Well my take is that I'm still going.. meet up with most of the melb crew as they come off exit of the Western Ring Road onto the Westgate freeway. I'll go as far as geelong and meet at the gardens there with whoever turns up there. From there I'll just play it by ear I think as to whether I go on further to Apollo Bay.

If the weather is too bad, or there is not much turnout by Geelong, then I might then just call it a day and head back.

Western District Forecast

********************

Forecast: Tonight and Monday

Isolated showers and drizzle patches chiefly near the coast and about the Otways. A mild and partly cloudy day with a moderate to fresh southeasterly wind.

I might follow your idea predator and wait and see what the weather is like at Geelong..............

yeah well it was an awesome day, nice weather, nice conditions on road, nice cornering, very very fun, going back through the ottways made it a bit better to, even though it was wet it was foggy and the corners were pretty challenging, at least the day helped me get to know my car a whole lot better, not long now and i can be a pro dragster :D (i wish :D)

im sure everyone had fun though,. was a very successful cruise, my gratitude goes to silver-arrowz for coming up with the idea, and nice beast btw man!!!

yes i must agree and i must add that u ppl that didnt come that said u would suck the balls of tiny elephant men with gigantor paddles for penises... u damn right! :D

had a ball... i got a fair bit of video as my gf was in the passenger seat... unfortunately she was too busy being terrified to death to keep the damn thing pointing on the rd ahead lol

will post up some pics and vids later on.

thanks to all that came and made it such a great day.

yeh I had cool fun today.

Hey all u ppl with cams on the day. Post some pics of. Especially the ones from when we had all the cars lined up on a angle!

After today I can't wait to get my turbo back done heh.

Hey nark some vids would be cool too :)

Yeah it was awesome just cruising the twisties with all the the stove tops lined up, and especially cruising back to Melbourne through the ottways was awesome, can't wait for the next cruise.

Yeah guys, those with digi cams should post some pics of the day.

What can I say about today....WHEN IS THE NEXT ONE!!!

awsome day....It was great to meet other forum members and their cars....such a nice/friendly bunch of people...

I'll be getting my photos processed tomorrow and will post tham ASAP.

It was a very fun day. Shame that i had to leave early as my mates had other places that they had to be. But what is more important than driving around with a pack of skylines?

I ended up going through the otways on the way home. Rather wet and got stuck behind a commodore station wagon that just wouldn't let me past. Just like the way down to Apollo Bay. Damn traffic.

But it was good to meet everyone. We have to do it all again.

was goood...nuff said. You had to be there to experience it :)

photos into the developers tomorrow as my film of skyline is out (some dyno day stuff in there too).

Hopefully none of us have little speeding notices in the mail. Thats what I'm always affraid of these days :D not that it stops me speeding much!

    • 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.
