Well i've never been on a cruise so it would up to someone else to put it together. But if everyone puts ideas forward like a place to start, BBQ, or place to have lunch.

Do people do night time cruises?

Put ideas down and lets see what happens

Ok, well the best bet i think will be to pick a date with a bit of lead time and go with it. A day cruise i think would be best for those who might potentially come up from bunbury way (if there is anything other than utes down there...jj) or like our thread starter from Gero. Good dedication!

So maybe a Saturday or Sunday from 11ish, start in the city, head out through the hills for a lunch spot Mundaring Weir way and back into the city. Realistically with how hard to plan peoples availability these things tend to be, it will need to be after easter, so 18-19 April weekend would be earliest I would think.

Hey guys another Perth V35 owner. I only just got my car. Imported it through J-spec. Will put some pics up with the timeline as welll. I would be down for a cruize any time:-)

Heer is a pic of the car in Tokyo.

Need to take some new pics with the car all detailed:-)

Cheers Deano

There are obviously others around, have seen [sTR8 G] a couple of time in North Perth, who ever own [VV 35 WA] lives a couple of blocks south of me, have seen a couple of black ones around and a lady who works at the same company as me has one but I guess they aren't forum regulars/users :P

edit: looks at str8g's pics haha, hey you had a pic of a silver car for your avatar :)

ill be organising a vq cruise late april early may. this gives time for v35 owners to join sau and prepare for this. also will be with some of the z boys from perth soo hopefully we can make it happen. stay tuned.

ps. im 7th? plus i know a few more guys on this forum. pulp (nice blue v) and kurt (white anni edition with 10k+ sound system) and 2 others that havnt joined as yet.

its been a long time coming guys :P

Bump

We need more WA V35's if we're going to do a cruise.

I think the count is 6

Yeh fair point, obviously the more the better, so maybe someone should flick a PM to those guys we know are on SAU with a 35 but maybe dont hit the forums as often as they used to. With that said though, I'd still be happy to roll with 6 cars if it came to it, its ok to start small!

Also, on the vq cruise, whilst it would definately get good numbers I must say I am really keen to also do a just 35's as per this thread, I guess its something about being an import... theres something about being prepared to forego warranty, sometimes DIY import, tough out insurance dramas and the like that I personally am keen to chat over with others. Not to mention getting that damn Jap stereo the way we want it!

To any guest V35 owners in WA. If your having trouble with the registery on SAU it might be your email address. "Westnet" address sometimes don't work. get a hotmail one, thats what i had to do. don't know why.

Hope to see more WA owners, and if you know anyone in WA with one get them on SAU so we can meet up :D

lol its not only 6. i have 4 other members which i know will be interested. also 3 others with 4 doors so thats 7. havnt heard from some of them for a while and was going to hit them up for the cruise i was going to organise. if you guys really just want a v35 cruise then best bet would be near end of year as 6 wouldnt really be considered a cruise and dont know how fun it would be. imo 15+ would be ideal. pick a bbq spot then meet and chat with new ppl/v35 owners.

that being said if you guys still want to go ahead with this cruise and having trouble with maps etc i have a few. some have had runs and others made but havnt had the opportunity for the go ahead.

either way would be a great day and would be funny to see ppl turning heads and questioning themselves what car we are driving. :P

    • My take on gg2 48mm, 54mm, 58mm, and 62mm compressor map for same size compressor vs gg1 : All gg2 only outflow gg1 above 20 psi. As all g gen 2 surge line at lower left of comp map move to the right, all gg2 sacrifice spool vs same size gg1, surge line move to the right worst for 54mm gg2. So for same size compressor if you want best response, use gg1, if you want max hp at >20psi use gg2 but you will be laggier vs same size gg1. Max compressor efficiency drops to max 75% on all gg2 vs max 76%-80% of same size gg1. Iirc lower efficiency means hotter iat less dense air so lower hp at same operating point of comp map. Also curious why gg2 is mapped to lower max rpm vs same size gg1 (only 48mm size both gg1 gg2 mapped to same rpm) : 54mm gg1 165,000 rpm  vs  gg2 160,000 rpm. 58mm gg1 150,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000rpm. 62mm gg1 145,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000 rpm. If gg2 can safely spin to gg1 rpm then they can flow a bit more than as mapped. Good thing that all gg 2 interchange compressor and turbine housings with same size gg 1. So gg1 owners can buy gg2 chra only if planning to boost >20psi.
    • My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.
    • A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call 
    • Ask me a bit later this week before payday
    • I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛
