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:

CYA34

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!

:(

    • Do you plan on using 98 or e85?
    • This should be pretty easy. 200rwkW is just about the max power out of an RB25 stock turbo. So, 12ish psi on a 2.5L. That boost limited mainly by the prospect of seeing the turbine in the cat after the smoke show. A steel wheeled equivalent would likely happily do ~220rwkW at something like 17 psi, where it would probably be bumping into the usual limits of such a sized turbo. These things have like a .48 rear. You will not need the 0.86 rear. The 0.64 will be fine. In fact, if you were looking at various mid-200rwkW options for RBs, most of them would be in a 0.64 rear. So, I think you will definitely want to be no bigger than that for a same sized but probably even more efficient (at making power) modern engine.
    • Change the subframe bushes, transforms the car.
    • For something a little more serious, Davinci Resolve is about the best there is for free video editors. No expiration dates or watermarks, completely free.
    • Well, it's taken me until the last week of 2024 to actually do something on the Skyline but I consider it a good head start to 2025's efforts! I managed to justify (to myself anyway...) my purchase of the lift table. It made taking the rear subframe out a lot easier than it would have been without anyway! Everything is out and stripped down ready for a clean then powdercoating.  She's pretty grubby under there but pretty good condition for a 38 year old Japanese tin bucket. 12 years of zero street time have obviously helped that... I need to decide which of the factory suspension arms I will keep and replace so I only get what I'm keeping powdercoated.  Baby steps but it's a start!
