yeah when i was turning around on anzac highway around 1-130ish i ended up following 5 or so nice r33s through town. i think they'd taken off from that red emblem cruise by the sounds of it. had fun cruisin with em tho even if i just happened to tag along! after that just stopped at west tce shell station then cruised back up nth with my mates in a xr6t ute and vl turbo and another fella in a schmick as candy red 4 door 33. plates were vambex or somethin like that.

Yep yep..the candy red 33 was definetely on the cruise. Initially there were about 8 skylines, and 3 DR31's....but they stayed at the car park. It was alright...and managed to stay together suprisingly. There were a few cops down the bay, but i was on the opposite side of the road so was able to smile at them :D

Once arrived at the city was a little harder to keep together.

so wot 11 ppls shared the raffle prize pool or there was no raffle

I wasn't there at the end. Some cop pulled over my brother for the sake of it. And when he didnt defect him cause he couldn't, he told my bro that some car with the same description (black 32 with white front BN bumper on - how many people have single part of body kit driving around with exact same color) was stolen and used for ram raids.

Either way, for the sake of it i pulled behind the un-marked car and was witness and listened on the discussion ..so i wasn't with the group at the last stop. So it would be prize pool between 9 :lol:

Yeh i was in hinley street about to walk in Red square when i saw like 5 - 6 skylines cruzing by.

Saturday night in hinley was packing with cops....

Like Nozila said, sounded like a "look at me CruIZe" :D

if it was the same car wouldnt his front end show signs of ram raid damage :S

My thoughts EXACTLY!! :blink: Honestly, they have been picking on him since he put a harassment charge on one of the bike coppers a while back. He's been pulled over almost consistantly each time a cop reads his number plate - the good thing is that the cop that initially started all of it got scorned by the sargeant (i cant spell sorry) for putting a defect notice which never occured when he went through regency :O .

any1 go? i didnt make it...saw a few skylines driving around at about 2am ish...

Noticed that you weren't there, even though i've never met you before :blink: There was a very nice R33 with gold rims that came, was nice.....that is besides the candy apple red 4 door 33

haha DC_GTST

didnt sound like a big cruise...i been on holden cruise in the past with my mate and there was like 50 or more cars...we need 2 do a cruise like that...they even let the cops know they hold the cruise n the cops come along n they dont have any probs...any1 like that idea or have a better1?

nah vange - these are the exact OPPOSITE of cruises that SAU people (in general) want to be involved in. The more people you have, the less control you have. The more P plater bogans rocking up, the more attention you get from the cops, and the more we become 'known' to them and make ourselves targets. Far better to keep it small groups by invitation/PM only - that way you avoid the nasty image associated with cruises ie. accidents, defect stops, pubilc nuisance etc etc - indeed if you like those things head on out on an IMFS, nissansilvia or PSI cruise :blink: (said tongue-in-cheek for any members of said groups who are offended by this comment). :P - I have been on a number of these type of cruises and whilst kind of fun (if you count being stuck behind some f**kwit in an old laser {that he thinks is heaps quick but is slow as shite} or similar through the hills as fun) they are not that great. Pretty much every one I have been on there is a major accident or defect blitz. I got stuck in the Newton shopping centre for over 2 hours last ns.com cruise I went on :O - some dickhead in a PT Cruiser that thinks he has the best stereo in the world cranked it right up at minight and attracted every cop in a 5km radius - so they blocked off the carpark entry/exits and proceeded to (or attempt to) defect pretty much every car in the carpark. :rolleyes:

yeh i know wat u mean andrew, when theres idiot drivers it stuffs up the cruise, but yeh i dont mind small 1's, but i just thought it would b nice 2 have 50 skylines driving through town n every1 going 'wowwwwwww' lol but yeh i went on a holden cruise last yr n some idiot decided to drift through the car park and into the carwash bays n slammed into the wall n just drove off haha idiot, then this guy in a xr8 came and tried 2 show off 2 the holdens by doing a burnout infront of them, and as he did it 4 cop cars surrounded him hahahaha.

I guess once bitten...twice shy, hey Andrew. I was fortunate to have missed that Newton car park fiasco.

Vange: Even if u have a large cruise & let the cops know its no guarantee that people will not act likes hoons or stop the police from defecting u. This was demonstrated in the last charity cruise that went down to Victa, where I was told there was like 1 cop for every 5 cars & more money was raised from fines & defects. Not the type of cruise u'd want to go on.

Ive also found that the cruises kept small & oraganised through emails/ PMs have all gone with out a hitch. Also, I know that the police have a rating (1-6) for each meet/ hot spots which, u should be aware of when selecting meet spots. They normally have undercover patrolling these spots :D.

Last night, drving along some rd past city, having my 3 mates in my skyline i see a Red skyline with some werid looking spoiler in the rear mirror.

He gun it! n took over me pretty bad... I hope u feel hardcore...over taking a non turbo with 3dudes in da car.

    • Cheers. Skyline is back on the menu, can’t get rid of it. It’s like a child you don’t want, or herpes 
    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
