The GTR could of done with a good squirt. O well , some one has to do it(work). Hope you all have a safe and un harassed cruise and hope to see you all another time.

I didn't say it in a smart arse manner, doing so would have got me know where.. well maybe some where 'regency'.

But saying that fingers crossed it would have earned me only a trip to the local cop shop as its not registered 40km/s out of the CBD for no reason.

Yeah its all about your attitude, I was pulled over for speeding even though he didn't have a radar. He didn't try and get me for that but went over the car, saw the boost controller and its definitely too loud plus tyres are too big. He pretty much let me off with a warning but said that if I continue to speed/act like a dickhead he can play the game as well and easily send me to regency.

Definitely... I had no problems ripping the tint off as I knew from day one that it was too dark (30% on the front windows), I managed to get away with it for ~4.5years. Still haven't cleaned up the glue stuff from the passenger window properly. lol

One day. :P

MASSIVE THANKS everyone !!!! ...the weather was the best, the route was great, as was the turnout of cars. Unfortunately OLD Jules's back is still very crook & it was her first time out in the RB, since she became unwell...so we pulled the pin early.

Big ups to Brenton & Darren (sorry Daniel lol) for the organisation.....whatever Brenton has collected, we will send to the White Wreath Association but this was not about raising $$$...its about raising awareness of the silent epidemic killing our youth.

Again, SAU please accept our sincere thanks

"the dr1ft_pig13 OLDS" - Jules & Mark

PS ....we were stoked to see the current Australian Super Drift Champion Linden Reynolds (& Bec) go back to basics in a pre-loved R32 and join the cruise......

Hey awesome cruise today everyone! Even if the end of it was a bit.. all over the place. People just seemed to dissapear towards the end, and few of us did a few u-turns getting lost.

Was good to meet and talk to a few more people, even tho im still struggling to put names to faces - or faces to cars really lol. Patrick was pointing people out and saying who they were, which helped lol. I know everyone by car or username lol.

I had some people just come up and say hi, sorry if i seemed rude lol, was probly trying to figure out who you were!

But yeh, had fun, was better when i actually got to drive, altho passenger was fun, got some good photos :P

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What can i say.

I am so proud of everyone that came today.

It was a very good turnout in my books. I was a little worried at ETSA Stadium but once a few of us got to Holly Reserve and waited around more and more skylines just kept on coming into the park.

I am also proud to say that we raised a total of $200.

So on behalf of Darren & Myself I am very glad to be giving this with Mark & Julie to the White Wreath Association.

It was a shame my car was playing up and I had to stay at the back so i wouldn't hold anyone up. I just loved coming over a crest and seeing a line of skylines turning around the next corner.

Or in i think it was Normanville every single skyline taking up the main road. HAHAHAHAHAHHA That was gold.

here are the only pics i took from today.

I am so sorry about whoever was calling me. I am so sorry for telling you we were going to be in one area then we moved on. I hope you caught up with us in the end.

And also sorry for going home early. I was shagged and my car wasnt liking my passing other cars so i decided to limp it home behind Lindo back home.

I look forward to the next cruise.

Kindest regards,

Brenton.

P.s * Darren Mark means you, just got your name mixed up*.

i had fun!

nothing happened to the car the whole way but on the way home made some weird crunching sounds :P haha

hopefuly thats the last time itll look like that with its crapy paint!

awsome cruise.

i had a great time on the cruise, first SAU cruise i have been on. For those who dont know who i am which is most of you lol, i was the guy driving flicks 32 for half the cruise till she decided she was bored of being passenger and took over. Awesome roads, best route i have been on. Was good to see a decent amount was raised for the day too.

Seeya's at the next cruise.

Luke.

GREAT turn out!! Nice course, awesome weather. All good :O

Had a great day no problems, can't wait to see more pics! (It's always good to see a group of Skyline in one place).

I left for home from Cape Jervis. From home to Cape Jervis and back was about 320km for me.

Thanks for an awsome day Brenton & Daniel, The Olds (Jules & Mark) and all the SAUers :P

    • @soviet_merlin Thanks mate!  Nothing too major but will hold me up for a while. I've got lymphomas to get taken off the back of my neck and the middle of my spine which always conjures scary thoughts!  It sounds worse than it is. Yeah great, conjuring more rabbit hole deepening , just what I need! 🤣  
    • I'd argue the F50 kit I got is very good value. For ~2k I got the calipers (refurbed condition), adapters, pads, brake lines, rotors, and top hats. I think you'd be pretty hard to get Evo/GTR/350z brembos + the additional hardware for similar money. Used market for a pair of front calipers alone I've seen tend to run anywhere from $1500-2000 depending on condition.    That said, something like a GTR or 350z brembo is a lot easier to adapt to the Silvia. 
    • Is there a significant price difference between the Evo/gtr/350z brembos vs the F50? Looks amazing.
    • I was actually being a tightarse at the time LOL... My OCD is tickling me into running a 2nd 8AN Teflon hose all the way down and removing the 2x OEM hardlines. My other side of my brain is telling me to run 2x hardlines front to back (also acts as a fuel cooler, so win win).
    • As I mentioned in an earlier post, I had some trouble with the Silvia's brakes dragging back in 2023. I managed to sort it out then, but the same problem came back to bite me late last year. Just take a look at the picture – I had a feeling the handbrake was acting up again, and I was right. Anyway, I'd been wanting to upgrade to bigger brakes for a while. Not that the Silvia's brakes were bad, but it was more of a "want" than a "need", you know? It was funny, though – at the time, I couldn't find any Evo Brembos, 350Z Brembos, or GTR Brembos for a decent price (of course, tons of them popped up online after I already bought my kit!). I ended up going with an F50 Brembo kit, which came with adapters, brake lines, 330mm rotors, and top hats. The F50 Brembo caliper was used in a few other cars too, like the FPV. I also decided this was the perfect opportunity to ditch the Silvia's ridiculous rear brakes and that awful handbrake (some of you were definitely right about that!). I picked up some R33 calipers and all the necessary bits – rear drums, backing plates, and new hardware to refurbish the calipers. Of course, it wouldn't be a project without a few hiccups. Turns out the brake master cylinder was playing up and basically (to put it simply) keeping the brakes engaged. I had it overhauled, and after some adjustments, everything was working again. The whole process took a while, as you can imagine. To top it off, the front right wheel bearings were shot and needed replacing too. This is a rare occasion where I'm posting an update while it's all still fresh! These pictures were taken just this afternoon.
