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!

    • 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.
