This cruise was a lot of fun ay,

even tho half of us got lost up in the hills! it gave me a great experience, and i got to test out my coil overs

some of those turns were hell sharp (good drift roads)

it was pretty hard to see the turns half the time especially going at like 100km

when we got to the end of road to turn back around to get out of the hills i almost hit 2 kangaroos, lucky i was going slow or i would have done some damage. Had to slam my brakes...

On orrong road i almost got flashed at the lights, i went through at orange and i just made it through but then i see flashes...and i saw another skyline behind me...must have passed through red. Bad luck to whoever that was.

Also bad luck to the silver wrx who got pulled over by the cops for having only one tail light working..

I had 2 cops following me for a while lucky i didn't get stopped.

Good communication skills and all to get us all out of that crazy place haha

lucky i made it back home with an empty tank :cheers:

If I did that I wouldn't have seen the fuckhead in the Chaser until I'd cleaned him up :( he's lucky I didn't happen across him at the next meet point.

true true, i guess to do it you have to trust every one your with, and with such a big turn out there's going to be dickheads like that there

Bubba.... what did the chaser look like if you don't mind me asking? (i.e colour etc and what did the guy look like if you remember)?

[OVAXCITED] pearl white, auto, kept dropping single wheelers, dunno what the guy looked like.

Haha that would be my dad in his R32 GTR VSpec II! Late life crisis ay :(

Nice1! he certainly wasn't shy with it either, I was barely keeping up with him round a bend onto Tonkin.. I was like "fkn gtrs!" heh

biggest turn out ive seen i think. sor meet was a good size then people nor at galleria must of spun out when us sor turned up together to make carpark even more packed. was fun tho. did anyone notice that everyone was hesitant to give it a bit on the freeway towards nor meet? not used to seeing 50 performance cars going steady without breaking speed limit lol. it is a cruise afterall i guess. Always fun driving with a big group tho. love it. good work.

I closed my side mirrors in through the hills, its not like you looking behind yourself anyway... I must admit though I wanted to be doing ~20kms/hr faster in the hills but my drivers headlight is pointing straight down so I wasn't blinding people in front of me :P

You were behind me up the hill I think, he ended up overtaking all of us.

      I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it

      If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣

      I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.

      R32 GTR clutch master cylinder adapters

      Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.

      Not required but appreciated. Super Coppermix Twin even the non-competition model feels like the pedal is noticeably heavier than stock which was pretty well judged IMO. I'll be swapping in the Nismo operating cylinder soon to see how that feels.  Personally I haven't felt anything that justifies replacing the damping loop, at least compared to more modern stuff where the clutch delay valve is actually quite noticeable.
