well, people will find out where the cruise is going when they get handed the maps, if you want more info beforehand you will have to ask via PM, as we dont like to advertise on here where we are headed.

this cruise has a major hills section :)

my advice from running cruises.. give a general idea where its going, how many kms, approx time it will take, stops, types of roads, etc. then people will be will be like 'oh yeah sounds good, havnt done a cruise that way/those types of roads for a while'. instead of 'oh another random cruise, woop dee fricken doo'.

been doing cruises for the last 3 years or so. take my advice or leave it.

this is Kellies 7th cruise and she always gets a good turnout, so i think we will keep doing it the same as every other time, and as said many times before if people dont like it they can make their own cruises.

Steve, your a funny little SOB :)

yeah do whatever works i guess.

last few cruises of this nature ive been on.. and i dont mean this in a negative way.. so people dont get all emo, its constructive cristism.. but they seemed very dull. meet spot was good, plenty of parking and no cop hassels. but i mean down to outter harbour and back. nothing to see, roads are average. then ended up down the bay, which seems a bit poser. dont think we even made it to the hills. or might have been the very start of the express way. but i was like thats cool, something different to hills once in a while. next cruise i went on was nearly identical. so yeah not keen on coming out to do the same drive or similar around suburbs. i do plenty of that during week on the way to work :)

i think when people are asking general direction they mean... like is it heading to murray bridge, gawler, victor.. etc very general but at least they know roughly where its going. this way can organise when they gota leave home, where they could possibly meet half way or branch off to go home.

nothing more dissapointing than rocking up to a cruise thats going from suburb to suburb :D

this is why i was asking, ive got a 21st on that night so was just trying to calculate etc.....

now boys and girls i have said this many times befor and so has chad, if it's so god dam easy make your own cruise but in the 2 months or so that i stopped stevep there was no cruises so from my experiance if you dont like them dont come also i would like to say that it seams to only be the people that come out on my crusies once or twice that complain all the others seam to be fine

let me give you a run down

* it took me and chad 2 hours to do this map

* i will be printing these in my own time 50 maps this =100 pages

* i will then staple all of them in my own time

so now the question is if i have done 7 rounds as each round reps a new map and we have used the same maps a few times, i have done

*total of 15 cruises

* each cruise has average of 50 maps

* each map has a average of 2 pages

* 7 rounds each taking 2 hours

so how much time do i put in to give you guys something to do and never charge you for the maps but i seam to always listen to peoples bull shit about the cruises

THIS IS ONE OF THE REASONS WHY I STOPPED DOING THEM

THIS IS ONE OF THE REASONS WHY I STOPPED DOING THEM

But its people like me that is the reason why you still do them :down:

:D

Hey Kellie, if you wanna drop by our new house before the meet (we're not far) I can PM you the addy, and we'll cruise up with you. Gives you an excuse to see Tracy's new sparkle :down: BTW Tracy likes your watch :P

Edited by RubyRS4

why not double print the pages. thats what i do. saves half the paper and no staples :D

i know it kinda sucks organising cruises coz its all ur own time and money to do it. but i mean its only a few pages and a test run of the cruise. if u love cruising its nothing.

also.. use full stops in ur posts lol.

sorry guys i wont be out for this one as the car is still defected.

a few things to fix and then it will be all so sweet so give me till the next cruise or so then i will be there.

have a good one anyway

Sorry steve mate but i really dont seen the point in jumping into a thread and do nothing but bag both the cruise and pretty much person organising it! Kelly organises the cruise's how she pleases and thats why we love her and the cruises. I know each person has the own opinion and there intittled to that but sometimes there just not needed.

Don't worry kelly Im sure were gunna love the cruise as always!!!!

    • Welcome back to the scene! Godzilla Motorsports were well regarded back in the day.  My GT-R had work done there prior to my ownership.   SRS (Street Race Solutions) in Toowoomba worth a look.  They've built some pretty wild Skylines. Their YouTube channel is comedic to watch!  I'm sure they're all on the glass BBQ but they get shit done! 🤣
    • Hard to say what the extra connector is, it looks a bit like a coax type connector, so possibly a separate radio/GPS antenna, or even another camera input?  The V37 series (including the Q50), did go through a model refresh in 2020, since Australia didn't get any Q50s newer than 2019, we didn't get any of the refreshed models, so there could also be other unexpected problems to overcome to swap an older Q50 head unit into a new model V37. There probably aren't too many people around that have made these sorts of changes to a Q50/V37, so you might end up being the first if you do decide to go ahead. ACP is Apple Car Play and AA is Android Auto, they are roughly the same thing for the 2 major phone operating systems (Apple's iOS and Android), it allows you to connect your phone and access a number of your phone applications on your car system.  With Nav apps included, so you could use google maps/Waze or whatever your favourite navigation app is, instead of using the built in navi system.  I think this would be a better solution if it is only Navigation that you are looking as swapping the head unit for. GPS signals are the same around the globe as the GPS satellites continuously circle the globe, but it is the head unit that doesn't allow you to load Australian maps, or at least no-one had made an Australian map that will load up on the JDM head unit. Regarding the TV standards, I assume you are referring to the AV inputs?  I haven't ever tried to use them, Japan used a slightly modified version of the US NTSC system, and Australia uses PAL for composite video, that said, I wouldn't be surprised if a video input could work with either system.  That is mostly irrelevant here though, unless you plan to use those inputs for something?
    • If you've got bucket loads of $. Go single. If not, just upgrade the twins, Garrett -9's or whatever the current equivalent is for a healthy 350awkw and leave it at that. Will probably still cost you 10k to do in this day and age.
    • When you looking to buy injectors?? I could possibly sell you my 1d1700s for decent price. Done little work I just need bigger again 😫
