God and i actually wanted to go on one of these, guess im not going to considering some crap seems to happen every time.

I for one enjoy going on these cruises, it's a great way to enjoy your car and meet people with similar interests and have a fun day out.

It's not meant to be a race. That's what track days are for. But accidents can happen to anyone... it shouldn't stop people from attending these events.

i agree

and i think its not a race also, its a cruise

some of those with neo 6's have a fairly heavy foot when behind others...

Yes, if it was just a cruise, i would agree with you there whole heartedly.

But in reality, you cant sit there and say that.

And it should indeed discourage responsible people from going judging by the stupid actions of some people

There is video evidence of people getting crossed up out of service stations on two separate cruises (they were organised here)

Now there is someone who's ended up totalling thier car... people admitting to tailgating others.... (that was organised here)

All things which simply do not happen on a 'cruise', it sounds more like a illegal road race than anything else.

So hence my post stands. Behave or bugger off.

agreed. accidents can happen to anyone

Accidents happen everyday, and more often than not people have themselves to blame for them. If i let every indicent that ever happened to someboday in a car, or more specificly a skyline, change the way 'I' think, then I would never want to do a track day, never want to go to the strip and never want to go on a cruise. Hell i should probably stay away from intersections... Myself like Dillon have been on the last two and have enjoyed them thoroughly. It's up to yourself (i.e the driver) to make decisions on how you will behave. I am not condoning any illegal behaviour, and am not suprised that accidents do happen, however i always have a good day and enjoy talking to others about thier cars.

its not just the accident though, people have clearly posted that they were tailgated on this so called cruise which is illegal behaviour anyway

take away thew accident you still have people acting like tools, when it was just ment to be a cruise

This may all be true. And, yes it does not look good for the club. However, I do not think the finger should be pointed at everyone who attends these cruises and furthermore blanket the entire cruise as an illegal road race. I wonder how many people in this club have lost thier licences in the past, I know i have, and consequently drive much more sensibly because of it. Likewise i think a lot of people will learn from this, and perhaps unfortunately it takes something like this to happen to get the message across. I like many other have enjoyed myself in a safe manner, and feel it's a shame that others will be detered and frown upon such events. I am definately looking forward to the official GOR cruise to see what thats all about.

This is true, but that was a select few and not everyone. you yourself were on the one before this - I just feel the whole event should not be branded as a blantant disrespect for the club and road rules. anyways I'm over this - this sucks

Truer words have not been spoken. It sucks!

yeh but its the select few that give the whole club a bad name normally

i was on the last one, and thats been my last unofficial cruise since

and that was fairly well behaved, since then there was the sorrento cruise and this one

and i was on neither of them

It does not look good for the forum. That is where i am coming from - Admin.

The clubs position is clear, has been since day one.

Its now at a point where the stupidity of users will result in harsh crackdowns.

Its upto the people in question (and you know damn well who you are) to either behave, or go elsewhere.

Otherwise it will be destroyed for everyone by the people who are too stupid to learn, and that's not fair on the greater populous.

The finger is clearly being pointed at anyone who was there and was behaving in a retarded/illegal manner, also those who just let it happen without saying a word. 3 strikes, 3 cruises. Call them 'accidents' or whatever, but getting 4 cars in a row 45degree's sideways out of a driveway is purely deliberate action by the driver.

The SAU official cruise is sensational. Has been since '04. Great sights, relaxed drive and a few beers/BBQ on the Sat night :yes:

    • On 12th June, the mechanic could not figure out what the issue was, but the car seems to be flooding with fuel. He was suspecting the tune, thus referred me to a tuner. Although the tuner is not familiar with Nistune, last Monday (30th June), he came over to try and re-map it. Despite the tuner trying to completely stop fuel, it kept sounding like it was pushing fuel. Tuner ended up suspecting either the ECU or Injectors. I do not believe the ECU or Nistune is the issue, as the Nistune software reads and communicates properly. Today, I removed the (new) injectors to see if they are clogged or leaking. Surprisingly enough, after those 3 days of driving, injectors 2 and 3 look very blocked. You can see the difference in the picture. I blew a bit on 3, that is why it doesn't look as clogged as 2. I am still unsure if this is what is causing the no start issue, but I am now feeling that I may have bought the injectors and Nistune without the need to do so, as the problem seems to be coming from somewhere else.  
    • haha this shit box doesn't drink coolant, for now       Let me guess, they make heaps of power, use the car for straight line driving and don't care about noise
    • They’re so great that I know of someone pulling one out to go back to a sequential 
    • Hello everyone. I've recently started the research into R34 GTR front bits and running into eye watering prices. On the plus site it looks like some places make 'replacement' fender liners for these cars. At eye-watering-but-less than stock prices. I also noticed there's plenty of diffuser options available too. What I would like to know is if my following assumptions are correct. 1) The OEM guard liners are actually only 'half' the liner. They go together with the OEM brake vents which are a separate item which looks to be quite a large 'panel' that is part of the liner. The GTR bumper has bolt holes along the front. I assume the ones in the vent correspond to the ones the OEM liner does not have (circled?)   2) The V-Spec front diffuser supplants the brake ducts in the above item. I am assuming these still work with the guard liners as there's no alternate part that I'm aware of. I don't see how they go together, so I'm making the assumption that they have to, somehow. I know the center splash guard is different on the V-Spec (and is the price of the damn diffuser alone). How does the liner interact with this? 3) There's alternate front diffusers that do away with it all. Annoyingly, a lot of the clones and CF different ones... have no brake ducts on them. I like the idea of them though. My brakes get hot on the track. These alternate diffusers are a lot cheaper than plastic splash guards. I'm assuming you don't have to/aren't supposed to remove guard liners to run a diffuser. I suspect that quite a few people actually do not run the guard liner because with a front undertray you're getting a lot of 'splash' guarding anyway, and most people remove liners given they're probably running a pretty aggressive setup with a diffuser at the front. It would also be nice to know if anyone has ever run the 'reproduction' guard liners and know whether the fitment is OEM quality or "OEM Quality". Example: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/356254671561 https://carbonetics.net/products/nissan-skyline-r34-gtr-plastic-front-wheel-arch-set Is this knowledge still around?
    • Really, effort is pretty low. You hand fistfuls of cash over to someone else and pick it up when done...   And at least this shitbox isn't drinking coolant right?
