It's a bit strange that front bar thing, I was under the impression they came from the factory as a 3 piece front bar..... :P

Sorry Liz, I don't speak English. :P

yeh hey.. it was my first cruise aswell.. was actually kinda fun.. pretty much everything went smoothly and was a bundle of fun altogether.. im lookin forward for the next cruise most definetly..

oh btw.. i dont have a pic of my skyline.. but for you guys who were there.. im the guy who had the r33 rb25de who was wearing white singlet and jeans and a red sydney swans hat.. heh..

oh and later on after the cruise.. oh.. and dont underestimate the de

clearly..

Cruise went well despite my car being so high. I am certainly not going on another one until I get coilovers. Those bumpy roads and corners made hard work of my stock suspension. Everyone was friendly and it was a good day.

wait til u get coilovers then you will know what hard work is with bumpy roads to be honest iam seriously thinking of going back to original gtr suspension and taking the tein coilovers off coz the ride is too hard over bumpy roads my car was just going from side to sideskipping all over the road

only real good thing about tein coiovers is the car holds the road a lot better at high speed doesnt bounce so much then

I found the Greddy suspension on the GTR shocking on the country roads.Some of the randon passing in silly places was not good, poor Zac near hit a car that was somewere a car should not have been but overall a lot better than the average cruz But Dan-Liz cruz's are like that so thanks to them.

Well said Ant....

Gary - I didnt get to say goodbye to your two gorgeous daughters! I turned around and you guys had left. Glad they had a good time as well :P

Nathan - so will you be providing us with some danishes next time :P Jokes!

liz my appoligies buti neededto gethome and get some sleep ( starting work @ 1 am sucks big time)

actually the 2 little girls are my youngest 2 step kids the elder of the 2 is disabled (autistic) so she is very much handful when we go out so that limits our time as well

Yeah.....and i thought road work lanes were for roadwork.......nearly got a crappy looking hood ornament from some moron!

Otherwise not a bad cruise.

is that talking about the moron going up the closed lane leading up to the lights wehad to turn at ( highway bypass )

Are you serious? I live in the hills and have driven those types of roads for years on stock suspension and its alot more smoother ride than with the aftermarket kit I have now. I even did MC on stock suspension for a year.... :) cornering is no problem, if you dont mind a bit of body roll on the car :)

Viper...I think its funny that you want to go coilovers for bumpy roads :) Actually coilovers are designed for smooth track use and can be a pain to use on ozzie roads. You actually need a suspension with a bit of give in it.....that way if you hit a bump mid corner the car absorbs the bump and won't skip across the road.

    • I did a skidpan night at SMSP this week, it was much cheaper than $350. But yeah, you need to slap an LSD in that thing.  I put an OS Giken in the 370Z and it's f**king MARVELOUS even compared to Nissan's viscous LSD. So you're saying it's free now that it's a housing estate? 😂
    • Nah, the car seems to run exactly as it did prior, in saying this it does "seem" to be better down low, like more eager to rev, but that may be 100% placebo effect from intake noise But, I'm not worried about it at all, in the end it is a fairly low compression NA engine that has a well shrouded intake,  if it is getting hotter IAT I cannot notice anything negative performance wise from the seat of my pants thrashing it about on the street or sitting in traffic, so meh, car now now makes induction noise so I'm happy
    • Do you have an IAT sensor? It's worth checking it to see. You may be suprised how little gap you actually need to flood your engine with hot air. (I tape up my airbox for a reason) :p
    • @KinkstaahKrinkle paint the "silver" alloy, not the red filter frame Engine bay heat won't be a issue worth worrying about as the silver alloy blocks it off on 3 sides, as for the top, the bonnet seals most of it and the big OEM CAI intake snorkel is still fitted in its original position  I will head into Clark's Rubber when I have some time to grab some pinch weld to tidy up the alloy after I paint it As for performance, I honestly wasn't expecting any, the only reason I got it is because the intake noise sounds cool to my old ears when I'm feeding it the beans Sometimes it's the silly things you do in in life that gives the most fun, and I do love anything that makes cool car noises In other news: I survived 4 nights at sea with Jackie not throwing me over board, holidays are continuing now as we are currently chilling at the Beachcomber in Toukley, after taking the coast roads from Sydney in the MX5, top down all the way, Toukley is where I spent a good deal of my youth holidaying during the summer months, there's lots of reminiscing going on,  and lots of beaches and old houses to visit Next on the list is to head to Batemans Bay for a few days, but we will take the Commodore out to stretch its legs, then Commodore hasn't really moved for months
