fair enough...so why not just organise the event like that so that it is covered, thereby benefitting from this CAMS affiliation in 1 of the ways you set out to do?

We do all the time, we've had loads of cruises this year, and various events.

You have to be a financial member of the club to

1) attain cover,

2) be covered.

3) find out about cruises

lol, wasn't tryin to be smart, but there is always a way to get out of something like that...who said anything was "organised" thousands of cars drive around every day....

Tat excuse or "reason" wont go through a court mate. Go try it

People are stupid, nor is a judge.

when i buy a skyline, i definitely will become a financial member...

how much is it?

please read the sticky thread at the top of the section.

All the stickies should be read.

They contain valuable information.

NOTE: The links are not working withing the thread itself at present. Ill endeavour to fix that this weekend but i dont have the time cuyrrently to go searching for stuff im dont neccasarily know where to find it yet.

yeah i just read it..thanks mate...ill have to wait for the links though...

sounds like a nice package...stickers, lanyard etc...ill look into it when i get a skyline! (soon :P)

having said all that, i dont even own a skyline YET, but i'll be up for a cruise. cruises are just good fun (as long as no one ruins it with stupid behaviour that can ruin it for everyone) and it'd be a good chance to meet some of you guys and check your cars out...

the thing with stupid behaviour is, its usually burnouts etc, but what those people dont realise is, that each and every car on that cruise can do it...its a cruise, therefor, the idea is to cruise! ive been on a few cruises (ford club) and you always notice that someone wants to speed to get in front etc....the idea is to just cruise. you'll all end up at the same place anyway, and there's no point gettin there first without the rest of the cars!

Totaly agree.

Theres all ways one dickhead that ruins it for the rest. I have organised a cruise for this sunday down the great ocean road, I was thinking about possibly informing the police of it. Reason been, they would probably be at our meet points just to keep an eye out on whats going on, so the "hero's" don't do burnouts and what have you, so we don't suddenly become a pack of trouble cruising half way around Victoria's coast line. It's a leasure cruise to appreciate our own, and each others cars and to enjoy a nice drive on a good day, not a pack of wanker jetpilots screaming down to Lorne.

I decided not to inform the police due to most people will probably be scared off.

dont even bother.

they wont even bother to showup anyway.

If there happens to be another "japanese import" on the GOR and being stupid, they will automatically assume its your group and hammer you all.

Ive never informed the police in 3 years.

Having said that, they have never hassled us either really apart from years ago when we went through a defect station on a late night meet in 2002 :D

dont bother informing the cops mate....it can work against you...

they can see that as a chance to have 25+ defectable imports all together...canary anyone?

dont say "yeah but my car is legal"

from what i've been told many many times, a cop can defect a car straight out of the showroom...so he/she will have no trouble defecting a skyline.

...............from what i've been told many many times, a cop can defect a car straight out of the showroom...

:P All cars are ADR complient from show room, i really think ppl are just talkin shit. I don't think cops are silly enough to take on car manufacturers, on what is legal and what isn't.

i tend to agree with you mate...everyone always says it, but never backs it up with what can actually be defected on a brand new car...

none the less, he/she will have no problem defecting 25 skylines

lol

ye man, didnt u organise a small cruise a few months back? how did that go? many people?

i wouldnt mind going 4 a cruise along as there r a few cars!

To right mate, to right.

"I posted my cruise as a joke because every time people organise a cruise, other people bitch about fuel and time ( mean while if you read the forums, every one is asking why there aren't more) so I was casualy driving down the road and 15 - 20  skyline lines started following me, your honour".....

As RBN1 said, we own modified performance cars what are you doing owning one if your going to bitch about the price of fuel. What are you a fuc_ing idiot for buying a fuel guzzler? Well yes, only the people who can't afford them or bought one for the sake of owning a "skyline" ever winge..

Fair enough your not going to drive 300kms for no reason at a $1.25 a litre, but if theres a cruise going on then wash your pride and joy and take her out.

I fell in love with skylineline's the first day I saw one and finally I have one to call my own, with that, knowing I would mod' it I was well aware of the cost that runs with the fun.

amen to that :rant:

btw off topic of crusies but i think i may have seen u round sunbury a few times dude ( my cuzn n her b/f live there )

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
