Well...

I'd say another successful day with the SAU-Vic Gang.

(cheers to Snowman for organising this one)

Few minor issues with the maps... one was actually due to the Melways being incorrect. But i doubt anyone is going to ring em up and tell them that :confused:

Thanks to all that came, another wicked turnout with some excellent numbers.

And some crazy cars as always!

Hope everyone enjoyed their day... another cruise will be out shortly.

Possibly Mid Nov as im going holidaying for a month near the end of Nov and im organising the next one

Might be a hybrid with an old route or something. But it'll be good thats for sure :P

Thanks to the guys who i whored with throughout the day. Great fun and good club spirit thats for sure!

Cheers - ash

Thanks once again for a great day guys, I thoroughly enjoyed myself yet again.

Had an absolute ball sitting behind Adz in the stretch before Marysville and even smiled for the camera when it came out the passenger window. Looks like she caught a fair action shot there!

Although we thought we'd made an incorrect turn onto the gravel road, it would seem (looking at the photos) that the head of the pack not far up the road jumped to the same conclusion we did! Ferni reassured us with his GPS but Ash was as confused as us :P

Anyway, I'm looking forward to further outings as I've enjoyed every single one so far.

did u end up stopping in marysville??

Yeah, about 20 of us bought lunch from the same little takeaway place and there was only two people working in there! I think it was the most customers they had ever had at one time!!! We had to wait ages... but it was tasty! :cooldance

Thanks to everyone that showed up - hope you all had a good time.

And I have to have the big appologies for the minor errors in the cruise route / cruise notes.

The only section we didn't cover on the scouting cruise had about 4km's of gravel. We do these scouting cruises to make sure there IS NO GRAVEL or otherwise "unskyline friendly" roads but if you knew how many roads we travel in these scouting cruises and how many we have to scrub off you will know that sometimes its almost impossible to cover every km - so you rely on stupid things like maps for giving you acurate information.

But again sorry for that inconvenience. And also with the Beenak Rd thing (for those that went home the "easy way" from Healsvile you won't know about this little issue) Shame cause for me that last section was the most enjoyable for the day.

But otherwise, the weather was nice, the roads were never boring, and the cars we fantastic. Big thanks to James for giving me Golgo for half the cruise and to Brandon for taking me home.

Thanks to the people that organised the cruise, my girlfriend and I had a really good time on our first skyline cruise. Sorry about the error with our melways, I just didn't want to go down another dirt road. :(

Had a ball.

My mate really enjoyed it too, now I have him contemplating a Skyline.

I'll convince him I'm sure.

Great roads and seeing the look on the local yocals faces as twenty odd Skylines cruised by was priceless.

Congrats to organisers for a great day.

One suggestion is that maybe next time we take the BBQ pack as we seemed to all filter off during lunch and a BBQ would keep everyone together and chatting amongst ourselves.

But all in all, a great day.

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      Out of curiosity, what's the reason for converting? I think @R3N3 might have the Frenchy's kit in the R33? I somehow think of you as the ambassador for realistic and clean street-driven setups nowadays

      V35 Overheat + Coolant Boil & Overflow + Engine not Starting

      By V35_Paul · Posted

      careful when running the car after a boil over. Ive heard you can lose enough coolant that it won't show the right temps because of too much air in the system (or something like that). Make sure the levels are good before trying again.  Maybe a mobile mechanic can come have a look with their scan tool ?

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      OK, just for some extra clarity - there is more than one option at Frenchy's. 1. You can buy the whole kit - with or without the actual compressor. The whole kit includes mounts, hoses, condensor, etc. That's either ~$2200 or ~$2800. No surgery required with this option. 2. You can buy just the bracket (~$600), or the bracket with the compressor (~$1200). Either of this or the above option "without the compressor" is if you already have an Echo comp or you are able to source one locally. Whatever the case, in this option, you will need surgery done on your hoses to adapt to the new compressor. When I said "the Frenchy's kit", I meant the whole kit in option 1. It is obviously somewhat more $$ than a $1500 OEM compressor. But if I had to spend $1500 on an OEM compressor, I would certainly consider spending double that to renew and significantly update everything forward of the firewall. Another option is to rebuild your original compressor. My R34 comp is currently dead and I will be most likely doing that to it if the spare one in the shed is also leaky.

      V35 Overheat + Coolant Boil & Overflow + Engine not Starting

      By carnoobb · Posted

      Hey all, my 2004 Nissan Skyline 350GT overheated the other day with coolant boiling and leaking out of the coolant reservoir when I was parking. So today, I started it up again just to see if it was a thermostat/head gasket issue. After about 20 mins of running, temps were normal again, no coolant was leaking out and the upper reservoir hose was warm but my engine suddenly cut off. I checked the oil dipstick and cap when it was running and there was no white foamy residue and the exhaust did not have white smoke. I tried starting up the car again but it would only crank, similar to when I had a camshaft sensor issue just that now there’s no check engine light on the dash. Any ideas? Unfortunately I don’t have an OBD2 that can read the Nissan's programme.
