YeaH was a good day but it was sooo freakin hot. Thats why we left early. It was like living in Townsville again... And definately would have been interesting if it was raining whilst going up that windy road. Was good fun. OMY33 watched me try take out a motorbike on the high way hehe :P btw im KIDDING PPL.

Firstly a congrats to the organisers of this event, it was very well done! Im sure that the destination was fantastic too BUT unfortunately I didn't make it that far!!!! With the heat and the traffic that we encountered from Aspley I think that I killed a coil pack. Stopped off the side of the Daguilar Hwy to cool down for 15min but to no avail. After an hour of snoozing she started and ran fine so I made a bee-line for home but 20min later lost a cylinder again, luckily managed to limp home on only five!!!!

you must have been behind me in mt mee then (around the dirt road area.) there was one broken down there.

who has sunburn - i do.

A huge thanks to the organisers and fellow skyliners for such a great day! Even if a few of us did take the scenic route and arrived fashionably late at Mt Mee... ;) Food was awesome and it was fantastic to catch up with everyone again!

So glad we left when we did! We had to stop off at Garden City for half an hour or so to put the skyline undercover, as we had heard there was hail down our way. But by the time we left we had a good run home with only a bit of heavy rain.

Once again thanks to everyone!

was a great day and was lovely to meet everyone. :D soo hot and still no air con...thou i talked to a few people and a lot of us discoverd that all our air cons need re gassing. next time i am bringing sunscreen lol soo burnt. congrats to teh organisers great day ;)

absolutely brilliant day......had a ball...

congratulations and thanks to the organisers.....it was well worth it and got some good fuel consumption from the liner for a change....was HOT HOT HOT but that didnt melt my mood....

THANKS AGAIN AND CANT WAIT TO SEE PICS!!!

Congrats all on a good say out ... bit hot but im glad my aircon works good

And i got home to the westside just before storm hit.

Was the Cefiro ok on way home? I passed it along lutwyche rd and then again at milton i think after i stopped with it bonnet up

I wished I could have stopped to check they were ok.

Great day out. Congrats to the organisers. Should be a great 12 months ahead. I'm with you on the no air con situation. The re-gas has jumped priority !!

Met a lot of new people and put some faces to forum names. I think a special thanks needs to go to Chris who was over the hot BBQ plate practically the entire time. As much as we were hot he must have been roasting. Thanks mate.

congrats to the organisers!! my first skyline cruise and it was fantastic!! the route taken was excellent!! but may i suggest that next year, no matter where the cruise goes, u start a little closer to the outskirts of brisbane so we dont get broken up by all the taffic lights. the hypermarket is a great spot with lots of room, but the traffic lights made it difficult to get so many cars out. but all in all, Fantastic! A++!!

Had fun today though I got burnt mainly from standing around, the mrs, on the other hand, got badly burnt.

Didn't run into any rain on the way back to Nambour(where the mrs lives) but on the way back to Bribie, I think I ran into the mother of all storms.

Within a short period of time, the back road from Beerburrum to Caboolture was underwater in about 4 places.

Old Toorbul Point Road was very nicely flooded and my Skytara didn't do too well through the deep water but I made it out the other side and home.

    • 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
