Congrats to Erin and team for a Very well organised day, the kids had a great time.

A shame about the yellow 33 running up the back of the the other 33 just infront of us. But other than that it went hassle free.

It was good to meet everyone esp hi to Afro love the 34 nice colour dude.

Luckily the drit road didn't go for very long (34 no like dirt).

Bring on MSC4

Cheers:cheers:

Last cruise had 77 including 1 cefiro :D

There is going to be an article submitted by Dave/Andrew and I to HPI and QSC so we'll see what happens. Thanks to JustDave especially for his photos on the day :)

Yeh i was wondering about this, like having 85 skylines for a cruise isnt a good article for HPI etc :)

theres no good shots of all of us together though :)

Long as i get some coverage ill be happy! :headspin:

lol yeh i can drive manual too, auto aint so bad, i put alot of manual gtst's to shame

all those who have had to replace their clutch more than once in the last 6 months 'grunt' :kick:

Besides, a car should be looked at as a whole, not just its transmission :wassup:

maybe for the next msc you should try and get some hpi people to come along?

SAUWA was in HPI recently, nowhere in australia besides brissy do they have cruises with 80+ skylines, and im sure if there was word of HPI coming that the next MSC would quite easily surpass 100 :(

Yeah thanks Erin for a well planned cruise.

I thoroughly enjoyed the run, although I am suffering the consequences of not putting sunscreen on before getting to the lake - one half of my body is red and crispy, the other is white! :Oops:

The only downsides that I either witnessed or heard of:

- the unfortunate incident between the two Skylines - it made me want to cry and they weren't even my cars! Anyone got any pics of either cars? I didn't get to see the yellow Skyline up close, but from close inspection of the Gold Coast Skyline with cool tint job, it certainly wouldn't be looking pretty right about now (and neither will the bank balance!!!).

- the cunning tosser that thought he might be able to boost some wheels with all those Skylines around - WTF!!!

- seeing a fellow Skyliner being pulled over (and breathalised I think) on the way home

- losing all the Sunshine Coast cruisers and having to go home early :)

Perhaps the Sunshine Coast leg of the cruise could be planned ahead for those interested next time??

Other than that, I really enjoyed my first MSC - I look forward to the next one!

:(

    • People still have Skylines? I thought they're non-existent now. 
    • Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
    • They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.
    • I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)
    • Either way he still need those style of spacer to go into the manifold because the photo he currently has is not going to work
