Pics from SAU Christmas Beachside Cruise/BBQ - 21/12/03


Recommended Posts

Well the cruise was fun, good value, nice to put faces to names, next time we will have to wear name tags to make it easier because it is awkward for most, including me to do a mass introduction. I am not good at remembering names so I didn't meet every one :Oops: Thanks for the positive comments about my 4 door they are much appreciated. And i hope to see everyones pics posted up soon! :D Looking forward to the next cruise :aroused:

Did the BBQ go ahead? I turned up at the car park at about 2:30, no way in hell i was going to attemp that speed hump in the middle of the car park. Whats with that car park any - what a joke!! Was there another way in?

Didn't see any other liners, apart from a R31 blue and grayish.

Anyway, sorry to miss the cruz

there were two ways in. i'm not sure if both had speed humps or not cant remember the bbq was nice a decent amount of food and drinks about 15 or so cars from memory about 20 people all together some kids as well. Damper was the melbourne weather but wasent too bad.

Should be able to blow up the group pic n get some identification happening.

At this moment in time I'd like to remind ppl to fill out the name field in your user profile in the user cp. It will show your real name and your nick next to your posts (like on mine) and will make identification a lot easier...

Also ppl who have labels in their vans *coff* Al *coff* should pass them around next time instead of remembering about em AFTER the event :P

Excellent work Smithers, Funky can you tee me up with a 150 inch monitor so i can view everything without side scrolling? :bscreen: Fantastic photos of a great day, thanks guys :P

:P I got 2 monitors with that dual view shit happening, so the other half gets shown on the other monitor :) In other news.. i noticed the pic in your avatar has different rims towhat your car was sporting on the day... or are they 2 diff cars altogether?

I have so many spare monitors it's not funny! I must need a kick ass video card! The avatar is from the nissan japan website, an original R33R, this link has since dissapeared and there is no access from the Impul site either :) The rims in the J-spec container will see me with the same rims :P

    • I don't know how this is even possible. I removed the strut to do some work (it came out fine, and keeping in mind that I didn't put things back in the same order, but did this on purpose because I was supposed to remove the strut originally instead I tried to remove other shit first which made things a head ache) but now the problem is that it won't go back in. The alignment between where the bolt hole for the strut is and the j arm where the strut slides onto is way off, about a 10cm difference or more. In order to make it fit I'd somehow need to push it up. I tried to compress it with a spring compressor and install it but the compressor was getting in the way and there was no working room. On the photo you can see the difference between the shock and the thread that it's supposed to go on. The only things I removed in total were - the top bolts for the j arm but I didn't remove the actual j arm - the 3 bolts that hold the plate for the brake lines - the sway bar link (this bolted on back fine) - the strut/shock absorber
    • LOL that sounds pretty conclusive! Yeah if it doesn't work on a tight nut, it doesn't work.
    • Been a while since I've heard anyone mention Kumho tyres. It's like they've fallen off the radar in terms of street/track tyres. I still want to get below 1m50s on the RS-4 tyres at SMSP, just because lol. Even doing a 1m52s lap, going into T1 was sketchy af.
    • I've run most of the semis which are available and sadly you can pretty much rank them by price.  Fast and spendy = Z221, A050, DZ03G Ok and mid range price = R888, V70A, A052 I don't really rate the AR-1 because it's not cheap enough for the performance level offered. Yes, they're much cheaper than A050 but V70A can be had just as cheap and is a much faster and more predictable tyre.
    • There's no current law that stipulates that you cannot eat dessert with a soup spoon, although, it is socially unacceptable of course, shame on you But, there are emissions laws, which is sort of on topic to the OP's questions Things like emissions are, if anything, going to get stricter in the future for road registered cars I believe, 'Merica has yearly emisions testing in some states, the UK has it's yearly MOT testing as well which includes emissions Building, and purchasing modified vehicles may become alot more problematic if you want to keep them registered, how, if, and when each state handles this is anyone's guess  More food for thought really
