OK everyone, I will be posting some final details over the next few days (hopefully before the Easter break, but DEFINATELY before the end of it).

I will link or scan/upload a map showing the meeting point, and some basic instructions on how to get there as well... It's not hard to find, anyway.

As mentioned, final details and directions for the cruise are here:

Sydney-siders to meet at the Caltex/Hungry Jacks/Red Rooster complex on the corner of Abbott Rd and Foundry Rd in Seven Hills. Be there at 10.30am for an 11am departure.

Cruise route from the F3 is very easy, and I have attached maps for the convenience of all... From the Sparks Rd turn-off, just keep following it straight through as it becomes Wallarah Rd, then Main Rd once you've crossed the bridge splitting Budgewoi Lake and Tuggerah Lake. Continue down through Noraville, and once you pass St Mary's Catholic school and the church attached to it, you will come up to a roundabout. Turn right at this roundabout into Wilfred Barrett Dr, take your first left into Bungary Rd, then your third right into Soldiers Point Dr. Along this narrow stretch, you will find another small roundabout, turn left and it will then lead you directly down to our meeting spot.

Sparks Rd turnoff from the F3 (ref C12 from Sydney, and E13 from Newcastle):

Continuing down Sparks Rd, where it becomes Wallarah Rd (map 39, ref K1 to map 40, ref Q7:

Following Wallarah Rd over the bridge, where it becomes Main Rd (ref A7 to L11):

Onwards past the bridge and down to the roundabout at Wilfred Barrett Drive (ref L13), and turning left into Bungary Rd (ref L14):

Turn right into Soldiers Point Dr (ref M1) and follow it down... (ref P6):

All Newcastle people, I'm thinking it's only me at the moment.

We'll meet up at the BP servo at Beresfield (Start of F3) at 10.30, for an 11.00am departure. it's basically the same directions, except we're coming from the north.

Take the Sparks road exit at Warnervale, then follow the directions Goldzilla has provided :D

See Ya's there :D

Well i found out today that i have to do the last day of a training course for work on Saturday :D

But it's not going to stop me coming, should be outta there by 12.30.

So if anyone from Newy way is meeting at the BP servo, i wont be there.

Fingers crossed should be down there by 1.00pm or so.

sorry guys I'm a no can do on this one..

hopefully next time though..

Unfortunate, but hopefully we'll be able to organise another (bigger) one in the not too distant future again...

Yeah hopefully, would be good to get a heap of us together.

I wont worry about postin my pics, you guys have it covered, i crashed out on the lounge, only just woke up LOL

Can't wait to get my suspension, it looks so high in the front :D

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow 
    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
