After reading the Knox TMU thread, there was a silly suggestion to start an Ex-MCCR members thread, so here it is.

So hands up you lot who were an active 'cruiser'.

and yes, I was one......6 years ago. :D

Ah all things MCCR...

James and the CRX i think it was? And there was a Mark involved among others... Long time ago now all that stuff.

Gotta thank MCCR though, out of that another group formed, then another and now i've some of my best mates from it all :D

Not that i ever attended MCCR events, although i know a countless amount of people that did.

Back in 2002/2003 they already had a rather "well known" name... but MCCR dates back to the 1990's.

Especially the "underground" cruises that - whilst meant to be "secret" - i dont think there was anyone in the car scene that didn't know about them? lol ;)

I'm surprised the forums/site is still hosted. Not that anything useful goes on there now, just spam-bots.

yeah i used to attend MCCR events from late 2000 - 2004 :P Was kinda cool getting a last minute sms invite with details about a secret meet up.

Lots of fun times, massive cruises, meets with 300+ cars at Lonely Planet cruising across Melbourne to the car park opposite Bell st Maccas :D Yarra blvd., hills runs up mt dandenong Sky High, special secret "HiPo" ;) invite only cruises only for "fast cars". (You got a special HiPo sticker if you were in the HiPo club). MCCR always had cruises mapped out, and CB's for chatting on the cruise which was funny as the stuff we used to say. Then there were the 'underground' drag meets.. later referred to as "gardening" on the forums. hahah good times :laugh:

hehe, I knew about MCCR but never joined. I was part of Ozcruise while that was still going, same sort of thing but smaller. The name is escaping me but who was the huge cruise club that used to take off from Doncaster Autobarn?

Checking in ;)

Must have been a good 8 years ago (age 15) that I joined up with em. I was a low key member there though...didn't really go to many cruises, except for the Ringwood Autobarn discount days. Went to high school with SIKCVC if anyone remembers him. All the usernames are coming back to me :D

CCC was one.

Commodore Cruise Club.

I went to a few of those meets a long time ago... so many muppets, was funny stuff though.

And then Beastclub came about a couple years later :D

I remember OzCruise.. went on a couple of their meets/cruises around 2004 as MCCR was starting to die out. They used to meet up at MYOB carpark off Burwood Hwy.. some of their cruises ending up down in Narre Warren at JB Hifi. This was all before krispy kremes was around lol

Let's not forget boostcruising.com too :D

I went to a CCC cruise and it was great. It was a very, very big one though. Never seen so many Commodores together in one spot. They were pouring out onto the street the big carpark was that full. Everyone was revving the shit out of their engines and cranking their systems though. Could hardly hear each other over it. Then one of our friends rocked up in his VT SS (308) which had been modified for a naturally aspirated 400kw with a straight out exhaust and sounded like a V8 supercar...every single person in that car park stopped talking haha.

Started cruising in around 2000 with meet ups at brandon park heading down towards the peninsula was very early on on MCCR days from memory. Attennded my fair share of hipo's, drags, cruses and super cruises.

Anyone remember Truno? Random dude.

yeah i remember the Brandon Park meets... the first one i went to was there. The cruises down to Frankston were funny.. 30+ rocking up to Frankston maccas at once. We used to also end up at Doncaster pancake parlour after some of the cruises.

Mark (Trueno) is up in Queensland last I heard.. Remember Simon's 20B rx7? the yellow one with plates ROLIN7. That was a tuff car.

I just remembered. It was 'Hi-Octane'. I went to a few of those CCC and Beastclub cruises (normally only for the meetup.) The Pulsar used to look a little out of place :(

haha yeah. Also used to meet-up at Bayswater Bunnings. The big Ozcruise cruise in 2005/2006 (struggling to remember) that left from The Stamford had about 250-300 cars and we invited the police along. Pettet was there, we got photos with him and his patrol car. They drove with us the whole time and not a single modified car was given any hassle. Those were the days.

    • Convert to dual filament bulb   FWIW, it will look odd - I dare say a bit dumb as it looks like your flasher relay has shit the bed.
    • If the RB20 box in the car is a push clutch, then yes, you will need to deal with the pull clutch on the turbo box. You either buy a pull clutch and don't use the old one, or you do the things needed to convert the turbo box's clutch arrangement over to push. Which is a bit of a f**karound. "Making" a custom tailshaft is the easy part. But you will need to source the front clip yoke - the bit that goes into the output of the gearbox. These are not as easy to find. They are out there, but they don't grow on trees the way that they used to.
    • Indicator bulbs are way too bright to use as a "corner marker" (we call them parking lights too). Sure. Go ahead and do it. But realise that you wil need to come up with all your own wiring to do it, as no-one will have a standard howto worked out for Skylines. It's just a matter of abandoning everything that Nissan have done and starting from scratch. You'd probably be better off retrofitting tailght/brakelight globe bases into the front indicator housings and using the taillight circuit for your corner marker and the brake light as the indicator. You'd need to work out how to kill the marker circuit while the indicator is flashing, otherwise it won't flash on-off, just bright-less bright.
    • Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice  
    • Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
