Hello

We would like to thank everyone who emailed and replied in the forums for our formal ride.

As some people may have forgot, I was looking for 4-5 skylines to drop us off at our end of year formal, what better way to arrive ey.

Bass Junky, Adzmax, NismoR34 and Paulr33 took the offer and drove us to the formal.

I can safely say that we are still smiling from last night's event. :(:)

As this was our first experience of a turbo and a skyline you have left one hell of an impression, what better way to experience it for the first time than in Peter's highly modified beast.

We are still craving for more and my friends are trying to come up with an excuse where we may have another ride.

The skylines were the talk of the formal as every car was an old limo and boy did people envy us haha.

Also thanks goes out to GTIARR, Leewah and Golgo for offering their rides but due to external factors were unable to attend.

NismoR34 if you wouldnt mind sending or uploading the pictures you took as I plan on professionally printing and framing the beach scene.

Thanks again to the people who attended and the SAU forum which made this possible.

You guys rock!

More pictures can be found here.

If you want the original size of the picture please email or PM me.

Some pictures may be blurry due to the fast acceleration from Bass Junky's R34 :P

I also have two video's but will only post once i get a confirmation from Bass Junky

Thats enough talk out of me, now to show some pics :D

Thanks all

- Patrick

good stuff mate, great idea, somethin different from the limo's, and what a way to be different. would have been awesome

well done to all the boys that offered their cars. I would love to have a car that people would want in somethin like that.

haha, the video's arent anything spectacular and are becoming overated because you cant see it :P

The video's are nothing illegal, just some take-off's from lights and my camera can’t record sound so nothing special.

I'll wait till Boost Junky replies in this thread if i should bother uploading.

Another thanks to Paul for having enough space for three people in the car.

Formal wasn’t that great, apart from our physics teacher (Romanian with a large beard) popping some moves on the dance floor.

After the formal had finished, my friends agreed that they would gladly pay $60 each to keep on driving rather than the formal dinner.

So if you four, Bass Junky, Adzmax, NismoR34 and Paulr33, are ever free we will be waiting eagerly to see those 4 round lights :)

Thanks

As requested I have uploaded the video's but dont expect them to be good.

Video 1:

Bass Junky and AdzMax were next to each other

Video 2

Bass Junky and AdzMax leaving lights

Nothing great but at least something.

Enjoy

Thanks

EDIT - R31Nismoid - PM if issues

Yeh Bass I did see you wave and waved back. Knew it was you because of the Nismo(right?) kit.

About "volvo", when we had the stagea meet in Melbourne, I told the other guys that I had debaged my car (removed Stagea/RSFOUR badges) and they then asked "why the hell would you do that, now even more people will call you a volvo?". Well, as long as only the people that I want to know about my car do, and the general public dont, I can live with that. (confusing sentance)

Though, I still find many many/most import drivers are oblivious to me.

Ill keep myself updated on the SAU VIC events and make sure ill attend the next BBQ/Meet. There is some Christmas BBQ isnt there? Ill arrange to become a member this week and send off all my stuff.

    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
