Hi Everyone,

Let me start by, I do not wish to offend anyone without a GT-R. I usually do 3-4 cruises a year and have been doing Cruises for the last 11-12 years.

This is the first time I would like to do a GT-R Only cruise. Why? One of my favorite cars of all time are GT-Rs so it has been on my bucketlist.

So it is strictly GT-R Only (Sorry non GTR owners)

If you wish to come or know someone wanting to come who has a GT-R (32, 33, 34 or 35) then you have two options:

1) Email me ([email protected]) and I will keep you updated via email.

2) Add me on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/b333fy) and I will invite you to the Facebook event.

RAIN = CANCEL! Safety is always #1 Priority. if it is cancelled/postponed etc it will clearly stated on Facebook or an email will be sent out.

No Wreckless driving will be tolerated!

We have about 12 GTRs going so far and about 7 maybes .. would be nice to get 20 confirmed (if possible).

Any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

Regards

Brandon

It is more dangerous to drive in the rain even if you are just doing the speed limit. The whole experience of a cruise like this is also capturing the day maybe via photos/videos.

Photos do not look the best in a rainy, gloomy day. Also people get lazy and you get a worse turnout on a rainy day then if the day is a nice one.

I have always cancelled cruises if it rains. It is a rule of mine!

I do not promote wreckless driving but at the end of the day I cannot enforce them to stop. I can report them or ask them to leave.

and ... most times I hear from someone else by this time it is too late as all I can do is make a note and not permit them to come next time.

Trust me rain = cancel is in everyones best interest.

Btw, what is your concern? what brought that question on? Have you heard anything bad about me/GTCC?

Sorry guys. Been very busy with work.

I am going to say its a go ahead .. well at least to the meet spot. We can decide collectively to continue if weather is bad.

If you wish to get the details please email me. To avoid too many gate-crashes I am not going to post the meet details publicly. Just email me [email protected] and I will email you the meet details.

The meet will be @ 8:30 am leave at 9am .. It should finish approx 1pm but this is a new route for the GTCC so not 100% sure.

Maps will be provided @ the meet spot. CB Radios for those that wish to use them. Please make sure you check your tyre pressure etc, please come with a full tank of petrol.

Camera's is a great idea to capture some nice pics.

whats the point of having coilovers when its still jacked up?

i can be a smartass too. but im just saying its always twisties and im not risking a wombat through my front bar

hmm. Well I suppose there is a chance though as I said been doing cruises for 12 years and not seen one yet.

I did run over a snake once.

I suggest email me, come to the meet and make up your mind.

    • Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went? 
    • Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was £307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell. 
    • As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?
    • To be fair - you see the same thing for every clutch. There's always someone making an installation error.
    • Just saw this, redacted names. It's on a R33 GTS-t Facebook group. Looks like still teething issues.
