Yah cruise is still going ahead, unless a cyclone whips up in the next hour.

I wanted to come but it's my missus birthday and we have plans.I'll come to the meet point though to say hi. This would have ben my first sau event.

Bummer mate, still we will have more events coming soon. There is a happylaps at QR at the end of the month, always a good way to learn about your car.

Well what can I say?

A fantastic day with a fantastic group of people! :)

To those I hadn't met previously, it was great to meet you all today and I hope to see at upcoming events.

Thanks goes to Cadmoon for organinsing the cruise and booking the pub for lunch. It was good to see 34 people at the pub for lunch. Great effort all! Thanks to the Toowoomba crowd for coming out to great and eat with the likes of us from Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast. Besides our little run in with the Peugeot coming into Esk, I am impressed with the way everyone represented the club today with such good behavior.

If the upcoming cruises are going to be anything like today's, I can't wait for them!

I hope to scenic way home from Esk enjoyable. :)


Brett, where did you disappear to mate?

I had some nasty noises coming from the lower ball joints on the car and only really noticed how bad they actually were once I was moving it about in the car park at the planetarium. Seems they gave up the ghost at Norwell when I noticed the noise first but of course only got worse since. I decided it was probably not the best idea to drive it to Toowoomba after all. Street Sprints at QR tomorrow are now out also.

I'll keep an eye out for the Happy Laps at the end of the month, it'll be fixed by then and I'll come to that.

Didnt know Tony played Lead Guitar ??? Scott, agreed, was a great day .. Kath and I had a great time meeting you and all the others we havent met before, Although my passenger didnt enjoy the quick windy roads at the end, will be spending tmr getting all the fingernails out of the passenger door handle..

Bahahahaha what a knob shiner! If he had any intelligence or consideration, he would've let us past! Bet he was a houso! ;)

Guys, must say, it was an excellent day out! Loved every bit - except the STL by a certain someone...

Huge thanks go out to all you guys for behaving and driving responsibly. There was that issue with the Peugeot but these things happen.

Massive thanks to Mike for organising an awesome day out and to Chris as well for rallying the Toowoomba troops.

The steak was HUGE and really nicely done.

Chantalle and Tyler really enjoyed themselves as well. Overall, was really worth the painful back.

34 people at lunch?! That's huge!

Highlight of the day was driving through Toowoomba and seeing the expression on people's faces. "WTF is a Maxima doing there?" :P

Thanks to everyone for making this a great day!

Definitely look forward to the next one. Sunny coast or Gold coast maybe? Head down on a Friday night, book a hotel and come back Saturday after lunch. ;)

I agree a very enjoyable day out, even if it did use 40L of fuel. Thanks to everyone who came out and made it such a good day. If you guys don't mind giving us some feedback on what you did and didn't like and anything you could change or suggestions you have that would be great. We are doing this for you after all :thumbsup:

We are looking as possibly having some overnight cruises and events depending on the level if interest we get.

Also sadly we can't force people to come otherwise there would have been several 100 skylines ;)

    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
    • Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers 
    • The axels in my R33 seem tired, and have a bit of play in them. I cannot find any new of course, not interested in buying used, but I am looking to see if anyone can identify some cross compatible axles. In the states I have seen suggested for S chassis the J30 axles, however for the skyline (as best I can tell) the lengths are about an inch off (2.5cm) on both sides. R33 my measure L 22" R 24.5" GPT L 22.5" 24.25" J30 L 23.5" 25.5"  so shaft length is probably an inch wider. Not sure if someone has another still remanufactured option besides the J30. I figured worst case I can buy a pair tear them down and swap the center shaft. My other option was reaching out to GSP to see if they cannot piece together a set, since the axle stubs are still manufactured, I wouldn't think it be that hard to find a shaft or make a shaft work. 
    • Potentially some interesting data for some of you here; Hank Iroz from Iroz Motorsport testing a new Xona Rotor 5964S on a Audi RS3 2.5L DAZA motor. https://facebook.com/share/p/14EU18MyDqZ/ Cliff Notes: Turbo has the new Xona XRE compressor aero with an X4C compressor cover, reportedly 0.64 rear housing. 900whp (670kw) @ 37psi, 170k shaft speed, motor is making 2bar (29psi) boost by roughly 3800rpm, 500lbft (670nm) torque by 3500rpm. They overlaid a stock RS3 on USA 91 fuel (red), and a "Stage 2" RS3 on E85 (yellow), and this 5964S (blue) - the 5964S isn't losing any ground to either. Apparently out-flowing their prior tests with a Xona 8264S (green), and this 5964S (white) also has a smaller A/R than that did.
