I'm goin from the sunny coast however I am thinking I might tag onto the back of the cruise as it goes past me in caloundra rather than drive to bne then back the way I came and then out to Somerset  :)

What to the fellow Sunny Coasters think :(

Gives me chance to sleep in and save fuel  :lol:

Last year the cruise didn't follow the Bruce Hwy north to the Sunshine Coast - we headed north west from Aspley and came through the hinterland (out Woodford-Maleny way) to Lake Baroon... this year we aren't going as far north, and as far as I'm aware, we're still heading north west from Aspley (not via Bruce Hwy), so I'm not quite sure where in Caloundra we are going to pass you... ;)

I heard from one of my co-workers who is a member of FORDLASER.COM that there is a cruise out to Somerset on the same day for them. Might not hurt to hit them up for some donations also. I mean, I know they are not Skylines but they do have wallets and it is for the kids.

You are one hundred percent correct!

I agree with 85urk, that way we all start together and that way we dont get lost, left behind etc. if the main meet departure time is 10 then lets say meet at moby vics at 9 for a 9:10-9:15 depart which should allow us plenty of time to compensate for traffic. What u sunny coasters think

Ok, local update!

It turns out that I forgot I have my anniversary weekend getaway with Katrina that same weekend.

So I guess I'll see you all there then hey!

I'm trying to convince her that we can leave early on sunday morning and meet up at the dam. I may have to crew up with the Goldcoast boys on this one.

Ok.. i think i was lost there...where's Moby Vic ?

how about all of the Sunny coasters meeting up at BP in Caboolture and all head down to Aspley instead..? wouldn't that be easier ? ( for me anyway :D )

say be there by 9am for the 9:15 depature ?

Those asking for a map of the route, yes I normally do this, and yes I will be. Please give me a chance to do so.

We will be heading out this weekend to do a scouting run and will hopefully (time permitting) have an itinery up for you on Sunday night.

I agree that the Sunny Coasters should probably just start the cruise from Aspley (c'mon guys, it's a bit of extra fuel and a little less sleep, but it's for the kids! :D ), but I'm cool with meeting up at whatever servo along the way... we'll just need to clarify which servo is which!

(which big one has Maccas/KFC/etc., and has a twin on the other side of the hwy?)

For all you Sunny coast cruisers

I'm for the BP as it has better coffee :):D:):blink:

Plus it has maccas and KFC

Plus better fuel and parking (flat)

How about we all meet there at 9am? or maybe 8.45 if we wanna eat ;) Whats the verdict?

Sounds good to me... B)

sounds like a plan, which BP servo are we meeting at just to be 100% certain.  the moby vic side (heading towards brisbane) or or caboolture/beerwah side (headin towards the sunnycoast)

I would think the one on the east side (heading towards Brissy)...

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
