run home was good. no traffic like usual on a sunday.

what did everyone think overall?

personally there were a few mistakes on my part. which I will correct on the next cruise.

the ending I got a bit out of whack as I was trying to raise the other two cars via two way and missed a turn.

the UHF radio that I had (thanks andrew!!!) were commercial items . range was great ontehm as I was talking to brad and andrew whilst they were still on the hill whilst john and I were already on the flats. I had not idea what band they were on but it was not the 460mhz band. for the 3 of us using them they worked well and kept car spacing fairly even. not sure what was happening on ch8 UHF.

the road to hunchy (razorback rd) was a blast when I did it in the van and a HELL of a lot better in a R32. the astra driver that was in front of us realised quite quickly that there were a lot of cars behind him and moved out of the way.

I had a blast and I know that John (isola) was having his share of fun as well. colin you are a mad man !!

thanks for the support from the SAU team and you guys!!! without you it would not have happened. keep watching as there is another in the works!!

I have a SW and border run already in the mix. border run has already been mapped all I have to do is set a weekend aside to finalise the run before opening it up to the public.

for the next one I will have a 5w hand held UHF and the commercial units.

keep the feedback coming!!

It was a good day and a great drive. Razorback was well fun (even though you were hunting for a brake pedal on the passenger floor, Chris ;) ).

Looking forward to another one!

And Kenny, you bitch... where was my hello?! Actually... what car was yours?

Maaate, I was sitting opposite Chris on the table, my car was the wine red R32 GTR, OZR32 number plates. Where were you mang?

I was in the lead car with Chris. Red 32 with tri spoke wheels.

And I was sitting at one end of the table. I was looking for a white stag!

Hey Chris,

Other than those minor things (which I didn't really notice) it was a really fun way to spend a day, and man were those lunches HUGE. I'll be attending again, maybe in the wedge next time. :)

I know a few people took pics / videos on the day, any chance of some links or something??

there is a facebook page for it. search SAUQLD . if it wont let you add things - make request via the page and I'll sort it from there.

    • Convert to dual filament bulb   FWIW, it will look odd - I dare say a bit dumb as it looks like your flasher relay has shit the bed.
    • If the RB20 box in the car is a push clutch, then yes, you will need to deal with the pull clutch on the turbo box. You either buy a pull clutch and don't use the old one, or you do the things needed to convert the turbo box's clutch arrangement over to push. Which is a bit of a f**karound. "Making" a custom tailshaft is the easy part. But you will need to source the front clip yoke - the bit that goes into the output of the gearbox. These are not as easy to find. They are out there, but they don't grow on trees the way that they used to.
    • Indicator bulbs are way too bright to use as a "corner marker" (we call them parking lights too). Sure. Go ahead and do it. But realise that you wil need to come up with all your own wiring to do it, as no-one will have a standard howto worked out for Skylines. It's just a matter of abandoning everything that Nissan have done and starting from scratch. You'd probably be better off retrofitting tailght/brakelight globe bases into the front indicator housings and using the taillight circuit for your corner marker and the brake light as the indicator. You'd need to work out how to kill the marker circuit while the indicator is flashing, otherwise it won't flash on-off, just bright-less bright.
    • Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice  
    • Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
