Well that was a truly awesome night... roma was a huge turn out. A big thx to the r31 club for bringing back the old skool, that gts-r was very nice (wing would look good on Pete’s 180sx ay belgarion :))

That bmw with the rb25det was a work of art and the owner was a bit of a champ to :) over 300rwhp at 15psi is a good effort and the engine bay was immaculate.

The cootha crooz was good except for the fog! Seeing 30 odd skylines croozin down milton rd was a classic though :D

We had lost a few ppl by the time we hit gravat but there was still a strong skyline presence on top of the mountain (hmm where have i heard that before *cough* bathurst *cough*) lol

That celica in the burnout pit was hilarious.. getting all cut cause he stalled the car trying to do a burnout and couldn't get it started again :D. Nice burnout from the red r32 with the trust fmic and a little chirpy from yours truly :P

Only had enough time to check out a big pair of subs pumpin in the back of a vl before we were on our way to the gold coast, plenty of action down logon rd with belgarion trying to race me at EVERY red light ;). That midnight blue 4 door r32 looked and sounded wicked. Its big zorst was all i could hear over bel's and my stock zorst.

We stopped at coomera and lost everybody then after we got on the M1 again we saw one of the V8 pursuit car’s pulling over a red r33, sure enough the cop was soon tail gateing me and he pulled me over and threatened to have my car impounded. kept my cool though and he let us off with a warning, told me my regeo had been sent to every cop on the coast and if i was seen at bwcp it was good buy skyline, hello impound fees :wave:

So headed to mudgerabah shell where everyone was anyway, BIG turn out there with easily 100 cars all up and down the road. Caught up with bel and that red r33 again (he got a warning too) and headed back up to coomera. Lots of races happening on the M1 but i was taking it pretty easy. Driving next to bel i noticed pete was passed out on the door, he looked almost as green as bels car and sure enough just as we were pulling off the M1 at coomera the power hurl came streaming out the window. Good work form pete to not spewing in the car, thats what happens when u drink and crooz :)

Was bout 12 by then so we called it a night, croozed back to my mates and watched the video of the nights activities, hes no Spielberg but theres a few bits i'll rip to divx and upload.

All in all a very enjoyable night... whens the next one!?!?! :D

going up to Mt Gravatt lookout was pretty hairy, nearly took out two cars on some of those tight bends, and MR>E was taking it pretty hard so i had a hard time keeping up with him. Had to leave after the lookout due to the fact that i should have been studying for my exam which is tommorow. Had a go at a WRX on the way to Mt Gravatt which was pretty fun. He thought he was pretty tough flying past me but got a fright when i got right up his arse and he couldn't shake me (all while keeping the speed limit :rolleyes: )

Never expected quite so many cars and am glad to see the riising number of 33's around (even if they look like whales :bahaha: ) Something like this definately needs to be done again but how about during the day so we can take a big group photo and actually see where we are going because Mt Cootha was pretty hairy with all that fog and it's hairy enough when you can see

the cops have so much power now they could impound a car that just rolled out of the factory, best not to **** with em...

i wanted to go to bwcp so my mate could get it on film but everyone was croozin too the shell instead so it kinda worked out well.

there were at least 100 cars at the shell, it was mad

mick - but if they impounded your car for no reason im sure you could find some legal stuff to get you out of it, and get them to pay for your lost revenue (money spent on getting to and from work etc) if them impounding your car wrongfully...

damn cops, i dont mind the impound rule, if it is not abused.

Good stuff

It was awesome to see the parade of tail lights down Milton road. Mt Cootha was great fun, I came up the back way, reminds me of Twmba in the winter with the fog. Good to finally have some oxygen rich air again

I was designated as the taxi driver so headed off after Maccas on Milton.

Went to Dysons Dyno day at the G Coast yesterdsay. Shit loads of Skylines! My bros RX7 posted 317 hp, very happy with that....

Sounds like a great night!

I got lost going to Roma St :) was planning on getting there at about 9ish but had no ****ing clue where i was going once i got off the freeway lol

I need to cruise up from gc with a local next time, ive been on the gc for 2 months but still have no idea where to go in brissy! I was sure i knew where Roma St was, but i ended up around shopping centre... I had a mate up from melb so we just ended up driving around then heading home... I saw a blue line and tried to pull him over thinking it might have been one of u guys... but to no avail...

Im gonna have to invest in a street directory! At lerast until i get familiar with brissy... :lol: :lol: :lol:

If you're coming up from the coast....

Follow the blue line.... take the turbot street exit, get over into the far right lane and then turn left under the street then get over into the right lane and turn into the parklands... its just before the large building on the right hand side of the road

The skidpan day will also be a big cruise, last time we did that about 30 cars turned up, i think this time it will be bigger.

No one crashed which was good.

p.s Mt Cootha gets foggier than that, and it gets veeeery interesting :P

If you like going for a run on the mountains, check out the Mad Mountain Run thread, as this is a wicked day. (and put your hand up for Sunday)

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
