Erin, I am sorry but I have to pull out because of personal reasons, not with anyone here or anything, just some stuff is happening that comes before skylines, and there is not much so it's important, hope you all have a farking good time though, I am very dissapointed that I am going to miss this :)

Oh well dems da brakes!

Knore, as far as I know there isn't any pot holes/bar roads that we travel on. It's all main highway so there could well be seeming all our taxes go into setting up operations for hoons and not fixing up the shocking state of QLD roads.

That's the reason I changed the meeting spot, I personally dont really want to drive my car over dirt after I've spent all damn day cleaning it :)

That's good to hear, I'm sure there are plenty of us who are scared of driveways.

I wouldn't get too excited about washing the car too early, rain is predicted all weekend. :O

Sorry Bob, but I will have to pull out..... ;)  

I "FORGOT" about a wedding that I RSVP'd to a month ago that is on, you guessed it the same night.....

Have fun all

Cam :O

Actually in all seriousness Ang is not feeling well.... so it looks quite possible that I WILL meet you @ Springwood...

Ok thanks erin,

yeh i DEFINATELY cant drive on dirt, my front bushes are split, i wouldnt feel safe at all.

My front bar is fairly low, its about 8cm at the lowest point

Its getting raised an inch a few days after the cruise :)

Also ive gotta say now if its raining ill probably have to miss it, i dont trust the bushes that much especially driving on water :Bang:

Im praying for the best

I bet the water usage goes up today from the 50+ people cleaning their skylines hehe :headspin:

Hey all, im sorry to say that i most likely wont be there tonight, it could be possible to meet up later but i doubt it. We still have to wire up the entire gearbox and build an entire exhaust system so definately dont wait up for me, have fun though guys.

Drive Safe!

I really wish it could of made it but theres just too much left, by exhaust i mean headers as well, and theres probably a good 2-3 hours of wiring and my mechanic stayed the night to get an early start on the car and i wake up and he's no where to be seen, his daily driver is gone but the 10sec ute is still in the driveway??? not answering phone but fare trade i say :)

    • Honestly, for a daily I would gladly rock a Camry. The more disposable the better. People drive horribly out here and road conditions are awful.
    • Verify it's going into each of the 4 gears in normal acceleration, make sure the torque converter locks up over ~65-70 kph or so at low throttle opening. If you ease into the throttle at those speeds eventually you should get a "gear" between 3rd unlocked and 4th locked. It should downshift eventually if you floor it at 65 kph too. Get some Matic D ATF and drain the pan, check for signs of sadness in fluid and drain plug magnet. Top off to the correct level afterwards. If the transmission is worth saving you can drop the pan on a second drain and change the filter while you're at it. These are not complicated transmissions, at least compared to modern stuff.
    • A seat I find stupidly comfortable to sit in is the one in a friend's Merc Race Car. It even has the huge wings that wrap around your head. Best ever. Only issue is climbing through his scaffolding he put up in the doorway of the car... Ha ha ha. I sat in that seat for a couple of hours doing wiring. Another stupid comfortable seat I find, especially if my back is aching, is my OMP fixed back bucket seat too. I'll just sit on it when I'm exhausted in the garage sometimes to relax!
    • I just got off the phone with Dean from Vosta in Brisbane. They are the ones that do the replica seats and they have a shop full of seats for my to try out. Lovely guy.  I haven't decided whether to go genuine or replicas, I'm leaning towards Genuine at this point but who knows.  Also thinking the STRADIAs are the way to go VS the GIAS since they have a lower hip edge and would be easier to get into. Don't really like the idea of arm rests on the models to the right of this diagram either, maybe they can be removed?
    • From my own first hand experience, keeping power for a fun Street able skyline down at a responsive low 200 wheel KW, is the best. It makes it super drive able through the twisties, you're not just smashing mass wheel spin, or only able to open the throttle for a split second before being at absurd speeds. That said, plenty of people like being morons at more than double the speed limit on public roads and hence are happy with 600whp and seeing 200kmh fly up frequently and fast. Also, at that low 200, a GTR can still do a decent quarter mile, and with a bit of fancy  clutch work (foot, not the parts) can still beat many many cars in a traffic light gp, even in the wet.
