New! - Gold Coast Gtr Club

[kymbo]

The time has arrived to start a dedicated 'Gold Coast GTR Club' and a monthly cruise night to give it a starting point and some focus.

The new R35 GTR has put Nissan and the GTR into the 'Supercar' league and with more R35's coming on line every month and many very fine examples of R32, R33 & R34 GTR's getting around, the time has come to have an official and regular meeting place and time for all 'Godzilla's' on the Gold Coast.

FIRST SATURDAY NIGHT OF EVERY MONTH STARTING IN MAY 2011 - 9.00PM - INDY/V8 SUPER CAR 'PIT LANE' CAR PARK, MAIN BEACH

The Gold Coast has always got the biggest buzz on a Saturday night with mega amounts of people and hot cars about and the 'Pit Lanes' are certainly appropriate for GTR's. The Pit Lanes are perfect for Gold Coast owners since it is equidistant from the North, South and Western extremities of the Gold Coast.

GTR owners from Brisbane and elsewhere may also see it as a good excuse to take a trip to the Gold Coast for a weekend, with the Saturday night run as a bonus. The 9.00pm start time allows everyone to first have dinner and besides, the Gold Coast only starts warming up on the streets around 10.00pm on a Saturday night.

GTR owners from interstate can even get a billet ride for the night if they are up on holiday. Just rock up on the night, introduce yourself and I am sure someone will have some space?

1 - 9.00pm meet, greet & chat at the 'Pit Lanes'.

2 - 10.00pm Cruise down the GCH through Surfers to Mermaid, U turning at Magic Mountain for the run back up.

3 - Through Broadbeach, then through Cavill & Orchid Ave Surfers, cruising on to the McCafe at Labrador next to the Bob Jane T Mart for Coffee and a snack (lots of parking space)

4 - Back down through Southport returning to the PIt Lanes for final chats and farewells.

We will probably end up drawing a small crowd into the Pit Lanes by that time, maybe even chatting to like minded car lovers with other marques.

We will let some of the other brands/clubs know over time, so if they wish, they can mix their agenda in with ours. It would certainly make it interesting!

We will even get the word to Porsche owners, so they can come along and be reminded what it fees like to be crushed by a Nissan.

And of course, you should welcome your friends with interesting performance orientated cars.

PLEASE NOTE: ABSOLUTELY NO HOONING OR EXCESSIVE NOISE in or anywhere near the Pit Lane area, or the Gold Coast Council will end up banning us from using it as a meeting point.

If you get nabbed by the Police for any reason whilst we are on the cruise, too bad, you deal with it!

You know where we are going and you can catch up later.

See you there

Hi guys

OK!

McIntosh Island is the Park between Surfers Paradise and Main Beach, right near the beach between the Gold Coast Highway and Marine Parade.

The Pit Lane Car Park is the main carpark alongside the Gold Coast Highway opposite Paradise Waters.

If you look up 'Paradise Waters' you will see the intersection that takes you into Paradise Waters is the same that is linked to the Pit Lanes on the opposite side.

Just had a thought. If you know the BIG Purple and Maroon Highrise in the front of Paradise Waters, the car park is directly opposite.

More thoughts. If you are coming from the North through Souhport, drive over the Southport bridge keep heading towards Surfers, When you see the BIG purple and Maroon Higrise on the right, look left, the Pit Lane car park entry is coming up!

Official meet time is the first Saturday night of EVERY MONTH. With our first being next SATURDAY, the 7th of May - 9.00pm. If you are a little earlier, no problem!

IF THE POLICE ATTEND, TELL THEM WE ARE ALL PART OF THE NEW GOLD COAST GTR CLUB AND WILL BE VERY WELL BEHAVED!!!!!

The agenda is as per previous posts.

It is an ALL generations GTR Event, however all lovers of GTR's with any other type of performance car, are more than welcome to join in for the meet and the cruise!

REMEMBER! ABSOLUTELY NO HOONING OR EXCESSIVE NOISE IN OR AROUND THE PIT LANE CAR PARK AREA!

We want to be able to use it every month!

Kymbo.

Hey kymbo where are photos going to be uploaded? A link would be great

Hi Guy's, I finally have a chance to make contact and upload some pics. I am having trouble with that. I have to find a better way to scale down the memory. Also, My IPhone camera did a few 'whiteout' pics (Sorry SNipeR33, yours and mine).

Anyway. On the night everybody had a great time.

Regarding Hooning, as I said NONE allowed in or around the pit lane car park area. However, from time to time someone may lose control of there wallet and decide to have a brief squirt through a cash register?

As I have said in the past, if you get pulled over, it is your problem. And that includes myself!!!!!

It concerns me that, some attendees do not feel comfortable with some over exuberance, therefore I suggest we try and contain it as much as possible and save it for the track days, myself included.

BTW, as I seem to recall the only brief bursts of acceleration were outside central surfers, on roads with bus lanes on the left with plenty of forward view. Anyway??!!

I was blown away by the fact that, we had over 25 cars at one point. With a great range of GTR's including R32, R33, R34 (Such a nice one too) & R35's. As well as a good compliment of other Nissan muscle.

We even had a few GTR lovers in an Evo, HSV R8, Supra's and I seem to recall a BMW?

THE NEXT CRUISE NIGHT IS SATURDAY THE 4th OF JUNE - SAME PLACE, SAME TIME - SEE YOU THERE!

BUT THIS TIME WE WILL END UP SOMEWHERE THAT HAS MORE THAN A DRIVE THROUGH OPEN TO GRAB A SNACK ETC.

PS, a few of us are going to the power cruise this Saturday at QR (Mercury Motor sport garage). Maybe see you there as well?

How many 35's did you get in one spot?

[fireboy]

How many 35's did you get in one spot?

think there was 3 35s out that night (maybe more, can't really remember)

[g35me]

Got to top 4 should not be to hard.

[kymbo]

IT'S ON AGAIN

REMEMBER, FIRST SATURDAY NIGHT OF EVERY MONTH.

AS BEFORE, 9PM, PIT LANE CAR PARK MAIN BEACH.

SEE YOU THERE!

Another good night!

Those that attended, enjoyed the cruise. We had a good group of GTR's, GTS a very nice EVO and our friend in the R8. And we all decided to focus more on the sites than a heavy right foot. Only on two occasions did we dare accelerate briskly through to mid 2nd gear, until arriving at the posted speed limit.

The sites through Surfers and Broadbeach were certainly motivation enough to want to go VERY slow. and this time we ended up somewhere we could eat, get decent coffee and have a good old chat!

I will post some pics when I get a chance.

And might I add, not a single self righteous Bureaucrat or pious butt kisser in sight?

Anyway, life goes on. See you at the track.

And see you next month!

[g35me]

Is this still on. I'll be in the area with the Auzrun group.

[g35me]

Maybe not. Just checked the map and we are hours away.

[kymbo]

Apologies to all, can not make it tonight.

However, reading the QLD/Events part of the site, it looks like a few other guys are going!

When you have 4 kids, family stuff sometimes takes over. They never see me during the week because of the long hours (thanks to the GFC), so this is a night that I can remind them they have a dad (family 10 pin bowling night).

I think I will be right for next month, so look forward to catching up then!
