Well firstly I would like to give a BIG THANKS to Jack for giving me a lift on an awesome cruise, really appreciate it buddy, it was GREAT :rofl:

Another awesome job by Ash in organising the cruise.

And great to see a few new faces, as well as the regulars, keep it up!

Hopefully my car will be back on the scene in the next few weeks. Will not make it for the next cruise, but hopefully the one after that.

:Oops: Me?? never... :angel: hahaha.....

sorry couldnt help myself, no better way to exit :thumbsup:  

.

Yeah God help the streets of Altona when you get that manual box in that beast.

:burnout:

You were definitely ear marked as a future member of Team Wang as that exit showed all the attributes of someone who needs to spend some time on a race track! lol

Thanks for the compliments all. Only borrowed the camera from a mate to muck around with. Didn't really touch any of the settings. Love using SLRs :thumbsup:

With a bit more practice, I hope to get better at it. May have to spend more time with Greg and Joel :)

lol, and i reckon me and toby (S15) ended up with the rest of the dirt road, poor bastard did a big wash on the silvia b4 we left in the morning. good to see a certain red rexy take full advantage of the gravel tho... :D

awesome day, shame we had to head off early.

Yeah i washed mine in the morning as well, gonna have to wash it again this arvo!

A few photos i managed to snap - nothing special.

Hey Guys,

Was a great cruise. Sorry I had to turn back at yarra glen. The '9 sec echo' was so floaty around the twisties it wasnt funny. I just put new shocks in it, and found the old shocks (that were farked) to be much better :D oh well hope the GTR will be ready sometime this year. I calculated Ive only driven it for about 12minutes before it broke. Was a real :kick:

Farken GTR's

Dear All,

Thanks for a great cruise. Nice to meet some of the faces behind the forum usernames and see their AWESOME cars. Sorry I had to depart early but I had to be back in Ararat before the kangaroos come out. Hope to catch up with you all again.

Cheers,

Neil

    • I replaced the whole clutch line with the chase bays braided hose, I think it removes that loop, is it the short hose that comes immediately off the slave or is there a drawing in the manual to find what you’re referring to? It was just re-bled when I upgraded to the nismo slave, old slave worked fine but I thought that might help, didn’t change a thing. It’s like the first half of the pedal is pushing air and then when it finally actuates the master the friction zone is tiny. Makes it practically impossible to launch the car
    • Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.
    • I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it
    • If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣
    • I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.
