Some people are complete f**kwits. Unfortunately some of these people band together and start clubs and forums.

I remember the first Cruise for a Cure I went on (back when it was still the LS1 Forums arranging it). During the presentations, there were a couple of condescending remarks about the "slow 4 cylinder" imports. Nothing nasty, since they weren't unhappy that we showed up, but still that misplaced superiority complex guys cars that just discovered IRS across the range seem to have.

All I could think was, "We might be slow, but we weren't the pussies that stayed on the Princes Highway instead of going through the Nasho as the cruise was originally advertised".

There are plenty of decent Supra owners out there. Unfortunately, they get lost in the noise. Just like the guys on ns.com - there are some decent Silvia owners there, but you'd never know it from all the children chucking their toys out of the pram.

Well i know few supra guys in supraforums and they are really nice to me and always keep telling me to come for a cruise with them...but they agreed that they have few dickheads in their club who only like to cruise with supras..

"it would be better off if your friend didn't come with us.

there are guys here that don't like skylines or their drivers".

I don't know, but I didn't think that was very nice. On sau cruises, cars of all kinds are welcomed.

The 1 & 2jz are good, but come on, you too would be jealous of an RB engine.

*grin*

  • 2 weeks later...

Actually had this situation a while ago with a mate and his R34.

"I might rock up to the cruise"

"Erm, their are only supras on the cruise, no other cars"

"Oh ok, I guess thats kinda cool, we let any POS on our cruises. It would be nice to just cruise with skylines :P"

Guys Im a member of the nsw supra club and just wanted to clear something up.

I didnt attend that particular cruise but I know it was organised by the nsw supra club,the reason you probably werent welcome was because they firstly didnt know and if you act like a dick on the road you would have given the club a bad rap with the cops.

The club has rules about how members act while on an official club cruise so any bad behavior would reflect on the club and leave us prone to more attention fom the police.

Yeah its true some bag skylines on the forums but 99% of the time its just in jest.You guys are afterall on the darkside :P but I do hate gtst's with GTR badges on them (unless they have rb26's)

To the member who was rude to you,Im sure was only speaking for their own opinion because most of us dont care who cruises with us as long as they don't carry on like idiots.Some members attended a cruise with the silvia club and some of them started drifting and doing burnouts in a carpark in a residential area,this is what we dont want.

Cheers

Sam

I really want to just apologise for the dickhead that spoke to you like that, 97r33gtst-typeM. I have a feeling I mite know who it was and I can tell you now, no one in the club likes him, but we try not to descriminate. :O Officially it was a NSW Supra Club cruise and so only Supras were invited, but that being said, the organisers would not 'officially' tell you to piss off. It's just some of the n00bie club wankers seem to take it upon themselves to spout club policy when they have no clue how we operate. Unofficially we would have been happy to have you join us. The majority of us bought Supras because we're enthusiests and so like all types of performance cars. Unfortunately there are a vocal few that bought them because they were in some famous movies once. :D

It is in my opinion that 20% of all Supra owners are nothing more than pretencious showpony f**ktards. It's just a shame that they're more visible than the other 80% who are actually nice people. ;)

Maybe this little incident will open the negotiations on a Skyline/Supra joint cruise. I'd definately be up for it. :(

Heck yea :-)

A mixed cruise always looks good... It's also really good to be able to talk, and find out plusses & minuses to owning different imports, inc 'lines....

I'd be up for that, including driving down to Syd etc to join in.. :-) (Fron Bx)

    • It's worth looking at Neil's garage thread, he was super organised (as you'd expect). He had a simple bunnings narrow shelving rack with tubs, each tub numbered, each number had a manifest. Of course, only about half the parts had made it to that system, and he had random stuff from old projects like kawasaki triples and even a Bultaco (a wtf? I said). I really don't want to throw stuff like that because it is irreplaceable, but it's also hard to know who could use it without spending a heap of time I don't have on research. Not co-incidentally, I've recently decided to try and move on some parts too, either random non-skyline stuff like S13 axles or anything R32 that I had more than 2 spares of (yes, I have a lot of space and a lot of spares). Most of the stuff is on commercial racking which is too deep for practical use for loose spares. Where possible stuff is in plastic tubs (various sizes) to keep critters from eating them. The whole place is a disaster for the poor person who has to clean it out when I'm gone. For the R32 spares, I aim to have one ready to go spare (eg rebuilt gearbox, engine, driveshafts, hubs, control arms etc) and one ready to prep spare.  Even so I've ended up with lots of 3rd or more spares and I'd rather see someone else keep their car on the road. Also I've ended up with some interior stuff like boot trims and floor mats I'll never need. So, I'm about to re-enter the painful world of online selling. I'm not on facebook (and won't be) so that is not an option, I'll start a thread on here for R32 stuff and people who need something can find it. I don't really need to throw anything for space reasons, but I somehow doubt the Greddy Rebec III will be in high demand. Oh, and I've got heaps of bench space and heaps of racking.....but still the bench is covered in half done or about to start jobs, I really need to get it better under control but time is an issue
    • This is the current antenna, 4g bands are the ones I'm after, particularly the Telstra long range one which I think is 850Mhz? It has an SMA connector to a 3 way splitter, one runs to the Cel Fi and 2 to a USB 4g wifi stick The problem is not the antenna, the problem is that the V37 has a slightly smaller gap between the rear windshield and the body which prevents the line from being tucked away under it as it was in the Fuga. Therefore, I have about a meter of cable that I can't adequately secure running down the outside of the car to enter the boot....I figure I need to use a roof mount antenna instead and run the cable inside the car The other option I'll look at is removing the factory shark fin (which I assume is factory GPS, which is crap, I use TomTom app on my phone) and I'll bet there is already a hole in the roof under that I could use. Any alternative approach is very much welcome!

    • Thanks Komdotkom, I would take you up on that offer, but the cost of shipping to NZ would be horrible. 
    • So what I hear from Rob and Mark is, Matt needs to stay the hell away from your places when you choose to do cleanups, for fear my hoarding will get worse, as Ill likely find things to suit some of the projects I want to build... As for ditching stuff like Mark does, I wish I could do it so easily mate, but lots of my spares are for the R33 and I'm slightly attached to them...   However, I was staring at the pile of subs, 2 for the car, 2 for a home audio system and thinking I'll likely just ditch those... That's. A lot of space back...   I must hurry up and finish the Subaru, and then the skyline... That's probably get some space back...   But my main take away is, other than big plastic tubs, and some sort of categorising what you have in each, no one has found a good solution, that takes up the minimal amount of space possible?   And Rob, I've been wanting a mezzanine, and have been tempted to put one in, but I'm borderline not enough height, and secondly, I hate heights! (No good spot for stairs, so it'd either be fold up stairs, or a ladder, of which I hate ladders and can't carry the bigger stuff up).
