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 ;)

    • That ring thing is interesting how it's holding everything together 
    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
