A big thanks to everyone for making this a great day, we had over 20 cars turn up!

Luckily the rain gods held off, and apart from wetting the GC meet point it was actually dry for the entire cruise.

By all accounts the run up springbrook was good, and apart from a few false lookouts and a bit of a squeeze parking we made it there ok, with some good views to look at.

Unfortunately, there were some issues with getting us all to the right spot for lunch due to the group being split up, I'll have to work on that for next time, but from what I understand we all made it there eventually?

here's the photo's I took

i was the guy who texted/called to try and find out where everyone was - I ended up following 3 or 4 cars back half way down Tamborine before realising they were heading home early and not going to the lunch meet.. after driving back up the hill and around for an hour or so (until ~2ish) I decided to call it quits and head home.. shame I couldn't find yous and join in for lunch - was looking forward to it..

but those are some decent photos :) nice panorama

Trying to be helpful not a jerk,

Part of the confusion for me was that the route map wasn't specific.

I'm not sure if that was intentional or not (gatecrashers or the fuzz), but Point B was right next to Purling Brook Falls, so when some of us got lost, I just led us there not knowing the actual stop was Best of All Lookout further down.

Link to map of route we actually drove compared with link to route map

Maybe a quick list of locations people could print/store in their GPS/enter into their Smartphone Maps app.

Would mean they could reach the next point from where ever they ended up getting lost.

For example,

- BP, Stapylton-Jacobs Well Rd, Stapylton

- Park car park, Hardys Rd, Mudgeeraba (North end, cnr Gold Coast Springbrook Rd)

- Best of All Lookout, (End of) Repeater Station Rd, Springbrook

- Witches Chase Cheese Company, Long Rd, North Tamborine (cnr Eagle Heights Rd)

Yeah, the missus was at first sad that she didn't bring her S15, but after that section was glad to be in my boaty 33 with its stock ride height, spring rate/stiffness.

If by "that v8" you mean the ss, that was my friend's car. Very lumpy idle, such a cool and fast car. I'll bet he would have thought your car was cool Natro (and the v8 r34)!

It looked like a fantastic day out, and I would have loved to be there too, but I'm up in Brisbane with my wife in hospital giving birth to our twins!

I'm sure I'll be at a future meet to put some names to faces though!

      AC Compressor

      You don't need an AC mechanic to fit it. You do need one to vac the system down and fill it. That's how you get refrigerant.

      Anti Squat Kit

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Well, it's actually probably worse than you think. I think you have to (minimally) install GKTech's spherical bush replacements to the lower arm's inner ends, because you absolutely cannot subject the original (or poly) bushes to that much misalignment. The better option being to replace the whole lower arm with GKTech's unit. This brings sphericals to the lower inners either way you do it. And are you aware that the kit is weld in and you have to take the subframe out of the car to get it fitted? It's a fair bit of work. These issues both drive my ongoing dithering about doing this to my car, for the last couple of years.

      AC Compressor

      By kevboost7 · Posted

      The website said you need a AC technican to swap it in. Is that true? How did you fill the refridgerant? Was it easy to install?  If i just got the bracket and the new smaller AC compressor, would the other components be compatible with R134?

      Anti Squat Kit

      By ianp · Posted

      Hi All Finally getting back to work on the R32 this weekend and had a quick question about the GKTech anti squat kit (https://au.gktech.com/products/s13-180sx-r32-subframe-anti-squat-reduction-weld-in-kit?_pos=39&_fid=eb6b5077e&_ss=c) So, this straightens out the rear LCA and increases the roll centre by 20MM which is great BUT I also have MFR roll centre adjusters (https://www.rhdjapan.com/moonface-super-lap-rc-joint-roll-center-adjuster-bnr32-ps13-rps13.html) which gives a +15MM lift. My question is whether they can/should be used together or if its going to massively effect the geometry? In my mind, I can't see that they work together but was hoping for some feedback on someone who has done this before deciding which to use or if both?   Thanks

      Rb25 into r31/wont idle

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Agreed. Thing has to be running absolutely pig rich as well. I would worry a lot less about your idle and start going through all your electrical before the car burns down.
