Another year, another GOR done and dusted. Had an awesome day and thoroughly enjoyed the cruise. It was so good to finally be back driving my beloved Z again after 11 months of begin off the road hich also made this years GOR cruise extra special as I finally got a chance to relieve my hugh 2000spec replica project to the Vic members and get some feedback and support from the guys before I post anything to the rest of the forums.

 

The cruise began as it always has at the Todd Rd servo/KFC meet point. By the time I had arrived there were at least 10 Zs already parked in the car park and the owners were already chatting away. As I had hoped for my Z created alot of attention and as soon as I got out of the car I was swamped with questions and congratulations from all guys there.

 

Here she is all finished and ready for a big day of cruising.:zlove:

 

 

 

It didn't take long for the rest of the attendees to arrive at the meet point and take over the carpark. I think we ended up with 20 or so Zs before we headed off.

Second meet point was at Avalon, and we picked up a few more Zs here to bring the total Z attendee amount to around 23 - 25 cars. I was swamped by few members wanting to sit and have a look at my Zs almost new OEM interior and exterior.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So we were off, bypassed geelong and headed straight for Lorne and because this time of year is when all the schoolies (Spring break) are out and about Lorne was packed with people and the look on everyones faces when 25+ Z's started rolling through the main street was priceless. It made me feel so proud to own one of these beautiful sports cars and I will never get sick of that feeling. After passing through Lorne we made it to the main event, the great Ocean Road. and this was where I was going to try out one of my new suspension systems I installed as part of my project. I have installed the OEM

adjustable suspension system which wasn't standard in JDM or ADm Z32s. so my JDM model is the only one with this system in place and function in Australia:). I wasn't sure if I would notice any real difference when driving with the system engaged. So after a few turns I decided to flick the switch to touring and what a difference it made. The car felt like it was on train tracks and it just suck to the road at speeds I would normally slow down for. Unfortunately as expected the pack I was cruising with got stuck behind 2 buses at one point and so once we slowed down I could feel every single liitle bump in the road, so all I had to do was flick the switch back to sport and the car smooved out all the bumps. I loved the new system and I was using it as much as I could.

 

So after 20 - 30 mintues of twisting and turning through the GOR we finally made it to Apollo Bay for lunch and to stretch how legs. Got to catch up with some mates of mine and just talk Z stuff:zlove:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After Apollo Bay we headed inland for some spirited driving throught the Oatway National park with lots of high speed bush roads to create a peaceful surroundings to drive in.

we then made it to the Cape Oatway lighthouse meet point. Here a few members went off to photograph the amazing scenery from the top of the lighthouse while the rest of the

members stayed in the car park and just socialised with each other. I was again questioned about my Z with a small circle of people surrounding me and my car to have a good look inside

and out.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Upon leveling cape oatway lighthouse we were giving a rare opportunatity to be providing photograph for the hardcore photographers on the day and they were set up along the road leading out of the carpark with instructions to get hi res action shots of the cars driving by. Unfortunately due to me losing the car in front of me my cruise was cut short and thinking we were surpose to be heading back to geelong I sent most of the attendees who were all following me home early so no more photos to post upafter cape oatway.

 

Regardless I still enjoyed the 10th anniversary of the GOR cruise and I can't for the next big Z cruise.

 

Also guys if you wanna see more photos goto
