylines - it made me want to cry and they weren't even my cars! Anyone got any pics of either cars? I didn't get to see the yellow Skyline up close, but from close inspection of the Gold Coast Skyline with cool tint job, it certainly wouldn't be looking pretty right about now (and neither will the bank balance!!!).

- the cunning tosser that thought he might be able to boost some wheels with all those Skylines around - WTF!!!

- seeing a fellow Skyliner being pulled over (and breathalised I think) on the way home

- losing all the Sunshine Coast cruisers and having to go home early :)

Perhaps the Sunshine Coast leg of the cruise could be planned ahead for those interested next time??

Other than that, I really enjoyed my first MSC - I look forward to the next one!

    • Great work! Thanks for documenting the process.
    • How would you even adjust the clutch if the pedal already has the correct free play? The operating cylinder has no adjustment in mounting position or rod length. On pull style clutches there is also no ability to adjust the bearing carrier. Push type I can see how adjusting the carrier height makes it all work.   If this is the twin plate clutch did you verify that your friction disks were oriented correctly? It's not mentioned in the directions at all you just have to notice that one side the friction disks have a part number on the hub fingers and a subtle coning to those fingers. Another thing that I noticed was if you put the friction disks in backwards the pressure plate fingers will not be even and flat when the clutch is installed.
    • yeah, mechanically, it is probably do-able, off the top of my head, there would be the transfer case, which I believe will bolt up to the rear of the RWD transmission, the shorter rear tail shaft. A front drive shaft, front diff, engine upper sump, front drive shafts, front hubs and front AWD struts (they are shaped around the front drive shafts), LCAs (at the very least from the front suspension) oil cooler.  You might want the rear diff from an AWD too, so you can be certain the front and rear diff rations are identical.  Who knows what brackets and mounts you might need.  So a whole doner car might be the best option if you need to maintain RHD. Then actually making it work, that would be a whole different story.
