Due to the other organiser not providing any details for the cruise from the twin servo's to Nelson's Bay we thought we'd get another one on the way.

Date: Monday 17th April

Time: 10.30am meet (11am depart)

Meeting place: Edgeworth Macca's

Then meet up with maitland people at caltex at end of F3 (11:15)

Destination: Walka water works

All cars welcome skylines or not, bring your friends for a nice drive. The water works park has elec bbqs, tables and chairs, toilets, plenty of shade and lots of grass area.There is no shop up there so you will have to pack everything you need. Bbqs are $1.A rug or chair will come in handy.

You will need $3 to get in, must have correct change($2 or $1 coins)

Let us know if your interested. Should be a good day.

Coming so far

1) ULOOOK

2) Random Integra :D

3) OPASEN

4) BazaR33 (maybe)

5) weapn + 5 cars

6) d-d (maybe)

7) Mum's Taxi

8) monkeykplunk

9) Adam_54

10) Trust33

Directions as follows:

* Right at Minmi Rd

* Left at r/about onto Newcastle Link Rd

* Follow till merges with northbound F3

* Follow onto Weakleys Dve

* Left onto New England Hwy

* Through r/about to Les Darcy Dve

* Right at r/about after bridge

* Left onto Hannan St

Its easy to find there are signs everywhere, hopefully we wont get split up.

Does anyone know if this is t the case?

Not too keen on taking my car up there if we are driving over potholes and unsealed roads?

Cheers

Simon said the roads up there have just all been re-tarred and are good. The roads worry me too but he said they were ok. If there are any other suggestions on where to go, we can change it. The vineyards was just an easy answer.

If the roads are good i am fine to go, but if they are crap its not good.

Does any one actually know for certain? or are we assuming they are still bad?

Ill speak to Simon

ok you can count us in on this cruise.

sounds like it will be an enjoyable drive

provided the road has been upgraded since I last drove on it.

lets just say potholes and coil overs do not go together very well

a very costly mistake.....

but either way were in

not sure if we'll be in my car or the other halfs (brizzi)

when you check out the roads let us know definate meet up times

for us people that already live up that way maybe we can meet up somewhere say Maccas at Rutherford for a suggestion or elsewhere

then arrange to meet up with the rest of the pack.

just a suggestion..

I'm in...

the roads up the way are pretty good now.

My job takes me on them regularly, and even in a truck they're pretty good.

I was just up there on thursday, and the majority of them a re pretty good.

I haven't looked at that map on the first post yet for the route you suggested, but I'll check it out later on today and tell you if I know any of them are too shit to drive performance cars on.

    • You know how your car rolled through a fence in your last jacking escapade? Scissor jacks increase the likely hood of that sort of thing happening immensely!
    • http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.
    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
