Anyway I have to say that I nearly didn't go on the cruise!

Everyone went up the F3 except for me and I didn't know who I was meant to follow.

I ended up going up through Hornsby/Asquith/Mt Colah on the Pac Hwy and I was hollering "anybody out there?!" on the CB all the way. Luckily somebody answered near the Berowra exit and I met up with you guys.

Thanks to menthu for hooking me up with the CB. Saved my arse today. Still, next time I need to get some mobile numbers just in case the CB is out of range. :angry:

that was me man with my 0.5w $40 cb.... i could hear u for a bit then u couldnt hear me but lucky i answered ur calls coz no one else did :)

maybe its the driver = (me :blink: ) but yeah just havent push my car to the limit yet...................... just those corners are pretty scary since i dont know the dam road but it was a good day nice to see the sun out though :angry:

there was actually a 3rd crash on the old pacific highway today.. i went for a bit of a spin up there not long ago with some mates and the whole road was blocked off as another 2 bikies came off...not sure how bad though.

If there were Emmy awards for SAU Cruise videos, Menthu Rae and I would get one... just reviewing the video we took up to Avoca and back today, it is THE BEST!!!!  Over 1 hour of quality and not-so-quality footage :)  Comes complete with trance soundtrack and thundering Skyline engine sounds.

However, I'm not too sure about posting it up on the internet - some very incriminating stuff there :angry:

i have to get a copy of some of those videos, was a really good run back with u, up the old pac :blink:

I'm not sure whats up with those crazy bikers.. on the way home by myself having a nice leisurely cruise down the old pac (that was before i got swarmed by the bunch of skylines including mr yellow non-turbo :angry:.. i let them (the bikers) all pass because they were always up your a$$. Depending how stupid they were, there's a chance they could be overtaking on the wrong side of the road across double NON broken lines!

I also noticed all the road signs... instead of having the sign where it has the car symbol and showing a windy road.. it has the bike and the windy road, yet they still keep going off :)

    • 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
