Thanks.

I am keen [as mentioned in GP thread].

We may end up needing a few different meet points - ppl in the city / east could meet closer to city [perhaps near docklands?], ppl in west could meet somewhere central to them [werribee plaza?] [or just geelong] and then the main point somewhere in Geelong is probably the go I reckon.

Cardinia Park / Shell Stadium in Geelong [football ground] has a pretty big car park area, and is on the main highway too! [would have to check if there is an event on for that day though].

My Bro works in Geelong. i could ask him about a meet point if need be.

FYI: from chadstone s/c to torquay takes me 1hr 15mins on a good run [speed limited to 100kmh of course].

Oh SWEET!!!

Gald i found this thread.

I'd be KEEN as. Count me in 100%

I'd love to take the R for a burn.

Is it a drive down there monday.... come back monday ?

If it's an overnighter... we can go as far as Apollo Bay and stay there.

I've got a holiday house.

Can only sleep 4-6, rest in tents.. plent of lawn space.

I'll have to work out if i can have it 100%.... depends on the level of interest.

My vote is a meet at shell staduim.

Near the end of geelong so it can be used as a catch-up point as well.

When the R31 forums come back up i'll post it over there as we are thinking of exatly the same thing that weekend :D

Sweet, finally I get to meet you guy's!

Just got my GTS-4 2 weeks ago, needs a few things done to it but will definitely go to this cruise:)

Can I suggest a meeting place?

Geelong waterfront botanical gardens, on the top carpark facing Corio Bay. It's a good place to take a few pics too:D

Any disagrements with Geelong waterfront botanical gardens? I ain't local so speak up if it ain't good. Meeting point is Geelong cause some of us NSW people don't know the ins and outs of the city. I know how to get to Geelong, but someone's gonna have to show me where this garden is. Also be on the look out for a silver R32 GTR with www.skylinesaustralia.com on the back. That's me and would appreciate if someone could help me get there.

Time, between 9 and 10am. Any good bbq spots along GOR?

    • Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!
    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
