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.

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      By Victory · Posted

      All I can say Duncan is good luck and I hope that Neil did not run any E85 in Cheryl. I have recently experienced the full spectrum of fuel tank issues in my R33's that had been caused by E85 and contaminated fuel. When you take the cover off the top of the tank and have a look inside you will get an understanding of how easy it will be. Best case situation is clean fuel with minimal contamination. My GTR was like this and it was a very simple operation to just grab the fuel pump carrier bracket and slide it up and out of the tank. My three GTS_T's had different levels of fuel contamination that was probably caused by E85 in the fuel.  In the worst case all of the metal components in the tank had rusted to the point where there were pieces of rusted metal swirling around in the tank. This required the removal of the exhaust, the tailshaft, the complete rear cradle and the fuel tank. The components in the tank were that rusted that it took days to get the fuel pump carrier and the mounting brackets out of the tank. When the tank was finally cleaned, everything inside the tank had to be replaced. With the tank all back together I could then reinstall it in the car along with everything else that had to come out. Good luck and I hope that you find a clean tank.

      It is a two door. It is black and also still has the OEM wheels and stereo. Exact model would be KR_R32RGFEL_SS According to GTR-Registry.com is a 2 Door Coupe; RB20DE; 2WD no HICAS; MT.F5; (11L) Projector Headlamps and Fog Lights; (12_) Electronic Active Full Auto Air Con (Climate Control); (13-14SS) V Selection -- Which seems to be accurate description of my variant. Will try to upload a few pictures soon. The OEM wheels look like the below image. Image is taken from the goo-net-exchange website.

      Welcome Gabriel. At least your car has a glorious RB and not the shitty CA18. As MBS206 mentioned all the good bits can be added later. Two doors or four?
