Can't wait for this cruise :bunny:

let them ring, i will just be saying its a free world and we are a group of car enthusiasts that want to go for a cruise on a nice day.

plus bonus if they call, will change our route slightly to avoid them. lol.

Ill be in with a couple of mates most likely. Only issue I can see is police. I know this may sound stupid but has there ever been any trouble with police on these cruises? I cant see any issues arising driving wise due to the sedate nature, however what about "random" checks?

well yeh there has never been any issues, every1 behaves and all will be well. it will be blatantly obvious that its a cruise due to the amount of cars so hopefully they wont be so stupid as to pull 1 over as we would all have to stop and get out and chat to the cops. imagine that, 100 people getting out of 50 cars coz 2 cops wanna do a license check? :D

list updated

Funnily enough a few of my mates and I were thinking of heading down to anglesea next w/e for a cruise along GOR lol. Seeing as I have a place down there we'll be staying sat night so theres a possibility we'll probably come meet up with you guys there. Is it meeting at torquay or anglesea?

there is a stop in anglesea first, opposite the shell servo. we'll utilise the road side parking and the parking at the playground to accomodate the cars.

we'll hopefully make angelsea around 11:30 odd.

might see u there

Im not questioning your planning at all, but will there be enough room and parking?? Im thinking mass chaos with this many cars.

Once again cant wait!!

to be honest i am hoping that we can all squeeze in the area, otherwise it would be a drive straight through to apollo. like last time, we had 27 cars all park on the street, still had plenty of area around us to park, and then u got car park and a street next to the shell servo.

we will leave in a similar mannor as last time, 2 cars block traffic towards apollo, every 1 takes off from the street and car park and side street and the 2 blockers bring up the rear.

ill be able to explain better when we there.

i thought my gearbox and clutch were about to go earlier.. all i could think about was this cruise!

found out tis my short shifter, so ill whack it out, put the stockie back in, and ill def be ready :D with front mount on too...

man dan with that many cars i dear say the cops are going to show :D and if that happen's my day will be rurended :D .

also i emailed ignition dvd in a late minute hope they will come down and film the event esperly since they haven't done a melbourne hot spot.

every one email ignition dvd about the cruise and tell them to come down :D:)

Don't stress about the Police guys, there is only a couple of policemen on duty between Torquay and Apollo Bay.

Last time i got pulled over the Sergent just wanted to have a look and a chat and let me go on my merry way.

It's the speed cameras you've got to worry about. :D

Doners im in! Any chance of a south east pre meet? Glenny area?

LOL philmak! Good that you can come along too :rofl:

Was thinking of gathering together near STI docklands before crusing together to the first meet point.

Anybody want to do that first?

philmak uve been added to the list, only 7 days to go guys. ITS NEXT SUNDAY :rofl:

hey guys thought i would shear this new with you.

andrew hawkens who is the producer of ignition dvd and owns jet 200 (check out current hot4s) got back to me and said they would have loved to come come down and wont to but will be covering the powercruise in qld that weekend and only have one film crew. also they WONT cars form melbourne so just send specs and some good pics to the guys at ignition dvd.

i will do another crusie looking at nov and will inform ingnition dvd in advance so they can come. i will put up a new thread about this.

You can count Godzilla and Godzilla Jnr in, now all we need is a picnic hamper and we will have the perfect family day out. lol

Hopefully godzilla will be ready in time after it got killed by the wife..............im trying to resurrect it as we speak,

im just waiting for that final lighting bolt...........and it will be ALIVE!!!!!!

Hey Princess, i guess you might be coming now then? lol Catcha at work on monday man.

    • I know this one’s the BB one. My tuner did make mention about the actuator. I am curious about the VCT as well
    • Might also needs a stronger actuator with the right preloading. With older 2019 built bush G3 units, BB upgrade or 21U housing down size makes a pretty decent gain in response as well. 
    • Hey lads  so im finally putting together my rb30 forged bottom end and ran into an issue. I measured my main bearing clearance with arp main studs torqued to 60 ft-lbs using ACL H series STD size bearings and standard, un-ground crank shaft journals and got an oil clearance reading of about 1.3 thou measuring straight up and down and about 2.8 thou measuring at a 45 degree angle (just above and below the parting line). My machine shop said they measured the main tunnel and it was all within spec (they didnt say the actual measurement) and to go with a standard size bearing, which i have done and the clearance is too tight, I'm guessing because of the extra clamping force from the arp studs distorting the main tunnel. I was wanting to run about 2.5 thou main bearing clearance.  My questions are: 1. could i just use the HX extra 1 thou clearance ACL bearings? that would fix my straight up and down clearance making it about 2.3 thou, but then would the side to side clearance be too big at around 3.8 thou? 2. what actually is the recommended main bearing clearance for measuring near the parting line / side to side. i know its supposed to be bigger as the bearing has some eccentricity built into it but how much more clearance should there be compared to the straight up and down measurement? at the moment there is about 1.5thou difference, is that acceptable or should it be less? 3. If i took the engine block + girdle back to the machine shop and got them to line bore the main tunnel (like i told them to do the first time, but they said it didnt need it) what bearing size would i buy? the STD size bearing shells already slide in fairly easily with no real resistance, some even falling out if i tip the girdle up-side-down. If im taking material out of the main tunnel would i need a bearing with extra material on the back side to make up for it? this is probably confusing af to read so if something doesn't make sense let me know and ill try explaining in a different way. My machine shop doesn't come back from christmas break until mid January, hence why i'm asking these questions here. TIA for any help or info 
    • I bought the model back in Japan in Feb. I realised I could never build it, looked around for people who could build it, turns out there's some very skilled people out there that will make copies of 1:1 cars or near enough. I'm not really a photo guy... but people were dragging me in a group chat for the choice of bumper as someone else saw the car before it was finished as they are also a customer of that shop. I took the photo in the above post because I was pretty confident that the lip would work wonders for it. Here's some more in-progress and almost-done pics. It gives a good enough idea as to what the rear looks like!   I have also booked in a track day at the end of January. Lets all hope that is nothing but pure fun and games. If it's not pure fun and games, well, I've already got half an engine spare in the cupboard 
    • Well, do ya, punk? Seriously though, let's fu<king go! The colour and kit looks amazing on the car. Do you have any shots from the rear? I don't quite follow how the model came around. You bought the white kit and he modified it to match your car? Looks nuts either way!
