I'm goin from the sunny coast however I am thinking I might tag onto the back of the cruise as it goes past me in caloundra rather than drive to bne then back the way I came and then out to Somerset  :)

What to the fellow Sunny Coasters think :(

Gives me chance to sleep in and save fuel  :lol:

Last year the cruise didn't follow the Bruce Hwy north to the Sunshine Coast - we headed north west from Aspley and came through the hinterland (out Woodford-Maleny way) to Lake Baroon... this year we aren't going as far north, and as far as I'm aware, we're still heading north west from Aspley (not via Bruce Hwy), so I'm not quite sure where in Caloundra we are going to pass you... ;)

I heard from one of my co-workers who is a member of FORDLASER.COM that there is a cruise out to Somerset on the same day for them. Might not hurt to hit them up for some donations also. I mean, I know they are not Skylines but they do have wallets and it is for the kids.

You are one hundred percent correct!

I agree with 85urk, that way we all start together and that way we dont get lost, left behind etc. if the main meet departure time is 10 then lets say meet at moby vics at 9 for a 9:10-9:15 depart which should allow us plenty of time to compensate for traffic. What u sunny coasters think

Ok, local update!

It turns out that I forgot I have my anniversary weekend getaway with Katrina that same weekend.

So I guess I'll see you all there then hey!

I'm trying to convince her that we can leave early on sunday morning and meet up at the dam. I may have to crew up with the Goldcoast boys on this one.

Ok.. i think i was lost there...where's Moby Vic ?

how about all of the Sunny coasters meeting up at BP in Caboolture and all head down to Aspley instead..? wouldn't that be easier ? ( for me anyway :D )

say be there by 9am for the 9:15 depature ?

Those asking for a map of the route, yes I normally do this, and yes I will be. Please give me a chance to do so.

We will be heading out this weekend to do a scouting run and will hopefully (time permitting) have an itinery up for you on Sunday night.

I agree that the Sunny Coasters should probably just start the cruise from Aspley (c'mon guys, it's a bit of extra fuel and a little less sleep, but it's for the kids! :D ), but I'm cool with meeting up at whatever servo along the way... we'll just need to clarify which servo is which!

(which big one has Maccas/KFC/etc., and has a twin on the other side of the hwy?)

For all you Sunny coast cruisers

I'm for the BP as it has better coffee :):D:):blink:

Plus it has maccas and KFC

Plus better fuel and parking (flat)

How about we all meet there at 9am? or maybe 8.45 if we wanna eat ;) Whats the verdict?

Sounds good to me... B)

sounds like a plan, which BP servo are we meeting at just to be 100% certain.  the moby vic side (heading towards brisbane) or or caboolture/beerwah side (headin towards the sunnycoast)

I would think the one on the east side (heading towards Brissy)...

    • Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!
    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
