yes smoothline and srutto orgainse is //GC meeting point. BP coomera is always a great location to meet! even if we dont cruise much it would just be cool to meet up and have a chat.

Unwritten law carrara is a bit on the southside but its all good! its just a forum joke as they said

A cruise for Team //GC?

Well I know it has been done to death, but I have been hitting the Springbrook Ranges and going the mountain way down to Murwillumbah the last couple of weekends.

Not a bad little run, doesn't have the camber on the roads that Mt Nebo does, so you can't take the corners at 100KPH or so, but still a pleasant drive and there are picnic places all along the way.

Round trip without waypoints and breaks would be about 3 1/2-4 hours

What do people think of that for team //GC first "official" (cough cough) cruise? We could even go further west or south if need be

Rekona big cruise once a month would be great. I'm not much for city driving either. Like the more open roads. I know I would show to a few once a month cruises, and probaly small ones on the side's if any1 running any.

U guys don't have a bbq or anything like that. Rekon that would be good a cruise out threw the country and a bbq lunch @ a nice big park. Well hope some cruises get organeised soon. The last cruise threw nebo and mt me was gr8.

GO TEAM //GC :P

I'll be in it, I have driven the currumbin to murwilumbah road a couple of times, but due to a very wet slick road :) I had a BLAST!

So the Coomera BP that's the one on the northbound side right, near Dreamworld.

Set the Time and Date and I'm there!

I do also think that once a month is good, that gives all time to organise the time to be free to be able to attend.

Passing the buck onto the next person to do the route and organise the where and when is a great idea! Not only do you then get a variety of places to go, it also gets people into doing some research into some of the places they choose and would make for a more interesting trip in my opinion.

Also how bout meeting weekly at the BP Coomera/Yatala just to say hello, I would be in that as both are just a quick hop from me, I'd love to get together and just chat 'lines :). Any weeknight is great for me, weekends I usually have reserved, and any time later than 6:30pm-7pm is good for me.

So who's in?

So, I guess we could say there is plenty of interest... Enough to make a cruise out of it... Lets call it: Mad Mountain //GC Style

- Can I assume that Sundays are best for everybody?

- And if we choose a Sunday, that early morning would be the best time to get away?

- BP Coomera a fair starting point?

- Brissy people can pick a better location to meet at and cruise together down to BP Coomera if need be...

- I was already thinking along similar lines to Nexus9 in terms of //GC to Murwillumbah through Numinbah Valley... Everyone in agreeance??

- We can either leave from the BP and just head straight for Nerang (along the M1) and then on towards Hinze Dam / Numinbah Valley.

- Or leave from the BP and head out through Maudsland / Tamborine and then back in towards Nerang before heading on towards Hinze Dam / Numinbah Valley...

- Do we wanna stop for a BBQ anywhere? Or just keep driving until we find some civilisation and food?

Add your thoughts here interested parties and once it's agreed upon, we can make it official!!!

:headspin: !!!GO TEAM //GC!!! :headspin:

heh nice one NIZ.... U were almost on ur way to Sydney on that crooze to Fingal we did about 6 months ago when u missed the exit ;)

I am keen to get out croozin too, I will be a gold coast local next week so I am looking forward to meeting some coasties (nexus9, strutto, belgarion, MJ, melv)....

I will be spewing if the Bris skyline scene gets its act together after i have moved away....

I got carried away with that HSV that was up the side of me. lol

Saturdays are better for me and where we go dont matter much ;)

Anyone just want to have get togethers during the week? Just get together and talk crap and show off our cars to the poor smucks driving crappy fords and holdens, those knuckle draggers!

TEAM //GC RoCkZ!

Sunday is good for me Strutto and if you need help organising I am willing ;)

We should probably do a practise run within the next couple of weekends so we have directions, waypoints and a lunch break area organised.

Early morning start is good so we can beat most of the traffic.

I think that your suggestion of leave from the BP and head out through Maudsland / Tamborine and then back in towards Nerang before heading on towards Hinze Dam / Numinbah Valley and on to Murwillumbah is a goer.

Are most people happy with that chain of events?

Lets make the first real skyline cruise of the year a big one folks ;)

Yeah wouldn't it look awesome if everyone in Brissie met up and then cruised down, I can just see it now, a fleet of sexy skylines as far as the eye can see all travelling down the M1 :D

Well might not be that many, but still would look very cool!

early morning sunday runs are good stuff, used to do these with a few mates but you need to go really early to beat the traffic, say 6am latest. i'm in.

I think that your suggestion of leave from the BP and head out through Maudsland / Tamborine and then back in towards Nerang before heading on towards Hinze Dam / Numinbah Valley and on to Murwillumbah is a goer.

sounds good, and those of us with leaking fuel tanks can refill at nerang :P

I was bored so I decided to test out my l337 mspaint skills and for all those people who don't know where the BP at Commera is see the map attached, which is probably no one, but anyway, if this helps out just one person, my job is done :)

    • @soviet_merlin Thanks mate!  Nothing too major but will hold me up for a while. I've got lymphomas to get taken off the back of my neck and the middle of my spine which always conjures scary thoughts!  It sounds worse than it is. Yeah great, conjuring more rabbit hole deepening , just what I need! 🤣  
    • I'd argue the F50 kit I got is very good value. For ~2k I got the calipers (refurbed condition), adapters, pads, brake lines, rotors, and top hats. I think you'd be pretty hard to get Evo/GTR/350z brembos + the additional hardware for similar money. Used market for a pair of front calipers alone I've seen tend to run anywhere from $1500-2000 depending on condition.    That said, something like a GTR or 350z brembo is a lot easier to adapt to the Silvia. 
    • Is there a significant price difference between the Evo/gtr/350z brembos vs the F50? Looks amazing.
    • I was actually being a tightarse at the time LOL... My OCD is tickling me into running a 2nd 8AN Teflon hose all the way down and removing the 2x OEM hardlines. My other side of my brain is telling me to run 2x hardlines front to back (also acts as a fuel cooler, so win win).
    • As I mentioned in an earlier post, I had some trouble with the Silvia's brakes dragging back in 2023. I managed to sort it out then, but the same problem came back to bite me late last year. Just take a look at the picture – I had a feeling the handbrake was acting up again, and I was right. Anyway, I'd been wanting to upgrade to bigger brakes for a while. Not that the Silvia's brakes were bad, but it was more of a "want" than a "need", you know? It was funny, though – at the time, I couldn't find any Evo Brembos, 350Z Brembos, or GTR Brembos for a decent price (of course, tons of them popped up online after I already bought my kit!). I ended up going with an F50 Brembo kit, which came with adapters, brake lines, 330mm rotors, and top hats. The F50 Brembo caliper was used in a few other cars too, like the FPV. I also decided this was the perfect opportunity to ditch the Silvia's ridiculous rear brakes and that awful handbrake (some of you were definitely right about that!). I picked up some R33 calipers and all the necessary bits – rear drums, backing plates, and new hardware to refurbish the calipers. Of course, it wouldn't be a project without a few hiccups. Turns out the brake master cylinder was playing up and basically (to put it simply) keeping the brakes engaged. I had it overhauled, and after some adjustments, everything was working again. The whole process took a while, as you can imagine. To top it off, the front right wheel bearings were shot and needed replacing too. This is a rare occasion where I'm posting an update while it's all still fresh! These pictures were taken just this afternoon.
