so who has the whiiiiiine red GTR with gold meshies?

That would be me! What did I do wrong? :O Great cruise though, it's the first time I've driven it like that so it took a bit to start to trust her in the twisties but it was awesome after that. Coming around that blind corner to see the GTR's kiss and everyone all over the road was interesting though!

not a good idea for video Nene...........pics of plates on a stationary car is OK though.

that was my mate Andrew's car (WEGS) who was with another good mate Scott (SALTY). Up until recently he had a nice R32 GTR that pulled a good number at the Boostworx Dyno Day not long ago.

yeah sorry again Steve, I didn't see you there. If you can lock up your wheels the way you did, you don't need better brakes, maybe just better tyres.

hahaha maybe not sure tyres were cold remember

Sweet cruise Kell :O

Good to see the good weather coming back and more cars getting out.

And thanks for helping me move house ... hope Tracy made brekky for you this morning ;)

thanx roo

and i didnt really do much but really loved being on the bike with simon it was so much fun

we werent up to eat didnt even hear you leave lol so we watched your movies all day

Ok well how bout i create a dvd and put it onto disk?? there isn't HEAPS of footage though....

dvd's sounds sweet ;) maybe you should save up some phootage though and make 1. im trying to con some camera connections to whip up some dvd's with editing.

got some nice 1s of my bros swift club the guy that made em did editing for a living and combined with urs truly "cam man dan" could steal some ideas :O

good cruise! only set back was my intercooler pipe popped off and the car shut down on sir don so i had to go pick up a socket set and put it back into place! all cool now and thanks for the person with the silver r33 for stopping over as well

no worries mate! haha i was right about that cooler pipe! your silicon joiners looked in pritty bad shape.

Nothing! I like it, wanna swap :(

i may make 1 suggestion more driving and less stopping dinner of course should be a 30 min stop but the rest should be limited to 15mins

just a thought

+1 Did get a bit boring just standing around for ages.

thanx roo

Yeah, I'll get the bike sorted a bit more (just needs some lovin) and the 4 of us can go riding in the hills when the weather improves more :( I've still got a hardon from when Simon screamed past me on the GSXR. I think he loves my GSXR :P Thats the difference between a thrashed street bike and a properly setup race bike ;) We gotta do a combined skyline and bike cruise one night :( The boys would be in on some show off behaviour!

    • Update time!  The JZX110 had some maintenance needing to be done, so a lot of the seals with replaced to fix some oil leaks. Also used this opportunity to whack on a front mount that I'd bought some time ago.  I also finally got the rear lip painted and fitted.  I then got the exhaust done. It's just a catback for now. Custom made 3" stainless with a turn down. I could have a tip coming out, but it will require cutting the rear lip and possibly the bumper itself. So far I do like and it's made the car a little more zippy.  Close out with some nice pictures of the cars and a sneak peek of what's next. 
    • Once you learn it all, you find you do the job once. But this is the best way to learn, as you won't forget the lessons
    • Edit: It's now known as "R Performance" and is still in operation.
    • This lady loved her FD for 25 years!  https://www.topspeed.com/80-year-old-woman-donates-fd-rx-7-mazda/ My brother in law. He's nice enough to let me drive it whenever. He'll likely not see this, but I'll try: @r-is-for-fun got any pics?
    • Just something I found searching for more info on Emotion R, apparently the ECR33 Skyline GTS25t was either originally black, or there were two of them, the black one being the original demo car, then building a white one which was part of the 1997-onwards (to at least 2008!) Cockpit Tatebayashi Tokyo Auto Salon booth demo cars. It appears that Emotion R closed down in 2008 and was declared bankrupt in 2010: http://bank-db.com/hasan/208365. Scan of a magazine with the black R33 from 1996: Wayback machine archived page from May, 2000: https://web.archive.org/web/20000529061027/http://www.emotion-r.co.jp/skyline.html Option magazine with a few photos from the Cockpit Tatebayashi booth at the Auto Salon from various years: 2002: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=154&image_id=3507 2003: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=137&image_id=3033 2005: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=116&image_id=1831 In 2008 Cusco website mentions that the Cockpit Tatebayashi ECR33 was displayed at that year's Tokyo Auto Salon: https://www.cusco.co.jp/event/2008/12/post_735.html As of 2021 it appears that the ECR33 demo car ended up being exported to Florida, USA: https://rmcmiami.com/inventory/1996-nissan-skyline-r33-cockpit-tatebayashi-demo-car-big-te06-turbo-endless-brakes-lsd-450hp/ And finally here's Google streetview of the Emorion R garage in 2023 which is amazingly not only still there, but the showroom is still full of various parts in stock and funishings, etc.: https://maps.app.goo.gl/ttyEAZdZLyzermyT9 Apologies for nerding out a bit. I used to love doing this 20 years ago on SAU and got a bit nostalgic for a moment... 😅
