Sau Nsw Wisemans Ferry Social Cruise Sunday 19Th Feb 2012

Was there a photo of me getting on the ferry? The Sil80 had a HARD time getting off :|

-Alex

I couldn't take any photos because I was either too busy talking, handing out maps, or turning up late everywhere on the day!

But that's what a couple of us were worried about, we saw a few cars about our ride height make it ON the ferry ok, but had no idea what it would be like on the other side. Would've had to catch the ferry back to the south side again and then reverse off it!

Poor low cars missing out on all the driving fun........pinch.gif

My boat goes everywhere, no point in owning a car that cannot be driven I say, I always say that "low is slow" unless you have spent big dollars on correcting steering geometry, might need to change that to "low is no go" :whistling:

I think it depended on which ferry you caught over, I'll admit my car wasn't the lowest but it managed to get on the ferry fine and get off even easier - on the other side the ferry I was on they managed to make it so it was no worse then going over a lil speed hump to get off.

Still had a great run around the river back down old northern rd through the gorge and up the freeway to mangrove to catch up with the rest of the crew, made good time and wasn't dependent on ride height :P

Yeah mate, I got one of yours getting on. I think I was a micro-second too late though as the shutter closed right when your front right wheel hit the bump/ramp. I will put it up for you tonight if I can.

PS - On a an unrelated topic - does anyone know when your warn status goes back down? Mine hasnt moved in years and I am itching to swear and be humourously abusive again.

Nice collection of photos Michael. Yeah it was a good improvised detour :cheers:

Just made it .I must have been driving on fumes.It doesnt take long for that tank to empty when youre on boost.

Thanks for that mate.Its the best i ve had it running so far.Not bad for 16 psi. I cant wait to tune it at 26 psi and see the figures on the dyno.thumbsup.gif

Your R33 looks and goes fantastic,are you going to the Powercruise this weekend?

Hey Guys, I've been wanting to get on here and post pics of the event but I have been bent over with work. There is no point posting my pics on here as each photo is 16MB, so I loaded the maximum 300MB in one go onto Flickr. I have heaps more so will load more up as soon as I get more space to play with. Link is Below - Enjoy.

    • 2 weeks ago $240 cash. 200-300 per wheel is wild for sandblasting and can't see a wheel costing more then $100 per wheel to powder coat.    
    • Yeah this confirms what I was thinking. Volks are worth a crap load more than my M Sport 17s and 2500 is nuts!  240 is crazy cheap, was this 20 years ago? I have a fairly good air compressor so I'm tempted to get an eBay sand blaster. 
    • I got a quote to restore a set of Volk racing gtc wheels at a wheel restoration shop which involved repainting the centres fixing some small gutter rash and repolishing them and the quote was $2.5k I ended up getting them sandblasted and powdercoated for $240  
    • Nismo 300km/h speedo for R33 gtst in GTR cluster.
    • Has anybody had their wheels refurbished? I reckon it's likely bloody expensive. Even a sand blasting quote for my 17s was 200-300 per wheel! The E39 wheels are basic BMW M Sport (or M Tech at the time.) they have slight rash and some have signs of bad repair in the past on the lips. The main issue is that they've become really off coloured.  I think it will be too much as this is definitely (supposed to be) a budget resto. I've been looking at others for sale but they all have some minor damage and colour issues.  In the end I think I'll just need to sand blast them myself and do a respray.
