Thanks to all who came. Was a great cruise. I probably have one more cruise in the making.

Terry, no excuses next time brother!

Nice to meet more people. I'm glad everyone enjoyed the day. Definately makes you feel as though you did have a weekend, thats for sure.

Catch up with you all soon! =)

Hi All,

I'd like to thank everyone involved in organising this cruise & everyone who turned up on the day, I had a great time smile.gif

Only problem (if you wanna call it that) is that I never figured out who was who from this forum, ah well!

I'm flat out getting ready to move but can't wait to check out all the pics and posts later...

I also took a few and will upload when I get time.

I see mention of the video - I'd love to see some - I spotted somebody videoing us leaving the tea rooms - that'd be quite something to see. (Not sure if anyone overtly hooned at this stage or not). Anyway, I can understand why it's not a good idea to put some of the video up for anyone to view... maybe there is another way we can do this?

I had a video cam set up in my car but I stuffed up the positioning a bit - plus it moved from all the vibration - so you get a good view of me driving but not much from out the windscreen ermm.gif

My car was fine on the day, except on the way back my seatbelt unbolted from the floor - too much vibration along the last leg near the tea rooms I guess!

Cheers

Have to add this....

Well Done James, and i guess the Mrs too for her part also, on yet another 'Cruise'.

It is good to get out of the 'Danger areas', and into the sticks for a cup of Tea and Scones.

It certainly was impressive in the turn-out, I still got to get the pics we took up on the Board.

I kinda lost a few of you guys, but noticed.... as i drove past, quite a gaggle of Nissans in a Maccas on the freeway. Anyways...I got caught with the rain, but then again being an ex-Pom, no change i suppose!!

We need a barby that is part of the club, so we can have a bite somewhere else. (maybe?)

OR, maybe even a club-house!!!(maybe just a Bar somewhere we all know someone may be on say the 3rd weds of every month. nothin special, just a place were we can get to easily etc.

Ideas, Ideas, Ideas.... silence fool.!!

Certainly enjoyed the drive though, well done all of us. Pics say it all I suppose.

More..??

What about the ANZAC day one, is this on the Cruise roster?

Haha I didn't introduce myself to anyone... I was beaing sneaky! :whistling:

Thats why I dont like SAU cruises. No one introduces themselves. No one knows whats what and where to cruise to. Like the pizza cruise I went on with you guys.

Thats why I organise my own cruises. Cause everyone who comes is friendly, and everyone enjoys themselves.. Anyways, enough said, each to their own.

Next time you come along DRDOOF, introduce yourself mate. I saw you on the megalong valley cruise, but noticed you weren't interested in meeting any new people. So I left you to yourself.

At least I make a concerted effort to meet everyone, like I did at Olympic Park, I went to everyone and introduced myself.

Just a thought mate.

There is no need for this guys. I did not even say hi to everyone on the day to be honest i said hi to you James at the end, and intoduced to maybe 4 other people that were there excluding the friends i already had meet. I was probably to busy taking photos all the time. Anyway I did have a great day and a good drive.

My 2cents

I have bluddy no idea who anyone is either... Now I think back I saw doofs car but still have no idea wtf he is, even tho I know he sports a serious system, should of had a DB contest with the yellow 34.. Nice system there too!

I pretty much know everyone on the SAU cruises already...

And You didn't meet me at Olympic park! I don't think I met anyone there... I'm surprised we weren't flooded with people when we hopped out of the NUR...

And the only reason I didn't come and introduce myself was cause i was hung over :whistling: No hard feelings or anything, it wasn't personal...

Thursday??

Where do I get the info then ?

Ummm events section? Same place you got the info for this cruise???

OR if you don't like that idea, come to the Thursday meets we hold weekly :whistling:

MUAHAHAH! I was stealth in the NUR most of the day :whistling: That's another reason why I didn't bother introducing myself... no car, and cbf with an abundance of 'wheres your car' questions... even though I got them anyway :P

I introduced myself to everyone I think, problem is I always talk too much and most people were probably thinking, "man I wish this guy would fk off" :P

Everyone seemed fairly friendly and it was a good cruise, loved that silver R34, I want those rims! I see the Nur spec all the time as it belongs to my friend so I wasn't really gawking at it and thought the silver one was tidy as. Oh and thankyou to all the people that took photos, there seems to be a fair few photos of my stockish looking car in them for some reason, so I have some nice photos of it now. :rofl:

Hi Zilch!!!! :P

Some of Us Discussed This Special Car that was meant to show up..

Hey when Zilch said there was a SPECIAL car coming i was thinking some juiced Up GT2 Porsche , Ferrari Or Lamborgini , the only reason why you werent flooded with people when You hoped out of The NUR Is because some people Dont regard it as a Super Car , I honestly loved it But i wouldnt think of it as something SPECIAL ... Dont take it the wrong way or anything ... The only R34 GTR I Would regard As something Special Would be without a doubt R34 GTR Z TUNE, and im sure alot of people would agree with me on that ..

Just my 2 Cents ....

P.S. Whole time i was trying to figure out WHO was Zilch , Black R33 With Gold Rims right ?

Well I liked it, and I'm sure the owner does too :D

But yeah, I tend to get wood over nice skylines, more so then I would over a nice Porsche, Ferrari or Lamborghini... I don't think of it as a 'super car' as that boundary is being pushed further and further every year, but it is still nice to see a car of only 750 in the world come and join some like minded enthusiasts on a cruise... :D

PS: Yes! :cool:

Yeah point taken, just thought with a skyline cruise people would get a real kick out of the Nur, less for people like yourself though, I mean you own 2 R34 GTRs man!!

And yes that was me, the one who wanted to "borrow" those awesome Nismo rims on your car, I only have the Koya Drifteks on mine :cool: As I said before, I really like your car, clean as and sounds great. A lot of nice cars there really, at one stage on the cruise I was unfortunate enough to have in front, beside and behind me, an R32 GTR.. While going up a hill all 3 gave it a little and damn near shook my head apart with the vibrations!

how many cars turned up fellas.

I didnt do a count, but I'm pretty sure there were easily 30 cars at a minimum.

There were at least 20 cars at the Eastern Creek truck stop alone, and I noticed many more at the tea rooms :cool:

... not to mention the unmarked cop car (white Commode)...

    • have you rotated the car yet? if so how smooth was it?
    • And finally, I had the driver's side airbox off while adding a long drain hose under the oil can to down near the oil filter. Doesn't look good, it has definitely had an turbo oil seal leak and looks like it has been for a long time.....guess I'll have to get a pair of highflows to put on the shelf It's also worth mentioning it has a really strange clamp between the bottom of the airflow meter (which has a big barb/lip on it) and the intake pipe. I've used the magic of MSPaint to show, basically you have to clip out those 2 steel springs which unlocks the hose from the AFM. I used 2 flat screwdrivers, the spring sort of clips into the unlocked position. Reassembly you just pop them both back flat once the hose is far enough up the AFM that the spring clamp is above the barb. Weird to use but much more convenient once your'e used to it compared to trying to do up a hose clamp under the airbox like on 32 GTR
    • The other thing I started was a fire extinguisher bracket.  As with a few other cars previously (350z, Leaf), I'm going to add a bracket between the navigator seat's front bolts, then mount the extinguisher on that. Unfortunately Nissan (probably the same engineer who did the A/T fluid interwarmer) decided that the front seat brackets would be recessed and uneven so the bracket shape was a bit tricky; I ended up doing 1 part under each seat mount (the large hole is because there is a flange under the seat mount to allow for the carpet thickness)   and then a horizontal part between those 2 No final pic yet as the paint needs to dry, I'll post up once that's done  
    • OK, a few half jobs on the skyline this weekend because its booked for a test day at Wakefield Park on 27-Feb. While the Ecutek dongle and app provide display and logging of a heap of engine parameters, they annoyingly don't have access to the auto trans temp. So I grabbed an oil temp gauge from Raceworks which apparently has warning colour change and peak hold, about $95  and their 8mm hose sender adapter Now, I foolishly thought these 2 might work together, but no, the sender needs about 30mm clearance in the fitting and the adapter only had about 8mm. I've cobbled something together with an NPT T piece and blank for now but will try and work out something more permanent as I intend to use the same fitting for the data logger in the future. Under the car, Nissan's engineers decided that only one opportunity for coolant and trans fluid to mix (the radiator) was not enough, and they also added an interwarmer near the sump on the passenger side like the engine oil has: I've cut the hose between the auto trans outlet and the interwarmer inlet and inserted the sender there as that gives the best indication of temp inside the transmission.   From there it is back to the pain of running that sender wire to the cabin, I've run it up near the passenger headlight, into the battery box, across the channel at the back and into the master cylinder area where I ran out of wire length (and patience). Remainder of the job is through the grommet near the accelerator pedal that I've used previously, then across under the dash to where I will temporarily mount it on the console for track days (and remove it other times). The gauge will also need IGN, BAT and earth (I'm not going to worry about illumination as I'll unhook it between track days)  
    • This piece is obscenely discontinued. I honestly hate the frameless window design because the rubber gets stressed and the guides as well every time you open and close the door.
