good cruise guys, i enjoyed winding roads and the warm weather untill it started 2 rain. When the rain started on some big bend, i could feel my back end comming out, thank god for 4 wheel steer.

Also, the scariest thing happend, at the start of the cruise... on a sharp long left turn, i sware this 180sx on the other side of the rd missed me by cm's, he was at least a meter in on my side of the rd...

Yeh i noticed most were r33's, would have been nice 2 c some r34's and a few more GTR's...maybe next time, as the weather will be getting better so we should do this again soon.

do you guys run 4 wheel steer, mine has a lock bar. and with coilovers [low, hard]

wheelspin is a issue, especially in the wet :blink:

great cruise, was really fun through the twisties.

i think you where behind us on the corner, my brother had to swerve, he was cm's from our car too, the guy in the (180sx/300zx) was heaps far into our lane!... scary stuff..

great cruise though :D

Big thanks to Guy and all for a great day. Great route spoilt only by the rain and some shitty traffic.

Very nice cars that you all have, put the old poverty pack beast to shame.

Gee, didn't notice any traction problems though. mmmm, oh yes thats right, bugger all rwkw does that. :D

Apologies to anyone I didn't speak with, I was in full bullsh_t mode most of the day.

Lets do it again soon.

Cheers

bloody idiot...prob thought hed show off when he saw the first few skylines....

the best guy was near the end...the guy hanging out the window shouting "YEAHHHHHHH" lol

throughout cruise towards gods know where - i didnt have a map, but the 1st stop point, the white mr2 was close to my arse. now i have an open mind bout cars but i didnt know that it was that fast, didnt happen to be turbs was it (bathurst edn?) - im sure i heard a psshh of some sort from it. either way, nice car you have their mate.

yeah Julian's MR2 definitely is turbs - I went for a burn in it for a while on the cruise - it is remarkably fast, and I had underestimated it too!! It is very weird having the blow-off valve 'pssssht' coming from behind your head!

I went for a burn in it for a while on the cruise

taking bout going for a burn, i wonder how the s15 would have coped on those twisties in the hills - i think that where we were heading back to adel. could have shown us some powerslide/power over demonstrations - i know i know you aint into drifting :P . but thats the exact reason why the sil80 didnt come out, hills+tight corners+wet roads+sr20=shit my pants. on that note, how was your controlling of the 200sx Leo? any of these mentioned desciptions happen to you? :lol:

yeah I was too paranoid about bending/scraping it on the cruise to take her in the hills (as you know both bumpers plus some other bits were painted at Prestige last week). But she is totally built for it - you would not believe the speed you can push it into corners and she just leans in and holds. But yes, it is suprisingly easy if you don't know what you are doing to unweight and start sliding. It is all about tyre choice really .... pretty much all tyres up to my current set would spin up in the twisties. Except of course my Toyo T1-S that lasted a whole 7,000km of street use :P

pretty much all tyres up to my current set would spin up in the twisties

that would have been a nice challenge against Will's ls1 and of corse viewing pleasure. who can spin their wheels the most and longest :) surprisingly nobody challenged him, were such a bunch of pansy's!! :P

hehe yeah, its a jap spec mr2... none of this non-turbo aus spec nonsense :D

handles like a gokart - much fun :D

suspension is pretty stiff combined with 40 profile tyres, its skips alot over bumpy surfaces which isn't so good through corners.

Considering it's virtually stock, it goes alright. Would love to do some mods, but I have other financial plans so it's hard to justify :D

I am very impressed with the grip/handling of S15's... my mate has one and it is amazing.

As you say Andrew, tyre choice is a big factor. Think I might give some Potenza S03's a go for my next set. They come highly recommended.

i bet the mr2 handles like a go-kart.

my sil80 doesnt like to grip at all, must be the advan avoera's i have.

for the next cruise, would be nice to see some variety in the skyline family...more 34's and r32's not to mention stagea's

Speaking of Stagea's where where you bwilkinson???????? still havn't seen your machine yet! Definatly need some 34's hint hint Andrew hint hint. My mate will be getting his 2 door black 34 soon, from compliance! will have to get him out also!

Sorry didn't make it to the BBQ on Sunday and get to meet you all. Sporting a real good hang over and wanted to get back home before it got dark and those large grass hoppers (Roos) started getting around. Was a good day apart from the rain. Keep me posted for the next one.

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
