So after many topics about Perth cruises for us, nothing ever happened and nothing got planned so this is the thread that will get things into motion. (hopefully)

Im just asking a few questions first are we interested in a doing a cruise up to the hills or York, Toodyay or south with a stop somewhere for a bite to eat (something like our last adventures)or are you wanting to have a social get together without the cruise instead?

Dates i was looking at would be around Sat/Sun Weekend 25-26th October or Sat/Sund Weekend 8-9th November. This would give plenty of time to organise, sort and book if need be etc.

throw your ideas etc in here and lets organise to have the next meet :D

Cheers

too many weddings and interstate trips for me to commit to October but November would be sweet!

I am up for anything, but a small cruise combined with a social get together at the end would be my preference. Obviously something at least a little kid friendly would be good, coz if I wanted to hoon about with tools then there are plenty of other options available.

South would be good too - maybe dwellingup or similar? Or, if people are up for an adventure maybe even a picnic at somewhere like Logue Brook Dam.

I would be up for a cruise in november as october is full of wedding as well for me also doing the engine swap.

I know an awesome cruise route down south, takes a while but is sweet. For you perth guys allow a full day.

Basically meet here in bunbury at BP australaind (huge carpark and last chance to fill up on BP98) then go to bridgetown via collie, in bridgetown there's a place to stop for those of us with kids, stretch get something to nibble etc (there's a great lolly shop)

Then from bridgetown through to Nannup (brockman highway, awesome road bit bumpy and single lane sometimes but worth it, the idiots stay at home for this one).

Then Nannup to Balignup, at the end of the road as you come into Balignup there is an awesome tavern with really good food and not bad prices, and a play ground for the kids.

Then from Balignup you go back through donnybrook to bunbury or you can go through to Busselton. So basically at nannup everyone makes there own way home.

We have done this one before and if you leave early in the morning you make the tavern by lunch.

I have the map route at work i will try and get it 2moro.

Just an idea.

how in the hell did you manage to leave donelly river off there?

Great route, but the road from brigetown to donelly river is an absolute cracker IMO

Other than that, I can def vouch for this route.

i'd come along but that weekend is no good for me. family stuff on..

dates arent confirmed at all as of yet...trying to figure out if October or Nov suit....looks like November is working at this stage...???

Ok i'll get the map route 2moro and see if we can incorporate it in??

i havent organised anything myself as the car will be undergoing work in a couple of weeks and trying to get this yellow sticker off, i dont know how long the conversion will take me but should be right for mid to late november, i can always bring the gto if the stagea aint going anyway.

Mid to late Nov gonna be the best for me to.

I have the map route now from work. Not gonna post it up coz there could be people watching :(

if anyone wants it i can send it to them and we can think bout it, just an idea.

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
