Hey guys,

One of the more revered members at Aus300zx has fallen victim to an unfortuntate tragedy. Eric's wife is currently in a semi conscious state after dying for 35min and losing a lot of blood (3.5L or so)! All this happened a few days after she gave birth to their 4th child. The guy has had to close down his shop and stay at home as the primary caretaker. Definitely a major loss for them. (Full Story is here - http://www.aus300zx....ad.php?t=322395.)

Eric is the mechanic that a lot of the guys use and definitely knows his stuff and has a lot of credence and respect in their community.

You may remember Mike from aus300zx who joins us on different cruises, he's asked me to get you guys to join.

They reckon that they can bring 20 Zs for the cruise - lets show them what RBs (and VQs) can do!

  • WHY: A2ZED & WOOSHKA FUNDRAISER CRUISE - BBQ - SHOW & SHINE
  • WHEN: Sunday, 19th of May 2013
  • WHERE: Meet at Glenaffric St The Gap (there is a nice big carpark there) 9:30 for a 9:45-10 departure
  • WHO: OPEN TO EVERYONE!
  • WHAT TO BRING: CASH! :yes: ..lets not beat around the bush here!
  • ENTRY: What you can afford to give per car. Don't be a tight ass. I think a cost per car of $100 might be asking a bit much - so its really whatever you can contribute to the fundraiser.. (Even if its just $98 bucks!....) :woot: Seriously though, if thats too much, please just contribute whatever you can! .. like $95 bucks! (or whatever)...

Route:

  • Meet at Glenaffric St The Gap (there is a nice big carpark there) at say 9:30 for a 9:45-10 departure.
  • Cruise up over Mt Nebo and Mt Glorious. Stop at the bottom of Mt Glorious in one of the parks for a re-group and stretch of the legs.
  • Continue on to Fernvale Memorial Park on Brisbane Valley highway.
  • Arrive 12ish for a BBQ at 12:30.... everyone can sit around and have a good catchup!

Cost for BBQ:

  • $5 for a sausage in bun
  • $10 for a burger
  • $3 for a soft drink

"Yes inflated prices but its a fundraiser not a soup kitchen" - Loud'N'Proud ;)

Show and Shine 1pm - 2-2.30pm (THERE WILL BE PRIZES!)

Then head home via Warrego highway and Ipswich motorway.

We make available Wooshka stickers for donations / donating participants so you show off your support with pride! :woot:


Can you please advise early if you are coming so we can organise catering. Otherwise you might go hungry! (and ill take your money anyway! :yucky:

The guys would be there to help us if we lost one of our own (god forbid), so let's dig in and help them out!


Plenty of notice so hope to see you guys there!


Cheers,
Tony

Thanks Tony :)

Just noticed that Rob260 has started a similar thread in NSW section. The aus300 forum has planned a cruise in each state on the same day to show our support.

Can accomodate any numbers as long as we know :)

Also, re: show and shine prizes, I have no idea what they are, I am sure that when that was thought of, we were only considering zeds.

Just as some nice feedback, Coz from Concept z performance has pledged $1000 to the cause. He supplies parts for other nissans also:

I'm in!

My heart goes out to them. To endure a 20+ hour birth then to have that happen as well is just horrible. If there is anything you guys need a hand with let me know :)

    • I am currently going this route. I am curious how much horse power you put behind the cut bell housing? Collins was telling me I am going to crack it and bluh bluh bluh. Because I didn’t buy the custom fly wheel from him. I am looking for somewhere around like 500 hp
    • Forgot to mention that these are the before pics when I first got it!
    • Thanks @PranK for the updated member status, much appreciated! 👍🏼 Now, about those pics… Unfortunately I could only find ones that I took in the dark. I was soon to discover that underneath it wasn’t in the best shape, but it was mine and that’s all I cared about at the time 😆
    • Oh, and only having done this task yesterday, I've now driven the car ~60km since, and while it is hard to avoid placebo effect and confirmation bias, I reckon that some annoyances I had with the way the car has been behaving have improved. Which....kinda makes sense, I guess. If the bushes were really stiff and resisting rotation, they would have been contributing to the effective wheel rate. And if it was more so on one side (which it was, because one side was worse than the other) then.... you might imagine that the additional rate would be asymmetric, and potentially even different between compression and rebound. And so... the car has been twitchy at higher speeds - like freeway on ramps. It really shouldn't be. The wheel alignment is good and there are no (other) known problems elsewhere in the suspension. But at 90-100 on a long sweeping ramp, tiny steering wheel motions would make it feel like it wanted to rear steer. Quite nervous. At lower speeds it would heave about in a manner that it didn't use to. Didn't want to put power down, etc etc. Now...seems to behave better. Am going to have to concentrate on the various corners where it has exhibited weirdness, on the rare occasions when I can get a decent run at them without Methanial getting in the way in his D-Max/Ranger/LDV Van/etc.
