Just Letting Everyone Know That The 25th Is The Public Holiday Not The 18th. You Might Want To Double Check Your Dates.

Cheers

well that makes the 18th out for me (ponders seriously) shoulda checked dates thought you did well you were wrong.

well i failed once again to upload maps, is this a sign should i give up still cant access Qld forum, I will be there at 1 pm till 4pm sat 16th if you wanna show up come along ill endevour to get pics of each car and post after.

still cant access Qld forum

Terry I have NFI what you mean by this... You are in the QLD forum posting?? How do you mean you can't access it...

:confused:

I see you have created a thread in the Feedback section asking for help on this too... This is probably for the best since if there IS a problem, it will have to be fixed by the admins, not the mods...

Totally related topic...get over it.

How about you pull your head in Andrew. Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit and you are showing at least half of it.

As for organising. I have seen many other threads of the same nature which take shape over many days or even weeks in some cases. As long as people keep checking the thread up until the day, there shouldn't be any problems.

Terry should post a final message with a unanimous meet point and date/time when everyone confirms their attendance.

No need for maps I would have thought. Maccas is pretty easy to find. It's on Wynnum Road isn't it. If you are coming up the Gateway (inbound) take Wynnum exit and turn left onto Wynnum road follow it through three sets of lights and it's 100m on your right.

If you come down Creek road from Carindale, just turn left onto Wynnum road and it's 100m on your right.

If you are coming from the City. Go via the story bridge, past the shafston hotel and follow it continuously until you see it on your left hand side...(there are no other maccas on the way after shafston hotel so as soon as you see one on your left...that's it)

Oh yeah...if you can't find it...you're an idiot.

Ok, this is just stupid.

Terry, organise a spot, a time, a date and make sure where ever you organise it, it's easy to get in and out of without too many traffic lights so people get caught and dont catch up.

We all have to start somewhere people, give him a break. He's trying to organise a cruise for people who have expressed interest. That's all they have done and sat back and waited for someone to take the lead, Terry has done this, give him a go eh?

I'll close this thread and when you've made a decision on a date, place, and time, repost it.

    • I mean it's probably likely that people overestimate their skills in dialling in a setup and noticing the changes. I had SK shocks and springs, and added heavier springs and got them revalved by Sydney Shocks to suit based upon what I told them I wanted the car to handle like. I got back a completely different feeling set of shocks, which probably (?) feel great on track but holy hell are they rough on tram tracks and the like. The shock dyno actually looks pretty similar to Shockworks (from what I can surmise from a screenshot of a youtube video - and my dyno printout...) Truth be told I doubt I'd be any faster or slower with either setup, or camber/castor combination. I also had whiteline eccentric castor bushes up front of my R34. I removed them and put in poly non-adjustable ones to soothe my OCD (nobody ever set the castor the same side to side, and it'd be near impossible to do) and be happy the wheel is centered in the well now for clearance reasons. Yes I wanted it to move 1mm 'back' :p I've effectively set my castor back to stock, negating all the benefits of that which is supposedly massive. I've probably also altered toe and camber in a negative (detrimental) way. I can't tell any difference steering the car.
    • You reckon? I have to disagree. Notwithstanding that at some point we may all be forced to do this to our cars if we want to keep driving them, there is absolutely nothing about an electric-converted-previously-IC-car that is ever good. EVs that are built by OEMs on platforms that were originally IC already suck, let alone the shitty outcomes that result from doing it as a retro to something that was actually built as an IC car. This is because the platform really needs to be designed to house the battery in a useful place (ie, down as low as possible) and the motors are properly located relative to the wheels that they have to drive. Converted platforms already suck at this. But when you try to shove sufficient battery capacity into a previously IC car, you can't put it down on/in the floor, because that space doesn't exist. You can't find enough space where the fuel tank used to be (if it is an inboard fuel tank) and you don't want to hang it out behind the rear axle line if you had a rear fuel tank. And there's not enough space in the tunnel if you still want to use it for anything remotely like what it was originally used for. The engine bay is too big for a motor, and you'd really prefer that the motor for the rear wheels wasn't in the front engine bay anyway. And there's not enough room where the diff was for a proper man-sized E motor. And then.... there is the complete lack of soul and emotion that is provided by EVs. There are some cracking restomods out there. Like the Alfaholics GTA thingo. But it is petrol powered. Look at the alternative EV version of a GTA restomod by Totem. it is jaw droppingly beautiful. But by all reports is is objectively awful to drive, despite having 600 HP or something, simply because there is nothing there. It sounds like a sewing machine or a leaf blower. It should scream and wail and make the hairs on your neck stand up. Oh, and it's 1500 bloody kg in a car that was <900kg when new. GTRs are heavy enough as it is without pushing them up to 2tonnes worth of pork.

    • hahaha @joshuaho96 the most action it gets is when I have to drive from West to SE VIC to meet the fam. Even then, it;s on highway cruising speeds
    • don't know anyone in this thread, but i just found it, read the entire thing in a few hours, realized greg is still posting progress, and just have to say, this is awesome. it looks awesome. 100% right about the Uras kit making it a pain to get on hoists...have the same kit on my 34 and it takes six 2x4s and race ramps to do it without taking parts off. this reminds me exactly of this thread. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/build-projects-and-project-cars/r63-amg-the-unicorn-of-my-destruction/110824/page8/
