Adz and scotsman, you better be in its only about 5 mins from your location's i believe. I should be there, prolly working during the day, but i should be able to get it off. Was up the dandies last night with friends, had a whole lotta fun espically when you run out of brakes on the last two corners just before the lights at the bottom of the hill.

Ps. andrew if you need any help figuring out the way up and down of the hill let me know, i'm up it quite a bit so i know my way around the dandie tourist road.

Ps. andrew if you need any help figuring out the way up and down of the hill let me know, i'm up it quite a bit so i know my way around the dandie tourist road.

should meet up and discuss ideas, i work up in MtD, actually im about to head up there right now, so i knows the roads pretty well...

Brad / Jarrod - I'm fully open to suggestions for this cruise! It was really just a simple plan I had anyways as the area isn't massive.

I was thinking we should try and meet at the base in FGully. And get up the top at 5ish as it will just be getting towards sunset and should look pretty cool. Then head down to Monbulk via the Olinda - Monbulk Rd as that road rocks, then make the way back to FGully. But as I said any other idea's are more than welcome.

But remember - twighlight at the end of June and possibly a decent number of cars so about as bad conditions as you can get so I want to keep things simple and safe for everyone. Its more of a meet-up than a typical SAU cruise this one.

Also - it seems a few people are keen for a social drink too. Any suggestions? In town somewhere or say chapel st? Be good to either go somewhere that will get better as the night goes on but is still fun to start - or somewhere thats close to the action for later.

Yeah, agreed, i just had to drive up there and back and well... its damn foggy, wet and the roads are covered in crud.

I basically take the route you described almost every 2nd day, the other option is the moutain hwy and back thru olinda-monbulk rd.

could be some good photo ops at skyhigh thou?

*glance at ns2500*

but as you said pretty bad conditions atm

If the weather is sh!t im not going on the cruise. Definitely up for a social meet though... so I can meet the rest of you monkeys :D

Any ideas where to go? I vote for Crown coz it's close to home for me :(

:.

Has the venue for the social meet up been decided yet?

I'm always down to go somewhere that serves good food... I suggest we head to the Crown Pub!

Good priced meals, full licensed bar.. not to mention the occasional stunning chicks wandering around :rofl:

Oh Did I mention I live 5 mins from Crown? :( haha

    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
