Thanks for organising Matt, had mad fun and it was great to catch up with quite a few of you guys as well as meet some new faces.

Terry and I also had a nice "mini cruise" with Sean, Woodsy, Owen and Patrick on the way back up North.

I've taken a few pics which I'll also upload later.

oh I almost got taken out by some dumb blonde Green P plater in a white junkbox... i was practically beside her when she thought it would be a good idea to get into the left lane the look on her face was priceless but many bricks were passed into my underpants...

Thanks to Matt for organising it, see you at the next cruise probably! Had a great day, got half my face sunburnt - it's a great look, as well as my arm..

Could you have guessed my passenger who was taking most of the photos was a bit of a fan of Terry's GTR? wub.gif

didnt catch up with the main group till it got to the pie shop thanks to a dodgy GPS and a sleepy gf but was great to see everyone there even if table space and shyness prevented me from getting to know everyone but it was good to be able to put a few more faces to forum names and then join them for the final leg.

unfo' we were all held up by a rather twee couple in a little Bimmer on the way down the mountain but at least the low speeds and hairpin corners allowed me to glance back and see the R34's in all their glory as they navigated the tricky terrain.

more calories were consumed in Berry before everyone went their separate ways and we almost had a run in with a VL club who looked even more out of place than we did in the boutiquey tourist town.

and oh yeah mini cruise part way home was awesome, wish i had some video of me catching up to you guys on that inside lane as i swept down from the mountain, glorious views out to the ocean in the background and even better views of all that shiny JDM metal in front of me getting closer and closer..perfect.

wanted to stretch the cruise out but i can sit on ten under the limit for only so long :P

dont know how u batch resize all your pics to fit in here but lazy ole me just did a select all upload to fbook and heres the link..

Lot's of terrific Pics! Fantastic pics! And many thanks for comments - gratefully for my car and not for me...

...because I apologise for being late - and therefore not as sociable as I usually am.

I also apologise for missing the Bulli Pass turnoff and leading some of you the wrong way into a precarious U-Turn > SH!T

Asian driver in me - LOL. Oh yeah, I nearly rear-ended a bikie on turn 6 of Mac Pass. Oh well - be warned, next time!

And in case you're having trouble holding your tongue about a giant rear wing being owned by a 60 yr old, may I say this...

one person here on SAU and also another on Prelude Australia would love to take that C/F rear wing off me - lol

Many thanks to Matt for putting this on, especially when...

* his own car is in pieces

* those pieces are at someone else's garage

* he can't enjoy driving

Great to drive a great road with my son Matt + enjoy company with Owen, Owen, Matt, David, Patrick, Andrew, Micael, Brian, Genelle, Sean, Steve-0, Indi and others I met at the Pie Shop.

I think we need the give the Pie Shop facia a new coat of paint with R32/R33/R34 pics all over it!

    • Welcome Jan, It's very likely that you are in over your head. You'll just have to learn to swim hard and fast! These old rust buckets have more ways to bankrupt us than almost any other car. But hopefully there's nothing wrong that ruins the whole show! We can help a fair bit. There's plenty here who've been fixing these things for >25 years. cheers
    • Hi all. First off, thanks for reading my post. So end of last season I put the car away knowing I was leaking at least two fluids. One of them being rear turbo's oil. I went to my car recently that is waiting in a garage to take a peek with my boroscope to try and see if I can narrow down the souce of oil before taking it out of storage. What I found is not so great I think. The rear turbo is (probably) leaking from the oil drain. The hose and it's clamps are probably the original ones, so most likely just worn out or loose. However I spotted a line of rust going straight down from the turbo oil feed, as if water leaked out of there at some point. Also explains the red liquid that was dripping from my front subframe, which I initially thought was power steering. I can even see coolant drops hanging off the side of the oil pan as well. After a quick hit on the web I found a select few discussions about porous engine blocks. My question is if the pics of the turbo oil feed and the left hand side of the block (imgur link below) looks like it could be exactly that to you. Maybe someone in the community has seen it before and knows what it looks like. If it actually is a porously leaking block, has anyone attempted at fixing it with simple methods like putting a sealer in the cooling system and using something like jb weld on the block surface, or will it just leak in 2 weeks again? I could not find any detailed info or pictures on this topic. If I need a new engine, tell me softly. https://imgur.com/a/knVvmZ8
    • Hey all. I'm 23 and from Germany, September last year I bought a mildly modded 1995 GTR Vspec. Looks great and was fun so far, but I already have a list of issues of various severity that I need to take care of, potentially growing longer the closer I look. I just hope I'm not in over my head, I really want to keep the car and work towards it becoming great. I hope y'all will help me out in getting there, I am positive I will need help sooner rather than later to figure out how to proceed. greetings, some pics of the car I posted to imgur. https://imgur.com/a/StKkabz
    • Would be interesting what the price would be without the barracuda wheels. Looks like he dropped it down to 40k. Maybe his mate wasn't correct about the 50k evaluation. Has always been a dream of mine to own an auto 33. Looks like I'll have to keep saving my pocket money or ask mum for more pocket money.
    • Thinking about importing a stagea as a family car since i’m getting married this year, thoughts? Me and my fiance both like stageas, but don’t have any experience with them
