We had a new member breakdown on the way to castlemaine and so we all pulled over while the cruise director was informed of the situation. I took a few quick pix before we continued to the lunch destination. Here we are all parked in one of our members massive backyard. As you can imagine everyone was very hungry and though Ross (the home owner) had already started cooking on the BBQ, the food was being eating up so fast Ross couldn't keep up with demand. But he did an expect job and this has to have been the best BBQ I have ever had in my life:).

Time to head off:) From Mt Macedon we jumped onto the Freeway heading for Castlemaine.

The next destination was Mount Macedon. The road leading to the carpark at Mt Macedon As we arrived into the carpark, it became clear we werent the only car club coming to Mt Macedon. An exotic super sports car club had also gathered in the car park featuring a couple of posches, a 350Z vert, a Masarati and 2 Lamborghini's. I waited till everyone left to go to the summit of Mt Macedon and then wondered over to the beautiful exotic cars and took some photos. But no matter how good these cars look I still find the Z32 my dream car.

Highly Modified 200SX.

As you can see we had the whole 4 lane freeway to ourselves:) We arrived in gisborne where we were to meet up with the rest of the Z's attending today's cruise. Everyone quickly started socialising while we waited for the other group to arrive and I think the blue 200SX catch the eye of most of the group.

Went on a big cruise in victoria over the weekend thought you guys might like to see how the day unfolded First we all gathered at the usual Todd Rd Shell Station with a great turnout for the vic crew with I think about 15 cars before we headed off.

Thanks for all the positive comments guys. Xheck out the aus300 libk for some stunning hi res photographer photos.

Yeah its going to be a massive thread and lets just stay it will include everything i have learned and done to my z during my build. and no the ADM z32s all came NA 2+2 with 260 kmph speedos. i think u guys all got TT 2+2.

thanks gary, its been 5 years of part collecting and 11 months of pulling her apart and putting it back together again. Ill be posting a massive build thread about it when I get the last few parts installed on it over the next few weeks.

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 http://www.aus300zx.com/forum/showthread.php?p=1316134#post1316134 and check out the main event thread

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:

[CENTRE] [/center] 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.

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.

VicRoads the Victoria state automotive registration organisation allow custom licence plates to be created to a customers style, colour and text at a cost of $500 AUD. I had my finance and my family get my personalised plates (ADAMZX) for my 25th birthday:D http://www.vplates.com.au/ As vodkashots has already detailed, the Green P plates is a 2nd grade probationary drivers licence. The 1st grade is a red P plate which limits the driver to only 1 passenger in the car. but a few years ago we use to have just the red P plates. Too many young kids started dieing on Australian roads and so the green P plates was introduced to extend the probationary period and it seems to have helped. http://www.aus300zx.com/forum/showthread.php?p=1229081#post1229081 Thank you guys for all the positive comments. This cruise is the biggest meet we have in Victoria and everyone loves to be apart of it. I hope next year my Z will finally be finished and Ill get alot of attention from my hard work.

lol

hope you all liked the photos:zlove:

The last stop was in Geelong where we all gathered for a photo shoot.

From Apollo Bay we headed inland through some tight twistes to end up at the next stop on the cruise. This was what was left of another member's front splash gaurd:confused: that had been scrapping the ground/road during the entire cruise:O. To help him out I quickly removed the 3 screws holding the guard in place and pesto my good deed for the day was done:zlove:

From Avalon we got back onto the freeway and headed to the Great Ocean Road to stop at Apollo Bay for lunch Apollo Bay

Another massive Great Ocean Road Cruise gone and what a day it was. I don't know the exact count but we were looking at 25+ Zs in attendance on the day. it was a fun day and the weather held out to give us a good day for cruising in.
