Agreed, Macedon Summer run would be wicked. Some of those little back roads on the way to Yea were pretty awesome although somewhat tight is some sections. The weather was pretty average but that made it a little more challenging, I've never really been too keen to take the GTR out to the twisty's in the wet so it was good to see where it starts to break free. I def need new front tyres, those Jap made Bridgy Adrenalines are SHITE!! one of the worst tyres I have ever had in the wet. The Kuhmo's on the back held all day no matter how hard I stamped on the GO pedal :)

Thanks Dan for putting together such a great cruise! Had an awesome time. Unfortunatly I had to turn back after we got to Yea but had fun nonetheless. Finally had a chance to take the XR through some twisties and it was great! Thanks Al for keeping me company all day too :)

Looking forward to the next one!

Dave, good work.

How much lower than before?

You may need to bin these side skirts and rear bar for factory aero.

Off to the garage to see what else I may have break :)

Had a great day driving, was a little too wet for a real beating through those twisties though. I wish I had of known about that Bakery with great pies as those chips and nuggets were not the greatest from the place I went to. I need new tires on my fronts as under steer was ridiculously sketchy through those decent corners I almost went off the road and no 4WD didn't help either.

Thanks to Dan for organizing the day I had a ball.

Mt Buller sounds good

spewing i missed it, but estactic about what i got instead...

I picked up my car from MiColour and omfg he is an absolute Wizzard!

His workmanship is unbelievable, and the rear bar is better than ever!

I'll hopefully see you all next weekend.

oh, and any pics??

What did you break on the cruise?

Good question actually...

I'm baffled but will re check the clamps (have checked them 4 times already!) then check the piping, hope I get it sorted before Saturday so I can drive up to Shepparton - failing that, borrow my mum's mighty Corolla.

pics fellas!

I took my DSLR but took no pics after the meet up. It was way to wet to be taking the camera out :down:

I do have video but at 150MB per 10mins, it's a bit big to upload anywhere. Plus it's incar footage so usually just the back of the cars in front of me ;)

    • It's unfortunate what Tomei USA has done to Tomei's name in general. I'm very weary of ordering parts from them now. I only order direct from a Japanse source (e.g Nengun). At least their logos are different, so you end up knowing what you have. 
    • Update Issues 5 (plus #4) - 10 After making a claim about issue #4's missing part, DeAgostini Japan sent a whole new issue #4 and it arrived about 2 weeks after that. That was back in early March. It took another 4 weeks to receive issues 5 - 13 though. This update is for issues 5 - 10. Ove the 5 issues the front left suspension and most of the engine have been completed. The quality of the castings and fit of the parts is quite good, it seems better than DeAgostini's BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the Fast & Furious 2 movie, which (to me anyway) doesn't seem to have as tight tolerances or quite as accurate castings.  Each issue has a lot of info about the 1989 - 1993 Skyline range and other Nissan models from that era, but the focus is on the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo and the various racing it did in Japan, Europe (Spa 24hrs) and of course Australia. I've included some text translated with Google Lens in some photos and will add to them if there's anything worth including. 
    • If it's for a SR20, make sure it's not the American Poncams, might as well call them Poocams. Had a set in a friend's car, all scuffed up after a few track days. Like the metallurgy Tomei USA used is junk. Went back to JDM OG Tomei Poncams, no issues till now.   Tomei USA is not the real OG Tomei.   Random rant over, fk the US of A, bunch of c u n t s. 
    • Most of the industry in North America either runs on Siemens or Allen Bradley. I have two redundant S7-1500's on my desk right next to me for simulation. Siemens has been losing ground though since Stuxnet, as cybersecurity is a big thing. In my line of work that is federally regulated, you must by law have a cybersecurity management program in place and its audited and inspected every so often.  I work with Emerson PLC's daily (RX3i's) and have done large biogas/refinery projects with their DCS's. Their PLC's are somewhat OK minus the way they do PLC redundancy (You have to download on both PLC's separately every time you make a change )  As for their DCS's... you'll be limited financially first before anything else stops you. Costs are exorbiant at roughly 10x what it would cost you to do with any other system (e.g AB PAC).  1990's, those suckers are brand new haha! Kraft-Heinz (An old client when I use to work for an ESP) still runs Siemens TI505 PLC's from the mid 80's. Ohh how I don't miss working with those... you could only do a certain number of online downloads until it's "Change" buffer would be full and you would then need to go offline to do a full download. There was no warning of when this was coming up and it generally would happen when you would go in at 2am to make changes before production -_-.
